What's wrong with "lament"? What should it be? ("Exult" is wrong grammatically, and obscure in terms of the meaning here.) --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:28, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the song certainly doesn't sound like a lament. Everyking 08:52, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough (though lamenting lyrical content needn't be matched by the music, expecially in pop); what is she doing though? "Exulting someone" doesn't make sense grammatically, I can't work out what exactly the editor in question meant by it. I've left a message on his or her Tlak page, asking for an explanation here so that we can make the appropriate change, but if anyone else has any ideas that would be good. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:37, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

General
Info box
  • Certifications in info boxes are a bit redundant now.
    • Removed.
  • R&B is only an influence, as you say in the composition, so it should be removed from here.
    • Removed.
Lead
  • thus critics began referring her as the titular Miss Independent. → This doesn't make sense.
    • Removed.
  • You need to write "chart" after Pop and Hot 100, otherwise its unclear what they are.
    • Added the word chart.
  • You don't need to linked countries such as Australia etc., it's WP:OVERLINK
    • Removed links.
  • It eventually sold certified Gold → Doesn't make sense grammatically.
    • Changed → "I was eventually certified Gold."
  • The video received three nominations at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. → Don't really need to know this yet. A live performance would be better.
    • Removed.
Background and release
  • was left → and was left
    • Changed → "Aguilera ultimately decided not to include it for the album, leaving it half-finished without the bridge".
  • decided Clarkson contribute to the song → suggested that Clarkson contribute lyrics to the song, and record it...
    • Changed → "suggested that Clarkson contribute lyrics to the song, and record it."
  • only ten days → No need for "only"
    • Removed.
  • It was also her first single to be released internationally, as her debut single "Before Your Love"/"A Moment Like This" (2002), was only released in North America. → Not needed, remove.
    • Removed.
  • The song was also released a downloadable content for the Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and Lego Rock Band games. → I don't understand what you mean
  • "Miss Independent" was selected for inclusion for Clarkson's first greatest hits album, Greatest Hits: Chapter One, along with a live version titled "Miss Independent (Live 2012)".[5] → This hasn't really got anything to do with the Background in 2003. I'd remove this, it's not that important.
    • Removed.
Composition
  • Move the audio file to the right, and put a picture of Aguilera in the Background and release section on the left.
    • Added Aguilera's picture in the left and moved audio to the right.
  • "Miss Independent" is a pop rock song with R&B influences. → Source for pop rock?
    • Added source. Changed → ""Miss Independent" is a R&B-styled[8] pop rock song.[9][2]"
  • 3:35 (e minutes and 35 seconds) →Just write three minutes and 35 seconds
    • Done.
Reception
  • No need for sub sections here. Both of them are notable enough to be stand alone sections.
    • Done.
  • the "Miss Independent" → "the" ???
    • Removed "the"
  • Split the critical response into two paragraphs. Not three, where one is just one line long.
    • Done.
Music video
  • The video has been included in Clarkson's first video album Miss Independent (2003), and on her Greatest Hits: Chapter One. → Source? Probably best to remove.
    • Removed.
