Comment regarding the article title – MOS:ELLIPSIS says: Generally, use a non-breaking space before an ellipsis, and a regular space after it. The article title does not have a space before the ellipsis and I see no good reason why the space should not be there. Let's clear this up before it goes to the main page; wouldn't want to see this being moved whilst it is on the main page. Schwede 66 05:23, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: I would assume that MOS:ELLIPSIS is referring to how to write prose, not article titles. I can't find precedent that we conform ellipsis spacing to the MOS in titles. Here are some examples I found:

Endtroducing....., Let It Be... Naked, Oops!... I Did It Again (song), ...And Justice for All (album)

All sources use the "... " form. [5], [6], [7] (except Rolling Stone, which unspaces the ellipsis). Spacing the ellipsis in a way that no sources do would fail the "Naturalness" part of WP:CRITERIA. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 16:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: Does the above address your concerns? Z1720 (talk) 01:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose so. If it's done quite commonly, we have a perfect rebuttal if somebody moans about it at Errors. Schwede 66 02:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concern above has been resolved. New reviewer needed. Z1720 (talk) 02:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: ~~PerfectSoundWhatever The Personnel section needs to be referenced. Everything else is fine.~~ SL93 (talk) 19:06, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. It is sourced, to Tangari 2015 (pitchfork). It is not common practice nor practical to have an inline citation on every personnel entry. I thought keeping it in plain-text rather than a citation allowed for better legibility. Let me know if there is a policy that disallows this formatting. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 19:11, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't. I missed the citation while reviewing. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 19:16, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
