Vespertine

Nominator(s): Bleff (talk) 07:03, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about Björk's fourth studio album. I worked a lot on this article back in 2014-16 and was encouraged to eventually nominate for FAC by the reviewer of its Good article nomination. Since then I have been very intimidated by the idea of nominating an article to FA, but I am determined to undertake this new challenge. Bleff (talk) 07:03, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

File:Hidden Place sample.ogg non-free rationale needs to be filled out
File:Pagan Poetry music video.jpg Not convinced of the NFCC value for this one. The caption also doesn't have an obvious connection to the image.

Fixed, thank you. --Bleff (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The image is a screenshot of the "Pagan Poetry" music video and, if you look closely, it shows unsimulated fellatio. It is a home recording of the singer actually having sex, as described in the section, and the careful way it was edited accounts for the highly sexual but stylized tone of the album and its visual derivatives. --Bleff (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from 100cellsman

Are you sure you're wanting to tackle this without a WP:Peer Review? From a glance, I'm not confident that this article is ready for Featured Status. It tends to overuse quotes, sometimes quite lengthy ones too. This article may be too broad in some places, for example, the instance of Björk fighting with Von Trier. Also the article states that the album is different from Homogenic three times in different ways. As a Björk fan, I'd like for this article to head the right direction and I'm willing to highlight what can be improved, otherwise its a leaning oppose for me. 웃O O 04:04, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take your advice as a fellow fan. Thank you! The request is found at Wikipedia:Peer review/Vespertine/archive1 and help from any reviewer is appreciated. --Bleff (talk) 17:02, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the intrusion. I just wanted to add the @FAC coordinators: ping so that the coordinators can see this. Aoba47 (talk) 03:34, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
