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:

Your copy is really clean, which is tough to come by. I don't quickpass pages often, but I can't let one copy change gum up the works, especially for a user on wikibreak.

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

• She wrote the track with Marc Shemer and the latter produced it with her as Scram Jones. "The latter" is unnecessary. Try She wrote the track with Marc Shemer, who also produced it with her under the name Scram Jones. This should be changed in the lead section and in text.

Sourcing and spot checks

• 1: Can't exactly check this to the offline source Chan, but seems okay.
• 4: Beyond the singles are several gorgeous moments of old-school soul: "Mine Again," "Stay the Night," "Circles," "Your Girl," "I Wish You Only Knew." Y
• 27: Quote checks out. Encouragement (not required for GA status, but I'd do this anyway): Link the first page of a multipage citation and the second page in the pages field. I have to do this quite often, e.g. ref [4] at KHSL-TV.
• 37: Both the article from 27 and Escobedo Shepherd call "Your Girl" the best song on the track.
• 39: Certain songs that I really didn’t get a chance to perform very much — like ‘I Wish You Knew,’ ‘Your Girl,’ and ‘Circles’ — we kind of made medleys out of a lot of these songs,” Checks out. Y

I made one edit that I'd like to highlight as a source hygiene recommendation. I revised the GenealogyBank URLs, which contained clipping IDs, to link not to /image/ pages that are subscriber only but to /newspaper-clippings/ pages that are freely viewable. GenealogyBank clippings are rare on the English Wikipedia—it just so happens your reviewer has the lion's share of them in TV station articles and 1% of all public clippings on the site, so this is something I've had to do. My guide to clipping is at WP:CLIP. Seems you've found the fact that GBank finally made itself truly nearly an equal to Newspapers.com this year.

Earwig catches work titles and a couple of attributed quotes. Nothing to make me nervous.
