Hi. Since you give comments on music-related articles that are listed at WP:PR and User:Noleander recommended you as a FA-expert, I was wondering if you could give some helpful comments to Wikipedia:Peer review/Cher/archive1? Thanks, Lordelliott (talk) 21:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lordelliott. Sure, I'll make some time to help out, thanks for asking. Cheers! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 21:20, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for helping! I'd like you to begin a new PR. Lordelliott (talk) 22:28, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I should have some time later tonight to start a PR. Cheers! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:31, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right! I've already replied to your comments on the PR. Lordelliott (talk) 17:55, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've made some valuable adds to the article (particularly the 1960s and 1970s subsections). Now I think we can continue to work on the PR, if you have time. Lordelliott (talk) 19:37, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. I'll have some time late tonight to continue the PR. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions. I will work on that soon. Lordelliott (talk) 05:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I totally agree with you, great advice. Lordelliott (talk) 06:44, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the barnstar! I must assume that my work editing Cher would be in vain without your excellent advices. I'm very happy to work with you. Lordelliott (talk) 17:01, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome! Thanks much for your patience with my review. I'm quite excited to see how tight this article will be when we finish! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:17, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Me too! Right now I can't work on the cite bundling because I don't know how to cite the refs that doesn't have an author. I will work on the image alt text. Thanks for asking User:Rothorpe to do some copy edit, his edits were very valuable. Not that I care that much, but I'm a Portuguese native speaker (not Spanish). :) Can't wait to return back to work on the article. Hope all is well with you too!

I'd like to know how to name the RIAA source, since it doesn't have a year and the publisher (Recording Industry Association of America) is linked on the source. Even when I remove the link, the naming doesn't work. Lordelliott (talk) 17:39, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, how do I name a source to the publisher when it is linked between [[ ]] on the ref? Lordelliott (talk) 17:41, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 61. Lordelliott (talk) 01:15, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man. Sorry for taking so long to reply to your suggestions. I'm pretty busy right now, but I will do my best to keep it in fast mode since the article is long and I don't want this peer review to last forever. Your suggestions are really helpful, thanks!! Lordelliott (talk) 19:17, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I will work on your new suggestions soon. Meanwhile, could you reply the questions I made on the PR? Lordelliott (talk) 01:10, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Happy new year for you too! Thanks for helping me with your superb advices. Lordelliott (talk) 06:40, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much. I'll add some comments now. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:23, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The "high lifestyle" and the Garret vs Sonny ones. Lordelliott (talk) 00:24, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm really no good with alt text. I could easily describe the pictures in my native language, but my English skills are limited to the basic. I will try to add alt text for every image, but surely I will need some help. Lordelliott (talk) 03:44, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• You'll improve, don't worry. Practice is the only way to learn. I'll follow-up and take a look at each one you add. I wasn't any good at alt text at first either, but it needs to be done to meet the FAC criteria. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 03:48, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I think we can continue the PR while I try to add alt text to every image on the article. Lordelliott (talk) 19:37, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I'll have a new batch of comments for you soon. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 07:29, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When I was at school, I was taught, with grammar, that fullstops inside quotation marks should only occur when the complete sentence is a quotation - otherwise the fullstop should always be made outside the quotation mark. If you feel that I have done the wrong thing, then editing out what I have done should be easy - all that is needed to be done is to go to the edit prior to my first edit regarding this, to undo mine, and then it will be as though my edits never happened.

You may well be correct about this and I would hate to undue all your work if you are. Perhaps, this discussion should occur at MOS:LQ. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:17, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, would you be willing to ping me when you think you're done addressing JG66's comments? I'm eager to review the article but I feel like I should wait until those changes go through. --Laser brain (talk) 15:45, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is a missing bracket in the article and I haven't a clue where it should go. The text, where the beginning bracket starts:

{{refn|group=nb|The ''Sgt. Pepper'' cover piqued a frenzy of analysis.<ref>{{harvnb|Gould|2007|pp=391–395}}: The ''Sgt. Pepper'' cover attracted curiosity and analysis; {{harvnb|Miles|1997|p=333}}: On McCartney's....

Fixed. Thanks for the note! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:42, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I was wondering if you could lend your expertise to a content dispute. I'm having a disagreement with an editor at Talk:The Weeknd#Music... over whether an addition is trivial or not to a musician BLP article. Should the editor's addition of a song accolade and description be distributed to the associated album article, House of Balloons, or to the recording artist's article, The Weeknd, where it doesnt seem to have any biographical relevance (in my opinion)? Feel free to comment here or at Talk:The Weeknd#Music.... Dan56 (talk) 17:48, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
