Talk:Impossible Princess/Archive 1

Archive 1

Good Article nomination has failed

The Good article nomination for Impossible Princess/Archive 1 has failed, for the following reason:

While the referencing is decent where used, sources outside Minogue's own website should be found. Also, the "Singles" and "Cover Artwork" sections are wholly unsourced as are large parts of "Making of the record". Finally, more as a style point than a GA requirement, the Release details section could use a serious re-tooling as it looks very strange right now. Staxringold 14:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I have addressed the issues with references and reformatted the "release details" section, placing them into a table. I have now renomianted the article.Underneath-it-All 16:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I've approved it as a Good Article. Congrats! Briancua 13:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Critical response

In the first paragraph of the Critical response section, one quote is attributed to two magazines. Could someone figure this out, please? Cricketgirl 04:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I've added the correct reference now. -- Underneath-it-All 14:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

FAC2 Comments

I have transcluded my comments from the recently closed FAC2. I had dealt with sections from the Lead to Commercial performance. The following could act as a copy editorial. Due to the FAC2 closure, I'm moving on to other articles.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:28, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Criterion 1a

Lead

1. The album became the longest project ever penned by Minogue since her success on the 1987's TV series Neighbours. This is confusing: it implies that Minogue wrote material for Neighbours in 1987.
2. in Techno , drum and bass, > in techno, drum and bass,
3. in which Minogue had assumed full creative control, contradicted earlier when five (or more) producers were listed (but no Minogue), see ¶1. If this is referring to the fact that she wrote all the lyrics then this is not the same as "full creative control".
4. constantly writing lyrics down in her Chelsea, London home 'constantly' is hyperbole: chose a better word; 'down' is superfluous.
5. were some of the examples of her feelings that were developed through her songwriter Confusing/awkward. Perhaps you mean provide examples of her feelings, which are displayed in her song writing
6. the image projected towards the album > the image projected by the album
7. Trim/break up the sentence starting with The album has ... for shipments of 70,000 copies.
8. in Minogue's native Australia > in Australia We've already established that she is an Australian artist.
9. In the UK, however > In the United Kingdom, however Use full name first time in Lead, first time in main text.
10. the UK following the death of 'following'? It was released in Japan two months after Diana's death, and some four or so months later in Europe (including UK). The way its written implies Diana died after this album was first issued and then its name was changed in the UK but not for the rest of Europe. Needs to be clarified.
11. Does the commercial disappointment of singles relate to Australia, UK or elsewhere?
12. but lacked chart progression what does this mean?
13. Critic's alike Clarify. Is the apostrophe needed?
14. recognized Use Australian English.
15. achieved worldwide domination tone down the hyperbole.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:00, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
16. Reduce overuse of frequent terms. e.g. "album" appears 22 times, "recognized" three times in two adjacent sentences, "single" three times in one sentence. Similar work reducing overused terms is required throughout the article.
17. as one of Kylie's greatest triumphs > as one of the artist's greatest triumphs or similar.21:10, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
18. Chronology of ¶4 is vague: try to straighten out when the tour was, when did critics re-evaluate its status from earlier "fraud-like" to "greatest triumphs".
19. Trim/re-word: The album's promotion was supported by the
20. For ease of readability, there should be a greater consistency in the size of paragraphs: especially ¶1 cf. ¶3. Trim the latter, expand the former. Some long sentences need to be broken up. This same sentiment applies to other text sections.22:52, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Background

1. When Minogue was at the brink of signing When? Try something like In late 1992, Minogue was at the brink of signing
2. progressed no musical direction or development over the years Unclear.
3. Although signed for three albums, Signed with Deconstruction or with PWL?
4. The album became her lowest charting studio album Which album? Try That final release for PWL became her lowest charting studio album or similar.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:29, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
5. in both Australia and the UK > in both Australia and the United Kingdom First mention of acronym in main text: subsequently use UK.
6. create the eponymous album > create her eponymous album in September 1994
7. Her first album not being yielded by production team > As her first album not by the production team of
8. , all who helped out with the album This appears to be redundant.
9. Trim Both Anderson and Brothers in Rhythm worked with Minogue previously, both working on her 1992 single "Finer Feelings". e.g. Both Anderson and Brothers in Rhythm had worked with Minogue previously – on her 1992 single, "Finer Feelings".
10. Clarify The album was originally to be penned earlier, but Deconstruction believed they were not heading the right direction so recorded seventeen new songs
11. It yelled three main singles; > It yielded three singles:
12. , and the album was successful in Australia and the UK > . The album achieved top 5 charting in Australia and the UK Greater precision.
13. Clarify Beside the album's core success, there was not headlining tour nor extensive promotion What is meant by 'core success'? Should 'not' be 'no'?
14. , a duet with > , as a duet with
15. The song's lyrics narrated > The lyrics narrate
16. since hearing "Better the Devil You Know", saying > since hearing "Better the Devil You Know" (April 1990), saying wL & context.
17. most successful single to date > most successful to date Redundant.
18. Trim Sweden, Finland and managed to get inside the top twenty > Sweden, and Finland; and inside the top twenty
19. and the United Kingdom > and the UK Acronym established earlier.
20. Trim The song also managed to achieve critical acclaim > It achieved critical acclaim
21. suggestion. She later Delete extra space.
22. began a relationship > began a personal relationship Specify.
23. on a mission of self-discovery Cliché.
24. Trim her to the work of musicians including

26. Delete by commenting at the end of that sentence.
27. for me." > for me". Use Australian English (commas and full stops appear after quote marks).shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:23, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Recording and production

1. Shouldn't recording and production occur after writing and composition? Seems non-chronological. Also, this is a huge first ¶: it needs to be broken up.
2. Consider file caption: was one of the main producers to the album (re: Bradfield) cf. content in first sentence: were chosen as the main producers (re: Brothers in Rhythm' duo). Both statements can't be true. From content in the rest of the article I'd delete this whole phrase re:Bradfield from the caption, leaving the information about his producing two tracks.
3. If a term has already been linked in the main text then delink it subsequently to reduce overlinking. This is a common problem in this article but I may not mention all instances; you will have to be vigilant in tracking them all down. e.g. change opening sentence to become: Brothers in Rhythm, a house music duo consisting of Steve Anderson and Dave Seaman,
4. Clarify She expressed that with the creative ability and good formula– shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:10, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

6. since her time on the Australian soap opera Neighbours specify, e.g. since her time acting in the Australian TV soap opera Neighbours (from 1986 to 1988)
7. Trim Anderson later explained that the album took a long time to record > Anderson later explained that its lengthy time was

11. say about it [Impossible Princess] is it > say about [Impossible Princess] is it
12. pleased with." > pleased with". If there are more of these, fix them too: I may not point out everyone of them.00:42, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
13. Recording sessions started in early 1996. cf. In 1995, Minogue and Brothers in Rhythm began recording rough demos... from ¶1. Inconsistency in chronology or description.
14. Trim The first song recorded for the album was with Anderson and Seaman at Real World which was entitled "You're The One", which was a song that did not make it on the album. Too long-winded and self-contradictory. Also fix track title "You're the One".
15. all which were delete "all"
16. "Limbo" again? Now recorded at Sarm West, previous sentence recorded at Box sessions. Clarify.
17. Avoid repetitive phrase (and incorrectly spelled this time) The next set of songs where

34. new album".
35. Trim was approved by him. > was approved.
36. Clarify and he wrote, composed and produced the entire song How was the entire song "produced" without any vocals by Minogue? Was it recorded by Bradfield as a demo with his own vocals? Did he provide all its instrumentation?
37. Fix expression till which she had re-wrote
38. Also, does Bradfield get co-credit for lyrics? or does he just get credit for music composition and co-production?02:48, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Writing and composition

1. See first point under 'Recording and production'.
2. ¶1: too big.
3. Minogue began writing lyrics for Impossible Princess in 1996 Contradicted by earlier content e.g. "In 1995, Minogue and Brothers in Rhythm began recording rough demos ... consisted of Minogue's lyrical ideas over various backing tracks"; also infobox has recording commencing in October 1995.
4. was constantly writing down words "constantly" is hyperbole.
5. but called them > but described them as
6. In an interview with Mag UK Similar problem to above, Mag UK is a publication, who was she interviewed by?
7. Is the transcript of the video prepared by you (or other wikipedia editor)? If so, it contains errors including "strangly" and "diary's" (for plural). If it is in an original printed form, which is not linked, then place a {{sic}} plate after each such error. It also has misquoted Minogue in a number of places.
8. At end of her quote: bad'".
9. For an interview with Hey Hey It's Saturday Similar problem to above. Interviewer is Richard Stubbs: name, describe & wL him. Check ref seems to have been disrupted.
10. Fix , She expressed
11. saying that she hated referring herself as the songwriter on her songs I think you may have missed the humour of her interchange with Stubbs. From my perspective Stubbs' phrase "Damn I hate that" and Kylie's "I can't blame anyone but ... myself for that ... I hate that too" were both said with irony. Kylie is self-deprecatory, and she is smiling/smirking almost giggling.
12. out".

16. Relationship with Bradfield and his group has already been established in a previous section. Not required here (unless you reorder the two sections – in which case it should be removed from whichever is the latter appearance).
17. ¶3 is too big.
18. Reword: became the first release to contain songs solely written by Minogue Did she write all the music too: or does this writing only refer to their lyrics? Or does it refer only to the small number of tracks for which she solely wrote both lyrics and music?
19. End sentence with she co-wrote with Bradfield. If not, fix to suit.
20. Clarify: with various producers Are all the co-writers also her producers?

36. Qualify: with creative control over the project Were their other controllers of the project's creativity? e.g. record producers, songwriters? Note: this is short of claim in Lead of "full creative control".
37. her mind, stating, > her mind,

39. telling Mixmag per previous comments about publications & authors.
40. rock."13:10, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Songs

1. ¶1: what can I say? This is huge! Divide it up (into 3 or 4), reduce long sentences, try to remove redundant/unnecessary detail. The latter point is especially relevant for tracks with their own articles.
2. Reduce usage of "songs", "album", "Minogue", "release" and other overused terms. (This should also be applied to other sections, including previous ones).
3. Reword: the first full-length written song by Minogue Why "full-length"?
4. Redundant: The song was composed by Minogue herself Given previous sentence, how is this new information?
5. Redundant: was noted as being Minogue's first ever song penned for an album and solely written by her Again? See previous sentences, it gets tiring reading the same information with slightly different wording. Choose one of them and go for it: the rest can be cut.
6. state." This'll be the last of these which I'll point out, but you still have to find and fix all the rest.

12. Deconstruction Records did not think Remove personification.
13. Note: this discussion contradicts claim in Lead that Minogue "had assumed full creative control". She is being told which lead single to issue and what is to be the B-side: clearly she does not have full control.
14. Trim: it would be a suitable single release and felt it was too risky, e.g. it would be suitable: it was too risky.

Unreleased material

1. ¶1: too small. Expand or combine with nearby content.
2. Note that the sub-Heading is "Unreleased material". If any tracks appear on live, compilation, re-release or bonus versions then they are not "unreleased". Considering the content of this section a different sub-Heading is needed.

Commercial performance

1. Exaggeration: proved to be an all-round success in Australia
2. AMR is not used for charting in 1998: only use ARIA Albums Chart.
3. Clarify: It became the highest debuting album and the only debut album on the chart for the week end 25 January 1998. Note: The Sundays' album, Static & Silence, is also a new entry into the top 50 for the week ending on 25 January 1998. However the ARIA albums chart is a top 100; neither Impossible Princess nor Static & Silence are debut albums; their entry position(s) into the top 100 are not available at the source cited: they may have entered earlier at a lower position in range, 50–100.

9. Poor expression: in compare to the, which stayed in for sixteen, was deemed Minogue's worst selling studio album to date due to a variety of reasons, the lack of devoted promotion with a tour, a benefit of low sales
10. criticized Australian English
11. Specify: [[Virgin Radio]], if UK Virgin Radio is meant then pipe link to [[Absolute Radio#1993.E2.80.931997: Virgin Radio launch and early years|UK Virgin Radio]], if not adjust as needed.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:55, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Chart perfomance

Thye article states: "It debuted at number 10 on the UK Albums Chart, making it Minogue's lowest charting debut in that region but the third highest debuting album of that week.[68]" However, this is obviously not true since Let's Get To It only peaked at #15, never mind where it debuted. It probably did sell less however, given its fewer weeks in the chart. Since this is a Good Article, I won't correct it, because its commercial performance is peppered throughout the article and I don't have time right now. It needs to be sorted to something like her lowest-selling album, but not her lowest-charting one.Tuzapicabit (talk) 13:05, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
