Starting the review. Good job Unique boy. Very few issues.

  1. Replace nornal dashes with en-dash wherever applicable (infobox, credits, referernce titles etc)
  2. At present the infobox is appearing a little cluttered. I suggest downsizing—the recording info needs a reference from the album liner notes or something since I don't find it in the body. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 14:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • There was once reference in the credits section but I realised it wasn't fully clear so a second was added. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 14:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  3. The length of the digital and the single edits are almost same, any one of them will suffice.
  4. The line in the lead: "Commercially, the song was also successful earning six platinum certifications and four gold", you need to be specific where it got the platinum certi and where it received gold.
  5. Is Rowland's third album name confirmed as Kelly Rowland?
    • I brought this up at WP:Content noticeboard where it was said that because Kelly Rowland was the last confirmed album name it should be left. She did say in an interview that she might still call it that if another name cannot be thought of.-- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 14:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  6. However whilst out in Europe in 2008 — "whilst"?? where art thou? Try "While travelling in Europe, she met Guetta at one of his DJ shows in Southern France. She commented that "listening to him was just crazy."
  7. Ugh "Guetta was playing the instrumental version of "When Love Takes Over". Rowland said "It brought tears to my eyes" — "Guetta was playing the instrumental version of "When Love Takes Over", which Rowland reminisced as "It brought tears to my eyes""
  8. Later in 2010 when recording her third studio album — Thats twice you are referring to the album as third studio album, why not the self-titled third album? Readers would be enlightened then.
  9. After gaining Guetta's blessings to write the vocals to the song, Rowland took the instrumental version to London, UK — Lol, you make Guetta sound as God. Rephrase.
  10. The sheet music image is actually not helping at all in understanding anything. You have clearly mentioned the composition chords in words, hence the image is failing WP:NFCC#8.
  11. "Ray Of Light" — small "o" and don't forget to mention the year in bracket, since a timeline is needed to maintain how much old that track is, and how Rowland's voice carried that screeching quality.
  12. All Music = Allmusic
  13. It was certified Gold in France by the — better would be to include the shipements that led to the certification, since you are not linking List of music recording certifications anywhere.
    • fixed, the link is provided in certs section but also added to the chart performance and intro. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 15:01, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  14. In Rowland's native country of the United States, the single was successful topping — a comma after successful
  15. left a lasting legacy on the U.S. Dance Charts — I don't follow
  16. removed for clarity, -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 15:01, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  17. "When Love Takes Over was raced online in a panic when not one but two spoiler (and indeed near-identical) cover versions started to race up the iTunes rankings — Rephrase, or chop off. Doesnot make any sense.
  18. It gave Rowland her UK number one — you know what is missing
  19. on the 15 June 2009 for selling 400,000 copies — nopes, BPI uses shipments.
  20. BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge — Why is Live Lounge italicized all of a sudden? And I'm sure Radio 1 Live Lounge serves as a wholesome wikilink than separately wikilinking them to BBC and the other.
  21. The whole tracklisting section needs en-dashing
  22. Same with credits.
  23. Remove the sortable function from certifications. Not needed. And where is the six times platinum that you referred in the lead? I don't see it in any of the certifying bodies.
  24. We had a consensus to remove Chart processions, but you can include a see also section listing the particular chart lists, so that readers can directly link the song to the country chart.
  25. And finally, there are quite a few spelling mistakes. I suggest a trick. Copy the whole code in MS word, which will immediately point you the spelling errors. Correct them in word, copy the code, and paste in wiki. You can do the same for replacing normal "-" with "–".

One teensy change in the credits section, it should be artist name, then an en-dash, then the work they have done. Check out the FA "4 Minutes". — Legolas (talk2me) 04:12, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Not a major issue, but if you wanted to, you could upload the single cover in high resolution to the Commons. I would definitely consider it simple geometric shapes and text. –Chase (talk) 04:18, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
