# Talk:A Welsh Singer

I shortened the reception sections per guidance such as Wikipedia:Copyediting reception sections and most notably WP:OQ and MOS:QUOTE. Excessive quotations that can otherwise be paraphrased are unnecessary and fairly encyclopedic. Some of the reviews are stating very generic praise that does not need to be quoted directly; the exact wording Birkenhead News used is not important, that they praised the film is. The advertisements, IMO, fall very much under WP:INDISCRIMINATE, especially since they are primary sources. Every silent films back in the day got tons of ads, do we really need to know advertisements for the film thought it was good? This is especially true since we have a scholarly secondary source (Moody 2007) which talks about the film's pressbook and how it was advertised.

Ok Generalissima, I think I was being needlessly defensive of the article, as it has just been promoted. I've returned to your version of the reaction section and condensed down the advertisements. --Llewee (talk) 21:36, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
Looks good to me! Apologizes for any annoyances. Nothing personal at all, I watchlist the GAN feed and often check to see if any articles are missing anything that I'd want to see on a GA. Generalissima (talk) (it/she)   22:16, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
