My third review for you now, guess there's really many GANs of yours in the queue! --K. Peake 08:25, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks as always. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:42, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Lead

• Img looks good!

• Thanks!

• "round), is one of the Swedish poet" → "round) is one of Swedish poet"

• Done.

• Again, best-known and best-loved does not belong in the opening sentence

• Done.

• The subtitle should be the second sentence instead

• Moved.

• Pipe Lake Mälaren to Mälaren

• Done.

• "after a night" → "following a night"

• Mm, I think "after" is better actually.

• You used the same word earlier in the sentence and neither alters the meaning, so switch to following or something similar. --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• [1] is not needed in the lead since that info is in the body and refs are discouraged here anyway

• There's a direct quotation in double quotation marks, so it'd best stay.

• No there is not, you are thinking of [2]. --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• Aha. Gone.

• Only part of the subtitle is sourced in the body

• Fixed.

• Pipe Hessingen to Essingen Islands

• Done.

• "It is one of Bellman's" → "The composition is one of Bellman's" and this should be the last sentence of the first para

• Done.

• Wikilink as Bacchanalian instead

• Done.

• "Places along the route can" → "Places along the route to Stockholm can" starting the second para

• Done the paragraphing; no need to repeat as "back home to Stockholm" is just above.

• Reception should be after the above sentence in second para, but this could be split into more than one sentence

• I must say I think it works well as one sentence, as the clauses compactly build up a picture.

• Isn't this overusage of "it" though? --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• Not to worry.

• "its detail to" → "the detail to"

• See item above.

• "its delicacy to Watteau's," → "the delicacy to Antoine Watteau's," with the wikilink

• As above; piped.

• Add a final sentence mentioning the adaptation

• Perhaps a bit too prominent for the item concerned.

• Don't you need another sentence at least since the second para is too short? --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• OK, found a sentence that seems to fit in naturally there. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:20, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Context

• The ref in the first sentence should solely be at the end of it

• Done.

• "his songs at the" →"his songs at locations such as the"

• Edited.

• "during the eighteenth century." → "during the 18th century." per MOS:NUM

• Done.

• Remove comma after his employer

• The comma separates the noun phrase from another noun phrase which explains it.

• It is not needed for introductions like this in the body, as writing the role out and then a name makes it clear. --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• Done, but the issue isn't clarity but naturalness.

• no. 48 → No. 48 on the img text

• Done.

Song

Music

• Add text about the audio sample to comply with WP:NFCCP

• Done.

• Pipe key to Key (music)

• Done.

• "each of eight lines." → "each consisting of eight lines."

• Done.

• "CCCB. It was written" → "CCCB, while the composition was written" to avoid overly short sentences

• Edited.

• The quote does not need a speech mark at the end because there's not one at the start

• Gone.

• Pipe Antoine de Bourbon to Antoine of Navarre

• Done.

• opera-ballet → opéra-ballet

• Done.

• "where it is named as" → "under the name of"

• Done.

• "where Bellman obtained it," → "where Bellman obtained the melody,"

• Done.

• "Bellman knew it as "Si le roy m'avoit donné", and set his" → "Bellman knew the melody as "Si le roy m'avoit donné", setting his"

• I think the past tense and active verb work better here, given the "knew" at the start.

• "of Bacchi Tempel, and his poem" → "of Bacchi Tempel and his poem"

• No, see next item.

• Remove comma after the poem title

• The punctuation is a natural and necessary pause here, as both the song and the poem are set to that tune: we mustn't group the poem with the concluding phrase, or we'd leave the song stranded with no target.

• Only use Bellman's surname on the img text, like the previous one

• Done.

Lyrics

• Pipe Lake Mälaren to Mälaren

• Done.

• Remove wikilink on Stockholm

• Gone.

• Last para looks good!

• Thanks!

Places mentioned

• Wikilink Ulla Winblad and pipe Hessingen to Essingen Islands on the img text

• Done.

• "in the text." → "in the text:" per them being in the box below and does ref 17 need to be there too?

• Punctuated. The ref is certainly advisable to deter the tag-every-uncited-para bunnies.

• Pipe Lake Mälaren to Mälaren

• Done.

• Pipe Saltpeter to Niter

• Done.

Reception

• Remove wikilinks on Stockholm and Ulla Winblad for the img text

• Gone.

• "Bellman's biographer, the translator" → "Translator and Bellman biographer"

• British usage.

• "a masterpiece, and" → "a masterpiece and"

• Done.

• Remove wikilink on Watteau

• Gone.

• "all together they" → "he believes that all together they"

• Edited.

• "Elias Martin's canvasses."" → "Elias Martin's canvasses"." per MOS:QUOTE

• Done.

• "and that he achieved this also" → "also seeing he achieved this"

• Um, surely that changes the meaning.

• Shouldn't you reword to avoid overusage of "that"? --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• The sentence isn't cluttered with them.

• "in narrative technique, and in Fredman's" → "narrative technique, and Fredman's"

• Done, but I'm a bit queasy about the result.

• Pipe Goddess Venus to Venus (mythology) and remove the comma afterwards

• Done.

• Remove pipe on Neptune

• No, that'd mean the planet instead.

• You've piped to the article elsewhere, so try rewording to specify what Neptune is being referred to. --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• Oh you mean unlink. Done.

• "states that the song paints" → "states the song paints"

• Better with than without.

• Overusage of "that" on this and the next one, again? --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• Rereading it, I'm still quite comfortable with it as it is with just 2 instances.

• "that the verses offer" → "the verses offer"

• Ditto.

• "that Ulla is here no" → "how Ulla Winblad is here no"

• Done.

• "and that the text of" → "and how the text of"

• Done.

• "where the seasick Ulla drops" → "where Ulla Winblad is seasick and drops"

• That changes the sense. Presumably she became seasick while in the boat. Also it's what Lönnroth said.

• Use the full name, as this is not a real person. --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• Done, but neither I nor the scholars cited see that as a rule.

• Penultimate para looks good!

• Thanks.

• "one of the songs most" → "one of the ones most" to avoid overusage of songs

• Said "pieces".

• "in both cases, it was" → "In both cases, the composition was" as a new sentence and to avoid overly repetitive wording

• Edited.

Recordings and adaptations

• Like before, can you add enough info for any of these to meet WP:SONGCOVER?

• Cut for now, I may look for discussions of the recordings one day.

• Remove the comma after Mikael Samuelson

• Done.

• Italicise festschrift

• Done.

References

• Copyvio score looks phenomenal at 6.5%!!!

• Noted.

• The Bellman Society → Bellman Society on ref 4 with the wikilink per MOS:LINK2SECT

• Done.

• Is ref 12 really necessary when pp. 207–211 is part of what ref 18 cites anyway?

• Merged.

• Ref 16 should be a note at the top of this section instead

• Done.

• Wikilink Växjö University on ref 20 and add the language parameter

• Done.

• Remove or replace refs 22 and 24 per WP:RSP

• Done.

Sources

• Wikilink Albert Bonniers Förlag instead

• Done.

• Pipe Simon and Schuster to Simon & Schuster

• Done.

External links

• Add the website name that the text is at

• Done.

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until everything is resolved; your response time has been very impressive! --K. Peake 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• Chiswick Chap ✓ Pass now, I don't take any issues with the usage of that upon second consideration and regarding the fullname of the character being used, that is a Wiki policy when names are not real ones. --K. Peake 10:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
