GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Reviewer:  Gongshow  Talk 01:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * In the lead: "...was written by Cyrus", and later in the "Background" section, and again in the audio caption, Cyrus is credited as the sole writer. These instances should be perhaps be changed to "co-written", as the song's infobox indicates there are two other writers.
 * In the "Background" section: "Cyrus later recorded the song for her debut album, Meet Miley Cyrus." - The source provided shows information on the "Artist Karaoke Series: Miley Cyrus" album. Maybe this album is what the prose was meant to reference?
 * In the "Critical reception" section: "Heather Phares of Allmusic stated that since Cyrus did not make a memorable impression in the first Hannah Montana soundtrack as herself, the voice change Cyrus used to differentiate herself from her television character worked well" - This sentence is really an overall comment on the album as a whole, not "I Miss You". I would remove this.


 * B. MoS compliance:
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. References to sources:
 * B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
 * C. No original research:
 * In the "Critical reception" section: "Joseph P. Kahn of the Boston Globe mentioned that the song "surpass[es] much of what's heard on Radio Disney" - Kahn only noted parenthetically that Cyrus writes songs, including "I Miss You". The comment about "surpassing much of what's heard on Radio Disney" refers to "her tunes". This should be removed from the article.
 * "Maitland McDonagh of TV Guide described the song as 'a vague rocker-chick grab' that showed how much she loved her grandfather." The "vaguely rocker-chick garb" refers to her clothing in-concert, so for commentary on "I Miss You", the reviewer only says that "she sings about...how much she loved her grandfather".

 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * I'm also concerned that the reviews in the "Critical reception" section amount to, at best, three one-liners. I recommend adding more commentary from critics - by quantity and/or quality.
 * This has been brought to my attention several times but what can I do if there is no coverage of it? Nothing more exists. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 02:10, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * B. Focused:
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
 * No image available. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 02:11, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That's okay, just wanted to make sure.  Gongshow  Talk 00:02, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

I have made some minor edits to the article, mostly for small cleanup and/or to tighten up sentences which came across to me as unfocused or excessively wordy. Let me know if you have any questions.  Gongshow  Talk 01:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The issues have been resolved. While I would have liked to have seen more coverage for the song, the article is sufficiently broad (addressing the song's main points), and also meets the other GA criteria. Congrats!  Gongshow  Talk 05:17, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
