Suggestion for GAN

[edit]

@Cartoon network freak: Good luck with the GAN. I have a recommendation for the second paragraph of the "Live performance and reception" section. I would stagger the references throughout the paragraph rather than clumping all seven of them at the end. Not only is not clear to the reader which reference is supporting the information present in the paragraph, but a reviewer may raise concerns about citation overkill.

@Aoba47: Hi there and thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, this can't be done, at least at the moment, since every bit of that paragraph is supported by two or three refs each, and this would mean that we'd have two or three refs after each sentence, which is perhaps not the best solution. I will wait for the GAN to see what the reviewer has to say. Thanks and best regards; Cartoon network freak (talk) 04:38, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the response. It is normal though to have a sentence have two or three references, but I will leave it up to your judgement. It is just something that jumped out at me when I went through the article. Aoba47 (talk) 05:07, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • Ref is not needed
 Done
  • Ester Peony and Alexandru Șerbu should be listed as producers, since they are referenced as composing the track
The producers of the track are unknown. Composing is not producing, it can be writing notes on paper but not producing in a programm or something like that.
  • "Musically, "On a Sunday" is a mid-tempo blues" → "Musically, the track is a mid-tempo blues"
 Done
  • "lyrics discuss on a failed relationship and have Peony reflecting" → "lyrics discuss a failed relationship and include Peony reflecting" as the word on is not needed and include reads much better than have.
 Done
  • "represented Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel after" → "represented Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel, after" the sentence currently leads to confusion of whether Israel is the location or a represented countries, this will make it specific
 Done
 Done
  • "to a reported 100,000 euro" → "to a reported 100,000 euros"
 Done
  • "Music critics gave the song mixed reviews upon its release, praising its production,..." → "The track was met with mixed reviews from music critics upon its release, with some praising its production,..."

Background and composition

[edit]
  • "She subsequently had success in Romania" → "She subsequently achieved success in Romania" - the former reads weirdly
 Done
  • "while music was composed" → "while the music was composed"
 Done
  • Wiwibloggs should be italicized
Wiwibloggs is a website, not a publication in that sense. Even the title of its Wikipedia article is not italicized.
  • Last sentence belongs as the last sentence of the second para in the section
I disagree. The last paragraph talks about the remastered version and what was changed, then we say when it was released. I think it works fine as it stands right now.
  • "the remastered version of "On a Sunday" would eventually be released" → "the remastered version of "On a Sunday" was eventually released"
 Done
  • "on 10 March 2019 by Cat Music" → "on 10 March 2019 through Cat Music"
 Done
  • "replacing the song's previous version.[14]" → "replacing the previous version of the song.[14]"
 Done

Critical reception and plagiarism accusation

[edit]

See above

 Done
  • "Music critics gave generally positive reviews upon the music video's release." → "The music video was released to generally positive reviews from critics." Writers of video reviews aren't always music critics.
 Done

 Done
  • "she also appeared to sing the song" → "she appeared to sing the song" as the first song performance isn't on a Romanian show.
 Done
  • "as well as on Pro FM," → "alongside performances on Pro FM,"
 Done
  • "she performed at Eurovision pre-parties including Eurovision in Concert in Amsterdam and PreParty ES in Madrid.[32][33]" → "she performed at Eurovision pre-parties, including Amsterdam's Eurovision in Concert and PreParty ES in Madrid.[32][33]"

It's a publisher I believe.

  • Change territory to country
 Done
  • Use a ref col
 Done
  • Citations regarding the digital release should be used to clarify that it was released in various countries; see "Deep in Love"
Unfortunately, the ref is dead now, so I canged "Various" to just "Romania" as this is the only ref we have of that release.
Try the way back machine?

Thank you :)

Final comments and verdict

[edit]
  • Didn't point it out every time as it comes up a lot, but punctuation inside/outside quotes is inconsistent. Either have ." or ". for consistency.
I now use ". everywhere. Cartoon network freak (talk) 19:55, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kyle Peake: I have reponded to all your comments... Thanks for your time... Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 19:55, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Cartoon network freak: Are you sure you can't find who produced the song? Try looking at the credits on Tidal??? Kyle Peake (talk) 20:19, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kyle Peake: They don't show any credits on Tidal: [1] Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:49, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And there is no archive that can be used for the release of the original song in other countries... Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:50, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Cartoon network freak: Looks good and if there's no producer that can be found then it can  Pass without one. Kyle Peake (talk) 21:15, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
