Revised, with a slightly different wording. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Although the release date usually doesn't come that late in most of the GAs I've seen, I see why you did it like that and it's okay

The singer's fans created a lyric video → A lyric video was created by the singer's fans (to avoid the repetition of "The" at the beginning of the sentence)

Recording and release[edit]

with assistance from Mark Ralston. Doron Dina was the → You may link the sentence with "while" to give it a better flow, but it's up to you

I do not think that "while" would make sense in this context. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was a promotional single from her sixth studio album Younger Now (2017). → please include this bit in the June 9, 2017 release sentence (...on June 9, 2017, as a promotional single...)

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Inspired" was the second song released from the album; the first being "Malibu" → Put this bit directly after the June 9, 2017 release sentence.

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

the second song released from the album; the first being "Malibu" → the second release from the album after "Malibu" (saying "song" here may be wrong, because it was released as a single)

It was the second song in general released from the album. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cyrus donated the profits → It may be better to say "the song's profits", so it is clear which profits are meant.

Composition and lyrics[edit]

04 beats per minute "with inspiration" → I don't exaclty know what you mean here with "with inspiration", and the source also does not further explain the term

I am not exactly sure what it means either, but I think it is important to include. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Instrumentation is provided by a piano, a fiddle, and chords → This is not all the instruments that were played for the song; please complete with the rest of the instruments played according to the album's credits

I have removed the sentence. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

fiddle-prone ballad".[19] Norris wrote that → Link these two sentences with "while" for a better flow.

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inspired by her experience being caught → Inspired by her experience of being caught

The suggestion is not grammatically correct. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Funeral procession → I know there is a Wikipedia article linked, but could you explain the term to me? I just don't get what is is...

A funeral procession refers to the cars that drive to the cemetery/church during a funeral (i.e. the hearse and the family/friends). Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

lyrics (“We are meant for more/ With a handle on the door/ That opens up for change”) were → no need for the paranthesis

I think that the parenthesis are needed in this context. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

celebrate Hilary Clinton winning → mention only her last name

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

with Cyrus' concerns for the environment → Isn't it about the environment?

"For" makes sense in this context. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please link Clinton in the image and shortly mention what her job is

Reception[edit]

and wrote that Halsey's duet with Lauren Jauregui for the 2017 single "Strangers" as the superior LGBT anthem → and classified Halsey's duet with Lauren Jauregui for the 2017 single "Strangers" as the superior LGBT anthem

Not a huge fan of one-line paragraphs, but it's up to you

Same, but I am not sure where to put it. It would not make sense to combine it with the other paragraphs. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To have a smoother transition between the critical and commercial reception of the song, I would advise you to reword to: "Commercially, 'Inspired' peaked..."

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Live performances[edit]

Cyrus promoted the track through live performances → I would say "several", as there really were several live performances

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Washington, D.C. pride festival. She was the headliner for the event → Washington, D.C. pride festival, where she was the headliner for the event

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

she did "Inspired" and "Malibu" → I would advise you to repeat yourself with "performed" rather than using "did". It somehow sounds unencyclopedic in this context

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

iHeartMedia.[18][38] She dedicated the performance → iHeartMedia,[18][38] and dedicated the performance (to avoid clipped sentences)

Outcome[edit]

On hold — Great work with this article! Once my comments are adressed, I think it's good to go. Best regards; Cartoon network freak (talk) 18:02, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review! I greatly appreciate your help. Please let me know if you need help with anything. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: As I agree with your responses to my comments, I am now passing this wonderful article to GA. Btw, I love how you write articles on many topics on Wikipedia (films, characters, music...). Good job! I have also nominated this article for GAN, but since it is a bit longer, you may prefer this shorter one... only if you've got time.
