I'm Not Your Hero

edit
Nominator(s): 和DITOREtails 02:47, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"I'm Not Your Hero" is a song by Tegan and Sara off there critically-acclaimed Heartthrob. It did moderately on the Canadian and French charts. Writers who have reviewed the article have noticed its significant amount of effort that I put into this. I feel every bit of information necessary to this topic is included, and the writing is also great. Any comments are welcomed. 和DITOREtails 02:47, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

•"a total of eleven weeks" -> Consistency.
  • I just checked the group's page from Billboard.com showing their chart performances on the Canadian Hot 100, and oddly enough, the source now saids the song chart3e for only one week when it peaked at number 58, even though it had debuted on the chart of number 82 five weeks before without leaving once during those five weeks. This must have been an error of the source I initially used. I have replaced this source with a much more accurate Billboard.biz search showing the song lasted 13 weeks. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 21:40, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, you can bring this to WP:NFCR to determinate its status.

•Optional as well, but a sample of the song can be added as well, considering it can have value to the article.

These are all the issues I could find. Good work. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 04:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Famous Hobo

I'll take a look at this, in exchange for a peer review of "Help Is on the Way"

Lead

  • "I'm Not Your Hero" is a song by Canadian indie rock and indie pop duo Tegan and Sara. This is more of a personal preference, but is it possible to list just one genre? While artists can obviously vary in their musical style, they usually stay within one overarching genre, like rock or pop. From a quick listen to the actual song, it sounds more pop than rock. Besides, their About page says they bridge the pop and indie worlds. You can keep the sentence as is however, if you perfer.
  • Reviews were mostly positive upon release, with critics praising the songwriting and composition that is comparable to the works of Santigold, Fleetwood Mac and The Temper Trap. The second half of the sentence is worded awkwardly, try "with critics praising the songwriting, and comparing composition to that of Santigold, Fleetwood Mac and The Temper Trap." Also, you need to link all three artists/bands.

Production and composition

  • In November 2011, it was revealed on Tegan and Sara's official website that they were writing new material for their seventh studio album, with Tegan saying that "[we] are back in our home studios working away at more songs. Write Tegan's last name, Tegan Quinn.
  • The album was titled Heartthrob and recorded between February and May 2012. "I'm Not Your Hero" was written and performed by Tegan and Sara Quin. While it seems obvious, you should mention that "I'm Not Your Hero" was written for Heartthrob, because as it stands now, it talks about the album and the song as if they're unrelated.
  • ...while The A.V. Club's Annie Zaleski noted it to be in the style of British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Italicize The A.V. Club

That's all I could see, fix the issues and you've got yourself a support. Nice article all around. Famous Hobo (talk) 04:03, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, looks like everything has been taken care of (or at least what I could see. If there is still some things you still have to do, then disregard this message until it's completed). I made a small edit to the article, adding in the last name to the Punknews.org ref. Anyway, I can now give this a Support. Also, I'm not sure if this counts as a source review, but I went through all the refs (except for ref 3), and they're all faithful to the source. BTW, just gonna remind you of the little offer I threw out. Sorry to keep pressing, don't feel that your obligated to do it . Famous Hobo (talk) 15:18, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The prose is not up to FA standard. There are fused participles "with critics praising", "with Tegan saying", redundancy, "where it is listed as the fourth track" and clunky prose throughout. It needs a radical copy-edit. Graham Beards (talk) 19:08, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I suggest the nominator reads this. Graham Beards (talk) 23:53, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinator note: After more than two months, consensus to promote has not developed. Therefore, I will be archiving the nomination. --Laser brain (talk) 15:27, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
