Guitar Songs

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 ballads—"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.

Support ~~Comment~~ ~~the 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)[reply]
- @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. ‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ ‍ ^{💬 "What did I tell you?"}

  I see. Thanks for clarifying! Support-- Ippantekina (talk) 04:06, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  
  How does that help other editors? The information it is still in English, seems redundant. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:35, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  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)[reply]

2019–20 snooker season

The professional events played during the 2019–20 snooker season

Contributor(s): Lee Vilenski

All of the professional events that make up the season are here. There is also additional articles such as the main one, the rankings and X in cue sport lists (which can be removed if not suitable) Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:40, 22 May 2022 (UTC) --Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:40, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Just as a heads up, you have three dab links in the table: 2020 Championship League, 2020 European Masters and 2020 World Grand Prix. Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 13:43, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Changed Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:56, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ According to 2019–20 snooker season the following events were also part of the season: 2019 World Seniors Championship, 2019 UK Seniors Championship, 2020 World Seniors Championship, but none is GA or better. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 22:58, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per comment above. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:53, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~, unfortunately, per above. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:36, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like 2020 World Seniors Championship is now a GA and can be added to the proposal, and 2019 World Seniors Championship is a GAN. I'm willing to hold off on closing this, since it seems to be actively undergoing work to complete the proposal. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 14:46, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quick update on these, the three items missing are all at GAN (and one has passed). Would you support Armbrust, MarioSoulTruthFan when these pass? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:29, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, no problem. Just add them on the table once they become GA. Cheers, MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:08, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that’s fine with me. Although I don’t think the in cue sports articles should be in this topic. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 20:34, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Please ping me when the set is complete. Like Armbrust, I think that the '(year) in cue sports' articles should be excluded. I also question the inclusion of the Seniors Championships - it might be better to rephrase the topic as something along the lines of "2019–20 World Snooker Tour season", and use WST calendars as the guide for what to include, at least for recent seasons. (e.g. this calendar doesn't mention the World Seniors.) Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 08:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That was originally what the scope was - but the opposes made me add the seniors events in. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am finally there with this nom. I've removed the two "X in cue sports" articles per request, and the remaining articles are now GA or above. - could I get a confirmation of happyness? BennyOnTheLoose, Armbrust, MarioSoulTruthFan and Bryanrutherford0? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FGTC coordinators: - as this one's been open for a while (by my own fault admittedly), I think the general consensus is that I've now covered the topic with the additional articles - is there anything more I need to do? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:38, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

World Professional Match-play Championship (snooker)

The World Professional Match-play Championship was a professional snooker tournament established in 1952 as an alternative to the professional World Snooker Championship by some of the professional players, following a dispute with the sport's governing body. Fred Davis won the first five editions of the tournament, but didn't participate in 1957, when John Pulman won. After this, the event was discontinued due to a decline in the popularity of snooker. A tournament with the same name was staged in 1976. The events from 1952 to 1957 are now regarded as editions of the world snooker championships, but the 1976 one is not.

ON TV (TV network)

ON TV was an American subscription television (STV) service that operated from 1977 to 1985, mostly owned by Oak Industries. ON TV represented the equipment manufacturer's foray into the communications industry. Subscribers paid money to rent a decoder box and receive monthly service, which was broadcast in scrambled form over eight UHF television stations and featured movies (including softcore pornography for an extra charge), sports, concerts, and special events. While ON TV operated the most successful STV service in the United States, in Los Angeles, the business dwindled after 1982 due to the rise of cable television, signal piracy, and a poor economy, as well as several content disputes with individual stations over airtime and adult programming. The last ON TV operation, in Chicago, closed in 1985; the eight stations each reverted to commercial programming, three of them becoming Spanish-language stations.

This is my first ever GT nomination and the first GT in the field of broadcasting. I have been working toward this all year by improving each of the articles to GA status (ON TV was promoted last year). --Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:58, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Support: That's a lot of good work! I'm a little concerned about FT/GT criterion 1c: "All articles or lists in the topic are linked together, preferably using a template, and share a common category or super-category." The main article barely has links to some of the stations; I think it would go a long way to even just have a "Further" hatnote at the start of each station's section. Likewise, there's no shared category that I can see, and no navbox template. I suppose you can just create the category connection; probably the ON TV history is important enough to each station to justify it. I think I can support it once this is addressed. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 01:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bryanrutherford0, I just created Category:ON TV (TV network) which should cover it. A navbox would be overkill, especially as these pages tend to have several of them and this is a comparatively low-affinity grouping. (Three of the eight and another two of the eight are each linked by a navbox by virtue of having a common owner now.) I also added {{further}} hatnotes in the main article. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:29, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Good work! I can support it now. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 21:47, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bryanrutherford0: I wouldn't normally ask, but I'd like to have this promoted so I can count it with my WikiCup contributions (October 31 is the last day). Even if I might not be getting first, I'm proud of the fact that WikiCup led me to my first-ever GT, and I'd like to be able to claim it for points.
