It's sad that you've had to wait so long for a review, here. Especially as you've reviewed my articles in the past, I'm happy to take a look. J Milburn (talk) 15:27, 5 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Is "Huffer" worth a redlink? If it's notable, don't be scared to link.
 * "Lyrically, one interviewer in 2002 described "Son of Three" as "motorific", noting the numerous references to driving in the song and throughout the Title TK album." This is not what "lyrically" means. To "lyrically describe" is to describe in a lyrical way. You mean "The lyrics were described"- just say that!
 * "Contactmusic.com describes the single version of "Son of Three" as "special"," Avoid personification
 * Could we have tracktimes in the tracklisting? You could also include writer details. Template:Tracklisting is good, and certainly worth including here.
 * Nice referencing style. The Fortunato 2002 link doesn't work and should be fixed, but, in fact, I'm not convinced that it's a reliable source- it just looks like a blog to me. I could quibble with some formatting, but this is GAC, not FAC, so I'll leave that.
 * The rationale on the sample is pretty lacking. While it's justified, it should have a stronger rationale.

Very nice. Great research. Mostly very good sources. The writing is generally GAC-worthy. God knows why you've had to wait this long for a review! J Milburn (talk) 15:49, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

JMilburn, thank you so much for taking on this review. I will address your points below:
 * I don't think "Huffer" is worth a redlink at this time. It used to have its own article, but the Wiki community seems to have decided it is not notable, and has redirected it to Title TK. I see from its history that the "Huffer" article was only a couple of sentences long.
 * I have changed "lyrically ... described" to "described the lyrics as".
 * I have add "reviewer" to the Contactmusic.com mentions to avoid personification.
 * I have added the tracklisting template with song lengths and writer details per your suggestion.
 * Minor point: I have fixed the internal link for the Fortunato ref. More major issue, about the possible non-reliability of Fortunato: well, it is true that the site may have some elements of being a blog. It does, however, include exclusive interviews, such as the Kelley Deal one I refer to—does that give it any validity? If you feel relatively strongly that it should go, I don't mind removing it. This would mean removing the very brief analysis of the lyrics of "Son of Three" and the mention that it was a European single. Just let me know what you think.
 * I've added some to the rationale. Is this better? If not, do you have suggestions on what else you would like to see there? Moisejp (talk) 19:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Ok- I've redone the rationale, and I'm now promoting the article. Great work! J Milburn (talk) 21:01, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
