... that the Camping in Alaska song "C U in da Ballpit" was written in two hours after the band realized they rented too much time in the studio?

Source: "But that song, when we were 17, we had bought $900 worth of studio time to do our first album. We had extra time after everything, because it went smoother than we thought. And so we had like half a day left and we’re like, OK, well, let’s not waste it. So I wrote a song in two hours on a notebook and then we jammed it out."

ALT1: ... that despite "C U in da Ballpit" being Camping in Alaska's best known song, the band says they all hate it? Source: Well, something that everybody online who digs into us knows is that we hate that song. [Laughs]

Song titles ignore stylisations per MOS:TITLECAPS; for the hook, the song should be rendered "C U in da Ballpit". I'll leave it to you to update the article and the hook (most likely ALT0, as opinions can change).--Laun chba ller 14:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: I've made the fixes as requested. I also think ALT0 is the better of the two. ThaesOfereode (talk) 16:15, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Citations needed in Members section
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: The members section needs citations, particularly important as this is covered by WP:BLP. A random check of sources I could access revealed that the phrases "Cape left shortly after the release of Please Be Nice" and "which led to the band being signed to Broken World Media" are not covered in the citation at the end of that sentence, which does state that Broken World Media re-released the album and Cape left before Bathe was released. Otherwise hooks are interesting and cited, I assume good faith on paywalled sources and the article is new enough.

@CSJJ104: Thanks for taking a look at this; I appreciate you taking the time to do the review! Re: "Cape left shortly after the release of Please Be Nice", I think this is covered under WP:NOTOR#Simple calculations and "shortly" being relative to the band's overall time in existence (i.e., less than one year [Sept 2013 – Jun 2014] in a band that's been around ~11 years). I can still change it if you really, really insist, but I think this is probably fine as is. Re: "which led to the band being signed to Broken World Media", I've changed this to "; the band was signed to Broken World Media shortly thereafter". Current and former band members should be appropriately cited now. Please let me know if there's anything else that should be fixed. ThaesOfereode (talk) 02:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
