This is going to be reviewed by me today! --K. Peake 10:28, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Since the actual recording month is not known, change to merely 1968 in the infobox

• But it's known that it's either July or October.

• Pye is linked both in the studio and label parameters leading to the exact same article, so only keep one

• One goes to Pye Studios and the other to Pye Records. The former redirects to the latter because there isn't an article for it, but there could be someday, so I think that means they both ought to be kept.

• Mention in the first sentence that it is from their sixth studio album, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968)

• Done.

• The second sentence should be written/sung and recorded period

• Done.

• "concert where Davies fell" → "concert during which Davies fell"

• Done.

• Make the third sentence the one about the musical style, then the lyrical content in another sentence or more

• Done.

• "The recording features" → "The song features"

• In the reword, is "Its" fine? I just want to avoid the repetition ("the song ... the song ... the song ...).

• "while its style indicated" → "while its style showcased"

• Done.

Background and composition

• Quote box looks good!
• "was further inspired by" → "was also inspired by"

• Done.

• "from Davies's time spent" → "from his time spent"

• Done.

• Swap the second and third paras for the correct comp order

• Done.

• I don't think "In writing" is really appropriate at the start of the para; maybe try something like when writing or through the writing of?

• Changed to the former.

• "all of his friends there" → "all of them there" to be less repetitive

• Done.

• "describes the ending" → "describes the ending as"

• Done.

• "sense of companionship."" → "sense of companionship"." per MOS:QUOTE

• Done.

• Pipe metre to Metre (music)

• Done.

• Pipe chorus to Refrain

• Done.

• Shouldn't you use the plural of lead vocal instead for Davies?

• I'm not sure what the convention is in British English. I see the FA Sgt. Pepper uses both.

• Wouldn't it be better to reword to mentioning something about the pitch instead of writing intonation?

• The source (Rogan 2015) says "posh intonation", but doesn't mention the pitch. I've changed it to "posh tone".

• "closes the song awkwardly and" → "is an awkward closer and"

• What's wrong with the original wording?

Recording and release

• Quote box looks good!
• "to expand its track listing to fifteen," → "to expand it to fifteen tracks,"

• Done.

• "though it possibly dated" → "though the song is possibly dated"

• Done.

• Remove the word magazine after The Village Voice

• Done.

• "He suggests the song displays" → "He suggested the song demonstrates"

• Done.

• "song", calling it" → "song", calling the song"

• Done.

• "of the band's next" → "of the band's succeeding"

• Done.

• "instead thinks the song" → "instead considers the song"

• Done.

• "of the village green."" → "of the village green"." per MOS:QUOTE

• Done.

Notes

• Hinman updated his dating to → Hinman updated his date to

• Done.

References

• Copyvio score looks great at 29.6%!!!
• Solely cite the publisher for ref 26

• Done.

Sources

• Pipe Backbeat Books to Rowman & Littlefield

• Per our discussion in the GAN for "Starstruck", I piped it to UBM Technology Group.

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; nice article once again! --K. Peake 11:15, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks again Kyle Peake, comments and responses above. Tkbrett (✉) 18:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

• Tkbrett About the recording date in the infobox, simply change to 1968 because that is the know year and or for either month is not a good idea and the awkwardly part needs rewording to avoid overusage of the song. --K. Peake 07:38, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

• Kyle Peake: gotcha, I reworded the "awkwardly" part. Is there anything in the MOS about the infobox dating? Template:Infobox song#recorded doesn't provide any guidance, nor does MOS:ALBUM#Dating. I still feel its better as is than the broader "1968". Tkbrett (✉) 15:27, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

• Tkbrett Not that I'm aware of, however I'd advise against adding unspecific dates to infoboxes. --K. Peake 07:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

• Kyle Peake if it's really a personal preference thing and not anything in the MOS, I preferred to keep it as for the reasons above. Tkbrett (✉) 12:17, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

• Tkbrett Maybe you could add a note to the infobox clarifying this? --K. Peake 07:44, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

• Kyle Peake, sure, does this look okay? Tkbrett (✉) 11:15, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

• ✓ Pass now, the note works perfectly! --K. Peake 16:41, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
