I'm not certain that you can assert with confidence that "Bed Chem" is a disco song. The tempo and instrumentation are much more evocative of 90's/2000's styled R&B from artists like SWV, or Aaliyah, or TLC, and the beat doesn't have a four-on-the-floor styled accent, or a swing at all. Espresso is a great example of the elements that comprise Nu-disco music, or other songs of hers like "Read Your Mind", or "Feather", where there is a distinct four-on-the-floor drum beat, and a swing clearly present. There are lots of other modern examples of what I mean, here's a few: Dance the Night, Say So, About Damn Time, and After Midnight. I think "Bed Chem" is generally closer to synth-pop and Contemporary R&B, even the references on the wiki page acknowledge that Bed Chem is heavily R&B inspired, and I would say its more than just that. Let me know what you all think though. 130.15.33.190 (talk) 18:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article looks like it is in beautiful shape so I'll be taking this on :) Will try to get this done by the weekend. Locust member (talk) 16:01, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well-written

• Even though not technically MOS, I would still highly advise getting rid of false titles. I have seen that even your featured work has false titles so I won't be too nitpicky, though it is grammatically incorrect.

• Thanks for the leniency. At the moment, I would like to keep it consistent with my featured content.

• Wikilink tweets
• Doesn't "Some journalists"/"Some critics" fall under MOS:WEASEL? Correct me if I'm mistaken/misunderstanding

• It's a common way of summarizing on music articles, based on my experience, especially in the lead section since mentions of individual critics by name is considered undue weightage.

• Grace Robins-Somerville uses she/her pronouns per her LinkedIn; you use he/him pronouns in the article.
• Wikilink Neil McCormick

References

• Per earwig, copyvio unlikely of 16.7%. Looks great!
• Interview can be wikilinked in ref. 3
• Rob Sheffield can be wikilinked in ref. 24

• Sputnikmusic is a staff review. Y
• Other sources I observed as not being listed as WP:RSP or WP:A/S are either used in multiple other good articles, have an editorial staff, or are not making controversial claims. Article has reliable sources. Y
• Found no issues in my spot-check when reading through the article; all sources verify their accompanied text. Y
• No original research that I observed. Y

Broad

• Covers the major aspects of a standard song article and does not veer off topic. Y

NPOV

• Y

Stable

• No edit disputes within the past 14 days. Slight vandalism from an anonymous editor a few days ago but nothing that seems persistent. Y

Illustrated

• Images are correctly licensed and have ALT text. Y
• Sound sample is correctly licensed and relevant, complies with WP:SAMPLE. Y

Overall'

• Fantastic work here, MaranoFan! I will put this article  On hold until my (very few) comments are addressed.

• Hi Locust member, thanks for a wonderful review. Looks like everything should have been taken care of. Let me know if this is okay to be passed now and if there are any reviews I can do for you in return.--NØ 09:10, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the inconvenience, but could you indicate spotchecks for a few references? It is a Wikicup rule this year.--NØ 10:40, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
