Alright I'll work on this soon. Never heard of this artist before this but can say they are very cool. 09:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Haha, I'm South African but only knew about her til last year. Have fun! dxneo (talk) 11:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

hhhhhh people are editing frequently, potentially unstable. also the song cerifications thing; what about Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Certifications? also when compared to metallica discography... ghhhhh

Other than that, on a surface level, images have appropriate rationale with captions. i'll try look some more into this // Chchcheckit (talk) 13:30, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Also, some references are inaccessible online or behind a paywall. Is it possible for you to quote the text from these sources when needed/applicable? i.e. Tyla's full name [from Hendricks 2021, "YOU chats to singer Tyla"] and birthday from this source? thanks // Chchcheckit (talk) 14:10, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: 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):
Overall: Pass/Fail:
· · ·

writing and prose

• Prose is pretty good: pending

Factual accuracy and references

• TBC

Coverage

• No mention of the 2023 Tyla EP in discography? [1][2] (Not needed; already mentioned)
• Artistry section appears to be somewhat lacking, as it primarily covers Tyla's influences (nothing bad with what is written there). I suggest using the Tyla album page and critic sources to refer back to an analysis of Tyla's musical style perhaps? This doesn't have to be major though.

Copyvio

• Images are tagged and captioned appropriately
• Earwig copyvio detector is mostly good, besides this comparison between an allafrica article from february 2024. I believe that the article took/copied from the wikipedia page rather than the article copying it. THAT BEING SAID: article should be removed as a citation for being Citogenesis. It is currently cited for the promotional singles "On and On" and "Butterflies"; are there any other sources that support them?

Chchcheckit, I find it difficult to address these issues as they are not clear. What's wrong with the discography? And about the self-titled EP, it is cited to this source. There's not much to say about it as it was included in the eponymous studio album. Can you format your requests into sections and point form so that I know where to look rather than have me wondering all over the article Thank you. dxneo (talk) 14:07, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

sorry my bad for being unclear. i have been there before. ill think of something but for now:

Coverage

• discography was mostly me getting confused. you are right. nevermind sorry
• Artistry section lists Tyla's influences whilst providing no commentary on what her artistry or style is.
• Artistry: "She has said that her dream is to become the first global pop star from Africa. She has since been deemed the "Queen of Popiano", after coining the term "popiano" which is a fusion of the pop and amapiano genres." is a relevant quote and is good, but reading this I don't actually know what her style is. I can and will elaborate on this point if you want to discuss this, though I don't want to editorialize

Copyvio

• allafrica citation is here: appears to have copied from wikipedia article, so citing it is circular reporting and should be removed with something else that supports the promo singles.

Thank you Chchcheckit, I have replaced the AllAfrica source and I'm ready to discuss and resolve the artistry issues. dxneo (talk) 15:44, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
