  • There are four dablinks to fix

Origin and recording

edit
  • "The song is known to have been written" → The song was written
  • Same in next sentence

Composition and lyrics

edit
  • Reduce File:WordsMakethMurder.ogg to <22.5s and about 65kbps
  • Apart from the autoharp part, the entire first paragraph is unreferenced

Release

edit
  • "Released digitally on February 6" - source?
  • Wouldn't the last two sentences of this paragraph be better in the live performances section?

Live performances

edit
  • External links should not be in prose
  • I moved a ref to the end of a sentence, as they should usually be placed there
  • Tour name should not be italicised
  • Tour info needs a source

Music video

edit
  • Convention is to place the music video section before live performances
  • The image should be removed per WP:NFCC
  • Info about still photography in other videos is irrelevant and should be placed in the song's or the album's article
  • Link Pitchfork Media
  • "It was re-released on Dailymotion the following day and on YouTube on January 17." - source?

Release history

edit
  • Sources?

Musicians and personnel

edit
  • Source?

References

edit
  • You do not need to link to a website's homepage. See my edit for an example
  • In ref 2 (NME interview) you must give a link or info of the physical magazine; people must know how to find the published quote
  • Discogs is unreliable
  • The iTunes Store publishes ref 27, not iTunes

Summary

edit

I am placing the review on hold for seven days, awaiting improvements. Adabow (talk · contribs) 06:42, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for taking the time to review it and suggesting improvements! Just a few questions...

  • "Apart from the autoharp part, the entire first paragraph is unreferenced"; the tabs/chords/sheet music for the song aren't available online yet and even when they are, I doubt that a guitar tabs site would be considered a reliable source?
  • "Wouldn't the last two sentences of this paragraph be better in the live performances section?"; the last two sentences relate to in-studio radio promotion rather than performances in concert.
  • "Tour name should not be italicised"/"Tour info needs a source"; the italics refer to the album title, not the tour itself. And by tour info do you mean the line "the song has been performed at all of Harvey's live shows on the European leg of the Let England Shake tour throughout February and March 2011"? If so, would a Last.fm event guide be considered a reliable source?
  • "The image should be removed per WP:NFCC"; this is going to come across as a bit snobby, but why is an image for Nirvana's "In Bloom" video allowed and not here?
  • "In ref 2 (NME interview) you must give a link or info of the physical magazine; people must know how to find the published quote"; the interview video from which the quote is taken is available on both NMETV on NME.com and YouTube by NME's official channel. Are either/both of these considered reliable sources?

Other than that, thanks again, I'll be sure to fix the article over the next few days. Idiotchalk (talk) 20:04, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Due to a long hold period, I am failing this article. Decent improvements have been made, but there are still a few issues to pick up on. Read over all my points and address them before renominating the article. Adabow (talk · contribs) 03:58, 1 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
