Reviewer: MarioSoulTruthFan (talk · contribs) 19:11, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox[edit]

Genres: Apala → if it is inspiration then its not a genre.
Recorded 2017–2018 → source?

Done. I removed Apala and the year recorded. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

Add the genres of the album.

Done Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Background[edit]

The source is the same for the first and second sentence, leave it at the end of the second phrase.
"as based largely on research" → can you provide a little more information with what this research is about? Perhaps the "research" was his own words?

I can't provide anymore information about his "research". Brymo did not go into specifics about what kind of research he did; all he said was that the album was based on research. If you think the statement should be omitted, I can do that. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:20, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I just removed the statement about the album being based on research. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The same issue happens again, as pointed out previously in the first instance.
References two and six should be in the correct order, first "2" and then "6".

I don't know exactly what you mean by this. What exactly do you mean by "correct order"? Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did it for you. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done

Composition[edit]

Fine

Singles[edit]

The album's lead single "Heya!" was released on 28 March 2018 → The album's lead single "Heya!" was released on 28 March 2018, along with its music video.
You have duplicate sources as in source 12, 15 and 16 → they are all the same
The album's second single "Bá’núsọ" (Yoruba: "Follow Up") was released on 9 September 2018 → The album's second single "Bá’núsọ" (Yoruba: "Follow Up") was released on 9 September 2018, along with its music video.

Done

Critical reception[edit]

music critics → link to music journalism

Done Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Accolades[edit]

Create a ref collum and add the source there.

Done Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing[edit]

All tracks are written by Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ → All tracks are written by Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ and produced by Mikky Me
Remove the producer from the tracklist since he is always the same.

Done with both. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Release history[edit]

You don't need the tooXclusive source, you have everything from the Itunes one.

Done Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

360nobs strikes me as a blog, as the writers seem to lack professional background

360nobs is a blog but the reviewer is a professional reviewer. The reviewer's name is Wilfred Okiche and his reviews are published by 360nobs and YNaija. if you check here, you'll see a small list of albums and films he's reviewed. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 15:38, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can't cite wikipedia. Do you have external sources claiming such? YNaija is another blog. Also Newspaper and magazine blogs. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:50, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was not citing Wikipedia. I was simply pointing out the number of projects Okiche has reviewed. I am simply saying he is a professional reviewer, not that he meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. YNaija might be a blog but they have an editorial team. They aren't many media platforms in Africa covering music and entertainment-related content. If we had more platforms (like it is in the West), African-related entertainment articles would be lengthy. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Show me that he is a professional reviewer and the source can be used, but only citing him never the source. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 20:01, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to this source, his writings have appeared in various print and online publications (I have already mentioned YNaija and 360nobs). One of the articles he co-wrote appeared in Variety. Sense of Cinema, a reliable website, describes him as "one of the most influential critics working in the Nigerian culture space". Someone who isn't "professional" can't be described in this way. Per his short bio on their page, Okiche is a member of FIPRESCI. All of this shows he is a professional critic whose writings have appeared in a number of publications. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:32, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Easy

Done MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:44, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall[edit]

The tooXclusive source is good, perhaps a small personnel section with producer, mastering, mixing and that that is on the back cover.
Don't address any concerns until I say so.

@Versace1608: I understand you might be excited to adress the issues, but I can't be reviwing the article, as I might be going back and forth with you adressing my concerns and you fixing them. Please stepback. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:36, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you done reviewing the article? I'd like to address your other concerns Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 16:30, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, read above. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:39, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed your concerns to the best of my ability. I'm awaiting for your response, thanks. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 19:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did I told you to do so? Can't you respect me? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:19, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for editing the page man. I just don't know what other concerns you have with the article. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 21:46, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Versace1608: Relax, I'm not going to fail it. It is in pretty good shape, just needs some touches here and there. Add the management and marketing as well to the personnel section. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:58, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I just added the management and marketing info to the personnel section. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 22:55, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
