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.

Background

 * "On October 2011" "In October 2011" or add the exact date ✅
 * "the Madonna fansite DrownedMadonna"
 * It's redundant to say it's a Madonna fansite when the title clearly says it
 * You do need to introduce the name of the artist with an appropriate link, though.


 * "confirmed fake" "confirmed to be fabricated" ✅
 * No comma after "along with her choreographers" ✅
 * "30%" "30 percent" per MOS:PERCENT ✅

Conception and rehearsals

 * This time was referred to by Fogel "This time" reads as vague ✅
 * Similarly, "it" in it would be divided into four different thematic acts – the whole tour, with different legs showing each of these themes, or would all four be present in each individual performance?
 * The concert was divided into four thematic acts.


 * "Slackliner Andy Lewis was asked by Madonna" "Madonna asked Slackliner Andy Lewis" for active voice ✅
 * "the official one" "the official list" ✅
 * Comma after "Córdoba, Argentina" per MOS:GEOCOMMA ✅

Stage and costume design

 * Don't love the use of "innovative" in quotes per MOS:QUOTEPOV ✅
 * Use the conversion template for the various measurements in this section like "8ft"
 * "could still be able" "would still be able" ✅
 * "eight costumes changes" "eight costume changes" ✅

Multimedia and video

 * Not sure why years are in parentheses after only some of the songs, and they shouldn't be used anyway, since it describes her performing them live, not the recording ✅
 * Missing quotation mark in "Gang Bang" ✅
 * "vice" in "vice presidential" should be lowercase ✅
 * Unclear how the one visual is a "deliberate shot" at Lady Gaga ✅

Concert synopsis

 * Jumbled present/past tense throughout section ✅
 * "cabaret" should be lowercase ✅

Middle East and Europe

 * "On his review of opening night" "In his review of the opening night performance" ✅
 * Comma after "praised the "visually dazzling" concert" ✅
 * You only need to include surnames after the name is first introduced ✅
 * Watch for MOS:DUPLINKs in this section, particularly for song titles that were linked above ✅

America

 * What is "it" in "deemed it ambitious", the whole tour or the individual performance? ✅
 * "also calling out" "also critiquing" ✅

Commercial reception

 * More precise measurement for "right after" – same night? Within hours? Minutes? After her Super Bowl performance or after the whole event?
 * That's how the source mentions it: Madonna's going on the road, and those tickets will go on sale right after the Super Bowl I have modified it; let me know if that works


 * "with some premium packages cost" "while some premium packages cost" OR "with some premium packages costing" ✅
 * "A.M." "a.m." per MOS:TIME, and include a time zone
 * What do you mean time zone?
 * Since Abu Dhabi is in UTC +04:00, after "7 a.m.", you should write "(GST)" ✅


 * I think Yankee Stadium should be linked upon its first mention in the reception, not down here ✅

Political

 * Per MOS:DASH, en dashes are used with spaces on either side, em dashes have no spaces; either is acceptable, as long as they are used consistently
 * They're only used on ask Madame Madonna — and everyone who organized her international show —, because that is how the source quotes it; let me know if I need to change it.


 * Muslim should be capitalized; if the quote had it lowercase, then "[sic]" should be added ✅
 * "On Louisiana," "In Louisiana", and delink the state name per MOS:OVERLINK ✅
 * "shot by members of the Taliban" ✅

Fire arms and nudity

 * "firearms" is generally one word ✅
 * "that kept her" "that prevented her" ✅
 * "if she did" what, exactly? (I know the answer is use simulated weaponry, but the sentence construction is unclear) ✅
 * "didn't" "did not" per MOS:N'T ✅
 * "commented about the controversy" "commented on the controversy" ✅

Paris' Olympia concert

 * "Paris'" "Paris's" throughout, per MOS:'S ✅
 * "July 18 and, three days later," "July 18, and three days later" ✅
 * Replace dashes with commas around many of whom had allegedly paid more than €280 or had slept on the street overnight to be able to purchase tickets ✅
 * "that it only" "that the set only" ✅
 * "had more than" "had received more than" ✅

Pussy Riot and LGBT rights in Russia

 * "were found guilty" please list the specific charges ✅
 * "Russian Government" "Russian government" ✅

Broadcasts and recording

 * "random people" is part of Eichner's schtick, but not very encyclopedic terminology ✅
 * "United States' relations" "United States's relations" per MOS:'S ✅
 * "talkshow" "talk show" ✅
 * "got to meet" "had the opportunity to meet" ✅
 * En dash instead of hyphen in "November 19-20" ✅
 * Comma after "September 10, 2013" per MOS:DATECOMMA ✅

Set list

 * Add period after the sentence explaining from where the adaptation was derived and after all of the notes, as they are all full sentences ✅

Shows

 * Good

Cancelled dates

 * Good

Personnel

 * Just as above, add period after "Adapted from The MDNA Tour program" ✅

General comments

 * Images look good, are properly licensed and relevant
 * No stability concerns in the revision history
 * Copyvio score is artificially inflated by proper nouns and direct quotes, but the article passes the eye test
