Hello! I'll be taking a look at this article for the January 2022 GAN backlog drive. If you haven't already signed up, please feel free to join in! Although QPQ is not required, if you're feeling generous, I also have a list of GA nominations of my own right here.

Infobox and lede

 * Don't love "happy" in quotes per MOS:QUOTEPOV; is there a synonym that wouldn't dilute the intended meaning?

Characteristics

 * "mid 1960s" "mid-1960s"

Scope and recognition

 * "coined the term"
 * ""blissful indifference,"" ""blissful indifference"," per MOS:LQ

1960s: Origins and precursors

 * Link "jangly" to Jangle
 * Also link rockabilly and doo-wop

1970s: Emergence

 * It's repeated twice almost verbatim that the Raspberries were the only band to have hit singles in this section; one should be removed or rephrased. I would probably take out the second-paragraph reference since it's in the middle of a larger section on Badfinger, whereas the last para is about the Raspberries

1970s-1980s: Commercial peak and decline

 * Good

1980s-1990s: Alternative rock

 * Comma after "Redd Kross and the Spongetones" that should probably be a period
 * The "the" in Los Angeles Times does not need to be capitalized or italicized
 * And unfortunately, per MOS:'S, it should be "Times's"

1990s-2010s: Continued interest

 * Good

General comments

 * Images and audio clips are properly licensed and relevant
 * No stability concerns in the revision history
 * Earwig score is artificially inflated by direct quotes & proper nouns, no obvious problems once the actual text is checked

Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. Feel free to ping me with questions, and let me know when you're finished. —  Ghost River  16:36, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * On hold for a week with no response and no changes to the article, so unfortunately I'm going to have to fail this one. You or anyone else is, of course, welcome to resubmit. —  Ghost River  17:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)


 * ✅ Sorry I've been very busy and haven't been able to get around to this until just now. ili (talk) 18:30, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
