Upcoming review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality (prose is clear and concise, without exceeding quotations, or spelling and grammar errors):
    Multiple phrases can be shortened, summarized or merged with other ones.
    B. MoS compliance (including, but not limited to: lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists):
    Some basic errors with weasel vagueness
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources (including an appropriate reference section):
    Some sources are deadlinks
    B. Citation of available and reliable sources where necessary (including direct quotations):
    Where necessary
    C. No original research:
    Some statements are not immediately said in the cited sources
    D. No copyright violations:
    Earwig reports too many issues due to the overuse of quotes. I attempted to reduce the quotes by removing them and the report still has a high percentage caused by the proper nouns, like album titles and awards. This cannot be fixed or paraphrased and omitting those names is incorrect.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    The article includes relevant information required in a biography
    B. Focused:
    The article doesn't divert to trivialities and remains focused on Harris's life
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    Occasional unattributed vagueness that causes unnecessary flattery to a popular artist.
  5. Is it stable?
    edit wars, multiple edits not related to the GAN process, etc. (this excludes blatant vandalism):
    No issues
  6. Does it contain images (or other media) to illustrate (or support) the topic?
    A. Images (and other media) are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    The images are correctly tagged and there are no immediate copyright violations or any reason to assume their uploaders / authors are violating third parties
    B. Images (and other media) are provided where possible and are relevant, with suitable captions:
    The images are relevant and added in the correct sections.

2012–present
  • I honestly don't remember the guide, essay, whatever, but sections that go like this are discouraged, so please rework this section:
In 2012, content
In 2013, content
In 2014, content
  • 2012 has three micro sentences that can be merged. Also "She recorded three songs that appeared"

    • not sure what you are asking here
      • I don't remember either.

  • You use "In 2021" thrice in this paragraph
  • "However, she continues to perform and play shows" is sourced to a primary source
    • this is in reference to her tour dates which are available online and should suffice as evidence of the fact that she still tours.

I'm going to pause at the moment and I'll continue tomorrow. (CC) Tbhotch™ 04:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Influences
  • "Another significant influence was Joan Baez.[121] Harris recalled a "spiritual" connection to Baez's music." can be merged
  • "Parsons exposed Harris to the music of The Louvin Brothers, Bill Monroe and George Jones." → MOS:THEMUSIC
    • not sure what you are asking here.
      • "of the Louvin Brothers"
        • Got it
  • "Harris would hire Rodney Crowell to join her band when she became a solo act. Crowell came from a traditional country background in Texas. She credited Crowell for helping further develop her artistry in the country field." Crowell, Crowell, Crowell. This can be summarized.
Musical styles
  • Harris has been largely identified with the country rock musical style → by whom?
  • Photo: "Harris performing onstage in Seattle, Washington in collaboration with Phil Madeira and Ricky Simpkins, 2008." → "in Seattle, Washington, in collaboration"
  • "a genre that is centered in roots music" → "a genre that is centered on roots music"
  • "Harris' music has also been categorized" → by whom?
  • "led Harris to be considered" → by whom?
  • "Harris has since been given the moniker of the "Godmother of Americana"" → "Harris has since been given [by whom?] the moniker "Godmother of Americana""
  • "Harris has also been identified by writers as a musician." → She is a singer, songwriter, and plays the guitar, which makes her a musician automatically. The immediate source says this only, "Country singer, songwriter and musician Emmylou Harris was born April 2, 1947, in Birmingham, Alabama.", so I don't see multiple writers acknowledging the obvious.
    • what about - "Harris's musicianship has also been discussed and spoken about"?
      • Okay.
  • "This started with Harris' first backing group called The Hot Band" → " This started with Harris' first backing group called the Hot Band"
  • "Sheryl Crow and numerous others" → "Sheryl Crow, and numerous others"
Vocals
  • "Writers have characterized Harris' singing voice to be a soprano" → "Writers have characterized Harris' singing voice as that of a soprano."

Legacy
  • "Harris is also credited for influencing the Neotraditional country sub-genre that established in the 1980s and 1990s" → "Harris is also credited with influencing the Neotraditional country sub-genre that was established in the 1980s and 1990s"
  • "Harris has also been regarded" → by whom?
  • "Along with The Statler Brothers and Tom T. Hall" → MOS:THEMUSIC
    • The is part of the group's name. It has to stay.
  • "Harris was presented the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award." → "Harris was presented with the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award."
  • "The concert featured several of Harris's closest friends and collaborators including Rodney Crowell, Alison Krauss and Lucinda Williams" → "The concert featured several of Harris's closest friends and collaborators, including Rodney Crowell, Alison Krauss, and Lucinda Williams"
    • why the Oxford comma here?
      • Consistency
  • "influencing the Neotraditional country sub-genre" → neotraditional is not a proper noun
  • "Pam Tillis[165] Carrie Underwood[166]" missing commas
    • Done
Activism
  • "The program started as a way to promote research around the humanities..." → You can merge this sentence; also "in the humanities"
  • "establish a dog rescue which she named" → "establish a dog rescue, which she named"
  • "To remember him, Harris decided to establish a dog rescue which she named Bonaparte's Retreat in honor of her pet. The rescue was created to save stray dogs from animal shelters and keep them until they found their "forever home". The rescue resides in the Nashville area and often rescues dogs that are taken from the Metro Nashville Animal Care and Control facility." → These three sentences can be merged into two.
    • how would you merge them? All three seem long and independent enough from one another to stay the way they are
      • To remember him, Harris decided to establish Bonaparte's Retreat, a dog rescue whose purpose was to save stray dogs from animal shelters and house them until they found their "forever home". The rescue resides in the Nashville area and often rescues dogs that are taken from the Metro Nashville Animal Care and Control facility.
        • Thanks for that! I added it
  • "Harris helps raise funds for the program by creating concerts that sponsor the rescue. The rescue" → The rescue, the rescue
Personal life
  • "but has called herself a" → "but she has called herself a"
  • "her first daughter Hallie" → "her first daughter, Hallie"
  • "Hallie spent a majority of her time" → "the majority" or simply most of her time
  • "Harris wed her then-producer Brian Ahern." → married, also, you are missing a comma
  • "her second child Meghann in 1979" → "her second child, Meghann, in 1979"
  • "She has a granddaughter who was born in 2009, and a grandson who was born in 2012." → Wrong comma. The "who was" are not needed. Also, this sentence is too short for its own paragraph
    • If I merged these paragraphs, it would be one massive paragraph. The granddaughter part seems separate. It also has 5 sentences which suffices technically as a paragraph.
Copyright issues
  • Earwwig reports a "42.2% Violation Possible" at worst because of a quote you used in the article coupled with other album titles and some common phrases that your text and their text use. This issue is not limited to two sources, but twenty-two of them are listed above 20%. Please, reduce the quotes used throughout.

I'll continue with the last section, references, tomorrow. (CC) Tbhotch™ 05:06, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Stumble into Grace? If that is what you mean it brought me directly to the correct page.
      • "Its single "I Don't Wanna Talk About It Now" was Harris' first to make the US Adult Alternative Airplay chart" and "Spawned from the disc was the single "This Is Us", which reached number five on the US Adult Alternative Airplay chart"
        • Honestly, I have lost complete track of which link is which because the numbers have changed since I edited them. I clicked on the link and it brought me to the correct page: the BB AAA chart history for Harris.
  • Source 87 (NPR) "Harris and Mark Knopfler (formerly of the band Dire Straits) spent seven years writing and recording songs which would make up their collaborative studio effort All the Roadrunning." If this is mentioned in the recorded interview, please, indicate the time when it is said
    • well I had to sort of guess because it does not show the time on the screen. I said "circa 1 minute in"
  • Source 88 (EW) "Their original intention was to record songs that would be featured on their solo material. However, Knopfler and Harris realized their recordings could work as duets for a collaborative album together" It is not immediately assumed. The source says, "Yeah, the first couple of tracks we did were slated for [his] Sailing to Philadelphia. Those were ”Donkeytown” and ”Red Staggerwing,” and I just did a sort of traditional overdub. And I suppose Mark, in listening back to them, felt there might be the seeds of a whole project, so he kept them off the record with the idea of maybe trying some more things at a later time."

    • I can't help you with the subscriptions. I have subscriptions to all of these, so please trust they are accurate.
  • @Tbhotch: I think I got through most of the errors and removed the dead links. I have never been asked to enter the code "url-access=subscription" into a URL. I have spent nearly 15 minutes trying to add them only to get error notifications. Is there any way you can these? Or can we just leave as is? Wiki-specific codes are hard for me to understand sometimes, sorry in advance. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 03:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
