Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

Well-written

"from the show's debut extended play, Victorious 2.0: More Music from the Hit TV Show." - "from the show's debut extended play (EP), Victorious 2.0: More Music from the Hit TV Show (2012)."

Done

"following after your dreams" - see MOS:YOU.

Changed it

"The song was released as a single in Australia by Sony Music first through radio airplay on November 1, 2012, then by digital download release on November 9." - this could be worded better. I suggest "The song was released as a single in Australia by Sony Music to radio airplay on November 1, 2012, and digital download on November 9." I would also link radio airplay and digital download.

Done

"The track incorporates acoustic and electric guitars and drum kicks" - "The track incorporates acoustic and electric guitars as well as drum kicks".

Done

"with lyrics centered about a person dreaming about success" - "with lyrics centered on a person dreaming about success".

Done

"the main attraction here" - no need for "here" imo.

Done

"calling it "motivational" and mentioned" - "calling it "motivational" and mentioning".

Done

"The Best Songs from Victorious" shouldn't be in italics.

Changed where only "Victorious" is in italics.

"Justice performed the song live on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2012. Justice also performed the song during her first solo tour in the United States in late 2012." - "Justice performed the song live on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2012, and also sang it during her first solo tour in the United States in late 2012."

Done

Merge the music video and performance paragraphs since they are a bit short.

Done

Link mastering engineer, mixing engineer, and engineer in Personnel since these are not common terms.

Done

Link Columbia in the Release history table.

Done

Verifiable

Earwig's Copyvio shows Violation unlikely with the highest similarity at 19.4%. Great.
For the Spotify and Apple sources (in both ocasions), I think only one of them would be needed.

Removed Spotify for both the single and album release dates.

PopCrush is generally unreliable per WP:NOTRSMUSIC.

I have removed it. I have also removed how the music video was first released in May 2012 because PopCrush was the only source mentioning that release date,

How is MovieWeb reliable?

MovieWeb is reliable because it is an entertainment news website and is the only reliable source that mentions the song's music video.

I don't think that's a reason for a website to be reliable, but with a quick search I found that it has editorial oversight and the author has worked in other reliable publications such as Pulse Nigeria. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 03:01, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Spot-check with numbers as of this revision:
- Ref 3 verifies the episode's plot. Y
- Ref 6 verifies Australian release. Y
- Ref 10 verifies it is a pop song. Y
- Ref 12 verifies Melillo's opinion but also mentions other songs, perhaps it could be changed to "opined that "Make It in America" was one of the songs that..."
Done
- Ref 13 verifies Phares's opinion. Y

Broad, neutral, stable

No issues with these criteria: no excessive details, bias, or edit wars. Y

Illustrated

Only the cover artowrk, which is correctly licensed but needs ALT text.

Done
