Infobox
  • The album's recording dates can't automatically be applied to songs; date ranges for specific songs are needed, so just use "2012" if anything unless a range specifically for this song's recording can be used
Done
  • Remove the album tracklisting; these sorts of things have been repeatedly deleted through TfD's
Done
Lead
  • In its current state, this does not fully summarize the entire article per WP:LEAD. For example, there should be something on chart performance when information is known. I would at least include UK Rock since that was its highest chart positioning, and probably US Alternative songs. There also is nothing on the composition.
Done
Background and release
  • A more appropriate title would be "Recording and release"
Done
  • "The band performed other songs that were on the track listing of ¡Uno!; 'Oh Love' and 'Carpe Diem'" is better suited for the album article rather than here
Done
  • ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! don't belong here as this song isn't part of those albums
Done
  • The release dates of "Oh Love" and "Kill the DJ" are irrelevant; this article isn't about those songs
Done
Theme and composition
  • File:Green Day - Let Yourself Go.ogg is 0.3 seconds too long per WP:SAMPLE, where it cannot exceed 30 seconds or whatever 10% of the song's length is. Also, I'm not sure its inclusion is particularly beneficial. Either way, the description used isn't very informative.
Same issue were raised during the last GA and I had trimmed it down to precisely 17.69s. However it is showing 18s somehow. Let me know if I should further trim it. — Yash! [talk] 01:47, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Probably best to reduce down to 17 seconds Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:27, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I will do it soon. Thanks — Yash! [talk] 09:59, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • "90s" should be "1990s", and "80s" should be "1980s" per MOS:DATE
Done
  • "The song sees Green Day harken back" is an opinion, so attribute this to NME with quotes
Done
  • "The song also reflects the style of" is also an opinion, so attribute this to Slant explicitly
Done
Critical reception
  • ""Tre’s" should be "Tre's" per MOS:QUOTEMARKS
Tré refers to Tré Cool, the drummer
Done
Done
Live performances
  • "where they performed an entire set of over 15 new songs from the then-unannounced ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy"..... again, keep the focus on ¡Uno!, and various songs will do just fine
Done
  • "The front-man Billie Joe Armstrong was admitted to hospital" → "Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong was hospitalized
Done
Chart performances
  • MOS:PARAGRAPHS discourages really short sections like this, so I'd probably move the info from this to the section on release
Done
  • Try to use more than "it" to describe the song
Done

Overall
  • Well-written?
  • Prose quality: Could be better
  • Manual of Style compliance: Not quite
  • Verifiable?
  • Reference layout: Needs some work
  • Reliable sources: Almost
  • No original research: Dead links make things harder to verify
  • Broad in coverage?
  • Major aspects: While shorter than many song articles that go through GAN, I'm pretty sure this includes all the essential bits
  • Focused: Some irrelevant detail needs to be removed
  • Neutral?: No bias in the article, even if some attribution to opinions is needed
  • Stable?: Looks good
  • Illustrated, if possible, by images?
  • Appropriate licensing: Audio sample is a bit long
  • Relevance and captioning: Not sure if audio sample is beneficial
I will start working soon. The review is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Yash! 02:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sure thing. When you do get to this, I just remembered something; song writers and producers are missing within prose. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:43, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Added one more image. — Yash! [talk] 09:59, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You've done well so far, Yash!, though remember song writers and producers also need to be included in lead. Additionally, MTV and VH1 are (incorrectly) italicized; please fix that. I'll have another look-through afterwards. Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:56, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
