This is the version checked

Well-written: Fail

• The lead needs to summarise the whole article, it doesn't as parts 'her third consecutive top twenty hit' are not in the article nor are point coverage in the infobox 'released' where no prose is found.
• The background section is missing much of the lead 'from her second studio album' would naturally have coverage here but it is missing.
• The music sample would logically go in a 'Music composition' section rather then critical review.
• Swizerland is a mispelling.

Factually accurate and verifiable: Fail

• Missing WP:RS for release date, B-side, Genre, Label, single etc Missing for track listings and credits sections.
• The billboard link contains nothings about a Eurochart.

Broad in its coverage: Pass

• Nothing appears missing although not much depth in places.

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias: Pass

• I believe that the article is presented in a neutral tone.

Stable: it does not change significantly from day-to-day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute: Pass

• The article is stable and there is a little edit-warring.

Illustrated, if possible, by images:

• No alternative text

May I ask why was 22 (song) failed if I didn't even get a chance to fix the problems? I am supposed to be given 7 days. -- 12345abcxyz20082009 ( talk) 11:58, 10 March 2010 (UTC) reply

It fails part 3 of the "quick-fail criteria" of How to review an article, having many unreferenced parts. As Does an article have to be on hold only for 7 days? says "No" and "GA aims to achieve the best outcome for the encyclopedia using the reviewing resources available.", as you likely know there is quite a backlog and I don't see it productive use of 'reviewing resources' working through an article that is quite some way from passing GA. Regards, SunCreator ( talk) 13:38, 10 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Although I disagree with the quick fail, I must say the article doesn't meet the GA criteria and SunCreator raises some valid points, though alt text isn't required for GA. I'd suggest you work on these issues, which would likely take more than a week to fix anyway, and renominate it when it's ready. I'd be happy to give it a fast track review when these issues have been fixed. I;d suggest taking a look at The Climb (song) to give you some idea of what a song GA looks like.

Technically speaking from Good article criteria section (b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines and the alt text guideline is a part of Wikipedia:Manual of Style. While I wouldn't view lack of alt text as a GA failure, pointing it out as an issue is appropriate. Regards, SunCreator ( talk) 13:51, 10 March 2010 (UTC) reply

I appreciate your response. Personally, I'd say, it would have done no harm to have left it on hold for a week or so, but the decision is entirely up to the reviewer so it's nothing against you. As for the alt, pointing out an issue certainly is appropriate and I'm glad you took the time to provide a review and for the MoS, the criterion says "...for lead sections, layout, jargon, words to avoid, fiction, and list incorporation", of which ALT is not a part, but that's a technicality.

As I said above, I'd be happy to provide a fast-track review should it be renominated after the issues have been addressed since there's no doubting it doesn't yet meet the criteria. Of course, I'll defer to you if you want to review it yourself if/when it's renominated and the issues fixed. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:09, 10 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Good point on the MOS criterion, I hadn't thought about that. Regards, SunCreator ( talk) 16:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC) reply
