Hannah Montana

 * Nominator(s): SatDis (talk) 10:09, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

This article is about the American teen sitcom Hannah Montana, which aired on Disney Channel and starred Miley Cyrus. This was a massively successful TV series and franchise which launched the career of Cyrus. This article became a Good Article just over a year ago in December 2020. The article is classed as "High-importance" in the Disney WikiProject. I had a great time researching and writing this, so am keen to revisit with any feedback welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Pinging previous collaborators           I would appreciate any comments, but understand if you are unable to. Thank you! SatDis (talk) 02:36, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Not a requirement, but in the Infobox I'd consider using the "alt_name" parameter for the fourth season title.
 * "streaming service Disney+" is a MOS:SEAOFBLUE.
 * Again in "fictional girl group The Cheetah Girls".
 * And "Disney Channels Worldwide Rich Ross".
 * "The series finale was initially scheduled to air in spring 2011." violates MOS:SEASON.
 * Another BLUESEA with "1990s teen pop".
 * The Awards and nominations list seems to violate MOS:HIDE.
 * "psychoactive plant Salvia divinorum" is a BLUESEA.
 * This one isn't technically a requirement per MOS:CURRENCY, but every mention of money in the article has "US" preceding the amount with the exception of "$70.6 million" and " $169.2 million", both in the films section. Just for consistency I'd either add it in those two places or remove it in all places, bar the first use (again per MOS:CURRENCY).
 * I've never seen the show so I'm not super notable on the subject itself (if it wasn't obvious already since all my above comments are MOS fixes). I have however, seen all of Suite Life of Zach & Cody, Wizards of Waverly Place, and Suite Life on Deck, and am somewhat surprised there was no mention of the crossover episodes (That's so Suite Life of Hannah Montana and Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana). In most of my experience with television articles crossovers with other series are generally mentioned, anywhere from a passing mention to an entire section. This one also isn't a requirement, more of an observation, but a sentence or two could be useful (it would fit either in the development, casting, filming, or series overview section depending on the aspects covered or how it's written).
 * Reference 4 should have the episode writer(s), and optionally a link to the episode, either in the form of For (Give) a Little Bit, or as a redirect. Disney Channel can also be linked.

I am leaving this up as a placeholder and I will ideally post a review within a week. To be fully transparent, I reviewed the article on the GAN level. As the article is rather long (and that is understandable given the show's popularity), it will take me some time to read through it again thoroughly enough to do a FAC review.

I do have one clarification question. From my understanding, Disney had operated under an unspoken rule that its shows could not air more than 65 episodes (which would be either two or three seasons). Was there any discussion on how Hannah Montana was an exception to that rule? I believe this rule was already thrown by the time Hannah Montana aired, but I was just curious if this was ever brought up in the coverage on the show since it went beyond what was previously limited. Apologies if I have already asked you this in the past. Aoba47 (talk) 20:11, 3 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much . The 65 episode rule was never brought up for Hannah. I can think of some earlier examples, such as That's So Raven being one of the first to break the rule. And for Kim Possible, fans specifically campaigned for a fourth season after it had already ended. A fourth season was becoming the new normal by the time Hannah was ending. Thanks! SatDis (talk) 21:10, 3 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the response. That makes sense. It is understandable that sources would discuss this rule in the context of shows that were either affected by it or those that were the first to break that rule. As you have already said, Hannah was neither of these two things so it makes sense for sources to focus on other things related to the series. By the way, I have done some small copy-edits to the article while I am reading it. Feel free to revert anything you disagree with or ask about it here. I do not want to take up too much space in this review space on smaller matters. Aoba47 (talk) 21:39, 3 January 2022 (UTC)


 * This part, created the series to continue the commercial musical success of its television network after the premiere of its, reads rather awkwardly to me and I believe it could be phrased better. I think something like, created the series to continue the commercial musical success it experienced with, would be more concise and would read better.
 * Since alter ego is linked in the lead, it should be linked in the article too for consistency.
 * For this part, casting advertisements for the filming of a pilot, I do not think the casting link is necessary as I believe a majority of readers would already be familiar with this concept on some level.
 * For this part, as a new, half-hour live-action comedy in August 2005, why not just use sitcom? It would be more direct and match the linked article.
 * I would trim the quote in this part, Cyrus said she wanted to move on from the series, stating, "I can't base my career off of the six-year-olds ... I have to move on". The "have to move on" part is unnecessary and repetitive of what was already said earlier in the same sentence.
 * For this part, and another commentator described the Miley character as "obnoxious", clearly identify who this commentator is to avoid any confusion.
 * The first paragraph of the "Criticism of Cyrus's public image" sub-section has a few instances of "In X year". I would vary this further to avoid making the prose come across as a list as that may make the information less engaging to readers.
 * There was an interview Cyrus did with Kevin Hart about becoming Hannah Montana. You can watch it here. I have not seen it so take this with a mountain of salt, but there may be some useful information there.
 * Any further news on the prequel or spin-off rumors?

I hope these comments are helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions or if anything requires further clarification. Once everything has been addressed, I will read through the article again and very likely support it for promotion at that point. Have a great start to your week! Aoba47 (talk) 22:04, 3 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the comments, all of your copy-edits were fine with me. All of the above has been addressed.
 * For the "another commentator", I struggled to identify who the author of the source was.
 * I would say something along the lines of "a reviewer for DVDizzy.com" so the publication is named in the prose and readers are made fully aware of where this information is coming from. I looked at the quote in the citation by the way, and I think it would be notable to mention that the reviewer finds that Stewart becomes more obnoxious as the series progresses. Aoba47 (talk) 02:20, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thank you!


 * No further news on the spin-off, it appears to have just been a rumour.
 * That is what I thought. Any further news on this would likely get a lot of media attention. Thank you for the response. Aoba47 (talk) 02:20, 4 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reminder of the Kevin Hart source. I have added a few points, but I would appreciate you reading over the changes as I wasn't sure exactly how to include it. SatDis (talk) 02:06, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for adding the information. I made a small correction to the citation as Peacock is the publisher and YouTube is the platform that they published the video on.
 * Thanks, I fixed a similar Vanity Fair interview video.
 * I have not watched the interview yet, but was there further explanation for this sentence: "Cyrus explained in 2021 that she found it difficult to separate herself from the persona of Hannah Montana."? Was it because the media and fans perceived her this way or was it more on a personal level? I'd keep this part brief, but I was curious if there was more information. Aoba47 (talk) 02:20, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * You are spot on for both of those reasons. I was actually thinking of including "personally and from media attention"? Not sure how to word that without confusing readers. Should I remove the line altogether? SatDis (talk) 02:28, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the responses. I would leave the sentence in the article for now as I do think it is helpful and adds further context, but I would also be interested to see what other reviewers have to say about it. I support the article based on the prose. This is separate, but I would recommend converting File:Hannah Montana Logo.PNG into the SVG format as the tag suggests. Aoba47 (talk) 03:02, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you again for your time, and I will look into the image conversion. SatDis (talk) 03:14, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I am glad that I could help. If possible, I'd greatly appreciate any input on my current FAC although I understand if you do not have the time or the interest. Be warned though that it is about a much more explicit musical subject (a song called "No Panties"), but since Miley has performed "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)", maybe she would approve of this song too lol.

Comments from Panini!
I'm a very simple-minded creature. All this time I could've sworn that Hannah Montana starred Taylor Swift; I was confused when I saw the name Miley Cyrus everywhere. In hopes to make myself seem less crazy I searched to see if Taylor Swift had any connection to Hannah Montana, and was relieved to see she cameod in the movie. I'll have comments in a little while. Panini! 🥪 14:46, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Infobox and Lead
 * Should the Disney+ release be in the infobox somewhere?
 * The first paragraph uses "Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus)" and then "Billy Ray Cyrus, plays Miley Stewart's father and manager Robby Ray". To keep things uniform, I think this second sentence can be rewritten as "best friends Lilly Truscott and Oliver Oken, who become aware of her secret, and Miley Stewart's father and manager Robby Ray (Billy Ray Cyrus)."
 * "Television critics praised the show for its humor and music. The program is credited with launching Cyrus's musical career and establishing her as a teen idol." - Pretty short sentences, maybe they can be combined? "Television critics praised the show for its humor and music, and helped launch Cyrus's musical career and established her as a teen idol."


 * Story and characters and Themes
 * The introduction of a horse came as a surprise to me in the second paragraph. Is there any other introduction details about Blue Jeans that could help ease in the detail better?
 * The first three sentences ("The central conflict...important to her") references source 2 three times; only the last one is necessary and the others can be removed (stray refs).
 * This also applies to the latter half of the first paragraph ("While Miley discloses...of her childhood") and the third paragraph ("Tyler Bickford of...element of childhood").


 * Production
 * The lead credits High School Musical as the reason for Hannah Montana, but this first paragraph mentions a bunch of other shows. Should they also be included in the lead?
 * The original lead role title, Chloe Stewart, could use a bit more context ("...who auditioned for the lead role, originally named Chloe Stewart...")
 * Wouldn't the second paragraph of Development fit better under Casting?


 * Reception
 * This starts with "Critics said", but only references source 2.
 * Additionally, this has the same stray ref issues listed above.
 * Also also, "He called the series 'genre-defining'" is a pretty short sentence and could probably be merged.


 * Giving the critical reception section a look-over, it seems that the negatives outweigh the positives and don't really show how the show is one that's "raised by television critics" as stated in the lead.


 * US television rankings
 * Some of the content in these tables, especially the viewership counts, goes unsourced. It looks like this stuff is sourced in the prose above it, and should be sourced to the best of its ability in the table as well.


 * Public image and Lawsuits
 * After reading the controversy section, I'm glad this didn't star Taylor Swift.
 * "further alleged he was unfairly terminated by Disney" - Is there a reason why he feels this way in the source?
 * Overall, I like what you did here. Good Job!


 * Other Media
 * "Billy Ray Cyrus stated the movie would be about the Stewart family's return to Tennessee and that Disney was eager to film on location there." - This sentence sounds like a plot summary and doesn't really add much, so I'd propose a removal.

Overall, solid article! Once these are satisfied I'll be happy to support. Please do reach out if you have any more FACs cooking in the future. Besides, it gets me free points in the WikiCup, which I highly reccomend checking out. Panini! 🥪 18:07, 10 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the comments, how funny that you thought this starred Taylor Swift. I hope the article filled in your missing information!
 * Disney+ was not its premiere broadcast, therefore I have removed the line altogether.
 * Actually, in the series, Blue Jeans being introduced also comes as a surprise (the horse is only mentioned on earlier occasions).
 * I have changed to "High School Musical (2006) and earlier franchises involving music." to encompass some of the other shows mentioned.
 * Thanks for the suggestion to move the Casting paragraph - I like how it sits now.
 * Upon reflecting on Reception, I have changed the lead to read: "However, television critics found fault with its writing and depiction of gender roles and stereotypes. The show helped launch Cyrus's musical career and established her as a teen idol; Cyrus, however, began to develop an increasingly provocative public image, which led to the series receiving criticism for having a negative influence on its audience." I believe this highlights a large chunk of the negative reception.
 * The television ratings table relies on averages which are referenced in the article for the episodes list. I believe this table should be removed and would like your opinion.
 * For the lawsuit, I have added "alleged he was unfairly terminated by Disney in response to giving testimony within the arbitration". Thanks for picking that up. Thanks for the praise of that section - it is amazing to hear the legal battle was recent.
 * I believe I have addressed everything, please let me know if I missed something. SatDis (talk) 04:09, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Everything looks good here, so I'll leave a Support. About the table, however; it seems like every other Disney Channel TV show uses this table (except Shake it Up). However, the TV show MOS suggests combining the average viewership details with the series overview table (with citation for the numbers). I think you won't lose too much if the rest of those details are removed. Panini! 🥪 15:00, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your time! SatDis (talk) 15:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Pamzeis
Let's not screw this up
 * Hi just wondering if you plan on leaving comments soon. Thanks in advance. SatDis (talk) 09:42, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry! I have a few things to finish up before this, but I'll get to it by the end of the month. Pamzeis (talk) 10:24, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No problems. Thanks for the reply. SatDis (talk) 10:37, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * "after Cyrus began developing an increasingly provocative" — ...when?
 * This was gradual and hard to date.


 * The first paragraph of #Premise (at least in my view) is sandwiched between the image and the infobox
 * It doesn't appear this way in my view; not sure how to fix that.


 * In #Premise, "Miley" is used a lot, with sentences that include "Miley" up to three times. Can this be reduced?
 * I have tried to tweak, but this is tricky when "she" could refer to Miley, Lilly or Hannah.


 * "persona must now be merged" — this sounds kinda like the wording of a PR to me...
 * Reworded.


 * "who was now aged twelve" — kinda awkward
 * Have changed to "aged twelve" as it previously states "aged eleven at the time".


 * "Miley's deceased mother in dream sequences" — another dead Disney parent...
 * I actually think Hannah was an early example of this! Lizzie McGuire and That's So Raven have both parents!
 * I... was referring to those in Disney films, more... because, y'know, Bambi, Snow White, etc... Pamzeis (talk) 02:14, 2 February 2022 (UTC)


 * "worked on The Cheetah Girls and High School Musical, and helped" — is mention of TCG and HSM really necessary?
 * Yes, as we are discussing the impact of other projects on the development of Hannah. And the musical consistency created by the executives.


 * "Heather Phares of AllMusic described the songs' melodies as strong and Cyrus's vocals as charismatic." — this seems more like something you would put in the reception section...
 * Thanks for picking up. Moved.


 * "which had commenced production by August, by which time Disney had optioned the program for a fourth season." — The bit after the comma feels a bit confusing. Perhaps split it?
 * Split!


 * "she would at some stage" — at first, I thought Cyrus wanted to do a live production of Hannah Montana. Clarification is needed, I guess?
 * Reworded.


 * "Some critics found" — only one critic is cited...
 * Thanks for spotting that one.


 * "poll on JSYK, which children voted on, following" — a bit clunky...
 * Fixed.


 * "By 2016, it was reported the arbitrator found US$18 million in under-reported amounts, but the franchise was still operating at a US$24 million deficit so no compensation was owed." — as someone quite unfamiliar with the law, I'm having a pretty hard time following this... why was no compensation owed?
 * Basically they could've received $18million but they were already $24million in debt. So no payment. It's written how the source states it so I'm not sure how I could write that without original research.


 * "The film, titled ... The film, which ... The film grossed" — the film, the film, the film... it gets pretty monotonous
 * Fixed.


 * "titled Hannah Montana: The Movie, was released" — is there a stray comma or am I missing something?
 * Fixed.


 * "The program remains one of Disney Channel's most commercially successful franchises." — ...as of?
 * Reworded.


 * #Rumored spin-off goes from 2020 way back to 2011, which makes it a tad bit confusing
 * Shuffled.

I think that's it from me, in addition to a few tweaks that you can revert if you want to. Overall, great article! I definitely want to watch the series now. BTW, I'd appreciate any comments here. Best of luck! Pamzeis (talk) 15:02, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comment and thanks for the suggestions. I have tried to respond to each above, and I hope it doesn't sound like I am negating too many of your ideas. I just hope I can help you to understand the purpose of some of the decisions. Thanks again! SatDis (talk) 11:07, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. I have one more comment that is not that major:
 * Per MOS:SMALLCAPS, be consistent with the citation capitalisation. Pamzeis (talk) 02:13, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

 * "The Market Child and Branded Fiction: A Synergism of Children's Literature, Consumer Culture, and New Literacies" - from Reading Research Quarterly

And quite a bit more, just picking out a few.

I'm going to have to oppose on sourcing, given that the article uses quite a few lower-tier web sources at the expense of scholarly literature. Hog Farm Talk 06:39, 23 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the source review. I have removed all of the sources listed above due to unreliability. Thank you for your list of academic coverage - I have actually already incorporated the "Tween Intimacy" source heavily in the article. I would like to incorporate more of these scholarly sources into the article, and I ask if you would be willing to provide another source review once that has been done? Thanks. SatDis (talk) 07:21, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * How long do you expect this process of incorporating new sources to take? If it's just a few days, then this FAC can continue, but if it's going to take 2 weeks it's probably more appropriate to archive it at this point and renominate once complete. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  07:28, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * This can definitely be done within a few days. SatDis (talk) 07:30, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Ping me when you're done, and I'll take another look. Hog Farm Talk 07:59, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Related point on sourcing: I noticed that many of the sources have long page ranges, such as 66–82, 173–186, 225–241 etc. To improve verifiability, I try to keep all page ranges to 2 or 3 pages at most. According to previous discussions at WT:FAC, ranges longer than 10 pages should not be used. I would also provide a timestamp for where you can verify the information when citing a 20-minute long video. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  07:36, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I have added some further scholarly sources to the article and removed the unreliable sources. I have separated the long page ranges as suggested by above and have added these journal articles to the "Bibliography" section. I have read through some further articles but I want to note that they wouldn't all have importance on this article, and I only want to add sources that have a significant use. The Vanity Fair video also has a timestamp. Thank you for looking over the sources again, and I hope the referencing is now of a higher standard. SatDis (talk) 07:20, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I'll do some spot-checks later, but the only further concern I have here with reliability/sourcing depth is that I'm not sure that DVDizzy is reliable to necessarily be WP:DUEWEIGHT for inclusion as a review/opinion. Hog Farm Talk 05:28, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks let me know and I can easily remove the DVDizzy source. Thanks. SatDis (talk) 05:56, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I've struck my oppose, but would still suggest removing the DVDizzy source. Hog Farm Talk 06:00, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I have removed the unreliable source. SatDis (talk) 06:03, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Prose review by TheJoebro64
Lede: Premise My first batch of comments. I'm just focusing on prose so it shouldn't take me long to do a full analysis. More to come. JOE BRO  64  17:37, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Why aren't the actors who play Jackson, Lilly, and Oliver in parenthesis in the lede? Seems a bit odd to do it for Miley and Robby and not them.
 * The Walt Disney Company created commissioned the series... I think "commissioned" is more accurate in this case—Disney just gave the series the greenlight, it was created by Poryes, Correll, and O'Brien.
 * ... to continue the commercial musical success it experienced with its television network after the premiere of the made-for-television film High School Musical (2006) and earlier franchises involving music. I think this should be simplified, as it's a bit of a mouthful and reads somewhat awkwardly. My recommended change would be: The Walt Disney Company commissioned the series after the success of Disney Channel's previous music-based franchises, such as the made-for-television film High School Musical (2006).
 * Cyrus, however, began to develop an increasingly provocative public image, which led to the program receiving criticism for having a negative influence on its audience. I think this could use some tightening as well. You've got two "however"s in quick succession, which is generally discouraged, and "criticized for..." is something you need to be careful of—you're stating in Wikivoice that Cyrus' provocative image being a negative influence on its audience is fact (which creates a WP:NPOV problem, Wikipedia doesn't take positions). I'd revise this to something like After Cyrus began developing an increasingly provocative public image, commentators criticized Hannah Montana as having a negative influence on its audience. (Particular emphasis on "as", since WP isn't taking a position on whether the commentators were right.)
 * While her schoolmates idolize Hannah Montana, Miley is often tempted to reveal her secret and assume a celebrity status at school. Just asking for clarification: "while" means "as" in this case, correct? I think it might be worth swapping "while" with "as" to avoid potential confusion.
 * No other comments here; pretty well-written. I made a few minor edits that I don't think are controversial (one of which was to fix a typo)
 * Thanks for the detailed comments! I have taken on board all of your suggestions. SatDis (talk) 00:15, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Joebro, were you planning to add anything? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 20:51, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks for the ping—I've just been extremely busy lately. I'll have some time tomorrow so I'll post my remaining comments in the morning. JOE BRO  64  02:33, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

And that's it. , sorry for keeping you waiting so long! Once these comments have been addressed you've got my full support. JOE BRO  64  15:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The fictional girl group The Cheetah Girls... The article for The Cheetah Girls describes them as a real girl group. I understand they were created for a book but I'm not sure if "fictional" is entirely necessary or accurate? You don't have to remove it if you disagree, I just think it may be confusing.
 * The section titled "Series overview"—I don't think that's a good section title. I think it could be confused with the "Premise" section, and the lede is supposed to be the "series overview". I think "Episodes" is a more accurate header, and looking over other television articles (e.g. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Sopranos) seems to be the norm.
 * as of 2008, became the highest-selling concert film of all time I'm not seeing this in the provided source.
 * So the last paragraph in the "Conclusion and impact on Cyrus" subsection—I think it makes little sense if you haven't read the subsection about Cyrus's public image. "Miley's unpredictable behavior" isn't discussed until the public image subsection, and the last paragraph in general feels as if it has little to do with the production of the series. I think you should move the entire paragraph down to the public image subsection, as it'd fit much better down there in my opinion. JOE BRO  64  15:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I have fixed all of the above. SatDis (talk) 22:02, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Comments Support by FrB.TG

 * "Hannah Montana[i] is an American teen sitcom created by Michael Poryes, Rich Correll, and Barry O'Brien that aired on Disney Channel for four seasons between March 2006 and January 2011." "...March2006 and January2011" per MOS:NBSP
 * "The series concluded on January 16, 2011, as a result of Cyrus's growing popularity and music career" - Cyrus', not Cyrus's. While it's fine either ways but I saw "producers'" in the article so you need to remain consistent.
 * Apologies, but there is a specific reason for this difference, and I am quoting from the article Apostrophe and they are different noun forms.
 * Singular nouns ending with an "s" or "z" sound - "all singular nouns, including those ending with a sibilant sound, have possessive forms with an extra s after the apostrophe so that the spelling reflects the underlying pronunciation" - this is for Cyrus's
 * Basic rule (plural nouns) - "When the noun is a normal plural, with an added "s", no extra "s" is added in the possessive - this is for producers'
 * Ah, yes. That toally makes sense.

There is some work to be done but I think it can all be done in a reasonable amount of time. FrB.TG (talk) 20:42, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * "Cyrus won a Young Artist Award for "Best Performance in a TV Series, Leading Young Actress" in 2008" - you don't need to put the award category in quotes.
 * "Miley Stewart is a fourteen-year-old middle school student who appears to live a normal life but has a secret identity, pop singer Hannah Montana, an alias she chose so she could to have a private life away from the public spotlight."
 * "The central conflict of the series is the disconnect between the public and private lives of Miley Stewart, and the lengths to which must go" - there is a pronoun missing after "to which".
 * "Disney selected the pilot for Hannah Montana to progress to a series against a potential spin-off of Lizzie McGuire, which was the network also considered during the 2004–05 pilot season." Grammar issue.
 * "The program and its primary cast were announced in August 2005" - NBSP per above.
 * "Miley Cyrus was revealed to be portraying" - "revealed" is not very encyclopedic.
 * Why is Miley Cyrus linked in the second sentence of casting section when she is also mentioned in the preceding one?
 * "At eleven years old, Miley Cyrus was one of over 1,000 applicants who auditioned for the lead role, originally named Chloe Stewart, after receiving the script from her agents." -> "After receiving the script from her agents, Miley Cyrus, 11 at the time, auditioned against 1,000 applicants for the lead role, originally named Chloe Stewart."
 * "She was rejected throughout the audition process for being too young to play the character" - I think "throughout the audition process" is unnecessary. The previous sentence makes it clear she auditioned.
 * "Billy Ray Cyrus was at first apprehensive about being cast in the show but later accepted the role.[8] He did not want to "screw up Miley's show" and suggested a "real actor" could have been cast instead.[8]" I think you can move the reasons behind his reservations to the part before him accepting the part. Something like "Billy Ray Cyrus was initially apprehensive about being cast in the show—he did not want to "screw up Miley's show" and suggested a "real actor" be cast instead—but later accepted the role."
 * "By April 2006, a soundtrack was scheduled for release in the latter half of the year", "The soundtrack album Hannah Montana was released in October 2006" - NBSP per above.
 * "Jeannie Lurie explained that it was important for the songwriting team to capture the character's voice and feelings within each song's lyrics." Who is Jeannie Lurie? There is no previous mention of her so you should explain her significance here.
 * "Production of the second season began in Los Angeles, California, in November 2006,[3] and concluded in September 2007.[53] In April 2008" - NBSP (November 2006), NBSP (September 2007), NBSP (April 2008)
 * "Production for the season began in January 2010" - see above.
 * "Bickford interpreted the theme song "The Best of Both Worlds" as an expression of Miley's choice between her contradictory identities is.." - awkward phrasing as the part with "is" begins.
 * "The series premiere of Hannah Montana was aired on March 24, 2006, as a lead-in to a rerun of High School Musical, and received 5.4 million viewers.", "By April 2006, Hannah Montana had an average of more than 3.5 million viewers" - NBSP
 * "Cyrus performed a seductive pole dance the following year during her act at the Teen Choice Awards; she later defended the dance, saying it "was right for the song and that performance" while Disney representatives did not comment." -> "Cyrus performed a seductive pole dance the following year during her act at the Teen Choice Awards, later defending it as "right for the song and that performance" while Disney representatives did not comment."
 * "The initial proposal was unsuccessful and in August 2007", "A trial was scheduled to begin in August 2008", "In April 2010, Correll and O'Brien filed a lawsuit against Disney Channel", "By 2016, it was reported the arbitrator found US$18 million in under-reported amounts but the franchise was still operating at a US$24 million", "Poryes had filed a similar lawsuit in October 2008" - NBSP
 * There are other instances of missing NBSP in the films subsection.
 * Thanks for the comments, I addressed all of the above. And I apologise for the amount of NBSP issues, as I was unaware of it. Thanks again. SatDis (talk) 10:28, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thank you for the prompt response.

Support on prose, good work. If you have the time and inclination, I would appreciate some feedback on my FAC. Totally understandable if the subject does not interest you. FrB.TG (talk) 11:30, 27 January 2022 (UTC) This article already has more than 3 supports, but it looks like we're still missing an image review, planned spot checks by, and the review that was discussing above.

 * Coord note
 * Informal spot checks I did came up clean, no copvio or source-text integrity noted in what I checked. Hog Farm Talk 06:27, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you!!! SatDis (talk)

Image review

 * Alt texts are too long—they should be short enough to describe the gist of the image, not a full accounting of its details
 * Free use licenses and FURs all good
 * DefenseImagery.mil isn't loading for me, for the last concert image—looks like it went down in 2019—so I can't verify the source. I'm willing to AGF based on the upload data but it might not hold up to closer scrutiny. Recommend replacing with an image that has been reviewed/archived for longevity.
 * None of the above blocks the FAC criteria so image review passed czar  18:07, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
