Wave 1[edit]

Created/expanded by EditorE (talk). Self-nominated at 22:17, 24 February 2016 (UTC).

  • Full review needed now that supplied QPQ is only used for this nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:10, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
  • The article is new enough (newer than oldest unreviewed, as per guidelines) and long enough. It is neutrally written. I cannot find any obvious copyright violations, and the article has sufficient inline citations. I spot checked these, and they are fine. The QPQ is complete, although I would suggest that next time, you include a little more detail in your review; the promoter will find it helpful. However, I have some issues with this hook. First, it has odd links; it would seem that "Wave 1" is the EP, which has been linked twice, but you've bolded the second, piped link; while "Wave 1" is not actually the name of the artist, which is what your hook suggests. Also, it is slightly confusing; although it might make it slightly less interesting, I would suggest a plainer statement. I don't want to suggest an alternative, because another reviewer would then be required; instead, EditorE, if you could fix these issues in an ALT hook, I'll take another look at it.

    • ALT1 ... that while synthwave producer Com Truise was making his third extended play Wave 1, he didn't realize that it was really a reflection on the few months of his life before he started working on it?
  • ALT1 is certainly an improvement, in that you've fixed most of the issues with the formatting and linking. Still a little uncertain, though. Here's why; the portion following the comma comes from Com Truise himself, and is thus a primary sourced analytical claim that we are making in Wikipedia's voice. I know I'm pushing this a little, but we're nearly there; go even plainer, along the lines of "Com Truise made this, about which he said this." Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 02:44, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
    • ALT2 ... that producer Com Truise made Wave 1, which he said that he did not realize that it was really a reflection on the few months of his life before he started working on it?
  • ALT2 is fine in terms of content; therefore, I am going to propose ALT3, with only grammatical changes, which should not need a new reviewer. This should be GTG (with ALT3, unless you have objections to the wording change, Editor E?) Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:17, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
  • ALT3 ... that after synthwave producer Com Truise made his third extended play Wave 1, he said he had not realized it was really a reflection of the previous few months of his life?
