I Drink Wine

 * Nominator(s): NØ 11:12, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

This article is about Adele's song "I Drink Wine", a sombre ballad she wrote with her "Hello" collaborator Greg Kurstin in the aftermath of her divorce. The song's original 15-minute version was reduced to a six-minute track for the release of 30. A favourite among fans and critics alike, it reached the top 10 in various countries despite not seeing a commercial single release. The song was also showcased in an acclaimed performance at the Brit Awards this year. Thanks a lot to everyone who will take the time to give their feedback here.--NØ 11:12, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

 * For the profile image, I'd include an archived version of the source link to be on the safe side.
 * Done.


 * The second paragraph of the "Background" section appears rather long (at least in my view) and I think it would benefit from being separated into two. I would start a new paragraph with this part, She announced the album's tracklist on 1 November 2021, as that is a natural change in topic.
 * I believe this is a good idea. Split.


 * I would link Rhodes. The Wikipedia article capitalizes Rhodes so should be it represented the same way here?
 * Linked.


 * This is super nitpick-y, but citation 36 has 30 in italics while most of the other citations do not have it in italics. I'd be consistent with one way or the other.
 * Removed for consistency.


 * Rob Sheffield should be linked in citation 30.
 * Linked.


 * Jon Pareles should be linked in the article and in the citation.
 * Linked.

I hope these comments are helpful. I believe this should be everything. Once all of my comments have been addressed, I will be more than happy to support this FAC for promotion. Best of luck with this nomination! Aoba47 (talk) 02:24, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Everything has been addressed. The review was very helpful, Aoba47! Hope you are having a great weekend.--NØ 04:31, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Pseud 14

 * English singer Adele – is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter Adele...
 * I am reluctant about this one since her bio addresses her as a "singer and songwriter" instead of a "singer-songwriter" and these types of changes have been contentious in the past.


 * Adele wrote it with its producer Greg Kurstin. The song became available as the album's seventh track – Adele co-wrote the song with its producer [..] It became available...
 * Done.


 * Think it would be worth linking organ to the instrument to avoid confusion
 * I have added a link.


 * A ballad with gospel influences, "I Drink Wine" is reminiscent of church music and incorporates a piano and an organ in its instrumentation. – I think you can start this off with “Musically, “I Drink Wine is a balled with gospel influences which is reminiscent.
 * Done.


 * A suggestion -- The lyrics are about letting go of one's ego and addresses Adele's divorce with Simon Konecki, and the ensuing difficult realizations about the state of her marriage and life.
 * I think I'll keep the present wording if that is okay, the word "ensuing" would imply something not directly stated in the article or sources.


 * some of whom viewed – since critics have been mostly unanimous, perhaps use "many of whom viewed"
 * While many of them were positive, I think "some" is the safer word given the gravity of the wording I have included in the lead.


 * To avoid repetition of "received" I would suggest -- The song’s instrumentation was praised, but some believed that the lyrics were weak.
 * Done.


 * Adele wrote the song "I Drink Wine" -- co-wrote the song
 * Done.


 * The composition and reception section has at least six mentions of "I Drink Wine" each. Perhaps reword some of them to avoid being repetitive.
 * I've used the typical rotation between "[song name]", "the song" and "it" I use on all my FAs.


 * Adele sang it in a lime green chiffon Valentino gown -- not sure if this is necessary to include what she wore, as the other live performances listed doesn’t include it.
 * Given the extent to which sources covered it I deemed it worthy of a one-line mention.


 * Use so there is the right space between personnel and roles.
 * Done!


 * That's all from me. Hope these comments are helpful. Nice work. --Pseud 14 (talk) 19:13, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for the review, Pseud 14. I've made most of the changes and left a few clarifications. Let me know if there's anything else.--NØ 19:35, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * My concerns have been addressed and rationales are fairly reasonble. Support on prose. Pseud 14 (talk) 22:23, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * If you have spare time or inclination, I would appreciate feedback on my current FLC. Not to worry if things are busy.

Comments from ChrisTheDude

 * "arduous realizations" - Adele is British so the article should be written in British English and therefore that last word should be "realisations"
 * "She reminisces her childhood" => "She reminisces about her childhood"
 * "reaches arduous realizations" - as above
 * "sometimes the road less traveled" => "sometimes the road less travelled"
 * "its lyrics were swarmed with clichés" => "its lyrics swarmed with clichés"
 * "Graeme Marsh opined the song's lyrics" => "Graeme Marsh opined that the song's lyrics"
 * "Afront a gold curtain" - I don't think "afront" is a real word, or if it is then it's a very obscure one, so I would just say "In front of"
 * That's what I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:26, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Source review – pass
Version reviewed. Spot-checks not included.
 * Ref. 1 has 10th February 2020 as publication date, not 25 June 2018.
 * 30 should not be linked in ref. 6 title as you are not referencing the Wikipedia page but the media notes of the album.
 * 25 should not be linked in ref. 7 as per above.
 * Most of the sources are archived but some are not (e.g. ref. 15). I suggest doing it for all to avoid future headache with dead links.
 * 30 should be italicised in ref. 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 54 as per MOS:CONFORMTITLE.
 * Watch out for WP:QWQ in ref. 18 quote.
 * I Drink Wine in ref. 19 should have apostrophes as per MOS:CONFORMTITLE and MOS:QWQ.
 * Given that The Daily Telegraph offers a month of free trial, I wonder if ref. 22 should have limited instead of subscription.
 * Ref. 23 should have a limited parameter.
 * Ref. 26 should have a limited parameter (also for consistency - see ref. 4).
 * Weirdly I'm able to access both the Independent refs without a subscription so I've removed it from both.


 * Evening Standard should not be used in FAs (see WP:RSP). FrB.TG (talk) 16:39, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I replaced the Evening Standard with the best possible alternative. Thanks a lot for the source review!--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 17:32, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Given the week-long inactivity here and the nomination being at the three-week mark would it be okay to nominate another one? Regards.--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 13:03, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Don't see why not... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
