Not the End of the World (song)

An article about a Katy Perry's song

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I was brought to this page after sorting through a list of Wikipedia articles that may need help with grammar/formatting. I decided to evaluate the quality of it as well.

Lead Section
I would say it's a good lead section. It tells the reader what it's about (the song) while also providing broad-stroke detail (producers, composers, when it was released). It is concise, if a little clunky to read, but it does contain a table of contents and prefaces the next section well.

Content
The content stays on-topic, and is up-to-date as far as I was able to tell. It covers many aspects of the song, from its release, reception, and music video.

Tone and Balance
The article addresses both positive and negative feedback, and includes direct quotes from publications that say both. It remains neutral in both ways, and the author doesn't appear to offer their own opinion but focuses on reporting all the criticism and praise that the song garnered upon release.

Sources and References
There are many sources, and appropriately linked. The links work, and are from a variety of sources. The majority of them are well-known and professional music-reviewing sources (Rolling Stone, Pitchfork) and reliable sources of news (NYT, Insider).

Organization and writing quality
The article is concise, and the research is thorough. There are some minor edits (phrasing, grammar) and such that need to be done in order to make it a little easier to read. The sections/organization is good, though. The majority of its issues lie in the actual wording itself.

Images and Media
The images included directly relate to a point made in the music video section, and significantly enhance/help explain the point that is being made. It has a clear caption, and it laid out in a way that makes sense to the reader.

Talk page discussion
I found this article under a page that lists articles in need of a grammar/spelling check. I would imagine the majority of the talk about this article has to do with Katy Perry's album itself, rather than this individual article. Since it appears to be mostly complete (save for some wording stuff) I don't imagine the page is particularly active.

Overall impressions
It is a well-organized, concise and clear article. Besides a few grammatical errors that I will fix, it is a solid article well on its way to being complete.
