As you can see, I've split the review up into sections that mirror that of the article for ease. Any green text is something being quoted from the article. Azealia911 talk 14:06, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • Unlink rapper

Infobox[edit]

  • The cover art needs an alt
  • Link Radio airplay

Background and release[edit]

  • The alt for the Wale picture needs changing, describing someones fashion in non-fashion related articles is discouraged.
  • Do the liner notes specify that Wale wrote solely his rap verses and nothing more?
    • No, it doesn't. I'm assuming that he only wrote his verse, because Nicki Minaj only writes hers on featured articles.  — Calvin999 17:43, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wale is not Nicki Minaj. Azealia911 talk
I know. I removed it.  — Calvin999 18:14, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Artwork controversy[edit]

  • an abbreviation of the song's title is incorrect and unsourced.

Composition and lyrics[edit]

  • Is woo a part of a quote? It sounds unencyclopedic on its own.
  • Try and switch up the flow in the latter part, I'm seeing three concurrent uses of "*writer* of *publication* ..."

Response[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

  • The alt for the Donatella picture needs changing, same reason as the Wale picture.
    • I think it's fine. A lot of alt's note what the person is wearing.  — Calvin999 17:48, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Many wrongs don't make a right. Literally, Alt = Donatella Versace would suffice.
  • Unless you have a source for critical acclaim, remove it. Let the sources speak for themselves.
    • We don't use sources for "mixed reviews" or "positive reviews". But okay.  — Calvin999 17:48, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Allmusic → AllMusic
Goodness me what was I on when I wrote this, corrected my original note. Azealia911 talk
  • HitFix shouldn't be in italics
  • Again, try and switch up the flow in the latter paragraph, I'm seeing four concurrent uses of "*writer* of *publication* ..."

Chart performance[edit]

  • debuted at number 45 in the Wallonia region of Belgium → debuted at number 45 on the Belgium chart, in the region of Wallonia
  • It also debuted → The song also entered

Live performance[edit]

  • Remove only time, the source doesn't specify that it's the only time the song is being performed.

Credits and personnel[edit]

  • Move the sentence about the liner notes to the top of the section.

Charts[edit]

  • I'm a bit confused, the lead mentions that the song entered Ultratip, but the commercial performance and charts section doesn't mention anything about it? If it did only peak at 14 on Ultratip and not Ultratop, this needs mentioning, because you've just equivalently said a song peaked at 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 when it only peaked at 14 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles.
  • Make the columns sortable
    • Not needed. They are already alphabetical. And there's no need to sort a table with only three rows.  — Calvin999
  • GAON → Gaon
  • I see a star next to the sales figures, which indicates sales figures based on certification alone, but, there's no certification?
    • That's pre-loaded.  — Calvin999 17:56, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is there nothing you can do? Azealia911 talk
No, it's pre-loaded in the coding for the template.  — Calvin999 18:14, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either remove the N/A template, or customize it with something like {{N/A|None}}

Release history[edit]

  • Move the references to whichever they are sourcing, as in move one reference next to Urban contemporary radio and one next to Rhythmic contemporary radio
  • Def Jam Recordings → Def Jam, per the infobox.

References[edit]

  • A few italicizing issues here. I'm looking at this version of the article when I make these comments, just so you know which number matches which reference. I suggest you tackle this section first to avoid any further movement of references and thus confusion.
  • #1 — Link Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse
  • #2 — MTV News shouldn't be in italics
  • #3 — RapFix, MTV should just be MTV, and shouldn't be in italics
  • #5 — Idolator shouldn't be in italics
  • #7 — Idolator shouldn't be in italics
  • #10 — Digital Spy should be linked, but not in italics
  • #11 — The Daily Mail isn't reliable
  • #12 — PopDust shouldn't be in italics
  • #14 — Idolator shouldn't be in italics
  • #16 — HitFix shouldn't be in italics
  • #17 — Pitchfork Media shouldn't be in italics
  • #18 — Link iTunes Store
  • #25 — Digital Spy shouldn't be in italics
  • #26 — Idolator shouldn't be in italics
  • #27 — Ultratop shouldn't be in italics
  • #28 — Ultratop shouldn't be in italics
  • #29 — Ultratop shouldn't be in italics
  • #34 — Korea Music Content Industry Association shouldn't be in italics


Last couple of things:

  • Allmusic → AllMusic
  • The alts still need changing on the Wale/Donatella pictures. Just their names would be completely fine.
    • I've already changed Wale's and Donatella's doesn't need changing. Alt's are there to describe the picture, not say who the person is.  — Calvin999
A direct quote from WP:ALT, below a picture of Elizabeth II "Unless it appears in an article on fashion, the alt text should not be "an elderly woman wearing a black hat"." Azealia911 talk 18:54, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I haven't just included her dress though, I've described her hair too. I've described the image as a whole.  — Calvin999 18:55, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It seems you're unwilling to shift on this area. Not going to fail an article per incorrect alts. Passing. Azealia911 talk 19:02, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I mispelled a word in an earlier comment. I put "Is woo a part of a quote? It sounds encyclopedic on its own." I meant to say unencyclopedic on its own. If you say it's not a quote, remove/replace it.
    • Woo in this context is fine, as that is the common expression and what he is doing.  — Calvin999 18:49, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Once those three are addressed, I'll pass. Azealia911 talk 18:45, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
