Wikipedia:Peer review/Don't Say You Love Me (M2M song)/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I've listed this article for peer review because I intend to nominate it for FAC. The article is also currently waiting in line for a copyedit.

Thanks, Freikorp (talk) 10:23, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Calvin999
  • A caption isn't needed for the single artwork
  • No specific day for the release date (Info box)
  • Link CD, remove single (Info box)
  • Why are there citations for the writer and producer parameters?
  • I probably put them in there before I added the information to the prose. Removed. Freikorp (talk)
  • You can just use surnames for the producers if the same as the writers
  • Put the music video external link in the External links section
  • There is no critical commentary for the Alternative cover art so that needs to be removed
  • "Don't Say You Love Me" is the debut single by Norwegian pop duo M2M, composed of singers Marion Raven and Marit Larsen, who were 14 and 15-years-old respectively when the song was recorded. → For an opening sentence, this is really long winded. I don't think the final clause is even needed.
  • The song first aired on → Do songs air? I thought only TV programs did.
  • I don't see why the term would be inappropriate, but i've changes it to "appeared"; do you think that's better? Freikorp (talk)
  • on their 'best of' album → on their greatest hits album
  • I thought 'best of' would be more appropriate considering M2M only had 5 hits; the majority of tracks on the album are unreleased material, remixes and acoustic versions. Do you still think it should be considered a "greatest hits" album. Freikorp (talk)
  • The song was well-received critically, → Why? By who?
  • and charted in over a dozen countries, → Boring/not particular impressive or notable
  • including at number → Remove 'at'
  • Done. I've reworded to "reached" instead of "charted" as I think that reads better without the "at". Freikorp (talk)
  • on the Billboard Hot 100. → What country?
  • 15-years-old → Do we need these hyphens?
  • At my first FAC I was told to add hyphen's in the ages like that. Freikorp (talk)
  • tracks from Shades of Purple, → Why isn't the album linked?
  • , including "Don't Say You Love Me" were recorded. → If this part is to be kept, then you need a comma after the song title
  • was mixed by → Link mixed
  • the song is said to be → This sounds like you don't know
  • I was trying to convey that it's the opinion of the person reviewing the song, but I suppose that's unnecessary as the song's meaning isn't exactly ambiguous. Freikorp (talk)
  • They then toured Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo → Why do you list two countries and a city? Why not Japan?
  • Live performances and covers typically goes after music video
  • Reception: I don't see the need for three subsections when they are so small.
  • Each section could easily be one paragraph instead of having one or two lines each
  • The tables need to be marked up for access (the Certification table does this)
  • I'm afraid I don't know exactly what that means. Someone else modified the certification table. Can you explain?

I hope these prove useful to you. Please ping me if you have any questions.  — Calvin999 18:29, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Calvin999: I'm so glad someone with experience in songs articles reviewed this. This is my first GA song article so its been a bit of a learning experience. Please have a look at my replies (there are only a couple questions) and see if the changes are to your liking. Thanks. Freikorp (talk) 10:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
