Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked   are unassessed

Infobox and lede edit

  • "complementary" → "complimentary"
  • "West and Kid Cudi first performed the song live"

Background and development edit

  • "he was told by him" is a bit confusing
  •   Done I used "the rapper" because "Cudi" would've been too repetitive --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Kid Cudi has been believed to have directly influenced the album's creation by who?
  • Does not directly say who, so I just added "often" if this is ok? --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Comma after "and have a family"
  • "but has not done so up to this point because of numerous reasons in his life" → "but numerous reasons in his life have kept him from doing so"
  • Italics around OTHERtone per MOS:ITALICTITLE (a podcast qualifies as a major work, see My Favorite Murder and Reply All (podcast)
  •   Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Composition and lyrics edit

Release and reception edit

  • "that despite the song's music video being released on February 18, 2009," → "that, despite a music video being released for the song on February 18,"
  •   Partly done I kept the release year because the previous one mentioned was 2008, so it would be confusing otherwise --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "was thankful of Kid Cudi's "anxious cooing" on the song for serving as "a perfect counter"" → "was thankful for Kid Cudi's "anxious cooing" on the song, which served as "a perfect counter""
  •   Partly done I used "serves" instead for the correct tense --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • capitalize Auto-Tune when not a direct quote, for consistency with previous section
  • Are you sure about this, as I picked up changing the capitalisation after the first mention from 808s & Heartbreak? --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "it became "has horribly ubiquitous"" → "it has become "horribly ubiquitous""
  •   Done don't know how I made this silly mistake --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Music video edit

  • Split the second sentence into two to avoid having multiple "and" clauses
  • "Simultaneously with the release, West revealed through the blog" → "In a blog post accompanying the video, West revealed"
  •   Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "and that he was 'forced'"
  •   Done but remove "that" from earlier in the sentence to avoid overusage --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "West was referring to the technique employed within American synth-pop band Chairlift's Ray Tintori–directed visual for "Evident Utensil";" → "West was referring to the video for American synth-pop band Chairlift's "Evident Utensil", directed by Ray Tintori."
  • "Nabil dubbed it as "data moshing" in an MTV news interview on February 18, 2009. He further pointed out..." → "In an MTV News interview on February 18, 2009, Nabil dubbed the technique "data moshing", and cited Takeshi Murata as the most notable artist to use the technique"
  • "While explaining it was used by him" → "While explaining that he used data moshing"
  • "more of a strategic way" than what?
  • "Nabil said because of differing parts" → "Nabil said that, due to differing parts"
  • "it was of his desire"
  •   Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • going on to state he was assured the song required a music video. Not sure what this means.
  • Reworded, how's this look? --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "reinstated" → "restated"
  • "the creation [of the video?] in New York"
  • "The music video utilizes the data moshing technique for pixelating that is applied to West" → "The music video applies the data moshing technique of pixelation to West"
  • Data moshing is used with and without a hyphen across this section. No preference for either, just consistency.
  •   Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Mysterious ] bracket in the Stereogum quote
  •   Done, must have accidentally added that when using [] for paraphrasing at the start of the quote --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Live performances edit

  • The latter of the two's appearance was met with applause before he began to perform, while West introduced him. Setup is a bit confusing, mostly for the "latter of the two" phrasing, which is implied if West is the one introducing him
  • Specify that Baller Status is a publication and not, say, an award
  • I feel as if an introduction to the publication would lack focus, so I just changed to "writing for" if that's acceptable? --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "him and Kid Cudi" → "he and Kid Cudi"
  • If the album is being played in its entirely, it is implied that the setlist will follow the album's tracklist
  • "During the first concert that they were billed as Kids See Ghosts" → "In their first concert under the Kids See Ghosts name"
  •   Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "While it stood as the ninth track of their set, the song was the second track the duo performed that was not a Kids See Ghosts release." → "The ninth track of their set, the song followed set opener "Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1" as the second track that was not a Kids See Ghosts release."
  •   Not done because it lacks focus to mention that song by name, plus it reads weirdly saying it followed it despite being seven places later --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • All AV media is relevant and labeled correctly.

Final comments and verdict edit

Strong first showing! Just needs some cleanup for confusing sentences. I'll put the article   On hold for now, and feel free to ping me if you have any questions! Kncny11 (shoot) 19:41, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Kncny11 Thank you for the review, I have fixed the majority of the changes and left a few questions for you above! --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Kyle Peake Everything looks good now! The questions you left about wording all check out, and I think that this is ready to promote! Kncny11 (shoot) 17:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Kncny11 Very good to know that I have achieved a pass with this article; however, you forgot to check the first three criterion off in the progress box. --K. Peake 17:49, 13 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Kyle Peake Whoops, that's the ADHD! All fixed :) Kncny11 (shoot) 17:50, 13 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
