Ain't No Other Man

 * Nominator(s): HĐ (talk) 03:21, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because... I believe it's suitable for a featured article. HĐ (talk) 03:21, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Comments from WikiRedactor

 * We have some shady links to be addressed.
 * done


 * I don't think the sampling controversy is a long enough section to warrant its own heading.
 * It works per "Irreplaceable"


 * "Background and recording",a "Development and writing", and "Composition" cover a lot of the same material. You should clean up the duplicate information and maybe merge the first two sections into a renamed "Background and development".
 * doing


 * I prefer the title "Commercial performance" over "Chart performance" to differentiate it from the "Charts" table sections below.
 * done


 * Misspelling of Aguilera in the music video section.
 * done


 * "Usage in media" is not long enough to need its own section, merge it with (maybe?) "Commercial performance".
 * done I've merged it with "Live performances and cultural impact"


 * The article as a whole may also benefit from a WP:COPYEDIT. WikiRedactor (talk) 15:20, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it's just a slight c/e &mdash; HĐ (talk) 04:46, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

 * About.com is not a reliable source for FA, so it should be removed (I would also suggest replacing, but since it's opinions, that cannot be done.)
 * This article really needs a WP:COPYEDIT before going any further. A select few examples of issues include:
 * "Production was took by Aguilera..."
 * "...with Jordan Laws credited as assistant."
 * ""Ain't No Other Man" received generally acclaim from music critics."


 * Oppose: This article has not been adequately prepared for FAC. Issues with prose and sourcing are readily found. Please withdraw this and re-nominate when these issues are fixed. Some random examples:
 * Sourcing to About.com as noted above.
 * "Bill Lamp for About.com said that the single also combines saxophone." Combines with...?
 * "Several critics noted that the mixture was good" Mixture?
 * "Jody Rosen from Entertainment Weekly found out that the jazzy melody from the track suited Aguilera perfectly" Use of "found out" is awkward and informal.
 * Grammar: "Aguilera's vocal range on the track span from A♭3 to C5"
 * Grammar: "Dorian Lyskey of The Guardian called the beats of the song 'brassy' and has the same 'aerobic oomph' as Beyoncé's 'Crazy in Love'"
 * These are all in just one section. Please get someone to copyedit this. -- Laser brain  (talk)  05:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
