 * GA review (see here for criteria)

Thankyou for your review. I will look into the points you have raised tomorrow. J Milburn (talk) 23:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * First line a bit clunky with three dates mentioned. Maybe split the first line? The video begins with images of Talbot skipping through a garden, flashing to an image of her singing on a beach. Is there a better word to use than flashing? I haven't seen the video, but surely a better word could be used?
 * Fixed both. J Milburn (talk) 09:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Two references use a different date format than the others - I'd change it but I don't want to mix up the months and days.
 * Fixed, problem with cite web vs. cite news. J Milburn (talk) 09:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * See Final Comments
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Along with the fairly minor issues, there is one other concern I have with the article. The suitability of this articles existence. Two other editors have expressed reservations about the need for a separate article, and I do not feel that the issue has been completely addressed on the talk page. If there is a link to a WP:MUSIC discussion on its suitability, I'd like to see it, but I wouldn't pass it until there is some level of consensus. Perhaps it would be wise to highlight its significance as the first released single by Talbot? On its own it looks pretty non-notable. \ / (⁂) 03:18, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I have started a discussion here, hopefully there will be some input there. J Milburn (talk) 09:51, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm pretty sure that if the release and reception section was a bit more significant, there'd be no trouble. \ / (⁂) 10:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: To meet criterion 3a, I'd say some coverage of the song's recording and critical reception is in order. It would also be helpful to know how the song was chosen for her to cover. —Zeagler (talk) 15:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, looking into it. J Milburn (talk) 09:51, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Done what I can. J Milburn (talk) 10:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Careful, now. It looks like you've expanded the scope of reference [4] to cover all of the 'more adult' songs, when the reference only supports "I Will Always Love You".  Also, that one reviewer finds the song to be the best on the album isn't really insightful or worthy of inclusion without the reasoning behind it.  I appreciate the effort – you've probably found every possible source – but it just seems that this article will not be able to satisfy 3a given the dearth of information available to us.  I would say that it's B-class, though, as it covers the article reasonably, again, given what's available. —Zeagler (talk) 12:40, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I realise that it is still a bit sparse. I have clarified what was meant by the more adult songs- including that demonstrates the album's song choices, and so is the closest we have to demonstrating the single's song choice. On the plus side, Talbot's new album was announced a few days ago, and it's out later this month- I can include that with the other two articles as a good (or maybe featured, given the biography's current status) topic. I'll take another look around for some more information now- I may be able to scrape it up yet. J Milburn (talk) 18:44, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Deintent - Hate to do this, but it appears that this article is struggling to find enough material, as mentioned above. The single was released in June? So most of the reviews'd be long gone. Try newspaper archives, maybe even buy the CD to look for a 5 stars! John - NY Times type comment then try to follow up on it. Good Luck with the article - I hope to see you nominate it again! :) \ / (⁂) 19:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
