The list is well sourced and includes songs from all Margaret's albums + other notable songs she recorded during her career. If anyone has any suggestions how it can be improved please let me know. Looking forward to reading your comments. ArturSik (talk) 22:47, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments from Aoba47 edit

  • I have a suggestion for this sentence: "The majority of her repertoire is in English, which she attributed partly to the fact that her songs sound better when sung in that language". I know what you mean by "repertoire", but I think it would be best to just say "music" and be more direct in this context.
  • I have a comment for this sentence: "Before her mainstream debut, Margaret recorded songs for television commercials, and released an independent album with her band Margaret J. Project called This Is Margaret (2012)." In the main Margaret article, the band is referenced as "the Margaret J. Project" so I would change either instance for consistency (i.e. depending on whether "the" should be included or not).
  • I would avoid using "the singer" in the lead. It is more of a stylistic and personal judgement, but I agree with the essay, Wikipedia:The problem with elegant variation, that it can sound somewhat awkward. Just wanted to raise that point, but if you would prefer to keep the current phrasing, then that is also fine by me.
  • The phrase "extended play" is wikilinked twice in the lead. After the introduction of the EP acronym, I would be consistent with just using that for the rest of the lead.
  • For this part "All songs from All I Need were later included on her debut studio album Add the Blonde released in 2014.", I would say "All the songs" instead of "All songs".
  • I would revise this sentence, "Some songs, including the album's third single "Heartbeat", were co-written by Margaret.", to something like the following, "Margaret co-wrote some songs, including the album's third single "Heartbeat". I am suggesting this to avoid having two sentences in a row start with a similar beginning, and I would imagine that emphasis should be put on Margaret writing these songs anyway.
  • I have a comment about this sentence, "The album was reissued in 2016 and contained new songs "Cool Me Down", "Elephant", and a cover of Robin Beck's song "First Time" titled "Smak radości" recorded for Polish Coca-Cola commercial.". The last part about the Beck cover reads rather awkwardly to me so I would recommend looking back on it.
  • For this sentence "It contained first two original Polish-language songs recorded by her, "Byle jak" and "Nie chce".", I would remove "recorded by her" as it can be assumed from context.
  • For this part "Most songs on the record were co-written by Margaret.", I think it would read better to say "A majority of the record" or something similar.
  • I have a suggestion for the chart. I have seen similar lists use "Non-album single" for instances in which a song is not released on an album as opposed to "None". I do not think it matters either way so it is up to you, but I just wanted to raise that point with you.
  • Would it be beneficial to add some images next to the table? I have seen featured lists on this topic do that.
  • I do not think the acoustic versions of songs should marked twice in the chart. I would instead put that information in a footnote.

I hope my comments are helpful. Once they are addressed, I will read through the list another time and most likely support it for promotion. Have a great weekend. Aoba47 (talk) 02:27, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • For this part (Margaret co-wrote some songs, including the album's third single "Heartbeat"), I would clarify the exact number of songs that she co-wrote for the album rather than using some.
  • For this part (as well as Margaret's Polish-language version of Robin Beck's song "First Time" titled "Smak radości" which was used in Polish Coca-Cola commercial), it should either be "Polish Coca-Cola commercials" or "a Polish Coca-Cola commercial".
  • For this part (It contained the first two original Polish-language songs, "Byle jak" and "Nie chce".), I would replace "the" with "her".
  • I would add a citation for this part of the image caption (He co-wrote some of her most successful songs including "Wasted", "Cool Me Down", "What You Do" and "In My Cabana".) to support the information about the songs' commercial success.

Thank you for addressing my comments. Once everything has been addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. Have a great rest of your day! Aoba47 (talk) 20:53, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Aoba47 thanks for your comments. it's all done now. I removed the informations about the songs' commercial success as I didn't find a specific source. when i was writing it I just looked at the songs' chart positions but i guess that's not enough. either way it's all sorted. thanks again and best wishes.

  • Thank you for addressing everything. If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate any input on my current FAC. Either way, I support this for promotion. Have a great rest of your week. Aoba47 (talk) 02:18, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aoba47 thank you so much. I will have a look at your article by the end of the week. best wishes. ArturSik (talk) 20:42, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from ChrisTheDude edit

  • In addition to Aoba's comments above......
  • "Polish singer and songwriter Margaret recorded songs" - as her career isn't over (a far as I can see), this should be "Polish singer and songwriter Margaret has recorded songs"
  • "recorded in a collaboration" => "recorded in collaboration"
  • "It contained first two original" => "It contained the first two original"

  • Aoba47 and ChrisTheDude: thank you for your comments. I think I've addressed all of them. please let me know if there's anything else. best wishes. ArturSik (talk) 15:14, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from zmbro

Always love seeing other songs lists. Just a few things:

  • Make sure all images have alt text (Margaret's photo does but the other don't)
  • Don't think the Ś is needed in the content box but that's my opinion
  • I would change "Album(s)" to "Release(s)", especially since some listed are tv series and films
  • Going along with the previous point, I would list which ones are those (i.e. Smurfs: The Lost Village (film))

Rest looks good. Great job to you :-) – zmbro (talk) 04:22, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – All good for me. – zmbro (talk) 02:00, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Source review passed; would be nice to have English translations of the Polish source titles (via |trans-title=), but that's not a requirement as far as I'm aware. Promoting. --PresN 05:41, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
