GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    In the lead, "'Everytime' is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears from her fourth studio album, In the Zone" ---> "'Everytime' is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears from her fourth studio album, In the Zone (2003)", so that it can provide context for the reader, also you have the dates after the tours so it only seems fair that the album have its release date.
    Done. Xwomanizerx (talk) 17:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
    Check.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    In the lead, "It was released on May 17, 2004 by Jive Records" ---> "It was released on May 17, 2004, by Jive Records", commas after dates, if using MDY. In the Development section, MTV News'" is that supposed to be like that?
    Added the comma after 2004. As for MTV News, I am not from the US, so I assume it's a show or at least a small segment between commercials, that's why I put it in italics. Xwomanizerx (talk) 17:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
    It's fine if it's italicized or not, but I mean the extra apostrophe.
    I removed it. Xwomanizerx (talk) 15:35, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
    Check.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):  
    C. It contains no original research:  
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
    Not that great.
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    Not that much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Thank you to Xwomanizerx for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:45, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
