Vanilla Chocolat contains only the "Live Performance and criticism" from http://surf.selekweb.com/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9DaGVycnlfUG9w, because Cherry Pop and Vanilla Chocolat were performed together on Vocea Romaniei.

  • That page is a mirror of our article on Cherry Pop anyway, so no copyvio. CrowCaw 19:18, 7 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Comments edit

Hi Cartoon network freak. I prefer to leave comments, which you requested, on the article talk page. Here are some:

  • Titles of songs should have double quote marks, while albums should be in italics. I've done it myself, already. See MOS:QUOTEMARKS. --Efe (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  Done
  • The inline citations on non controversial information in the lead may be removed. Please ensure however that the same information is found in the main body and is properly cited. See WP:LEADCITE. --Efe (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  Done
  • I suggest that you incorporate the blockquotes to the main prose. There's is an imbalance, having huge quotes and leaving the main prose with almost nothing. --Efe (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  Done
  • There's no discussion of the musical aspect of the song, therefore ensure that the use of "audio" from a copyrighted work is fair. Per Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria#8, "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." --Efe (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  Done
  • The line "They also praised the music video, calling it "very creative" and "highly recommended", noting that it keeps in line with the "selfie trend"." should be under the section "Music video". The critical response section should be for the song only. --Efe (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  Done
  • For names of websites or anything without an article in Wikipedia, I suggest that they should be identified as such. --Efe (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
  Not done What do you mean?   Done
Please disregard. I think adding .com will suffice. --Efe (talk) 11:49, 5 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

These are my comments, for now. --Efe (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Efe: What do you mean with the last sentence? --Cartoon network freak (talk) 19:33, 10 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

GA Review edit

This review is transcluded from Talk:Vanilla Chocolat/GA3. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Carbrera (talk · contribs) 01:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Reply


Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 01:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Infobox edit

  • What do you mean by "being vanilla-coloured" in the alt box? Could this possibly be reworded?
  • Remove the flat list from the genre; there's only one genre listed
  • Remove the flat list form the producer; there's only one producer listed

Lead edit

  • Remove the space before the link to Romanian
  • Change 'sophomore' to 'second'
  • Remove the reference as you do not need one in the lead
  • Remove 'herself' from the listing of writers involved with the track
  • Remove 'alone' from the listing of writers involved with the track
  • Remove the mention of 5 million views for the music video
  • Remove the video comparison to "Selfie en Paris"
  • Change 'Everything Express' into 'Musical critics'
  • Change 'Hitfire' to 'others'
  • Again, remove the reference
  • Overall, I feel this lead could be significantly reworded

Background and recording edit

  • Remove the second 's' in '26-seconds' in the description of the included audio
  • Again, remove 'herself' and 'alone' from the first sentence
  • Remove 'the' immediately before 'Fonogram Studios'
  • The reftitle is a bit too long for the source after "like on [her] second studio album."
  • I think 'commended' sounds like a weird word choice since she's describing her own song

Critical response edit

  • I think this section should be renamed 'Critical reception'
  • Include a topic sentence, stating that the song received generally positive reviews upon release
  • You list two completely different sources for the same quote, so this needs to be fixed and/or removed
  • You keep using 'they', but not clarifying who 'they' is
  • The '[...]' in the quotes needs to be formatted correctly to Wikipedia standards
  • Possible expansion of this section would be appreciated as well

Live performances edit

  • This should be moved below 'Music video'
  • Combine the first two sentences
  • Combine the sentences discussing her performances on Pro FM radio
  • Italicize 'The Voice'
  • Again, Italicize 'The Voice' or replace with 'the program'

Music video edit

  • Add a space before 'A selfie video...'
  • Link 'selfie' in the lead sentence
  • Combine the sentences discussing some of the television shows she filmed the video on
  • The reftitle could be shortened perhaps in the source involving plagiarism accusations
  • The last sentence doesn't seem too necessary; if you want to keep it, I'd suggest adding more video reviews/reception towards the video

Credits and personnel edit

  • Looks good!

Track listings edit

  • The Spanish/Turkish/Polish download box needs to have proper spaces used

References edit

  • Primarily, a template needs to be added to the article since one is available
  • [11] - Unlink YouTube
  • [12] - Unlink YouTube
  • [16] - Unlink YouTube
  • [21] - Link iTunes store

End of GA Review: edit

Good article, but it definitely needs to be put on hold for now. There are mistakes that need to be visited before GA consideration. Gimme a holler when any updating has taken place. Carbrera (talk) 01:07, 5 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Carbrera, I've adressed everything above besides the expansion of some of the article's topics, as I couldn't find any other reliable source out there. Thanks!   Cartoon network freak (talk) 13:49, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
I think this article is probably one of the better ones out there when it comes to Alexandra Stan-related topics. Thanks for your contributions to the article and your cooperation. Carbrera (talk) 15:32, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
