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

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - n
• Interesting: - n
• Other problems: - Cited source does not use the term "shimmer", and is paywalled, so it requires a quote. "Shimmer" is not a well-defined term to the average reader, since context is lacking. Suggest a re-word or alt that clarifies that this pertains specifically to a sound texture. It's not clear how readers would find it intriguing if it's not immediately clear what is meant.

QPQ: None required.

Overall: "Ombak" is a generic word meaning "wave" in Indonesian. It might be necessary to add a disambiguation notice that this pertains specifically to gamelan. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:09, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
