Infobox and lead

  • 2014 recording year is unsourced & not mentioned in the article
     Done TS
  • The same above applies to "Dream pop" and "synth-pop"
     Done, and added one sourced genre. TS
  • Robinson said he took inspiration from "Sea of Voices" for "Unfold", not Nurture as a whole; change Nurture to "Unfold".
     Done TS

Background and composition

Release and promotion

  • "Though the song came as a surprise to followers of his work, it was well-received by audiences." I feel like this should be in Reception; same for the trending topic info
     Done TS
  • You should mention that the song specifically became a trending topic during the Oscars
     Done TS
  • There is no information about the remixes here
    plus Added TS

Reception

References

  • Ref 6 needs timestamp
     Done TS
  • "Interview" → "interview" in the title of ref 6, as you're following a consistent title casing for the references. I just discovered the URL has "OwO". I can't unsee this now.
    done uwu TS

  • Add italics to "Your EDM" in the title of ref 10
     Done TS
  • Italicize the name of the album in the title of ref 18
     Done TS
  • YourEDMYour EDM on ref 19
     Done. Thanks for the more detailed reference formatting checks! TS

Spot-check

  • 1 → "worked really hard on" isn't here, I think you meant to cite Cuepoint. Otherwise fine
    Correct;  fixed. TS
  • 7 → Fine, but I'd recommend citing ref 8 again immediately after the "sweeter, cuter, [and] more feminine" quote to clarify where it's from
     Sure TS
  • 8 → McCarthy didn't find inspirations from Justice. The article quotes Robinson saying Justice's "Cross" is an inspiration for him in general. Otherwise fine
    That's quite a silly thing for me to miss!  Removed TS
  • 11 → Fine
  • 15 → Fine
  • 17 → Fine

  • Source: McCarthy, Zel (2014-03-28). "Porter Robinson's tired of 'electro bangers', will switch things up on Worlds debut album". Billboard.
  • ALT1: ... that despite the single "Sea of Voices" being released just before the 86th Academy Awards, it became a trending topic on Twitter during the event? Source: ibid.
  • Reviewed: [[]]
  • Comment: This is my final QPQ-exempt nomination.
Improved to Good Article status by TechnoSquirrel69 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 5 past nominations.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: LGTM, hooks looks good overall, tho I feel like the second one could be punchier, however that should not block promotion. I now have something new to listen to while I code :) Sohom (talk) 22:12, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the review, Sohom! If you like this song, I can confirm that Porter Robinson has plenty of other good options to jam to while writing. :D TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:24, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
