Comments from AJona1992
  • Is "following the under-performance" - really necessary? Also "first single" isn't that a lead single?
  • Too many sentences have the word "the song" - needs a variety
  • "charted" is not necessary, just start it off with "It peaked at number ..."
  • It also charted in Belgium and Switzerland. - and what were those peaks?
  • An accompanying music video ---> The single's accompanying music video ...
  • "portrays Houston and her girlfriends taking time out and spending time at spa and a club" - is missing two words
  • "the mini-concert" - sounds orish
  • "In an interview with entertainment website" - no need for "entertainment website"
  • "album: "One of Those Days" and "Dear John Letter"" - there's no need for a semi-colon. Try this Shek'speare and Reynolds penned three songs that day, two of which are featured on the album, "One of Those Days" and "Dear John Letter".
  • A 4-track CD single was released on the next day - (1) The way you start off this sentence weakens the prose (2) A CD single does not include 4 tracks, this sounds more like a maxi single if anything.
  • "an exclusive" - is orish
  • Houston begins the song by declaring her stress: "This is just for me [...] Got to take time out [...] You don't know what I'm going through." - is just a mess. Look at Amor Prohibido (song) for a better way of representing the lyrics.
  • "The German newspaper," is not necessary at all.
  • "the issue dated November 16, 2002" - remove
  • "the issue dated November 9, 2002" - remove
  • "the week dated January 4, 2003" - remove
  • Billboard charts are 13 days in advance. That's why we use issue dated and week ending. 15:47, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
  • "Houston performed the song as the opening number of the concert to a crowd of about 4000 people" - where's the comma for 4000?
  • "on December 10, 2002" - redundant, since you gave the date in the first sentence.
Reference checking
Billboard was acquired by Prometheus Global Media in 2009. I was told by some experienced editors that the publisher for all BB links, before 2009 should be Nielsen Business Media and after 2009 Prometheus. That's why they look different. Novice7 ( talk) 06:43, 1 January 2012 (UTC) reply
Comment from another editor
  • Nowhere in the WP:WIAGA does it say references must be consistent.

From Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not:

  • "Importantly, the GA criteria are a standard, not the opinion of individual reviewers."
  • (2) Factually accurate and verifiable
  • Mistakes to avoid (excerpted):
  • Requiring the use (or non-use) of citation templates.
  • Requiring consistently formatted, complete bibliographic citations. (If you are able to figure out what the source is, that's a good enough citation for GA.)

It's common sense. A "good article" does not need to have inconsistency, look at a few other experienced GAN reviewers and check out their reviews. Best, Jona yo! Selena 4 ever 15:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC) reply
Novice7 is right. Whatever he has done is 100% right and I bet on it. Billboard was acquired by Prometheus Global Media only in 2009. Jivesh1205 ( Talk) 15:39, 2 January 2012 (UTC) reply
And reference 4 is from Google Book, that is the physical copy ofBillboard. Jivesh1205 ( Talk) 15:42, 2 January 2012 (UTC) reply
