Bill Anderson's "Biggest" Hits?

Bill Anderson's "biggest hits" according to who? In the opinion of the writer? This doesn't seem too NPOV to me. Duprees62 02:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The source referenced says it was is his biggest hit and signature song.Tomsv 98 (talk) 18:03, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

---

Just a couple minor issues that should be easily fixable.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   As usual, just watch for overuse of commas and overlinking of words. I did a bit more copy-editing.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

• Again, I would recommend catalog numbers for any time that you cite an album liner notes.
  • @TenPoundHammer: Complete. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 02:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
• Discogs is user-submitted and therefore not a reliable source. I would suggest a replacement here if possible. This was the only source I spotted that was unreliable.
  • @TenPoundHammer: I couldn't find another source. The problem was the UK version had all 4 tracks, while the US version did not. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 02:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
• A couple sources were missing the "work" field, which I fixed.
  • @TenPoundHammer: Thank you! ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 02:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

3. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

4. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Side comment: I love how this is the second article you've worked on where a picture of a Krystal restaurant is actually relevant.

   @TenPoundHammer: Hah, didn't even cross my mind until you mentioned it now. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 02:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

5. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Problems have been addressed to my satisfaction, so once again this gets a passed. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:03, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
