GA Review[edit]

Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 01:56, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox[edit]

An alt needs to be provided for the cover image
Stay consistent with your format of the flatlists
Remove the red links for "Nunca es Suficiente" and "Lo Que Construimos"

Lead[edit]

Paragraph 1[edit]

State that "Down to the Root" in English, like "(English: Down to the Root)"
Add ", recorded for her studio album, Hasta la Raíz (2015)."

Paragraph 2[edit]

Expand this paragraph

Background[edit]

The first sentence is kind of long, but I don't really see how you could shorten it
Remove '(Mexico)'; it's not necessary in the context
Change 'seven' to 'six' years

Writing and recording[edit]

Paragraph 1[edit]

Link 'Mexico'
The sentence that starts with "While recording demos..." is too long and includes too many clauses

Paragraph 2[edit]

The lead sentence could be shortened; you don't have to include how they became friends during the recording process
Add an author to the Billboard source if available

Critical and commercial reception[edit]

Separate these into two separate paragraphs; one for critical reception and another for commercial reception

Paragraph 1[edit]

Change the lead sentence to "Upon its release, "Hasta la Raíz" received positive reviews from music critics."
Change 'coincident' to 'in agreement'

Paragraph 2[edit]

Remove the link to "Nunca Es Suficiente"
Move each source in the second sentence to its respective statement (after each comma)

Music video[edit]

Try adding a photo of the music video
Perhaps, add a small description of the music video as well

Track listing[edit]

Remove the 'Writer(s)' and 'Producer(s)' section in the track listing; you've already labeled this information in the infobox above

Credits and personnel[edit]

Remove the ';' from each credit
Use proper n dashes instead of hyphens

References[edit]

[6] - Link iTunes store
[8] - Link Discogs
[12] - Link Billboard
[13] - Use a proper n dash
[13] - Link Spotify
[14] - Remove one of the 'Coffee and Saturday' inclusions

End of GA Review:[edit]

Another good article, but definitely needs some work before passing GA status. I will put the article on hold until problems and addressed and corrections are made. Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 21:27, 5 March 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Background[edit]

This first sentence is still extremely long; can you try to condense it?

FIXED. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Add an apostrophe s after Agustín Lara

FIXED. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Writing and recording[edit]

Paragraph 1[edit]

"were similar from her previous albums..." → "were too similar compared to her previous albums..."

FIXED. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception[edit]

I know I said to say "upon", but "After" would sound better with the current tense

FIXED. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial reception[edit]

"was released as the first promotional single from the..." → "was released as a promotional single from the..."

FIXED. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing[edit]

You only include the download for a version called "Canova's Root"; is there a normal download for the album version/single version?

There used to be one, on iTunes, but after the relase of the whole album, the single download is no longer available as a "single". Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

End of GA Review:[edit]

Overall, a very good article. Most of these comments are regarding tense/grammar. Once fixed, the article will surely pass. Thanks again! Carbrera (talk) 22:40, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
