• I will take this on. Due to the size, it might take me a little while and multiple rounds so please bear with me. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 07:40, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• As per
  WP:MOSLEADCITE
  , there should be no citations in the lede.

But, as it also says "all quotations must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports it." ℛonherry☘ 16:43, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• "Numerous fans and consumer groups alleged that Ticketmaster is deceitful", is or were?

I agree that it should be past tense, but shouldn't it be "was" instead of "were"? Ticketmaster has been referred to as a singular entity throughout the articles, just like in the sources. ℛonherry☘ 16:45, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• As per
  MOS:ACRO1STUSE
  , the United Kingdom should be spelt out first and then UK/British afterwards (not U.K.)
• "Ticketmaster was a subject", "a subject" or "the subject"?
• "both Ticketmaster and Live Nation received backlash and media attention", from whom?
• In the Taylor Swift section, scalpers shouldn't be linked as it was already linked in the earlier Company section.
• "either completely logged out or in a queue 2,000-plus people strong that appeared frozen.", who said that? Also per
  MOS:PF
  , the punctuation should be at the end.
• "trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties", inline cite needed
  • More to come. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 17:17, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Why are the lawsuit sections in bullet points? As per
  WP:BULLET
  , it says "They are not appropriate for large paragraphs"
  • Same for political sections
• What is "Tickets today" and why is there no other mention of it in the article? As would be expected for a section header

It's a secondary platform that Ticketmaster used to sell the remaining tickets before the website crashed. It was their solution to the crisis, apparently. ℛonherry☘ 16:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• What area does AOC represent in the House?
  • Same for Pascrel and all other House reps and Senators

I've mentioned Pascrel and AOC's districts now. For those who hold bigger offices, like the chair of a committee, I think their biggest designation is enough, like in Klobuchar's case? ℛonherry☘ 17:08, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Should be "United States Attorney General" in full
• Need an inline citation for the "Grilled" line or it comes across as
  WP:POV
• Federal and State legislature sections, BULLET again.
  • same for Further Controversy
• Note 3 needs a citation for the list of politicians.
  • More to come. I Will try to review the references tomorrow. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 07:34, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @The C of E:  Done all, except those that've raised some questions about. ℛonherry☘ 17:21, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry for the delay @Ronherry:, real life stuff got in the way. I was pleasantly surprised after reviewing the sources, that I could find no issues with those and I accept the explanations for the above. So even though I know little about Swift nor know any of her songs, I think this is very well written and I am happy to approve it for GA status. Well done. The C of E God Save the King!
