Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 11:41, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• The "short description" should be above everything else per WP:ORDER.
• I would put WAAF (and maybe K-Love) in bold since they're other names for the station.

History

• Serial commas after "marketing, promotion", Van Halen, WRKO, and "Joe Calgaro, Mistress Carrie".
• Commas after "November 26, 1988", "November 17, 1997", and "August 12, 2009" per WP:DATECOMMA.
• Some block quotes are missing sources.
• "and son Lee Zapis" → "and his son Lee Zapis"
• Remove the comma after "core artists".
• "Mittman in particular praised" → "Mittman, in particular, praised"
• The last sentence in #Alternative_and_"raunchy"_lean needs a source.
• For both uses, "cancelled" → "canceled" (American English for American station).
• Should "compliant" be "complaint"? They mean very different things.
• "hosted on an" → "hosted an"
• The first paragraph in #Signal_adjustments needs more sources.
• "cancelling" → "canceling" (see above)

Current programming

• No issues here.

References

• Sources are archived.
• Don't use WP:ALLCAPS for #125.
• Add the "use mdy dates" template to fix references.
• Mark sources from The New York Times with "|url-access=limited".

Progress

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. 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:

Thanks, Some Dude From North Carolina. I've tackled the vast majority of the issues raised with the sole exception of the last sentence in "Alternative and raunchy lean", a rare example of the type of connective sentence bridging sections together that has no citations of its own (it's a sentence backed up by the entire next section, essentially, and it's needed to provide the logical link).

@Sammi Brie: Fair enough; passing the article. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 21:46, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
