Paparazzi (Girls' Generation song)[edit]

Improved to Good Article status by (talk). Nominated by Random86 (talk) at 07:54, 21 May 2016 (UTC).

  • New enough (GA), long enough, neutral, cited inline, and no copyvios detected (many sources in Japanese or not available online, so AGF on copyvios/close paraphrasing there). A few turns of phrase are "borrowed" from this source, such as "between shots of rabid photographers" and "The video plays as a stage performance". I'm quite surprised that got through a GA review. The close paraphrasing will have to be paraphrased further or attributed as quotes to that source. QPQ done. As per DYK rules, a cite is needed at the end of the sentence the hook is sourced from (even if the next cite appearing in that paragraph covers the material; silly, I know). Hook is short enough, interesting, and neutral. The verifiability should be evaluated after the cite is added. ~ RobTalk 19:38, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review, BU Rob13! The version of the article that got through the GA review had blatant close paraphrasing in that section [1]. I was surprised by it as well. I toned it down before nominating the article for DYK, but I suspected it might not be enough. I just re-wrote that part again and I think it's good now. I also added citations at the end of the hook sentence. Random86 (talk) 22:35, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
  • I did a slight copyedit to fix some close paraphrasing on the hook sentence. Problems fixed and good to go. ~ RobTalk 22:40, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
