Nile Rodgers, baby! I'll get through this one probably after the weekend. Watch this video about Rodgers in the meantime. Tkbrett (✉) 10:20, 29 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

You list this as the first Nile Rodgers single, but on the works section of his page it lists "Shady", Adam Lambert ft. Sam Sparro and Nile Rodgers (2012). Should that be indicated as coming before hand? This isn't meant to be a leading question, I don't know if that's how the song was actually credited, or if you would credit it as his single given he was a featured artist and not the main.

Added "Shady" to the infobox

Make sure you introduce or explain Chic and Rodgers. Someone who doesn't know about them will be confused why it matters the song was recorded in the same studio as Chic's first single.

Removed that info as it is not that important

"Rodgers told The Village Voice that American singer Pharrell Williams was interested in working with Daft Punk." This sentence's placement and wording is somewhat strange. It makes it sound like The Village Voice had something to do with connecting Williams and Daft Punk.

Removed The Village Voice part

I moved that sentence onto the start of the next paragraph, as it seems to work better there.

"Daft Punk re-recorded the bass part with Nathan East to fit Rodgers' performance" The wording makes it sound like three people were playing the bass. How about "Daft Punk had Nathan East re-record the bass part to fit Rodgers' performance." Or some variation.

""Get Lucky" received widespread acclaim from media outlets and music critics." This claim needs a citation.
""Get Lucky" has received many awards and nominations." So will this.

Removed both of those sentences.

For what it's worth, WikiProject Albums mentions to not overlink common instruments, so I've removed the links to vocals, guitar, bass and drums.

Sounds good.

copyvio score is 43.2% due to the Slate article. I think we just need to paraphrase these sentences just a little more: "Owen Pallet for Slate observed that the song can be heard in two different keys. He asserted most of the time it sounds as the though song is played in the minor mode of A Aeolian, which is a form of A minor, and appears as the third of the four chords on the line "We're up all night for good fun". The first chord of the progression is not played in A minor, rather D minor." The next value is 31%, so once the above is paraphrased we're good to go.

Reworded

Copyvio score is now 94.9% due to a Wikipedia Copycat. The next score is 35.9%, indicating a violation is unlikely.

After checking against freely available sources in several places, the article appears to be reliably referenced.

Cover image and audio sample are appropriately tagged as fair use and image of Williams is PD.
On hold: A nicely written article. Once the above concerns are addressed then this should be a pass. Tkbrett (✉) 20:31, 1 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
