Talk:Lovesick Girls

Notability

Hello, Personally, it’s great to have one more article to edit, but this page is lacking content. All it has is a short background section, a release history, and a top. I feel like this article doesn’t meet Wikipedia notability standards. I am thinking of blanking the page and redirecting it to The Album (Blackpink album). It just doesn’t make sense to have a very short article with three sources! If anyone wants to expand, I’m fine with that. Thanks! Doggy54321 (talk) 10:48, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• Mention in the first sentence that it was recorded for their debut studio album, The Album (2020); re-word the later sentence to simply mentioning its release date as the album's third single with labels
• "It was written by" shouldn't this be written and composed per the body's wording and are commas not used before "and" in lists for Japanese English? Also, move the writing/production before release info in the lead.
• The production is not directly mentioned in prose in the body, which needs to be for writing in the lead
• ""Lovesick Girls" is a" → "It is a"
• "from EDM. Its lyrics explore" → "from EDM and punk rock, with lyrics exploring" with the wikilink
• "received praise from music critics" should have the pipe from music critics to Music journalism, however is "widespread acclaim" possible to be noted here since these reviews are glowing looking at the level of praise?
• "Commercially, "Lovesick Girls" peaked at" → "Commercially, the song peaked at"
• Pipe Gaon Digital Chart to Circle Digital Chart
• Remove wikilinks on Malaysia and Singapore
• "It received platinum certifications in streaming" → "The song received platinum certifications in streaming from both" mentioning the names of the certification bodies, doing this for Australia gold certification too
• "Its accompanying music video," → "An accompanying music video," with the wikilink and the director needs to be sourced in the body
• Keep the sixth biggest debut fact on YouTube but remove the 61.4 million views from lead, as this is too much detail for here
• Add a sentence about what happens in the video
• Mention what year the music performances were

 Done

Background and release

• Should it be mentioned that the teasers were for The Album per the source?
• "on September 28." → "on September 27." per the source's year
• "concept teaser" where is this part mentioned by the sources?
• "The next day," → "On September 29, 2020,"
• "on October 2, serving" → "on October 2, 2020, serving" per this being a new para
• The song is with, not featuring, Selena Gomez
• "which was released in" → "which were released in"
• Pipe digital download to Music download
• Pipe streaming to Streaming media

 Done

Composition and lyrics

• Audio sample needs rationale completed and also, add mention of the lyrics on the text here
• Why no mention of actual producers at this point?
• "Stylistically, it is a" → "Musically, "Lovesick Girls" is a"
• "wrote how "Their voices are" → "wrote that Blackpink's voices "are"
• Only British Vogue should be italicized in the publication's title and identify the author by name in prose
• Img looks good!
• "explore owning independence" → "explores owning independence"
• "as "heartfelt anthem" → "as "a heartfelt anthem" and add the name of the author
• Use the name of Sue Ng instead of Young Post and the author should not be italicized
• [22] should be invoked after the quotation sentence too

 Done

Critical reception

• Identify as music critics and going back to what I mentioned in the lead about the summary, these reviews are highly positive so maybe widespread acclaim would be suited here?
• "with a fresh aesthetic."" → "with a fresh aesthetic"." per MOS:QUOTE
• Pipe Insider to Insider (website) per MOS:LINK2SECT
• "a "EDM-flavored" → "an "EDM-flavored"
• "smash hit" → "2019 hit single" since the former does not have neutrality
• I am not sure if BuzzFeed should be used here per WP:BUZZFEED and if you can justify, mention the reviewer's name and also cite what she said makes the song a masterpiece like the vocals for instance
• Like above, mention that Zwick did praise their vocals
• "Kat Moon from Time agreed," → "Moon from Time agreed," per this reviewer having been introduced previously
• "of 'As If It's Your Last'", which" → "of 'As If It's Your Last'" in 2017, which"
• Add the name of the Dazed reviewer
• "and highlighted how" → "and highlighting how"
• Mention the name of DJ from the CNN Philippines source and this should not be italicized
• "years to come."" → "years to come"."

 Done

Accolades

• Are you sure there should not be a comma before the "and" that follows Music Bank?
• I appreciate most of the first para is a summary of the later information sourced, however since the Inkigayo sentence mentions the "triple crown" you should add a reference there
• Pipe Gaon Chart Music Awards to Circle Chart Music Awards, also my translation is showing this award as song of the year?

 Done

Commercial performance

• Remove the second week in the top 10 per WP:CHARTTRAJ
• Add a ref for the weeks on Global Excl. US too since this chart is not on the Global 200 history
• "In the United States, "Lovesick Girls" debuted" → "In the US, "Lovesick Girls" debuted" per MOS:US
• The seventh chart-topper part is not sourced
• Pipe Gaon Digital Chart to Circle Digital Chart
• Like previous, the second track for top two is not sourced
• Pipe RIS to Recording Industry Association Singapore
• No sourcing for the European group of countries and shouldn't there be a comma before the number 78 peak?

 Done

• Wikilink music video
• "On September 30, the group" → "On September 30, 2020, the group"
• "18 hours after its release." → "18 hours after release."
• "It garnered 61.4 million views in its first 24 hours, making it" → "The visual garnered 61.4 million views in its first 24 hours, becoming"
• Shouldn't there be a comma before Rosé and also, the source says Cadillac not Oldsmobile
• "before flashbacking to the members" → "before moving forward to the members" or something similar, per the source and the ref should be re-invoked here with the direct quoting of lyrics
• "strikes them in many different ways," → "strikes them in various ways," to not copy the source exact
• Pipe day-glo to Day-Glo Color Corp.
• Remove overly obvious wikilink on guitar
• Either mention the city by name if this is known or change to "sprints throughout the streets"
• "on October 7 with" → "on October 7, 2020, with"

 Done

Live performances and other usage

• Img looks good!
• Mention when the promotion was on those music programs
• "In the United States, Blackpink performed" → "In the US, Blackpink performed" per MOS:US
• "on November 25." → "on November 25, 2020."
• The Music Station appearance should mention they appeared to perform the song if this was done
• Mention that an extended intro was used on the tour and there is no date sourced for the tour's beginning nor the 66 shows
• "during the group's headlining sets" → "during Blackpink's headlining sets"
• Wikilink Coachella to itself and mention the rainbow streamers from this performance
• Wouldn't the television usage be more suitable to mention the scene it appeared in of the film rather than being mentioned as a soundtrack song?
• Wikilink "From Beer to Paternity" per MOS:LINK2SECT

 Done

Credits and personnel

• Use {{spaced ndash}} so there is the right space between credits and personnel
• For a consistent order, Brian Lee should either be after the lyricists or composers should come before those only credit as lyricists

 Not done per Template:Screen reader-only and a discussion at WT:ACCESS several months ago, which essentially stated that using the template is no problem.

• Pipe Gaon Music Chart to Circle Chart

 Done

Certifications

• I appreciate the effort, however the 100 million figures are obviously not accurate especially with less than that number in South Korea!

Release history

• See MOS:TABLECAPTION
