Irresistible (Jessica Simpson song)

 * Nominator(s): Novice7 (talk) 17:09, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because I've worked on this article for quite some time now, and believe it now meets the criteria for an FA. Previous FA nomination archive is here. Thanks. Novice7 (talk) 17:09, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Oppose on sourcing
 * Be consistent in whether you include publishers for newspapers or not
 * In general, reference formatting is problematic and should be much more consistent
 * Spotchecks found multiple instances of close paraphrasing. Examples: "adds a dimension of her own to the album" vs "added a dimension of her own to the album"; "He calls me every week and encourages me to write for different projects, like Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Hall & Oates" vs "Motolla called Bagge each week, encouraging him to write songs for Sony artists, including Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, and Hall & Oates"; "the song has some very feminine angles" vs "'Irresistible' has some very feminine angles"
 * What makes this a reliable source? Walmart? This?
 * Can you justify your use of this, this and this via WP:SPS? Nikkimaria (talk) 19:42, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing out the issues Nikkimaria. I guess I've fixed the references and the close paraphrasing issues. As for About.com and ChartStats, I have removed/replaced them. The Walmart review is done by Adrian Zupp (a journalist and writer), who works for Boston Phoenix. If it should not be included, I can remove it. And, I removed the Daniel Pearl and Felipe Nino websites, but the Cameron Casey website shows that he directed the So So Def remix. The DVD also credits him, so, I'll add that reference too.
