Midnights

Nominator(s): Ippantekina (talk) 10:43, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

This article is about the tenth studio album by Taylor Swift, an American singer-songwriter. This album garnered monstrous sales and was a #1 hit in many countries, and its Album of the Year win at the 2024 Grammy Awards received some contrarian commentary, although I personally find this album a pleasant listening experience. I believe this article is comprehensive, has depth, and is reliably sourced. I look forward to any and all comments. Regards, Ippantekina (talk) 10:43, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Image review - passes

• File:Midnights - Taylor Swift.png

  The album cover in the infobox. Use obviously makes sense in the article. The image is properly licensed, sourced, and has alt text.

• File:Antonoff in Tucson (cropped).jpg

  Use makes sense in the concept and writing section as most of the standard edition tracks were written with him. Source link is dead, the licensing is fine, and the image has alt text.

• File:Aaron Dessner at Way Out West 2014.jpg

  Image also make sense in the concept and writing section. Properly licensed, sourced, and has alt text.

• File:Taylor Swift The Eras Tour Midnights Era Set (53109799784) (cropped).jpg

  Use of the image fits the article, properly licensed, and sourced, but alt text needs to be re-written completely.

• File:Taylor Swift at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (1).png

  Use makes sense, properly licensed, sourced, and has alt text.

The next two things, although are not images, I'm including them here since they are files:

• File:Taylor Swift "Lavender Haze" sample.ogg

  Song sound sample: the inclusion makes sense in the article, it passes WP:SAMPLE, properly licensed, and sourced.

• File:Midnight Rain by Taylor Swift (sample).ogg

  Another song sample: Use in the article fits, passes WP:SAMPLE, is properly licensed, and sourced.

Overall, things are mostly fine, but there a couple minor things that need cleaned up. -- ZooBlazer 18:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

I replaced the Antonoff image and added ALT text to the Eras image. Thanks for the file review! Ippantekina (talk) 09:21, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

New image added:

• File:Antonoff at Radio Station.jpg - Replaced the above image of Antonoff. Everything looks good. Source link is dead, but this one has a working archive link.

With that said, I'm happy to pass the image review. -- ZooBlazer 03:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

@FAC coordinators: due to an increasingly busy schedule irl, I'd like to withdraw this FAC. Hopefully I'll get back to it when I resume my Wiki life :P Ippantekina (talk) 02:07, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
