Good article nomination on hold

edit

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of May 31, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Pass.
2. Factually accurate?: Needs citations for claims regarding the reception of the song by critics (for example, "The song was well received by music critics" is not sourced), but otherwise, no problems here.
3. Broad in coverage?: Fail. Who composed the music? Who wrote the lyrics? Can you make some comments about the musical elements of the song, like rhythm, instrumentation, harmony, melody? I am not asking for an in-depth musical analysis (indeed, most pop songs do not warrant this), but there is basically nothing here.
4. Neutral point of view?: Pass.
5. Article stability? Pass.
6. Images?: Pass.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 02:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have added a reference to the intro and have added a bit about who composed the music and the lyrics. I have made some comments about the song's form and instrumentation. -- Underneath-it-All 16:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
One more comment. You say that it was generally well-received by music critics, but this source rates the album 2 out of 5 stars. Definitely not "well-received." -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 18:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
The song was generally well-received by critics. The RTE review gave the song a positive review, but panned most of the other songs on the album. -- Underneath-it-All 01:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
You're going to have to cite a reliable source for that claim. RTE didn't give the song a positive review; all they said was "'Put the Needle on it' is a dancy opener reminiscent of that other pop queen - Madonna." That is neither positive nor negative. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 03:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Changed the opening and response section to say the song received mixed reviews. -- Underneath-it-All 14:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations; I've now passed the article. If you'd like to eventually bring it up to FA status, my main recommendation would be to expand the coverage of the subject, adding more information on the writing of the lyrics, composition of the music, recording of the song, impact of the song, an expanded musical analysis, and so forth, though I doubt that there are enough reliable sources to cover what is needed for FA status. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 19:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in Put the Needle on It

edit

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Put the Needle on It's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ukcharts":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 16:37, 7 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Cunnilingus?

edit

Is the song about cunnilingus? The article says that it's about sex, but doesn't specify. Jim Michael (talk) 11:50, 16 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
