Photo

Why is her photo changing? I don’t understand why because the previous file was her in 2022, and I think her photo does not need to be changed multiple times. 2601:406:4200:8E90:3DDC:F5C0:2D29:34FD (talk) 15:50, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That photo was a copyright violation --FMSky (talk) 16:38, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
FN51 following the first sentence of the paragraph starting with Aside from her music success... is IMDB, which is unreliable as per WP:RS. Please find a new citation for this.
FN96, FN102, FN192 and FN196 use YouTube, which is generally considered unreliable. For this specific topic, it might be okay, but you'd need to give me a valid reason or two why you believe it's okay. (Or just remove and add new sources for these, if that's easier!)
2c. it contains no original research.
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.

Checked using WP:EARWIG and I believe it looks good.

3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

Mentions both good and bad things she did. Doesn't appear to be biased.

5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

Basically every recent edit is from the reviewer. No edit wars.

6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.

Yes, but would it be possible to find and add more images? I feel like two isn't enough, but I could be wrong.

7. Overall assessment.

Please add  Done or  Not done to my comments as you finish them. Use  Done if you agree with me and believe you have fixed it, and  Not done if you don't agree with me and can provide a reason why. Thanks! Ali Beary (talk!) 13:59, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To tell the truth, I caught a writer's block while trying to edit the "Artistry" and "Legacy and achievements" sections so I'll need a bit more time to finish those sections. I would also really appreciate if someone could upload maybe 2-3 images of her onto Commons (especially better-looking ones). Finesse2Starz (talk) 11:36, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Writers block is honestly real. However, I believe if it isn't worked on in about 7 days I may need to fail the GA. I'll try to be bold and find images of her to upload, but I'm hoping you will be able to add some too. Just make sure you use the right copyright tags! Ali Beary (talk!) 12:43, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Finesse2Starz you haven't done any work on the article in about three weeks... a little more than two weeks after the nomination. Are you working on this? Ali Beary (talk!) 17:13, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Finesse2Starz if you don't respond within a few days I will be failing this nomination. Ali Beary (talk!) 17:17, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. I will be able to finish editing the article at the end of this week as I've been busy with other things. Finesse2Starz (talk) 01:54, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ali Beary@Finesse2Starz Where are we with this review? it's been awhile IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 17:36, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I really apologize for taking so long to resume work on the article. I have now continued working on it and the only sections that I need to complete are the introduction along with the Artistry and Achievements sections. Once finished, I will announce that I am and the review can start. It would also be great if anybody could upload some images of Cole onto Commons specifically one of her from the 2010s decade and two of her from the 2020s decade. Finesse2Starz (talk) 19:52, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. I've been taking a mental health break. :) Ali Beary (talk!) 12:05, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm now finished working on the article. I can't seem to come up with a better rewriting of the Introduction passage though. Finesse2Starz (talk) 20:29, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Finesse2Starz: Not the reviewer, but I think you have to finish formating the sources 237-251. I don't think that a few sources with just the link makes the article suitable for GA status. Hey, not completing ALL the boxes, but the esential ones at least. @Ali Beary: What do you think? Santi (talk) 20:24, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I agree with this. About 15 citations only have the link and nothing else, which is definitely not GA status. Ali Beary (talk!) 11:40, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to interfere with salt (I'm checking old reviews whether they need a pick-me-up or a second opinion). These sources are generally unreliable per WP:RS (BroadwayWorld, Distractify, Album of the Year, PR Newswire.) With PR Newswire "some articles may be used for uncontroversial claims about the article's author". The existence of albums/songs can be directly cited via Template:Cite AV media notes, instead of Amazon. I'm not sure "Rolling Out" is reliable, but WP:RS doesn't flag them as such. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 08:05, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Finesse2Starz and Ali Beary - any updates on this? GoldRomean (talk) 22:09, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Finesse2Starz @Ali Beary - the review page has not been edited by either of you have edited since 8 May; and the article has not been edited since 24 May. If neither of you are active and no one else is willing to review/fix this article, unfortunately we might have to fail it. GoldRomean (talk) 03:33, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Failing due to inactivity. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 13:38, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
