I will get on with this right away! --K. Peake 13:17, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

  • Infobox looks good!
  • Remove close wikilink on riff per MOS:LINKSTYLE
  • Pipe music critics to Music journalism
  • "otherwise found it" → "otherwise found the song"
  • "Commercially "False God" peaked at number 56" → "Commercially, the song peaked at number 59"
  • List the full name of the ARIA Singles Chart
  • Mention that the certification was in Australia
  • "by its musical director" → "by the show's musical director" and mention the years of this performance and her tour
  • Mention Ryan Hurd's cover version
    • I also included James Bay if that's okay. Gained (talk) 16:15, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Background and release[edit]

  • The "love letter to love itself" quote is not mentioned by the source
  • "celebrity at the time" is not needed in the sentence since we know the media would be focused on her status and at the time is implied
  • Wouldn't the chart positions go better in a new para of reception, retitling to simply this word?
    • Personally, I think they fit better with "Background and release" and I believe it's too short to a new paragraph for it on "Critical reception". I also think that section is very tightly focused so adding info about chart performance would kinda make it a bit unfocused and forced. Gained (talk) 16:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The correct Australia position is number 59, not 56

Production and music[edit]

  • Audio sample looks good!
  • "in New York City, and" → "in New York City (NYC), and" per later instances appearing in the article
  • Pipe Michael Riddleberger to Bleachers (band)
  • "Sterling Sound in New York City." → "Sterling Sound in NYC."
  • Either remove the pipe on Evan Smith or send to Bleachers (band), not sure since they are already linked
  • "considered it "faux-R&B"." → "considered the song "faux-R&B"."
  • Re-invoke the Lipshutz ref for the slow jam sentence
  • Maybe only use the dash as 1980s R&B-influenced?
  • lovers' rock → lovers rock with the wikilink

Lyrical content and analysis[edit]

  • First para looks good!
  • "using heaven imagery:" → "using heavenly imagery:"
  • "The couple encounters problems" → "The couple encounters challenges"
  • "to make amends but" → "to make amends, but"
  • "Religious imagery continue" → "Religious imagery continues"
  • "my hips"[31] and ultimately accepts" → "my hips",[31] ultimately accepting"
  • "the mentions of New York City and" → "the mentions of NYC and"
  • Maybe it would be suitable to mention "Cruel Summer" is from this album and the other two tracks are from 1989?

Critical reception[edit]

  • "called it a" → "called the song a"
  • Refinery29 should not be italicised
  • "to be confident that evoked" → "to have confidence that evoked" or something similar to be clear
  • "Lipshutz ranked it third among" → "Lipshutz ranked the song third among"
  • "Some critics regarded" → "A few critics regarded"
  • "and the New-York references ineffective but" → "and the NYC references ineffective, but"
  • "somewhat experimental production but" → "somewhat experimental production, but"

Live performances and covers[edit]

  • Img looks good!
  • The flat shoes are not sourced
  • "and "vibey" and highlighting" → "and "vibey", and highlighting"
  • "of the 45th Saturday Night Live season;" → "of the 45th SNL season;"
  • The one on guitar and one on piano throughout the tour is not sourced as far as I can see
  • "on the 53 U.S. dates,"
  • "The next year, she performed" → "In 2024, she performed"
  • Mention that James Bay sang the chorus as falsetto
  • "on his 2020 Platonic Tour: he replaced the" → "on his 2020 Platonic Tour, replacing the"
