This article is in extremely good shape. I've made some minor copyedits, but this should be a very short GAN.
My only serious query is the way the lyrics are summarized, in particular the use of the somewhat-anachronistic 'partner'. The sources make it very clear that the song was inspired by a specific romantic relationship, and 'partner' is both ambiguous between romantic/platonic relationships and wasn't in common use for the former at the time. (The lead also says "partners", which is in disagreement with the sources and the body of the article.) Is there a good way to recast these uses?
Otherwise, excellent work. Vaticidalprophet 02:24, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Vaticidalprophet The lead section was a typo, my mistake. The lyrics are supposed to refer to a romantic partner (inspired by Cavaliere's girlfriend). English is not my first language which may have been the primary issue in this mixup, my apologies. VirreFriberg (talk) 18:20, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- No problem! It's a term that's become much more common for romantic partners in the past ten or twenty years, but wasn't usually used for them in the 1960s, so it stood out as an unusual wording. I'll check the article for any more minor copyedits, but hope to pass this soon -- it's in strong shape and looking through the sources in that section found everything was fine in source-text terms.
