Picking out the oldest albums GAN; looks like I've become the main reviewer of these at this point! --K. Peake 09:37, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

  • Change recording beginning date as simply being 2007 since the body sources that it started in that very year
  • Remove the ref for studios from infobox because it is assumed by default they are sourced from liner notes
  • Because it is not mentioned in the prose, I keep it in the infobox.
  • It is reasonable for articles to not have the studio mentioned in the body since being in the infobox implies this is from liner notes --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The refs for singles should be used in the body instead for writing the release dates out there too, as these in infoboxes are discouraged
  •  Doing...
  • Remove wikilink on studio album
  • You should begin a second sentence with "It was released..." since three sentences is too short for a para really
  • "her debut studio album in 2007–2008," → "her eponymous debut studio album from 2007 to 2008,"
  • "features songwriting credits" → "features additional songwriting credits"
  • Wikilink Jon Rich to himself
  • It already does? Okay I see what you mean
  • "that music critics found appealing to a" → "that music critics found to be appealing to a"
  • It is not written out anywhere in the body that the album expands on its predecessor
  • Remove the word dynamic, as this is too much detail for the lead
  • "The album title refers to what Swift described as the" → "The album's title refers to the" because the "described" part is not notable here
  • "After the album's release, Swift embarked on the Fearless Tour," → "After the release of Fearless, Swift embarked on her tour of the same name,"
  •  Not done Pretty much the same
  • Too much usage of "the album", that is the problem. --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "top-ten entries:" → "top-10 entries:" per MOS:NUM
  •  Not done I spell out numbers throughout the articles, so per MOS:NUM it adheres to consistency ("ten", "forty", "twelve" etc.)
  • It does not adhere to consistency throughout the article, only for comparative values. --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apart from numbers as part of official chart names ("Mainstream Top 40" etc.) all numbers in the article (except for decimals) are spelt out for consistency. Ippantekina (talk) 07:31, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The critical reception and awards should be after singles instead
  •  Not done I followed the overall flow of the sections, and took notes from other FAs such as OK Computer
  • The commercial performance should be after critical reception in the body anyway --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • You should mention after the Billboard 200 that this was "alongside" reaching the top five in six other countries and give a few examples, also commercial info should be in the fourth para before ownership instead of reception there
  • Start a new sentence with "It was..." for the diamond certification
  • "by the Recording Industry Association of America. It received" → "in the US by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), as well as receiving"
  • "and the U.K." → "and the UK."
  •  Not done I use "U.K." throughout the article for consistency.
  • "With twelve million copies sold worldwide, it is" → "With 12 million copies sold worldwide, the album is"
  •  Not done Ditto with MOSNUM.
  • This is for millions though, so it is different. --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "on Fearless for" → "on the album for"
  • "The album won Album of the Year at the" → "It won Album of the Year at both the" mentioning what year these ceremonies were at the end of the sentence
  • "Fearless won" → "Fearless won the awards of"
  •  Not done Same meaning but I prefer fewer words.
  • But it is more than one award, so isn't the latter more appropriate? --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you sure "back catalog" is the correct term?

Background[edit]

  •  Not done First instance in the prose.
  • Pipe Sony/ATV Tree Publishing to Sony Music Publishing
  • "become a songwriter, and a" → "become a songwriter, followed by a" but the second contract being in 2005 or for country music is not sourced
  • The release date of her self-titled album needs to be mentioned; maybe add it with a connective after the production
  • The longest-charting album and country mostly being dominated by males statements are unsourced, also what is American Songwriter used for?
  • "with the album's third" → "with Fearless's third"
  • "To promote her debut album," → "To promote Taylor Swift,"
  • "for other country musicians including" → "for other country musicians, including"
  • Add a comma after George Strait
  • "on the road mostly by herself." → "mostly by herself on the road."
  • The temporary moments and writing anywhere possible parts are not sourced; if the latter can't be backed up, reword the prose before the quote
  • Billboard only mentions Liz Rose having worked with Swift on her first album and if the later collab is backed up by the CMT News ref, then invoke that after this sentence too
  • Wikilink John Rich to himself
  •  Done all. I was surprised with the amount of unsupported claims--I revamped the article from its first failed GAN without double-checking the references. Either way, I got it covered for this section now. Ippantekina (talk) 00:52, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Writing and production[edit]

  • "for her second studio album" → "for her second album" but it is not sourced that she conceived the idea after the song
  • Reworded. While it was not the first song she conceived, it did make her think about the album's direction. Ippantekina (talk) 00:55, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "while opening for" → "while touring with"
  • The symbolized part does not appear to be sourced
  • "Her songwriting was" → "Swift's songwriting was"
  • "of her debut album," → "of Taylor Swift," but where is the part about the reasoning behind her writing the songs sourced?
  •  Not done Can you clarify?
  • [17][18] should be after the colon instead
  • "On other songs," → "For other songs,"
  • "that the negative emotions on" → "that certain emotions on" but where is disappointment sourced?
  • "touring with George Strait." → "touring with Strait." but the parts about Chapman are not sourced
  • "rather than technical rigidity:" → "over their technical rigidity:"
  • "by and featuring Colbie Caillat" → "by and featuring Caillat"
  • "the collaboration: "[Swift] knows what she is doing."" → "the collaboration, saying "[Swift] knows what she is doing"." per MOS:QUOTE
  • "for her debut album, believing there were stories that deserved" → "for Taylor Swift, believing the stories deserved" but where is this sentence sourced?
  • She said "There are songs that I wrote when I was 13 that I think are perfect to bring out now. I didn't get a chance to put 'em on the record the first time around." Ippantekina (talk) 01:19, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "because she considered thirteen" → "because she considered the amount" to be less repetitive
  •  Not done "the amount" is not exactly what it is.
  • "Hillary Lindsey, and John Rich." → "Hillary Lindsey, and Rich."
  • "in October 2008 when" → "in October 2008, when"
  • "just before the album" → "shortly before Fearless"
  •  Not done The album title is discussed in the "Packaging" section; at this point it is undiscussed.
  • Not only is overusage of the album tedious, but you use Fearless earlier in this section anyway. --K. Peake 13:19, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Done all except where I responded. Ippantekina (talk) 01:19, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Composition[edit]

Lyrics[edit]

  • This sub-section should come after the music one
  • The current position justifies the flow from Writing to Lyrics.
  • That is a smooth flow of things actually --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Where is heartbreak sourced by [29] on the audio sample text?
  • Remove "Swift's debut album" before its title
  • "Fearless's prominent themes" → "Fearless' prominent themes"
  • Where is the life theme sourced?
  • In the Oakland Press "They're all about boys, relationships and feelings," she says, laughing. (With a few exceptions, that is, like the I-love-my-mom charmer "The Best Day.") "With a few exceptions" means she writes more than just love in general, and those are the things that happened in her life.
  • Oh, thanks for explaining that. --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think Swift's statement backs up the coming of age part
  • Added a more straightforward ref.
  • The info about "Fifteen" is not sourced
  • Whoops, a glitch. Replaced.
  • The cautioning of not to easily fall in love is unsourced
  • I checked the source and it was mentioned in an About.com ref, which I removed during the cleanup. Removed this part as well.
  • "that appeal to" → "that appeals to"
  • "starry-eyed romance, and" → "starry-eyed romance and"
  • Wikilink imagery
  • Wikilink as fairy tales per WP:PIPE
  • "is Swift's imagination" → "demonstrates Swift's vision"
  •  Not done that strays away from what Swift meant; "vision" is vague and broader in meaning than "imagination"
  • "she dances in "her best dress"" → "she is caught in her "best dress"" per the source
  • Nowhere does the source say the song is from Juliet's perspective
    • Added a source
  • "tragic conclusion with" → "failed conclusion with" or something similar, as tragic is not appropriate language when the source does not mention it
    • Replaced with a source where Swift explicitly says it was a tragedy
  • Invoke the Reuters review ref after the Rolling Stone one at the end of the "White Horse" contradiction sentence
  • The Prince Charming part is not sourced
  • "opened shows for Swift." → "opened shows for her."
  • "whose lyrics describe" → "which has lyrics describing"
  • "through a phone call." → "over the phone."
  • Only the love interest being out of reach is sourced in that sentence
  • "describe the protagonist as an ordinary girl "in sneakers", and" → "describing the protagonist as an ordinary girl "in sneakers" and" but only the high school part is sourced
  • That's weird because I copied the source from You Belong with Me, a GA. Surprised to see nowhere in the article is the high heels part. Revised with a different source.
  • "despite her current relationship with a decent" → "despite having since got together with a decent"
  • The AOL ref should be at the end of the apart from romance sentence too, but where is family love sourced?
  • "inspired by an" → "with inspiration from an"

Music[edit]

  • Since this section should be swapped with lyrics, any songs that are first wikilinked there should be here instead
  • Explained above.
  • Pipe crossover to Crossover music on the audio sample text
  • "featuring a banjo-led" → "containing a banjo-led" on the text
  • Pipe pop to Pop music
  • "which brings forth a crossover" → "with a crossover" with the pipe
  • The Pitchfork ref should be at the end of the more pop than country sentence too
  • "scattered throughout" → "that are scattered throughout"
  • Don't think the reviews from part is necessary when it's not used elsewhere
  • "that appeal to" → "that appeals to" but where is this appeal sourced?
  • "aspect is the personal lyrics, and" → "aspects are the personal lyrics and"
  • "combine elements of country," → "combined elements of the genre,"
  • "stood out among" → "stand out among"
  • "country music such as fiddle, banjo, mandolin," → "country music, such as fiddles, banjos, mandolins," but where is acoustic guitar sourced?
  • Pipe strings to String instrument
  • Pipe chorus to Refrain and where is any of this sourced apart from the structure?
  • In the Washington Post: "Here's how almost all of the songs on Fearless work: inviting verses, soaring choruses, a driving bridge, a final stripped-down verse and one last uber-chorus for the road" Ippantekina (talk) 08:17, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "demonstrated through tracks" → "demonstrated on tracks" but not all of these are sourced, nor is uptempo
  • Rolling Stone cited "Fearless", "Fifteen", "Change". Slant Magazine cited "Love Story", "Tell Me Why", "The Way I Loved You". The Washington Post cited "You Belong with Me" Ippantekina (talk) 08:17, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In "You Belong with Me"," → "On "You Belong with Me"," to be less repetitive with "in"
  • Pipe balladic to Sentimental ballad
  • "is the album's most" → "is Fearless' most"

Release and promotion[edit]

Packaging[edit]

  • "Swift named the album Fearless inspired" → "The album's name Fearless was inspired" but add a source that backs this up; you can use one of the ones from earlier
  • "All the songs" → "Swift said that all the songs"
  • Because Swift is the album's main writer, "Swift said" is pretty redundant
  • "was the album's booklet" → "was Fearless' booklet"
  • "from Swift's debut album" → "from Taylor Swift" but the source does not mention the tracks being from the album
  • The source does not say the reissue was North American
  • Pipe CD to Compact disc
  • "the CD feature" → "the CD features"
  • "comprised the music videos" → "comprises the music videos"
  • "behind-the-scenes videos for" → "behind-the-scenes footage for"
  • "behind-the-scene footage from" → "the same footage from"
  • Remove "American" before rock band because you haven't used it for other acts of this nationality like T-Pain here
  • The source does not specify that all songs are original apart from the cover

Marketing[edit]

  • The source on the img says nothing of media discussion
  • C/e'd to "media coverage".
  • "the track "Change" was made available in the" → ""Change" was made available via the"
  • "digital campaign through" → "digital campaign launched through"
  • ""Breathe" featuring Colbie Caillat," → ""Breathe" featuring Caillat," but add an additional source that mentions the feature
  • Pipe Rhapsody to Napster (streaming service)
  • "throughout late 2008. She performed on shows including" → "throughout late 2008, including on shows such as"
  • "aired on CMT November 7, 2008." → "aired via CMT on November 7, 2008."
  • "Her performances at awards shows" → "Her performances at awards shows that year"
  • "account to promote" → "account to promote Fearless' material" but the younger audience is not sourced, nor is the debut part
  • "with her debut album." → "with Taylor Swift."
  • Add a comma after Saturday Night Live
  • Introduce Kanye West as being an American rapper since the last person introduced is of a different nationality
  • Wikilink as internet memes per WP:PIPE
  • The media discussion part does not appear to be sourced
  • "released as singles." → "released as singles from Fearless."
  • Mention the release dates of all the singles, moving the sources in the infobox as of current
  • Wikilink lead single
  • "peaked Hot Country Songs," → "peaked at number one on the US Hot Country Songs chart,"
  • Pipe pop radio to Contemporary hit radio
  • "All four peaked within the top forty" → "All four of the singles peaked within the top 40" per MOS:NUM and because the release dates will lead to these singles not all being mentioned in the same sentence
  • Invoke the Hot 100 ref again in this area for the four remaining singles
  • "and within the top ten of the Hot Country Songs," → "and they all reached the top 10 of Hot Country Songs,"
  • "You Belong With Me" is not sourced as being a crossover success, only a hit

Touring[edit]

Commercial performance[edit]

  • Move this to being the section before legacy
  •  Not done I cited some examples above; it is smoother (in this case) that sales follow marketing, and legacy follows critical reception. Ippantekina (talk) 06:36, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "catapulting Swift to mainstream prominence beyond the Nashville country music scene." → "catapulting Swift from the Nashville country music scene to mainstream prominence."
  • "It debuted on the" → "It debuted atop the"
  • Shouldn't you mention after the copies "of which..." then write the amount that were digital as the source mentions?
  • Don't think it is really necessary.
  • "it registered the longest" → "the album registered the longest"
  • "and the longest" → "and became the longest"
  • "of the album's tracks (including" → "of the tracks (including ones"
  • "within the top forty" → "within the top 40" per MOS:NUM
  • "Change" being a promotional single is not notable at this point since it's only focused on what tracks went top ten
  • "sold 3.217 million copies throughout the year and became the best-selling album of 2009" → "had sold 3.217 million copies throughout the year and became its best-selling album"
  • "then twenty years old," → "then 20 years old,"
  • "It was the only album" → "The album became the only one" unless another has since done this, then use "first one"
  • "in the top ten of" → "in the top 10 of"
  • "fifty-eight weeks in the top ten," → "58 weeks in the top 10,"
  • "thirty-five weeks at" → "35 weeks at"
  • "for ten million units based on sales and stream." → "for 10 million units based on sales and streams in the U.S. on..." mentioning the date of the certification at the end
  • "marked Swift's first" → "also marked Swift's first"
  • [108] should be solely at the end of the sentence before [109]
  • "of albums charts" → "of the charts"
  • "in Ireland and the U.K." → "in Ireland and the U.K. by the..." mentioning the separate organizations and then adding, respectively afterwards
  • "in New Zealand," → "in New Zealand by Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ)," with the wikilink
  • "platinum in Canada," → "platinum in Canada by Music Canada," with the wikilink
  • "platinum in Australia." → "platinum in Australia by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA)." with the wikilink
  • "gold in Japan" → "gold in Japan by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ)," with the wikilink
  • "platinum in Singapore." → "platinum in Singapore by Recording Industry Association Singapore (RIAS)." with the wikilink
  • "twelve million copies were sold" → "12 million copies have been sold"
  • Add a source for the best-selling part; using Wiki itself is not sufficient
  • Per MOSNUM my choice to spell out numbers is consistent (except for numbers in chart names such as "Mainstream Top 40"). I choose not to include certification bodies because readers can know them from the table (except for the RIAA because it was certified diamond, a rare achievement). Other than those issues,  Done Ippantekina (talk) 10:27, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I beg to differ, as you should provide the names of the bodies here too since otherwise, it is unclear who awarded the certifications. --K. Peake 13:19, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception[edit]

  • The (published in 2008–2009) sub-heading is redundant since contemporary implies the reviews were around then
  • "received generally positive reviews" → "was met with generally positive reviews"
  • "based on reviews in" → "to reviews from"
  • "based on fourteen reviews." → "based on 14 reviews." per MOS:NUM
  • The source does not specify that many critics praised those things
  • "was an honest and vulnerable record that contrasted" → "is an honest and vulnerable record, contrasting"
  • "In his Consumer Guide," → "In his Consumer Guide for MSN Music," with the pipe and wikilink
  • "found Fearless's idealized notion" → "found the album's idealized notion"
  • Mention the name of the Slant Magazine reviewer
  • "it acknowledged the songs" → "he acknowledged the songs"
  • "praised Fearless's crossover" → "praised Fearless' crossover"
  • Use the surname of the AllMusic reviewer since they've already been introduced, while adding the full name of The Boston Globe one
  • "straddled the perceived" → "straddles the perceived"
  • "Jody Rosen hailed Swift" → "Rosen hailed Swift"
  • "were effective partly" → "are effective partly"
  • Pipe rockism to Rockism and poptimism
  • NOTBROKEN as mentioned.
  • Introduce The Washington Post reviewer by name
  • "the overall production was repetitive." → "the production is repetitive overall."
  • "Slant Magazine noted that Swift was not a capable" → "Keefe noted Swift as not being a capable"
  • "Alexis Petridis, reviewing Fearless for the British newspaper" → "Petridis, reviewing Fearless for" and also remove wikilink on The Guardian
  • "found the American press's praise" → "labeled the American press' praise"
  • "Another British magazine," → "Similarly, a writer for" unless you know their name, also remove the comma after Q
  • Apart from MOS:'S, I choose to reintroduce full names of reviewers here because the read from the first instances where they were mentioned (in "Composition") is pretty lengthy. Otherwise,  Done Ippantekina (talk) 10:44, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accolades[edit]

  • Sure you can't find any year-end rankings to add here?
  • "Album of the Year at" → "Album of the Year at both"
  • [130] should be solely at the end of the sentence before [131]
  • "It also won Top Selling Album from" → "The album was also awarded Top Selling Album by"
  • Add CCMA in brackets after Canadian Country Music Association
  • Pipe Teen Choice Award to Teen Choice Awards
  • "then twenty years old," → "then 20 years old," per MOS:NUM
  • "at the Grammy" → "at the Grammy,"
  • "CMA and ACM Awards" → "CMA, and ACM Awards"
  • "The single "White Horse" won two" → ""White Horse" won the"

Legacy[edit]

  • "Fearless has endured" → "Fearless [...] has endured" on the quote box, per different context from the source
  • "Fearless's critical and" → "Fearless' critical and"
  • Remove commas around 1989
  • "Jody Rosen, in a" → "Rosen, in a"
  • The narrative being established is sourced, but the confessional style is not
  • Where does the source reference how she is presented as a capable musician?
    • Wilson wrote "Part of the reason it was fairer to call Swift’s work diaristic than that of many of her contemporaries is that, like a journal, her songs seemed written partly for posterity" and discussed how it proved her songs aged well. Ippantekina (talk) 11:50, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "that amidst other sexualized" → "that amidst sexualized"
  • "to its themes of" → "to the themes of"
    • "its" is more specific.
  • Begin the following sentence with the album's title rather than it then, to avoid using the term in a repetitive way. --K. Peake 13:19, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove wikilink on NPR
  • "with talent manager" → "between her and talent manager"
  • Pipe masters to Mastering (audio)
  • The source does not mention Swift having previously tried to buy the masters
  • Remove pipe on re-recording
    • Why? It is not OVERLINK
  • I don't think this pipe is necessary and why is it done on the second occasion anyway? --K. Peake 13:19, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The link to re-recording offers some useful information; I link it in the second instance because it's supposed to be a noun and not a verb. Ippantekina (talk) 14:37, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "feature all tracks" → "features all tracks" though the Platinum Edition and Valentine's Day parts are not sourced
  • "Fearless reappeared on" → "the original reappeared on"
  • "of the original and" → "of it and"
  • "new peak at number two" → "new peaks of number two"

Track listing[edit]

  • Trey Fanjoy → Fanjoy, on the second video
  • Tommy Lee James is not listed as a writer on the original "Untouchable"
    • I don't have the album, but Discogs say James wrote "Untouchable" and some other songs on the album as well.

Personnel[edit]

Charts[edit]

Weekly charts[edit]

Year-end charts[edit]

  • This should be aligned to the right, above decade-end and all-time ones, as that area only has three tables very far down currently

Decade-end charts[edit]

  • Good

All-time charts[edit]

  • Good

Certifications and sales[edit]

  • Sales certifications for → Sales and certifications for

  • @Kyle Peake: Hello, thanks for the review. This will take quite a few days to resolve. I have some preliminary comments. According to WP:OVERLINK duplinks in references are acceptable (as are in tables, image captions etc.) I think you also raised the OVERLINK issue for references in other GANs of mine (i.e. "London Boy"). Should you take this into consideration for this GAN, as well as the next GANs? Ippantekina (talk) 00:39, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I do vaguely recall the overlink problem popping up before but I must have forgot... the same reasoning from you applies here since this being an album article does not make a difference to MOS for linking. --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was also advised at the "I Knew You Were Trouble" FAC that websites generally should be italicized with no exception. Per WP:MOSTITLE (in the notes): "Do not abuse incorrect template parameters (e.g. by putting the work title in |publisher= or |via=) in an attempt to avoid italicizing digital sources." That's why I italicized digital sources such as CMT News or MTV News. Ippantekina (talk) 00:44, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do kind of understand where you are coming from, but why do some use publisher currently then? --K. Peake 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • For music charts/certification providers, they are not digital news sources so I use publisher. For digital news sources i.e. BBC News, I italicize them according to the MOS cited. Ippantekina (talk) 00:31, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done all except where I responded. Ippantekina (talk) 01:48, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments and verdict[edit]

  •  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; there is a lot of original research that I have pointed out but hopefully you can back this content up properly! --K. Peake 11:07, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello, I have addressed all of your comments per above. Thank you for reviewing the article. Ippantekina (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for your response; I have gone over where concerns still remain for me. --K. Peake 13:19, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Done all except the re-recording part which I explained above. Ippantekina (talk) 14:39, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ippantekina The only points I now have to make are that you should fix the overusage of the album in the lead, change twelve million to 12 million, write "of Taylor Swift" in the writing/production section because her debut album has not yet been mentioned in that section and write "shortly before Fearless" in the other section per my previous reasoning. --K. Peake 07:57, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Twelve million still satisfies MOSNUM consistency (there are examples where million figures are spelt out). Otherwise all set. Ippantekina (talk) 10:11, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ippantekina ✓ Pass now, though I added the title of the album to the first sentence of the lead's third para since even though all the first sentences may contain it, the title is not always the first word so there's no real issues with repetition. --K. Peake 11:49, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
