I am nominating this for featured list because... I think it meets criteria. Based on many FL's of the same structure. Little Mix have released three albums with a lot of material.  — Calvin999 12:19, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from SNUGGUMS
  • "The" should be added to "British girl group Little Mix have recorded songs" per UK English standards
  • "their winners single" is missing an apostrophe
  • "however it was noted for its sexualised tone"..... I feel "though" would be a better word than "however" in this instance
  • "performed by Drake; Drake, along with the songs other composers Noah "40" Shebib, Majid Al Maskati, Jordan Ullman and Anthony Jeffries, received songwriting credits as a result"..... it seems repetitive to use the word "Drake" twice consecutively
  • For File:Missy Elliot.jpg, I'd add an "is" after "Missy Elliot" in the caption

Overall, a very good list. Snuggums (talk / edits) 17:54, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I've corrected all points.  — Calvin999 17:56, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can now gladly support. Well done. Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:01, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.  — Calvin999 18:01, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by FrB.TG
  • The lead is rather long for a band with only three albums. I would wonder what happens if they release further materials. To shorten it, you could probably remove reviews and quotes from the lead. And I think you don't need to go into very much detail of describing their work.
    • Can cross that bridge when or if they release another album. When, because they've only just released their third and a fourth might be two or three years off from now. If, because they've been together nearly 5 years, and bands have short shelf-lives. I only refer to a couple of songs from each album as it is anyway, so it's not hugely detailed on purpose.  — Calvin999
  • "described by Digital Spy writer Lewis Corner as setting up their new urban creative direction "nicely."" – how is this quote helpful?
    • Because they had said that their second album would be more R&B-inspired, and that "Move" proved to be taking them into that direction successfully.  — Calvin999
  • ""A.D.I.D.A.S." is an acronym for "All Day I Dream About Sex" and alludes" – you could probably start the sentence with something like "its track" so that readers know that it is a track from the album.
  • ""A.D.I.D.A.S." contains a elements of "Hold On, We're Going Home" by Drake"
  • Just a personal opinion: could you expand the size of the image (as they can not be seen properly) or change it, if the former is not possible.
    • I don't think I can increase the size.  — Calvin999
  • "Originating album" should just say "Album".
  • There is no track beginning with letters, such as "F", "J" and "K" so I think you should probably remove these letters from the table of content.
  • The reference column does not need to be sortable.
  • Please maintain consistency with linking the publishers of references: either link them on their first occurrences or link them everywhere.

Nice work overall. -- Frankie talk 15:29, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.  — Calvin999 16:18, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • becoming the first group to do so
  • had originally entered
  • "but were put together to make a quartet..." I think this could be worded better, something like but were placed together in a quartet
  • I don't think we need to know that their first single had a "gothic feel" to it. Seems superflous to me
    • I'm describing the track, so the style is linked to the lyrical content.  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Commas after member and Roberts
  • You don't need to use had before words like originally and previously, the past tense is implied by these words
  • My biggest concern is that the lead is too long. As the group are still active and likely to record new material, how are you going to work this in? Four paragraphs for a group that has released three albums and only been active since 2011 is a bit excessive. I would trim it down to what's necessary
    • I've had this comment above I think. Yes they might release another album, but when? It could be in 2 years time. I don't think we should be focusing on what hasn't even happened and it shouldn't be a factor that influences this nomination, as it's raising an issue which isn't even issue and doesn't exist. If and when they release another album, then something can be done then. As it stands, I only talk about a couple of songs from each album anyway, so I think it is quite short.  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The table shouldn't change when sorting it by song initially. Currently, A.D.I.D.A.S. moves down the table, when it should stay at the top
    • It sorts as Adidas, without full stops. Unless you think it short sort as A.D ?  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • ref 6, there's no need to archive it as the original link still works, especially when the archive one doesn't load.
    • What happens when the link becomes dead and I can't use the source anymore to archive it?  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • ref 7, should be an en dash
  • ref 14, it's The Daily Telegraph not The Telegraph
  • ref 17, needs an en dash, as does ref 19, Independent is spelt wrong as well in that ref

    • Addressed all. Thank you.  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Famous Hobo

Overall, looks very good. I was also concerned about the length at first, but since they just released a new album, I doubt they'll be doing anything for a while. The length is fine for now. I made two edits to the article, which I originally had written down as issues that needed to be fixed, but when you look at the actual edit, they're very small (one word was missing an apostrophe, while The Daily Telegraph in ref 14 wasn't fixed earlier). Anyway, I support, nice list as always. Famous Hobo (talk) 04:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source check
  • You do no need to cite sources for the release dates of their albums in the lead.
  • You're kind of spotty as to when you're adding the publisher of publisher in refs; you have done it only in one ref (6, Hearst Corporation). It's not a big deal, but you should be consistent.
  • Consider archiving the online references you haven't already so that linkrot doesn't mess up your references, thereby unciting content or causing you extra work later on. -- Frankie talk 19:01, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks. I don't know how to archive URLs, can you link it to me please FrB.TG?  — Calvin999 09:36, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You do not need to archive them. It's just a suggestion. Here is how you archive a source: visit [2] and enter the link you wish to archive them. You can either archive with the existing ones (if they exist) or create one yourself. Anyway, source check passed. -- Frankie talk 14:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Full disclosure: I am a WIki Cup participant and I also have a Feature Article (CMLL World Heavyweight Championship) and Feature List (Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship) candidates in need of input. Not that it's a factor in my review but it would be appreciated

Lead

  • "Latin inspired" = "Latin-inspired"
  • "its composition, while lyrically" - I don't think you need the comma?

Table
Sorts correctly, formatted well, no problems there

I only have a few nitpicky comments overall it's a really good list.  MPJ-US  11:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate comment: Calvin999, are you planning to come back to this? MPJ-DK's comments have been sitting for a while, and they're about the only thing holding up this nomination. The other thing: NapHit, are you concluded with your review? It's unclear if you ever saw the response to your review. --PresN 20:01, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry yes I've done them PresN.  — Calvin999 21:11, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oops! Sorry guys, I completely forgot about this, looks like my comments have been addressed, so I'm happy to support 21:57, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
(Note- the above was NapHit. Also: @MPJ-DK:). --PresN 15:40, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Totally missed that my comments had been addressed, sorry. Support  MPJ-US  17:30, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
