Treat Myself

 * Nominator(s): NØ 14:48, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

This article is about Meghan Trainor's third album, Treat Myself. Before she made us look again, there was this commercial disaster. Trainor's label delayed it several times, spanning over a year, and can probably write a book about what not to do when promoting an album. She has stated in interviews that it is her best work. And if you ask me, track 1 on this album is the best song she has released! Thanks a lot to everyone who will take the time to give their feedback here.--NØ 14:48, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Media review (pass)
The images are licensed appropriately and have alt text (suggest including one for the alternative cover). The audio sample has an appropriate FUR and meets WP:SAMPLE. Pseud 14 (talk) 20:18, 18 September 2023 (UTC)


 * MyCatIsAChonk
 * - not sure if this is just a music industry term, but I (a classical musician) am reading this as she literally conducted the song; perhaps "ran" or "held" would be better
 * This is a great point and I would have never realized this unless you raised it.


 * - missing quotation mark before '80s?
 * - using and in "and wrote" shortly after using and for "and 'Garish...'" is a bit confusing; I think it'd be better as "Dani Blum of Pitchfork described Treat Myself as a combination of several ballads, funk, and "garish shudders of EDM", writing..."
 * - replace it with "the album" or just the album's name
 * Wl Evil twin in
 * - did all three say those exact words? If not, attribute the quote, and abridge the other two to just "critics" or "reviewers"
 * I was surprised too but they did, indeed, all use those words!

, all done, great work as always! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 01:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for the swift review, MyCatIsAChonk. Very helpful and all done I think.--NØ 06:50, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - if you get any time, I have an open FAC and two open FLCs that I'd appreciate comments at- thanks! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) <small style="font-size:45%;">(still no) 11:01, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I didn't see your comments at season 3 until just now- thank you so much! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) <small style="font-size:66%;">(also not me) <small style="font-size:45%;">(still no) 11:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * "Meghan Trainor was placed...." - re-introduce her in the body as "American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor"
 * "Nied opined Trainor successfully" => "Nied opined that Trainor successfully"
 * That's it, I think - great work as ever!! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:17, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

GWL
Came here from PR! As usual,  Gerald  WL  08:58, 25 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the very insightful review, Gerald Waldo Luis. I hope everything has been addressed.--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 15:31, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It seems like it, all my comments seem resolved swimmingly! Happy to support another of your FACs.  Gerald WL  07:46, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Source review

 * The citations come from high-quality sources that are appropriate for a music-related article and are well-structured. I have a few comments below, but for the most part, this part of the article seems solid to me. I have also done a spot check and based on the random sources I checked out, the information cited in the article can be found in the actual sources.
 * I hate to do this, but what makes Riff a high-quality source? Not saying it is not, but I would just like to hear your defense of it as it is not a source that I am personally familiar with.
 * There is no need to hate doing this, I appreciate your thoroughness! Riff has an extensive editorial team and is ran by Daniel Willis according to their About page, who has contributed to LA Times, The Atlantic, and several other reputed publications. It has also been recognized with three awards by the San Francisco Press Club and quoted/cited according to ProQuest.
 * Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense to me. Aoba47 (talk) 12:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Citation 19 has this title, Meghan Trainor: Treat Myself (Album Review), when the article has this title, Meghan Trainor's Treat Myself Has Us Questioning How Deep Feminism Runs in the Music Industry. The title in the citation should match the title in the article.
 * Citation 36 uses both work and publisher (i.e. People and Yahoo! Entertainment) when other citations, such as Citation 12 only uses one. I would change this citation to match the others and I would double-check any other citations to make sure they are all consistent with one another.
 * I have only included both in citation 36 since it is a People article published by Yahoo! Entertainment. I have been asked to note this in references when a site publishes a different publisher's review during prior source reviews.
 * Thank you for the explanation. Apologies for not looking at the source closer. Aoba47 (talk) 12:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Citation 39 does not have an author, but the source has a credited author (Glenn Rowley). Citation 59 has the same issue. The source has a credited author (Taylor Weatherby) not represented in the citation.

Wonderful work on the article. I hope this source review is helpful. Once everything has been addressed, this should pass my source review. I hope you have a great rest of your week! Aoba47 (talk) 17:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * A pleasure to see you at another one of my nominations, Aoba47, as always. The source review comments should all be addressed!--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 11:12, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the kind words! This FAC passes my source review. Best of luck with the FAC! Aoba47 (talk) 12:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Pseud 14
Other than that, great work here as usual. Pseud 14 (talk) 22:45, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * My only comment, would be in the background's introductory sentence, After a previous incident in the summer of 2015 -- perhaps it would be beneficial to specify that this incident was her suffering vocal cord hemorrhage for some context, which led to her vocal rest (again) the following year?
 * Done, Pseud 14. I hope this was an enjoyable read and you are having a great weekend!--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 18:54, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

FYI the nominator was indefinitely blocked this morning. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:17, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * .  Serial  11:34, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Tks Mike/SN, as it happens the nom might have the legs for promotion in any case, we'll go over it in due course. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:49, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Happy to address anything you guys want!--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 17:31, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Cheers Mike. SN, apologies for reading straight past your brief post on MF's talk page - I have since spotted it. Clearly you have a better memory for these things than me, I assume that I employed a "deal with it and forget it" approach, which was probably not wholly appropriate. Ian, if this needs another review or whatever, let me know. (I remember a few years ago when another nominator went radio silent your letting me address my own review comments and edit the article accordingly. I ended up supporting, who needs nominators?) Gog the Mild (talk) 18:50, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Since the nomination has come this far, I'd hate to see this get archived because of a block. While MF is blocked, I'd be happy to resolve any comments or provide my own review, should the need arise. FrB.TG (talk) 05:54, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I see this is now on urgents. Would it be okay for me to go ahead and make another nomination anyway?--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 06:38, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Given the level of support this has attracted plus the source and image review passes yes, that would be ok. In future you would probably get a swifter response by using which pings all of the coordinators. And I note that you started another nomination prior to this response; no great harm done, but having asked my permission it would have been appreciated if you had had the courtesy to wait for my response. Good luck with it in any case. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:13, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Immensely grateful.--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 15:20, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
