Your GA nomination of Sarah Geronimo

[edit]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Sarah Geronimo you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

@Spookyaki: Okay. Good luck on your review. ScarletViolet tc 13:44, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Sarah Geronimo

[edit]

The article Sarah Geronimo you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Sarah Geronimo for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Re: Renom to GA, or straight to FA

[edit]

Responding to your message on my talk page. I covered a lot of the major issues in the review itself, but here are the two biggest areas that I would focus on for improving the article:

  • Prose — There are some sections of the article where it's not entirely clear what is being said. For example, the sentence "Asilo described the album as Geronimo's bold reinvention and adaptability as a singer." It seems like the clause "adaptability as a singer" is supposed to be describing "the album," but an album cannot sing. I get a bit more granular on this in the review, but if you're having difficulty, I honestly wonder if putting in a request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests might help. Alternatively, you could add a copyedit template (Template:Copy edit). I also might be willing to do some copyediting myself, though I won't have a lot of time to devote to it in the next few weeks. I also think that would preclude me personally from re-reviewing the article; someone else would have to do it.
  • Alignment with sources — There are various points in the article where claims are made that do not align with the sources that are supposed to support them. Again, I get more granular in the review, but as an example, in the article you quote Jennifer Dunega as saying that "Geronimo’s vulnerability is adorable while her new-found fierceness is laugh-out-loud funny without being over-the-top, [and] it didn't distract from her appeal." This makes it seem like Dunega is saying that Geronimo's vulnerability does not detract from her appeal, but the actual quote is "Sarah Geronimo's vulnerability is adorable while her new-found fierceness is laugh-out-loud funny without being over-the-top. Though it is unclear and odd why she needs to wear a wig throughout the film, it doesn't distract from her appeal." It's evident from the full quote that the thing that doesn't distract from her appeal is the wig. In this case, the source has been misrepresented to draw a conclusion that isn't supported by the original author. There are other instances where claims are made that are contradicted or not even mentioned by the appended sources. For example, "in 2014, Geronimo starred in her next film Maybe This Time, which reunited her with Coco Martin" is contradicted by the source, which says that the film is their "maiden... collaboration." I would recommend going through each source and making sure that they actually say what the article says they do.

I didn't mention it in my review, but I think it's also possible that people might call into question the reliability of the article's sources, since most (basically all articles from PEP, Philstar, and ABS-CBN) are not written in WP:NPOV. I personally thought the way they were used was fine, since (a) there is no consensus about most of them at Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines/Sources and (b) the article itself is written in a neutral tone and non-neutral statements are generally attributed to their respective writers, but others might find fault with them.

Again, I get more granular in the review, but those are the biggest thing I would consider tackling. Good luck and thanks for your work! Let me know if you have any more questions. Spookyaki (talk) 01:52, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Spookyaki: I hope this understood me well. Thank you! PS After this, I can either open up a peer review, second GAN nomination, or even straight to FAC since I believe it's already comprehensive. ScarletViolet tc 01:56, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure! It doesn’t seem to me like comprehensiveness is a major issue in the article, no. Once the major issues are worked out I think that either a peer review or GAN resubmit would be reasonable. Spookyaki (talk) 02:02, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please, stop tagging me in these random copy edit discussions. Speaking for myself (though I'm sure some of the others might agree). Just because I've copy edited some articles for Philippine television programs/networks does not mean I need to be pinged any time anybody on the project discusses one. You've already been warned by other editors, including administrators, to not do this. If you truly would like my assistance or input you are welcome to reach me on *my* talk page.
