GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   The quote in the opening paragraph of the "Writing and composition" section is far too large (see MOS:QUOTE). Try writing some Champion's quote in your own words if you can, or resort to using <blockquote></blockquote> Under the same section, the sentence "Martin also sings about the sun coming out one day" isn't clear. What does this mean?.

   I added the blockquote and I removed the "sun coming out one day" sentence.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Under "Release and reception", the dates of each peak position isn't necessarily relevant.

   Done.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   "…chiming guitars and soaring choruses." I think this can be argued that it's not a neutral point of view, considering this comes from a review. "…it builds into a rhythmically soaring…" Same concern as before. Under "Release and reception", there seems to be nothing but positive reviews for the song. I'm sure there's also negative reviews, or at least criticism of the song.

   I fixed the guitar thing, as for the "critical" stuff, critics actually enjoyed the song, believe me, if they were negative towards it, I would have added something.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   File:Lovers in Japan.jpg does not comply with fair use; the single cover should be no larger than 300 px on one side. Also, what does File:Loversinjapan.jpg illustrate? With its current caption, it doesn't enhance the understanding for the reader and the reader won't loss significant knowledge without it.

   Personally, I don't like the image in the Music video section, it's nothing of a significance, IMO. Also, I've uploaded a lower resolution for the infobox image. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
