GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Lead, this sentence ---> "It ended 2008 as the second most-played song on Christian contemporary hit radio", might need to be re-written, just the beginning of it. In the Background section, "and although the song wasn't his top favorite", "wasn't" ---> "was not". In the Release section, "Upon its release, the single became popular on Christian radio", you might want to remove "popular", per here.
- Check.

- I think I got all of your points. I really appreciate your review, thanks! When I read this review, I felt like trout-slapping myself for not seeing the little, obvious things (i.e., "wasn't vs. "was not"); this is the kind of stuff that I nitpick articles for. ;) It just goes to show how it's hard to spot certain issues in your own article work. :) Cheers, Jamie☆S93 20:16, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, you did. You're welcome, you did me a favor, I'm just returning it. :) Don't give yourself such a hard time, everyone makes mistakes, no one's perfect. Exactly, I've dealt with that, even though I've gone through the article twice. :P Anyways, back to business. Thank you to JamieS for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:15, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, it's more just humorous to have "obvious" little issues sitting in front of you. ;) This is something strange, though: I just realized that this song won the "Song of the Year" title at the major Christian music awards last night! So I just updated it, and the article will probably get a lot of views now. Many thanks for reviewing and passing! Jamie☆S93 22:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, but it is like "How did I miss that?" sort of thing. :) Good luck on the "updates". Hey, its my pleasure, and its not everyday that you see Christian related articles at GAN, so keep up the good work. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
