Happy to hear! This was my first 'major' article to write so happy to learn something from this if nothing else. Madbrad200 (talk) 19:32, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Brad. I've been very busy last couple of days but I'm hoping to start this review shortly. All the best. No Great Shaker (talk) 06:01, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Result

I love the enthusiasm that shines through this article. I have to admit I knew nothing at all about the subject although I had vaguely heard of afrobeats. I found the article informative and interesting; so, as a reader has learned something he didn't know before, the article must be fit for purpose.

I made a few small tweaks as I worked my way through, but nothing of any significance – just being a gnome, really. It's fine on all counts. The only thing lacking is a few images but as afrobeats is still relatively new, I appreciate the difficulty given copyright restrictions.

I'm promoting the article to GA. Very well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:38, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! What kind of pictures would make sense? I know they need to be 'free to use'. I was thinking of looking around for some pics of artists that are talked about within the article at some point. Madbrad200 (talk) 15:15, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

@Versace1608:I added a few, mind checking over them? I was gonna add the Eazi one but it seemed out of place too. Thanks! Madbrad200 (talk) 15:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Madbrad200: The images look great. What do you think about replacing Davido's image with this image of Fuse ODG in the Azonto and dance crazes section? A good portion of the first paragraph is about Fuse OGD's impact in the U.K. Davido's image go underneath, similar to how it is here.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 14:25, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
