This article is about the first track on Olivia Rodrigo's album Guts, "All-American Bitch". A strongly-worded critique of society's expectations from women, this song has everything, from a Kennedy reference to a transition from folk to pop-punk and a scream for the ages. Although not given the full single treatment, it did receive a great SNL performance! I wanted to time this around Election season in America, but no comment on the outcome of said election... I hope all American Wikipedians voted, and thanks a lot to everyone who will take the time to give their feedback here.--N Ø 06:43, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Media review - pass

Hi MaranoFan, happy to do the media review. The article contains the following media files:

The first two are images licensed under CC BY 2.0. The third one is a copyrighted audio file under fair use with a valid non-free use rationale. I'm not an expert here but the quality may be too high: it's 173 kbps but WP:SAMPLE recommends 64 kbit/s for ogg files.

The media files are relevant to the article and placed in appropriate locations. They all have captions. Both images have alt texts. The last clause of the English caption at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Olivia_Rodrigo_@_Theatre_at_Ace_Hotel_10_09_2023_(53422493857).jpg is a little odd. If "with perfect all American lips and tits" is a direct quote, then it needs quotation marks. Or the clause could simply be removed. Phlsph7 (talk) 10:47, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing the media review, Phlsph7. The 64kbit/s recommendation is referring to the value between length and file size, which is 63 kbps for this file. Similar sizes can be seen on other files like this one.--N Ø 11:10, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah right, it seems I read of the kbps value of the mp3 file given at the bottom rather than the kbps value of ogg file itself. The caption has been adjusted, so this takes care of the remaining concern. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:28, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"comparing it to the work of other rock artists" - what is "it"? the production, the song, or the production and her vocals?

"An online TikTok video compared the chorus of "All-American Bitch" to Miley Cyrus's 2008 single "Start All Over" - can we add something like "upon the song's release" to say that this is part of the immediate reception and justify the sentence being in the release section?

@MaranoFan: You probably just missed this one, so pointing it out before supporting. Medxvo (talk) 19:22, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For this one, I think it is self-explanatory that the album's opener would have been released as part of it (and the album's full release date is mentioned earlier in the article).--N Ø 19:27, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An album opener can be released as a single many years after the release of the album, see "Fearless" (2010) from Fearless (2008). I get your point though, and I will add my support now anyways. Best of luck! Medxvo (talk) 19:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Some opined that the song would be suitable ..." - can we attribute this to the two sources instead of "some"?

"the Apple TV+ series The Buccaneers" - "the Apple TV+ series The Buccaneers (2023)"
the Guts World Tour is a 2024–2025 concert tour not just a 2024 tour; this is how it's currently considered... (for both the lead and prose)
There are incidents of "Guts's ...", "The New York Times's ...", "Chicago Sun-Times's ..." that I think should be "Guts' ...", "The New York Times' ...", "Chicago Sun-Times' ..."

I hope these comments are helpful for now. Best of luck with the FAC! Medxvo (talk) 20:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These are all done as well. Thanks for the well wishes!--N Ø 18:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - pass

"She references the Kennedy family while encapsulating her desire to meet ideals: "I got class and integrity, just like a goddamn Kennedy" - which part of the NME source supports this claim?
the Rolling Stone sources should have a limited access not a subscription access
The Wall Street Journal and The Tennessean should have a subscription access
The New York Times, The Cut, the Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Vulture, Vogue, and the Minnesota Star Tribune should have a limited access for refs 1, 3, 35, 40, 46, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99
Some sources need to be archived such as refs 44, 78, and 87
Why not use this source instead of the Apple TV+ Press source?

Medxvo (talk) 20:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I have implemented all the suggestions except an archive for ref 47, since the archive sites just produce a paywall and it has a ProQuest link which are usually not affected by linkrot.--N Ø 17:18, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This passes the source review. Medxvo (talk) 18:38, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
