I'll review this article soon.100cellsman (talk) 08:21, 26 December 2018 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteriaReply

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    I couldn’t grasp the information of Forbes revealing his identity easily. The section could be worded better.
    What does the section “which had been previewed by the duo for a long period” mean?
    “Marshmello's and Dotcom's associating with Shalizi, and the uncovering of their similar tattoos and birthday.” I found this wording awkward.
    "Having done that,” unnecessary statement.
    ”During the mid-year” A more precise date would be useful.
    ”on which he” in > on
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    The article uses present tense words inappropriately at times.
    ”in which Mexican rapper Omar LinX is featured”
    ”singer-songwriter Wrabel is featured”
    ”His next single, announced on Twitter, is a collaboration”
    Pitchfork’s review for Joytime II as mentioned in the lead, isn’t in the article body.
    The appearance and musical style sections should be joined together as an artistry section.
    ”Marshmello released his last two singles of 2018” is a dated statement.
    Alone being released under the label Monstercat isn’t in the article body apart from the lead.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:  
    ”having reached the top 10 in more than 20 countries.” is not in reference 24.
    ”released through Joytime Collective,” is not in reference 25.
    ”in which American singer-songwriter Wrabel is featured.” is not in reference 35.
    Not certain if YourEDM is a reliable source, and reference 16 citing the Ookay, Noah Cyrus and “Chasing Colors” section can be dropped as Billboard is much more reputable.
    C. It contains no original research:  
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    The infobox says that he has his own YouTube Channel for gaming and cooking besides music, and I can’t find that being mentioned in the article body aside from from his video views.
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
    “He is managed by Moe Shalizi of Red Light Management, who also manages artists such as Jauz, Ookay and Slushii” I don’t see the need for the other artists under his management.
    Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are very well known so its not really necessary to refer to them as a “singer and actress” and a “pop singer” respectively. And Bastille can just be referred to as a “british band” instead of a “British indie pop band“
    “He covers his identity similarly to other electronic music artists such as Deadmau5 and Daft Punk” There doesn’t need to be a comparison in the lead.
    “which features Marshmello's pet mouse, Joel (Deadmau5's first name)” Totally unnecessary.
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
    Questionable POV writing:
    ”with the late rapper, Lil Peep,”
    ”from established and well-known DJs like Skrillex”
    ”an organization which aims to help refugees and immigrant children”
    ”with fellow producer Jauz”
    The lead mentioning the many artists he collaborated may come off as promotional. Also “his second most-successful career single” is maybe POV?
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
    The images in the article body are kinda cluttered in the article in my opinion.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    Unfortunately, this article constitutes as a quickfail. I found too many problems than I had anticipated. Hope these problems get resolved for this article to be nominated again.100cellsman (talk) 11:32, 26 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
