I find this song title funny, so I'm biting at the GAN. I'll take a look tonight, try and post my review in the next few days. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:54, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Passing Infobox. (I didn't know that records were now measured in inches, as opposed to RPM.)

Lead

  • Given the extensive attention to the Miley Cyrus cover in the media and in this article, it should likely merit a warrant in the second paragraph of the lead.

Background and composition

  • I personally think you're over compensating for the fact that Pretty Much Amazing doesn't have an article on Wikipedia. Quotation marks around the outlet name, in the midst of multiple quotes... it just comes off as overkill.

Passing Critical reception, Commercial performance.

Music video

  • "it's had" seems too informal, also only YouTube and the YouTube channel itself can count viewers, what you're listing is views. Perhaps "As of June 2014, the video was viewed over 16 million times on YouTube."? Also, might as well update the stat.
  • Perhaps "a girl called Stephanie (Lamie Stewart) to get"? It seems odd introducing a non-notable cast member from the video so early in the going, before the character name means much to us.
  • The quotation marks here, around the pub name, are unnecessary.
  • Either "East London's Hoxton Street", or "Hoxton Street, East London". Large to small with a comma inbetween is just odd.

Live performances

  • You're missing the opening quotation mark on the song title in the last sentence.
  • Do the Arctic Monkeys tour? Have they included this song on their set list? Have they played it at any of the key British music festivals?

Miley Cyrus version

  • I find it intriguing that Time magazine now reviews MTV Unplugged specials. (That's just something I had to mention, nothing to do with this article.)
  • I'm offline as I write this, so I can't double check, but I presume the italicization of the song title is copied in from the Belfast Telegraph? Feel free to override the formatting of an outlet, if their formatting disagrees with Wikipedia's normal style guide. It's not a must, but I would personally replace the italics with the 'Why'd...High' single line quotation marks as seen earlier in the paragraph.

Passing Track listing, Personnel, Charts, Release history, Categories.

Ref 26 fails Checklinks... it seems that the website it was from is dead? http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webchecklinks.py?page=Why%27d_You_Only_Call_Me_When_You%27re_High%3F#view:0.1.1.1.1.1

Media licenses fine.

I haven't bothered to look at the article history to see what the article was like as of its GA1, it looks like all of those issues are long gone. Congrats on the quick turnaround in whipping this into shape. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:44, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Very close to GA, but it seems this article has been abandoned by the nominee. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:10, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
