Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:
· · ·

Prose

• Article is disjointed in several places, including the lead; lack of flow. However, its chronological organization is alright. I'll try fix the lead.
  • Do you think you could tell me specifically what is disjointed and/or what I would need to do to fix it?
• (lead) with some writing that it did not live up to its potential and falls short of the success built up from "White Iverson". Could this be phrased better?
  • Will get to this later
    • "with some saying it did not live up to its potential or match the success of "White Iverson"." is this good?
• During May 2016, he released his debut mixtape August 26th, which was titled after the original planned release date of Stoney. It was then delayed, which he has since apologized for. phrase better.
  • Will get to this later
    • "His debut mixtape, August 26th, was released in May 2016. It was titled after the original planned release date for Stoney, though it was subsequently delayed." how is this?

References

• No unreliable sources used.

Broad

• Wide scope, covering recording, songs, reception and whatnot. Yeah.

Stable

• Mostly? Most changes have been pretty recent, but mostly from nom.
• may need consensus on what post malone is: revision history suggests disagreement over terming him a rapper or singer (it varies on pages)
  • The majority seems to refer to him as a singer. It’s just one editor that keeps reverting it back (AndrewTheWikiEditor) but from messages on his talk page, he looks like a vandal.

NPOV

• how do the comments about posty being a "culture vulture" tie into the album (i.e. compared to how the columbine controversy relates to marilyn manson's holy wood)? Otherwise i am unsure of its relevance to the article/neutrality. // Chchcheckit (talk) 12:16, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

I only included it to show that the success of "White Iverson" was not all sunshine and rainbows and it did get criticism. Since I added in its accomplishments (gaining him a record deal, working with high profile artists, and certified diamond) I feel like I should also include how people criticized Posty and the song online. I can remove though if you think it shouldn't be in the article. Locust member (talk) 15:17, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Spotchecks

• pending

Copyvio

• Earwig: highest is 27.5%, passes
• Both artworks and Dallas photo have appropriate rationale and use.

Yeah. //Chchcheckit (talk) 12:16, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
