Good Article review progress box Criteria: 1a. prose () 1b. MoS () 2a. ref layout () 2b. cites WP:RS () 2c. no WP:OR () 2d. no WP:CV () 3a. broadness () 3b. focus () 4. neutral () 5. stable () 6a. free or tagged images () 6b. pics relevant () Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

Lead and infobox

• "over its instrumentation of guitars and snare drums"
• Briefly introduce some context about Simon Konecki, i.e. his occupation, how long he dated Adele
• A lyric video/audio video could be helpful.
• "her high volume" I'd change to something like "though some thought it was too loud"

Background

• A little too much information on "Hello"; I'd only keep the fact that Kurstin wrote and produced "Hello", which was the lead single.
• Ditto about Simon Konecki.

• I'm inclined to keep some of the information about Hello's success as it may have had a bearing on Adele's decision to work with Kurstin on more songs for the album. And the Konecki-related quotes I have included are all relevant to this song and are things she discussed in relation to it.

• Tophit is unreliable, as listed at WP:SINGLE?

Composition

• "Kurstin produced it; and engineered it" should be a comma instead of a semicolon
• What does "lone guitars" mean?

Critical reception

• "its understated style allowed Adele's vocals to dominate" "dominate" sounds weird, I'd go for "shine"
• I'm not sure if Andy Gill's comment that this song is "understated" is correct, given that quite a few reviews focused on how loud, rather chaotic, "wall of sound"-ish it sounds.

• Not sure it is right to exclude a reliable critic's opinion because others disagreed. I have kept it and noted that it is something that "Andy Gill of The Independent believed".

Commercial performance

• Looks good!

Promotion

• Do we need three sources for the Jimmy Fallon live?
• Ditto for the British Summer Time live.

Credits, charts, certifications

• Looks good!

Radio and release history

• Consider center-aligning the refs.

Overall

• Putting this  On hold for seven days. Ippantekina (talk) 09:52, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you so much for the review, Ippantekina. Everything should be addressed now.--NØ 11:14, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
