Failed "good article" nomination[edit]

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of March 14, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Not bad, but this article needs a solid copyediting. I suggest someone read it out loud, and some of the phrasing issues would pop out. Some of the worst offenders:
  • What does this mean? "They went to club to turn "music to vibe""
  • "Jon Caramanica Blender referred to the sound a "Southern marching band performing late-'80s R&B."
  • The Engish is the Music Video section is atrocious. Honestly.
2. Factually accurate?: excellent reffing
3. Broad in coverage?: Pass
4. Neutral point of view?: I question that there isn't a single negative (or even mixed) review. Don't necessarily go looking for one (sometimes reviews are glowing), but check some of these other famous reviewers, and consider including some of their comments: The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Vibe, and MetaCritic.
5. Article stability? Pass
6. Images?: Pass

The article is good in many respects, but is in desperate need of a copyedit.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— Esprit15d • talkcontribs 13:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe. I go through this one hastily. Maybe I should have at least given one or two days of copyediting before passing to GA. --Efe (talk) 08:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I believe failing this one was not the ultimate decision; it could be on hold. Comments are "addressable" in a matter of minutes of hour. Anyway, I've waited for someone to review this and thanks Esprit for such. I've addressed most of your concerns and I'm heading to GAN again. I hope you will review this for the second time. Thanks. --Efe (talk) 08:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2nd GA nomination[edit]

I'm passing the article; I saw a lot of improvement. The music video section still needed grammatic attention, but I fixed it myself and passed the article.--Esprit15d • talkcontribs 12:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for passing and for the ce. --Efe (talk) 00:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fabolous[edit]

Doesn't Fabolous sing in this song? Tcatron565 (talk) 00:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Writers?[edit]

The song writers in the introductory text differ from those in the info box. Could someone put this right please? Best Witchwooder (talk) 11:40, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
