Feeling a bit confident after my first review yesterday, I shall take on this review now for the numerous articles you have reviewed for me. --Ashleyyoursmile! 04:44, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks great
• Kanye West, from his ninth studio album Jesus Is King (2019) → Kanye West from his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King (2019)
• which features military drums → which instrumentally relies on military drums

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• though some critics expressed negative feelings of the song's lyrical content → though some critics expressed negative feelings towards the song's lyrical content

•  Not done since that is too repetitive due to "towards" being used earlier in this sentence. --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Background and development

• Link "freestyling" to "Freestyle rap"

•  Done --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• "Clemons contributed vocals to fellow Jesus Is King tracks "Everything We Need" and "Water" Is this sentence relevant to the song? You could consider mentioning that he created the song and provided backing vocals for it

•  Not done as it is of relevance due to given background on Clemons and West's work together. --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• had been dismissive of ideas by West initially, → had been initially dismissive of ideas by West,

•  Done --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• "Throughout 2019, the Sunday Service Choir's concerts were popular with numerous celebrities, including American actor Brad Pitt." Is this sentence really relevant to the song?

•  Not done since it is giving background on the Sunday Service Choir, which is relevant due to their involvement with the song. --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• "Alongside the Sunday Service Choir and Clemons, the former of the three includes vocals from record producer Bongo ByTheWay." Again, is this relevant?

•  Not done it is relevant because "the former of the three" is "Selah" here and it is worth mentioning all of the vocalists in the body, especially since they are written out in the lead. --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Composition and lyrics

• A 13 second sample of the song → A 13−second sample of the song
• Link "chants" to chants
• Military drums are included in the song, which have been noted for conveying attitude → Instrumentation for the song consists primarily of Military drums, which have been noted for conveying attitude
• The chord progression of it received comparisons to that of the track → The chord progression of it was compared to that of the track

•  Done for all --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Release and promotion

• Great

Critical reception

• "Jordan Bassett from NME commented that the song features "dour organ" and "intermittent percussion."" Would you like to move this sentence to "Composition and lyrics" instead?

• I think I can keep this here since it is expressing opinions of these things, though should I write about percussion in the comp section and use this as a ref? --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• That should look nice. --Ashleyyoursmile! 08:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• @Ashleyyoursmile:  Done, how does this look? --K. Peake 10:30, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• Looking nice. --Ashleyyoursmile! 10:44, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• Rolling Stone complemented the composition of it → Rolling Stone complemented the song's composition

•  Done --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Commercial performance

• Following Jesus Is King being released, "Selah" → Following the release of Jesus Is King, "Selah"
• The track was present on the Hot 100 → The track remained on the Hot 100

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• "On the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, the track reached number 10 that same week." Which week are you talking you? Can you mention the week in one of the sentences above?

• I just removed the bit about a week, though kept the chart position. --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• In Slovakia, the track experience lesser → In Slovakia, the track experienced lesser

•  Done --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Appearances in media

• Great

Sunday Service Choir version

• It has regularly been performed live → It has been regularly performed live

•  Done --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Credits and personnel

• Great

Credits and personnel

• Great

Charts

Weekly charts

• Change the caption from "Chart performance for "Selah"" to "Weekly chart performance for "Selah""
• Do the same for "Chart performance for "Revelations 19:1""

• Are you sure these are needed though, since the caption implies it is the main chart performance especially with the third table's existence? --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• You can leave it as it is then. --Ashleyyoursmile! 08:14, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Year-end charts

• Great

Notes

• Great

References

• Copyvio score is 19.4%, which is super!
• MOS:CAPS with ref 4, 6, 7, 8, 25, 28, 32

• I do not see any fully capitalised words, so why is this suggested? --K. Peake 08:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• I suggested since the caps for these refs aren't in sentence case. Am I wrong to understand what this means? --Ashleyyoursmile! 08:13, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• I believe the context you are thinking of here only applies to actual words in prose, not in ref titles. --K. Peake 10:30, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

External links

• Great
