GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * B. MoS compliance:
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. References to sources:
 * B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
 * Im sorry but how can you not find it? It is present in the book at page 118. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 13:35, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. I found it this time. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 15:54, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * C. No original research:
 * The line in the "Recording" section ran "An astounded Bettis went over to Lind's house, ultimately giving a warm welcome..." Its not wP:OR. If you want I can send you scans of the books, Im definitely not interpreting any of it. For the "Papa Don't Preach" quote, there is a book cite present. All the quotes have book references. Im not exactly sure what you are referring to. --Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 13:35, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I just can't find that phrase about being astounded, or warmly receiving the record in the google books preview. If you can tell me exactly what the source says, though, I'll accept it.  I'm thinking it might be better to put those phrases in quote, maybe, since they are somewhat loaded terms.  I don't think it's encyclopedic to say someone was astounded. EDIT: Fixed.

 * As for the quotes from the live performance, my confusion comes from the fact that initially, it sounds like you're referring to the entire tour, as far as how she performed the song, but then it sounds like you're mentioning a specific one, without any transition or explanation. I think it would be better to change it to say that she always threw her shirt into the audience and said some variation on fans sticking with her for 20 years, as I found multiple versions of that quote in the source.

 * <S><B>EDIT:</B> I looked again in Google books, and here is a screen shot of page 607, which is the page you used for reference #3 here. I see "Crazy for You" on the chart, but I don't see anything about her in the text.

 * The page number is definitely wrong Torchiest. Please bear with me as I am not editing that much nowadays (Hospitalised). Will change it in some days. I just ask of some time. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 06:00, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry to hear that. Don't worry, I know you're a great editor, and I had no plans of failing this without giving you plenty of time to address the problem. <B>Torchiest</B> (talk | contribs) 12:45, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I found it. The page number was 606. Here is the screenshot. I will go ahead and change it. Sorry for the inconvenience. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 11:38, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Everything has been addressed except for the one point about her live performances. I bolded it above. Just to clarify, there are two points. One, there is some confusion about whether you're referring to a series of performances, or just one particular performance. Two, I can't find that exact quote about fans being with her 20 years, although I can find a number of variations. I would suggest generalizing the information, as you did at first by saying she <I>usually</I> wore certain shirts. Continue by saying she usually would thank her fans of 20 years, and usually threw her shirt into the audience. If you want to have a specific quote, that's fine too, but you need to explain which live performance it was from. I personally think a general idea of multiple performances would be better, but it's your choice. <B>Torchiest</B> (talk | contribs) 12:42, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bearing with me. I tweaked it a little. Check out. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 12:57, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and edited it a little more. The grammar was not correct in the quote, so I removed the quotation marks and fixed it.  The article is ready to pass now!  Congrats! <B>Torchiest</B> (talk | contribs) 13:12, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
