Alright, since this is a short article with no reviewer in a while, I'll handle the duty myself. We should be done quickly.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 07:50, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

- Overall:
- Notes
- The lead doesn't require citations if the information is already referenced in the body of the text (which is the case).
- The description "historically significant song" kinda pushes towards WP:PEACOCK. Have you considered just Tipitina is a song written by...
- Is this set of edits better?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 09:16, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I guess that will do the work.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 11:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Again, avoid clauses like "a legend of New Orleans music". There are others more "neutral" descriptions like noted/prominent musician, etc.
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:44, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- The song was originally only a local hit in New Orleans. Otherwise, the song was not a hit.—If I understood well, after its release, the song became a hit only in New Orleans, but it was not that successful in the rest of the United States? I suggest some re-wording here, because this could be easily misinterpreted.
- Done.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:52, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- "The 2011 National Recording Registry list included the song."—Doesn't "In 2011, the song was included in the National Recording Registry" read better? And don't forget to link National Recording Registry.
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:01, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- "According to some sources"—I think the source should be explicitly credited, if that's John Crosby, I guess.
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:44, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Of course, a cite is needed for Scorsese's cover.
- Ref added.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- A reference is required for the version of Bo Dollis & The Wild Magnolias
- Reffed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:24, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Verdict
Since all the improvements regarding the prose were done, I'll evaluate the article according to the GA criteria. The text is understandable and well referenced, so that's first criteria fulfilled. Broad in its coverage–since the song is historically significant, I guess you'll have to do a major expanding if you want to bring this to FA, but as far as the good article criteria go, this article would make it. Except for the single cover, which usage is justified, there isn't any non-free material used. Congratulation, the article passes.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 08:08, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
Cosimo Matassa[edit]
Cosimo Matassa is shown as co-writer of the tune on the record label, but is not listed in the infobox. It may of course be true that Matassa, as "producer", simply added his name to obtain royalties rather than having any creative input, as was very widespread practice in the recording industry at that time. Are there any specific references we can use that explain Matassa's input on this particular recording? In any case, the article should aim to be consistent - or at least explain the inconsistency.
