Comments from WikiRedactor

 * Six external links that should be corrected.
 * Done. Simon (talk) 02:21, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * The first and second sentences can be merged to say "New Zealand recording artist Lorde is well known..."
 * Done. Simon (talk) 02:21, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * In the introduction, can you change "as of now" to a specific month for clarification?
 * Done. Simon (talk) 02:21, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

The list looks to be in good shape, I don't really have anything else to add right now! Once these corrections are made I'll take another look-through because I am a little tight on time lately, so I'll set aside some more time to thoroughly look through it.

 * Comments from Crisco 1492
 * Lorde is a New Zealand singer known for her contrary view of pop culture with that of her contemporaries. - That is possibly the poorest definition / first sentence I've seen in my time on Wikipedia. "Contrary view of pop culture"? It's been "in" to be "contrary" for ages. Can we define her a bit better than this, please?
 * I have removed the "contrary" information and rewrite a bit. What do you think? Simon (talk) 10:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)


 * At the age of 13, she signed a deal with Universal Music Group (UMG) and started to write music. - So what did she do before she signed? Just sang?
 * Added a piece of information about Lorde's career beginning. Simon (talk) 10:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)


 * The album has sold 2.7 million copies worldwide, - as of when?
 * Added date. Simon (talk) 10:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)


 * and was preceded by four singles: "Tennis Court", "Team", "No Better" and "Glory and Gore". In 2014, Lorde contributed four songs to the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, including the single "Yellow Flicker Beat". - ref?
 * Sources added. Simon (talk) 10:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Additionally, she earned a pending Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song for "Yellow Flicker Beat". - "pending" reads strange here. Also, when is the ceremony?
 * Fixed. Simon (talk) 10:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)


 * None of the descriptions of the awards are referenced. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:39, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Personally I think the descriptions of the awards don't need references because it is already sourced in the award articles. (i.e. Madonna). Simon (talk) 10:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd have insisted on references there, too. That something is referenced elsewhere is not sufficient reason to not reference something in the nominated article, particularly at the featured level. This is the only point holding me back from supporting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:44, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I have added sources. Much appreciated, Simon (talk) 05:59, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review! Simon (talk) 10:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I have addressed all of your concerns. Simon (talk) 09:12, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
