Assessment

I'm adding comments and suggestions in section by section, and I'll strike them out as they are addressed. Please do not hesitate to let me know if I have in your opinion made an error. Amitchell125 (talk) 12:01, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Lead section/infobox

• Unlink London throughout the article (MOS:OVERLINK).

 Done

• UK edition of The X Factor - this only needs a single link, The X Factor (British TV series).

 Done

• ...to pursue a… - replace with 'for her'.

 Done

• A few points from the article need to be added to the lead section, so as to ensure it is a concise summary of the main text. Consider mentioning:

• that Once Upon a Time was nominated for Best Album of the Year at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards and for Best R&B/Pop Album at The Headies 2014;

 Done

• that Savage has been involved in youth empowerment and breast cancer screening projects and has raised funds to build schools in Nigeria;

 Done

• that R.E.D and Sugarcane have both been nominated for Best Album at the Nigeria Entertainment Awards;

 Done

• that In November 2018, Savage won Best African Act at the 2018 MTV Europe Music Awards, becoming the first woman to win the category.

 Done

• The following points in the lead section also need to be included in the main article (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section to see where I am coming from): her full name and her date of birth; at the age of 16, she began her music career; in 2012 (?); inspired by the growth of the Nigerian music industry, she returned to live in Nigeria.

 Done

@Amitchell125: Thanks for reviewing the article. I have addressed the issues you raised here. If you have additional issues you need me to address, please let me know. Thank you.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 17:50, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

• Reference 7 (RVO Media) - this reference does not mention which languages she sings in.

 Done I added a source to support this info. I should also point out that this particular info is already mentioned in the article's body. During her interview with Brenda Pike, she said her debut studio album would include songs in her native tongue; several songs on that album and subsequent albums were recorded in Yoruba, the likes of "Eminado" and "Folarin", to name a few.

• Reference 2 (Vogue) can safely be removed as the same information is cited in the main article.

 Done I removed the source from the lede paragraph.

• Reference 3 (Biography home) - the first link doesn't work.

 Done I fixed the link; you should be able to access it now.

More to come. Apologies for the delays, I have had a few health issues. Amitchell125 (talk) 08:41, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. I hope you feel better; I wish you a speedy recovery.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 19:48, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Music career

• Unlink London throughout the article.

 Done

• Who was George Michael?

 Done I added English singer before George Michael; I'm not sure if that's how you want it.

• Use 'Fantasia' instead of Fantasia Barrino?

 Done

• Unlink Catch Me, as there is no article about this song, and wikilinks should lead to the name of the article or a section of it.

 Done

• Consider removing Don Jazzy's (unnecessary detail).

 Done

• Brenda Pike - the journalist Brenda Pike? Amend the sentence to say this.if she is.

 Done

• Keith Harris, Derek Pate, Scott Coleman, Radar Ellis, and Darien Dorsey - I would describe them as 'the musicians Keith Harris, Derek Pate, Scott Coleman, Radar Ellis, and Darien Dorsey'.

 Done

• the remix of Flavour N'abania's "Oyi" - improve the prose by amending to 'the remix of "Oyi" byFlavour N'abania (and linking 'the remix of "Oyi" ').

 Done

• Osoroko - I wasn't sure where this place was. Amend to ' Osoroko, near xxx' (with xxx linked).

 Done I found a source that says it is a remote community in Lagos.

• Link For Coloured Girls; Breast cancer screening; social investment projects (Socially responsible investing; copyright violation (Copyright infringement);

 Done

• ...portraits of Congolese schoolgirls… link Congolese.

 Done

• Reference 14 (Nojustok) no longer works.

 Done I fixed the reference; it works now.

• Refs 8 / 9 (Ariya Today / Thisday) do not state her date of birth. As Reference 10 (Nigerian Music Network) gives, refs 8 and 9 can be removed.

 Done Both references are still needed; moved them to support different sentences in the article's body.

That's fine, thanks. ---Ami

• The second paragraph (Savage enrolled at ….) requires at least one citation.

 Done I added multiple sources to support this info.

• Reference 2 (Vogue) only refers to her 'new home' and so should't be used to cite the information in the sentence.

 Done I removed the Vogue source from the lede; The Vogue source does support the info in the lede and body. Savage, in her own words, said "I wanted to do Afrobeat so much because I saw how that industry was growing back home. I decided that I was going to give up everything and move back to Nigeria". This particular quote supports the Inspired by the growth of the Nigerian music industry, Savage moved back to Nigeria part of the sentence. The second reference supports the signed with Mavin Records in 2012 part of the sentence.

Understood. ---Ami

• Reference 19 (Business Day) no longer works.

 Done Replaced the Business Day source with a source that explicitly states her album being nominated for Best R&B/Pop Album.

• The song was the label's first collaborative release since Solar Plexus. - References 26 (Pulse) and 27 (Daily Times) don't appear to mention this.

 Done I removed the info; couldn't find a source to support it.

• ... and was uploaded onto Patroranking's Vevo account on 20 May 2014. - requires a citation.

 Done Removed info; I couldn't find a source to support it.

• Reference 31 (Osun Defender) doesn't cite the date (27 May 2014).

 Done I removed the Osun Defender source and added a different source.

• ...prompted a huge public backlash… - I think the reason for the backlash is worth mentioning here.

 Done I mentioned the reason.

• aforementioned is not needed, as it is clear who the artists being referred to are.

 Done

• ...the most-streamed album of all time on the music platform. - consider amending to 'the music platform's most-streamed album' to improve the prose.

 Done

• Mavin Records promoted the album by launching a meme generator through the website i-am-red.com. - imo this is too detailed for the article.

 Done I shortened it.

• Reference 42 (The Times) doesn't work.

 Done Ref now works.

• On 3 September 2017... - citation needed here.

 Done Removed date.

• From Savage released her debut EP Sugarcane… to Sugarcane was supported by two singles: "All Over" and "Ma Lo". - not cited.

 Done Removed.

• Reference 51 (TooXclusive) is dated Nov 15, 2018, but it doesn't provide the release date.

 Done Provided an iTunes source to verify its release date.

Personal life

• Remove Moreover, as it's not needed here.

 Done

• Reference 67 (Daily Times of Nigeria) not found.

 Done I fixed the ref. You will now be able to access it.

It didn't load, but I suspect it's my computer. -- Ami

• ...Six months later, Savage gave birth to their son… - see WP:LPNAME for why you need to remove their son's name.

 Done

Awards and nominations

• This section contains no text (see MOS:BODY for why I think it should). I would add the link 'Tiwa Savage discography' to the 'See also' section, as most of her awards have already been mentioned in the main article. The 'Awards and nominations' section can be deleted.

 Done I added both links to the see also section.

External links

• The link to the official website doesn't work.

 Done I changed the link to a link of her bio at Motown Records.

Other comments

• I'm unsure why the X Factor template at the bottom of the article is there, as Tiwa Savage's name doesn't appear in it.

 Done I removed it.

On hold

I've placed the article on hold until 23 November. Good work so far, Versace1608. Amitchell125 (talk) 13:56, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

@Amitchell125: All of the issues you've addressed have been fixed. Please let me know if you have any additional concerns, thanks.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 23:49, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

@Versace1608: Many thanks for all your work, I've checked through what you've done and it looks fine. I'll read through it again to check for minor things (like punctuation) before passing, but the article looks in great shape now. Not really sure why the review template has appeared, an editor took a bit of the infobox out, but it was easy to put it back in again. If the template hasn't gone in a few days, I'll contact an administrator about it. Thanks again for your patience and hard work. Amitchell125 (talk) 08:56, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Passed

Congratulations, passing now. Great article! Amitchell125 (talk) 09:12, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
