Comments from AJona1992
  • Infobox: "Release" needs a {{start date}} template
    • Done
  • Infobox: "Length" needs a {{duration}} template
    • Done
  • Infobox: "Recorded" remove all recording sessions and just give the date and unlink United States
    • Done
  • "massive success" - is orish
    • Changed to 'considerable' - does that work?
  • Released as the second single from MercyMe's 2002 album Spoken For, "Word of God Speak" attained massive success on Christian radio, spending twenty-three weeks atop the Christian Songs chart, a record for that chart; it spent a total of seventy-six weeks on that chart - Ummm where's the period?
    • I see a period at the end.
  • There are too many sentences with the word "the song" - needs a variety
    • Done, I think
  • If FN#1 covers the first para then only added at the end of the first para instead of having it at every period as well as for FN#2
    • Done
  • Why do readers need to know about "Spoken For"? This article is about "Word of God Speak"
    • Typo on my part - corrected
  • Wikilink key, beats per minute, vocal range
    • Done
  • "and has a tempo" - whats the tempo? Is it a downtempo, mid-tempo, moderate tempo, or an up-tempo?
    • Not sure how to add that without inserting OR - the only thing given in the source is a tempo, along with a bizarre and probably non-applicable description of it
  • "The music to "Word of God Speak" is simple," - is orish and violates WP:NPOV
    • Changed to 'stripped down', per the source
  • "which reflect on the idea that it is impossible to speak of an infinite God with a limited vocabulary." - is in the lead, so this sentence should not be the same (re-write the lyrical content in another way)
    • Adjusted
  • Spoken For (is wikilinked twice)
    • Fixed
  • I am guessing that Russ Breimeier was the author of "prayer and worship are not flowery orations", please give credits to Breimeier in the previous section
    • Done
  • "had tremendous success as a single" - another orish and violation of WP:NPOV sentence
    • Removed
  • Too many sentences has "on the chart" - needs a variety
    • Done
  • For "Charts" only wikilink publications and charts once
    • Done
  • File:Mercyme icanonlyimagine.jpg needs a better rational to comply with WP:NFCC. See File:Amorprohibidosingle.jpg as an example
    • Fixed
  • Please fix these concerns before I do a spotcheck and a reference check. Happy holidays, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 03:18, 27 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Reference checking
  • FN#1, FN#3 Crosswalk.com does not need to be in italics
    • Done
  • FN#2 use "pp" for "pages" (similar to FN#4)
    • Done
  • FN#5 About.com does not need to be in italics
    • Done
  • FN#7 Mikecurb.com does not need to be in italics
    • Done

  • What makes this? a reliable source?
    • For one, I used it on my GA "I Can Only Imagine" - the 'Track listing' section is copied over from that page, as "Word of God Speak" is "Imagine"'s A-side. I don't see why it doesn't work for this.
  • FN#17, FN#18 the work is iTunes Store not iTunes
    • Done
  • Sorry for the late review. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 15:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
