Guitar Songs is the second extended play (EP) by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish. Released without prior warning to digital platforms on July 21, 2022, it consists of two balladsโ"TV" and "The 30th". Both songs feature Eilish's soft vocals over a minimalist production consisting of an acoustic guitar. The two also have closely personal lyrics, a product of issues that Eilish had faced while writing them. Music critics praised Guitar Songs for its lyricism, and some considered this a testament to her songwriting talent.

Commentthe main article Guitar Songs uses "the EP" too much in the lead, especially the second para when the title is not even used once but otherwise,fantastic job on these well-written, reliably sourced articles that I proudly reviewed two of! --K.

- Comment This is nitpick-y but I notice the redundant
|language=en
in some references. May I know how did you cite sources? Ippantekina (talk) 16:56, 18 September 2022 (UTC)- @Ippantekina: the primary way I cite sources is by using the Visual Editor's citation maker - it's hard for me to format refs on Wikitext, so this was a more convenient way of doing it for me, blips aside... generating citations using that method automatically adds
|language=en
for English-language websites. I used to think they were useless, though another editor informed me that the parameter helps translating editors with recreating an article in another language - i.e. the reference will show up w/ something like "(in English)" in other language Wikipedias. I can put the parameter on all the other refs - or remove them altogether - for consistency, if you wish. โ โ Your Power ๐ โ โ ๐ฌ "What did I tell you?"

- How does that help other editors? The information it is still in English, seems redundant. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:35, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- In case some editors want to translate the articles to another-language Wikipedia it can prove helpful. I personally would remove the language parameters for English-language sources, but it's not a big obstacle for me to not support the nom. Ippantekina (talk) 02:54, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
