Background
  • Given how short this section is, I'd merge it with "Production and composition" per MOS:PARAGRAPHS, which discourages really short sections
    •  Done
  • In "He’s angry with me because he thinks that I didn’t allow him to do his mix, but really it’s okay. He loves me, we’re going to make this work. And that’s good because it’s one of my favorite songs. I’m going to call him soon", ’ should be ' per MOS:QUOTEMARKS
  • It isn't necessary to state this was Mariah's first time working with Q-Tip since "Honey"
    • If it had only been a few years then I'd agree, but reuniting after 17 years is a long time. It's like when people said it's been 18 years since Mariah performed at the BBMA's.  — Calvin999 16:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Production and composition
  • "'80s" should be "1980s" per WP:YEAR, and the references for "dance" and "disco" don't mention any specific era; only "'80s-style pop"
    •  Done
  • "dipped in and out of" seems somewhat informal
    •  Done
  • Nothing else on the lyrics outside of Andy Warhol's "15 Minutes of fame" speech?
    • No, surprisingly. Just passing comments saying it includes it.  — Calvin999 16:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Critics noted that is also makes use of a 'rattling' percussion and a 70s style 'cosmic' synth line"..... "70s" should be "1970s" per WP:YEAR, and this is actually from one critic; Lewis Corner.
    •  Done
Critical reception
  • It's not necessary to mention Billie Frank. Also, see above comments on WP:YEAR
    •  Done
  • I see nothing supporting Corner feeling Mariah "is still staying true to who she is as an artist", which isn't exactly a necessary detail to begin with
    •  Done
  • Why is commentary from Donatella Versace included when she's not a music critic?
    • Where else should I include it?  — Calvin999 16:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Daily News" should read "New York Daily News"
    •  Done
  • "simply commented"..... commenting
    •  Done
  • Is AXS worth including if it's only a ticket merchant?
    • Yes, because it's someone who has written a review.  — Calvin999 16:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Live performances
  • This doesn't give a specific date for the World Music Awards, and only the month on its own is sufficient anyway
    •  Done
  • "Carey attracted some controversy"..... was criticized
    •  Done
  • Not sure the time of day is necessary to include
    • It's showing when she should have arrived and when she did arrive.  — Calvin999 16:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's nothing in the reference saying Mariah was the opening act
    • Added source.  — Calvin999 16:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not that I could find, though I did come across a better ref and used that for saying she was opening act and that her late arrival delayed the show Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:03, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Her outfit isn't really crucial detail
  • Rap-Up doesn't describe the performance as "dazzling"; only Vibe does
    • "with a dazzling performance of “Meteorite”"  — Calvin999 16:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • My bad, somehow didn't see that bit
  • "Hollywood Life" shouldn't be italicized, and its commentary isn't worth including since the source is unreliable to begin with
    •  Done
  • DirectLyrics accused Mariah of lipsyncing, not Spin Media
    •  Done
  • No commentary for her performances the song on tour?
Credits and personnel
  • Don't abbreviate states; "NY" should be "New York", and "CA" should be "California"
    •  Done
Charts
  • Not sure if this warrants its own section with only one region listed
References
  • "Fuse" shouldn't be italicized
    •  Done
  • "Daily News" should read "New York Daily News"
    •  Done
  • Irish Mirror doesn't seem very credible given its affiliation with Daily Mirror, a paper with poor journalistic credibility (at least compared to other UK papers like The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, and The Independent)
    • It's still a published newspaper which a lot of people buy and read.  — Calvin999 16:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Hollywood Life" is not reliable; it's a gossip site with a poor reputation that frequently gives false reports
  • The DirectLyrics ref has been erroneously labeled as "Spin Media", and lyric sites are not reliable for anything other than song lyrics
Overall
  • Well-written?
  • Prose quality: Could be better
  • Manual of Style compliance: Some issues
  • Verifiable?
  • Reference layout: Two problems
  • Reliable sources: Three unreliable citations
  • No original research: Not up to par
  • Broad in coverage?
  • Major aspects: Not quite
  • Focused: Unnecessary detail in some parts
  • Neutral?: No bias detected
  • Stable?: Looks good
  • Illustrated, if possible, by images?
  • Appropriate licensing: No copyright violations
  • Relevance and captioning: File:Eddie Kendricks (1972).png isn't particularly beneficial, and it would be better to simply state Q-Tip co-wrote and co-produced the song in the caption for his pic
