Hello! I'll take up this review. I am about to eat lunch (12:50 p.m. my local time), so I will leave opening comments in a few hours ‍ ‍ elias. 🧣 ‍  ‍ 💬reach out to me 📝see my work 04:50, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking up this review! In case you need them, there are 2 offline sources in this article that are available online: Media notes (ref 1) and Love Rock Revolution (ref 2; free to borrow on Open Library). — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 03:48, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Okay @PerfectSoundWhatever as I promised, I'll do the opening comments today ‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍  ‍ 💬 "O Goldwing'd messenger..." 📝 "...of mighty gods."  18:24, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Article history is stable, that's good
 * There are two images - one is the non-free cover art, which is appropriately tagged with a FUR, and the other is a photo of a recording studio licensed under CC-BY 2.0. Uses are appropriate
 * References look reliable for GA
 * This touches all the essential aspects of the album that I expect an album article to discuss - background, music and lyrics, and critical reception. Sufficiently satisfies the "broad in its coverage" criteria
 * No glaring copyright violations detected according to Earwig. Plagiarism is not really an issue. However, quotes are abound; some of them are used well and properly attributed, but others may need tweaking.
 * For example, who said the " unlike a 'real studio' " quote? Was it the book author, was it Elverum?
 * ✅, thanks, that part wasn't needed anyways. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 21:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Lots of these short quotes can be paraphrased, such as "cryptic" or "incredible balance" or "mastery"
 * Mostly ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 21:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Not sure why the one footnote (the vendor listing one) is necessary. Also, try to keep external links out of the "Notes" section because these should be in an External links section - would suggest delinking that part if you don't intend to remove the footnote entirely
 * ✅, in retrospect, it was unnecessary. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 21:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The catalog number detail might be too much for a lead. To be honest I don't even know if it's necessary to include in the article at all - none of the album articles I know do this. Release date and labels are enough
 * , removed from lead, but I see no reason to remove it from the article. I'm not sure about this, but from what I can tell, releasing albums under incremental catalog numbers is uncommon, and maybe more associated with independent labels, which would make sense why most album articles don't have them. —  PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 21:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Catalog numbers can be listed in a Release history section at the bottom of the article, as seen in many album articles, including this one: Won (As Friends Rust album). They do not belong in the lead nor in the main article itself.  Bricks&#38;Wood  talk 22:26, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That's how it is at the moment, only in "Release history" and the infobox, so should be good. Thanks for the information. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:32, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll allow this
 * I maintain that "Legacy" can be merged into the "critical reception" section. I feel like having an entire section named "legacy" might give viewers who first see the table of contents the impression that the album had a large impact on society and music industry as a whole - which is what these sections usually set out to discuss - even though this isn't really the case. See also WP:DUE
 * ❌, there are 2 main ideas in the "Legacy" section: the label set a new precedent for K Records since he created something innovative despite his low-fidelity equipment which others in the label were using, and that he gained a small following after the album. Neither were said by music critics—a music critic is used to support the second point but it originates from the book—and neither are criticisms or analyzations of the album. I see no reason why that prose would belong in the critical reception section. Yes, it's a small legacy, but readers can asses that for themselves by reading the section or the lead. I'm open to renaming the section, but the prose doesn't belong in any other section of the article. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 21:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright then, consider myself satisfied with this concern

@PerfectSoundWhatever, I'll be taking a look at the prose and see which parts need editing for clarity, if there are any ‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍  ‍ 💬 "What did I tell you?" <sub style="font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">📝 "Don't get complacent..." 17:33, 23 July 2022 (UTC)


 * "release of the debut album by D+" this is clunky. Is this supposed to mean "with the release of D+'s debut album"?
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You can split the clause about the D+ band members into its own sentence. " D+'s debut album—a band comprising himself..." makes it sound like a debut album is a band
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 14:41, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * " Phil Elverum became associated with K Records with the release of ... which was released on K Records" I am sure it is possible to reword everything in here without the repetition. Also you're missing a period
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Who is Calvin Johnson supposed to be? An introductory phrase before the first mention of his name would be nice
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You introduce Johnson and Elverum with the full name twice
 * I was under the impression that you put their full name for the first time it appears in each paragraph, because you don't assume each reader reads every paragraph in order. I don't know if there's any precedent on this, couldn't find anything in the MOS. Do you know of anything?
 * MOS:SURNAME says After the initial mention, a person should generally be referred to by surname only. I interpret the "initial mention" to apply to the whole prose. Though of course, MOS:SURNAME is not listed as something GAs should fulfil, so I'll instead approach this from the perspective of conciseness: each section isn't that long, so we can reasonably assume that readers can just scroll up if they read the article midway and are confused as to what surnames refer to which person. Hence, to cut the word count for conciseness, you can remove any subsequent mention of the first names
 * Fair enough, ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 14:41, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "where he experimented" with what? Experimented with how to do production, for example?
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "Elverum adopted the name, the Microphones," this could use a little more context. Did the Microphones used to refer only to Elverum before the band expanded, did he adopt the name for a group of people with whom he was associated?
 * ✅. Afaik, the Microphones didn't really function as a "band". Elverum usually wrote and produced most of the stuff, and the other members usually did extra vocals or instrumentation. I'm pretty sure the initial cassette releases were just him, with other people as guests but not "band members," so I just added "First as a solo project". — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This is somewhat nitpicky (nitpicks? in a GA review? gasp) but the sentence structure of "First as a solo project, Elverum adopted the name, the Microphones," makes it unclear what the solo project is. Is it Elverum? Is it the band? The answer is obvious, of course - I would rewrite this to "Elverum started the band the Microphones as a solo project"
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 14:41, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "The studios in which ... was recorded in" last 'in' is redundant
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "which also lacked high-fidelity equipment during recording ... The studios in which Don't Wake Me Up was recorded in lacked high-fidelity recording equipment." These are in two separate sections. I feel as though both sentences just say the same thing - can one of these go?
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The quotes about the studio might belong better in the first paragraph, just after the article describes the recording location for the album. Similarly, everything in the first paragraph from "The album was primarily written and composed by the band's frontman ..." might be better for the second paragraph? Since this deals with his experiences while recording the album, which fits well with the sentences about his being away from home or his nightowl proclivities
 * Sorta ✅, except I didn't follow your suggestions. Instead I made "Background" to only cover events before the album's recording, and "Recording" to cover the studios and events during recording. —  PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Will comment on the "Music and lyrics", "Legacy", and "Critical reception" sections at a later time

@PerfectSoundWhatever ping. Finished work on another wikipedia project, so I can finally return to reviewing this

 * The critical reception section is pretty balanced and represents all the relevant POVs
 * I'm not sure if the cited sources support calling this album lo-fi rock - Allmusic does not explicitly state that DWMU is that genre ("moves between gritty lo-fi rock and droning, spacy ..."), and Pitchfork describes the track "Ocean" as lo-fi rock, not the album.
 * ❌ for now. Hmm, I see your point, but I don't think I agree. I removed the Pitchfork cite, it definitely doesn't verify the genre, good catch. The Allmusic statement is as follows: Don't Wake Me Up moves between gritty lo-fi rock and droning, spacy constructions. I don't interpret this as DWMU has elements of "lo-fi rock" and "droning, spacy constructions", rather, that the album is comprised of those two. Because it's "moved between", to me it implies there are two things that it oscillates between sounding like, but it is never not one of those 2 things. Genre warrior is an essay, not a guideline or policy. The only policy that WP:EXPLICITGENRE links to is WP:SYNTH, which is completely unrelated. Synthesis is the combination of multiple sources, we're talking about the interoperation of a single one. Thoughts? — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 20:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a confusing choice then. From this quote, you put drone (i.e. "droning, spacy constructions") as a stylistic element of the album, but "lo-fi rock" is a solid genre label to use? Plus "moves between" implies only a couple tracks are lo-fi rock and the others give more droney vibes. Hence you listen to one song and it feels lo-fi rock, then you move onto the next tracks and it's droney, then another track and boom more lo-fi rock. And yes, we're not dealing with multiple sources here, but the essay also cites OR in general as a reason why genre attributions must be explicit. Absence of OR is a GA criteria, and just because a page is an essay does not preclude its points from being valid :shrug: <b style="border-radius:3em;padding:4px;background:#926f52;color:white;">‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ </b> ‍ <span style="display:inline-block;margin-bottom:-0.3em;vertical-align:-0.4em;line-height:1.2em;font-size:80%;text-align:left"><sup style="font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">💬 "What did I tell you?"
 * Firstly, "droning, spacy constructions" isn't explicitly a genre, but "lo-fi rock" is, which is why I used them as such. I understand your dislike of the inconsistency between using lo-fi rock as a genre but not droning, so I will remove "drone" as a stylistic element. You say that "'moves between'" implies only a couple tracks are lo-fi rock and the others give more droney vibes", but how? The statement is essentially: "the album moves between X and Y". To me this implies a rough 50-50 split, since how else do you interpret it. You say a the source signifies a "couple" (a small number) of the tracks are lo-fi rock, how are you coming to that conclusion when the quote gives equal weight to both? I dislike squabbling and splitting hairs over minor things, so if you still disagree, ask for a third opinion please. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 05:35, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @PerfectSoundWhatever ping again! Sorry, I really wanted to respond sooner but my parents got covid, so this went off my radar for a bit... Anyways, your interpretation of the "moves between" quote makes sense to me, and now I get the purpose of the citation. + I try my best not to get too deep into the nitpicking; I'm real damn sorry this got to that point.
 * I would say, the Exclaim source seems pretty solid to support that lo-fi rock categorization. Wouldn't hurt to add it, I say. Though to be clear, I'm fine with using the Allmusic source for this, now.

 * The comma after "Florida Beach" isn't necessary, I feel. Also since the article for Mellotron treats it as a proper noun, you should probably capitalize the first letter
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 20:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "which Scheiber describes ... which transitions into" repetitive. Might I suggest "...which Scheiber describes as 'relaxed' and 'sighing'. The track transitions into 'Where It's Hotter (Part 3)'." with the wikilink?
 * ✅, except Transition (music) is a bit too MOS:OL for me. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 20:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikilink "textures" to Texture (music) for unfamiliar readers
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 20:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "Both of the preceding tracks" simplify to "Both tracks"? I think readers can easily tell what "both tracks" is referring to.
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 20:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Legacy section looks fine prose-wise
 * "Abebe writes" this should be in past tense
 * ✅, not sure why I do that. A bunch of other instances I had to fix. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 20:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Is it really necessary to spell out the genre classification of the album in the critical reception? You already did this in the composition section.
 * ✅, all the stuff about genres moved to the "Music and Lyrics" section. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 20:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "In AsleepInTheBack of Sputnikmusic's 2017 review" -> "In AsleepInTheBack's 2017 review for Sputnikmusic"
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 20:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Track listing, personnel, and release history sections look alright

a/b - verified

c - verified

d - good

a - good

b/c - Good. But I'd say the correct page to cite for the band lineup is p. 228 - this quote "When Bret became more serious about D+, Denise [left] and Bret invited Phil [...] and Karl Blau" can be found on that page and supports the statement better. Additionally, this is more of a prose thing, but I would put more clarity on the fact that Elverum just joined D+ shortly before the debut album's release. "Phil Elverum joined the band D+—then comprised of himself, Karl Blau, and Bret Lunsford[2]:228—and with K Records upon their releasing of the band's debut album.[2]:229"
 * ✅ rephrashed, but not as your suggestion. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

d - Mostly good. Did Johnson directly join D+ during the tour performances? If not, we can reword to "After D+ embarked on a cross-country tour"
 * Apologies, but you forgot to reply to this
 * Sorry, forgot about this. Calvin Johnson did not tour with D+ to my knowledge. "After touring with D+," referred to Elverum. This was not clear so I've adjusted it. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 15:39, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

e - Good

f - Somewhat okay. Also, again, more prose-wise, but "began the musical project ... initially as a solo project" is repetitive and I would reword. "started the band the Microphones as a solo project" perhaps?
 * The Microphones barely functions/functioned as a "band". Don't really need the "musical project" qualifier so I just removed it. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

g - Okay

h - Verified. Just to make sure, do we know what studio Johnson was referring to? Because the album was recorded in two studios
 * I'm quite sure it was Dub Narcotic, but don't know if the book explicitly says that somewhere (I think you'd have to synthesize different sections of the book since Johnson doesn't state which studio at the quote.). Besides, reader doesn't really need that information badly, and don't want to add OR by adding that. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

i/j - Okay, but reword "due to Elverum's high-quality production" per MOS:WORDSTOWATCH. This makes it sound like we're praising the album production in Wikipedia's voice
 * . I struggled with that wording. Do you have a better idea on how to express the statement? I don't know how else to say that the production was of high-quality as in the perceived amount of good it is, but not high-fidelity as in audio quality, while still not adding any WP:OR. The book material the statement paraphrases runs from "The record set a new pre..." to "...accepted despite it". — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have been more specific. "due to what they perceived as high-quality production from Elverum" is my first thought
 * ✅ Works for me, except I c/e'd it a bit for conciseness. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 18:20, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

k - Great

a - Remove studio from the quote to avoid repetition. Again, do we know what studio here is being referred to?
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

b - Great, though I'm not sure Elverum wrote/transcribed his interview answers
 * ✅ Changed to "stating". — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

c/d/e - Verified

[4] - Good; opinion is clearly attributed to author

[5a] - Still reticent about this lo-fi rock categorization per above. If a better source can be found for this then this can stay
 * Will reply above —  PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

[5b] - Verified

[5c] - Quote is clearly attributed to author; verified.

[5d] - Verified

[5e]/[5f] - Verified, opinion is clearly attributed to author

a/b/c - Verified

d - Great! Though note the repetition with "mix ... mixing"
 * ❌, changing words just because they repeat usually is just a detriment to clarify and conciseness, see WP:ELEVAR for the argument.
 * ... no? I fail to see how this applies? ELEVAR is for things like "Elverum recorded songs for his project... The Anacortes native released Tests on so-and-so date" where, if readers read two sentences together without context, they'd struggle to piece together that, for example, Elverum and "the Anacortes native" refer to the same person. "It can confuse readers who are unaware, for example, that the Pope is the Bishop of Rome." Plus, I was not suggesting to change words anyway. I would have preferred removing "describing it as a mixture" because it just repeats the earlier phrase "called the mix of genres". Per the essay you cite, "the real cause of repetitive prose [...] is usually repeated information"
 * Elegant variation is the use of "one word for another for the sake of variety", which includes substituting proper nouns like Elevrum/The Anacortes native, but also normal words too: see the first example on WP:ELEVAR that uses fire/blaze. My impression is that you had a problem with the use of "mix" and "mixing" since they're the same word. If this is not what you intended, be more explicit. I like when GA reviews give changes in a format of "Change 'X' to 'Y'" due to its clarity. Communicate your changes properly so you don't confused/annoyed when I don't understand. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 05:25, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @PerfectSoundWhatever: yes, your impression would be correct. And I believe I did make a suggestion in the format in question - I suggested to remove "describing it as a mixture" from the sentence.
 * Sorry, don't know how I missed that you listed the change. I'm fine with that change, now ✅.

e - Good. Wikilink vocal harmony and bass for unfamiliar readers - be careful with wikilinking bass as it can refer to lots of things in music
 * the source doesn't specify whether "bass" refers to just low frequencies, electric bass, acoustic bass, double bass, etc. Besides, if it is electric bass, that's such a common instrument I wouldn't link it per MOS:OL. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

f - Verified

g - Good. Would replace "snippet" with "sample" to prevent close paraphrasing at the very least. Plus enclose the song title in quotes
 * ❌ "snippet" is more concise since it provides more information than "sample" does, "snippet" implies the briefness. paraphrasing a single word is inevitable and not a big deal. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

h/i - Good

j/k - Verified, opinions are properly attributed

a/b/c - Good, but reword "Sputnikmusic wrote" to the actual author name
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

d - Verified

e - Ditto with a/b/c. You can enclose the adjectives used in quotes because the source uses those exact words
 * ✅ — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 04:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

f/g - Verified.

h/i - Verified, but the statements cited are just restating the analysis of the lyrics in the composition section. I find the last 5 sentences in that review pretty insightful commentary for the album. If you can replace the aforementioned statements with a paraphrased version of the last 5 sentences, that will be amazing

I don't know what's happening with Wikipedia on my end but I tried this two times and the ping didn't go through 😭😭 <b style="border-radius:3em;padding:4px;background:#926f52;color:white;">‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ </b> ‍ <span style="display:inline-block;margin-bottom:-0.3em;vertical-align:-0.4em;line-height:1.2em;font-size:80%;text-align:left"><sup style="font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">💬 "What did I tell you?"
 * Haha that's odd. Don't worry about it too much though, I have this page on my watchlist and check it frequently —  PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 15:39, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @PerfectSoundWhatever Hello! I've done a readthrough of the prose, and to close it off, I made some necessary copyedits etc. Here's a diff so you can review the changes and tweak/revert when necessary. There are no more outstanding issues with sourcing, and I feel that the prose is already up to GA quality. I will be passing soon, but please tell me if the final copyedits are good to go before I do so <b style="border-radius:3em;padding:4px;background:#926f52;color:white;">‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ </b> ‍ <span style="display:inline-block;margin-bottom:-0.3em;vertical-align:-0.4em;line-height:1.2em;font-size:80%;text-align:left"><sup style="font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">💬 "What did I tell you?"
 * Thank you! All the copyedits look good, just some minor stuff I corrected:
 * the source doesn't explicitly say they were impressed, just noting that it exists. I used a wordier, but more accurate, "described".
 * I think this is just a subjective thing but I would much rather have every statement cited. It's more clear, because a editor doing a cursory look won't be able to tell if the one reference is for the whole paragraph, or just one sentence, and the rest need cn's. (also WP:CITEVAR sorta applies here) — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 17:47, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright then! Thank you for letting me know. With that out of the way, this is a ✅ from me <b style="border-radius:3em;padding:4px;background:#926f52;color:white;">‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ </b> ‍ <span style="display:inline-block;margin-bottom:-0.3em;vertical-align:-0.4em;line-height:1.2em;font-size:80%;text-align:left"><sup style="font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">💬 "What did I tell you?"
