Bitch Better Have My Money

[edit]

Created by Tomica (talk). Nominated by Calvin999 (talk) at 20:48, 28 March 2015 (UTC).

  • Well this one's been sitting for some time. New (26th), long enough, neutral, no copyvio found via spot check, QPQ done. Hook checks out in its immediate ref. Other thoughts: "according to Deputy, that's the time when he knew what the name of the song is gonna be" should be written in encyclopedic style. Her first single from the album is overlinked. And quotations are used to excess—many can/should be paraphrased. czar  13:59, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
  • I copy-edited/removed some of the quotations and fixed the overlinking. There are enough quotes in my opinion now tbh. — Tom(T2ME) 12:13, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
As long as it's under discussion, the quotes used towards the end of the article are almost all candidates for paraphrase. If it can be paraphrased without losing the meaning of a sentence, WP requires reduction of non-free content. – czar 15:31, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
Tomica, will you be addressing Czar's point? BlueMoonset (talk) 00:27, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Can I suggest an alternate hook? Half-sing, half-rap isn't that interesting to me and tells me all I need to know. You should do, "....that Rihanna pranked Jimmy Kimmel on April's Fool's Day by jumping on his bed in the middle of the night to perform 'Bitch Better Have My Money?'" (oops I'm surprised this isn't in the article.... was lulzy[1]) МандичкаYO 😜 01:11, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
I've added this and I'm good with the hook.  — Calvin999 16:16, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
  • main hook is still gtg (proposed alt is not in the article), though I do still think there is overquoting throughout the article—most of it can be paraphrased – czar 17:06, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
    • Thanks. I did add the Kimmy Kimmel bit into the article though.  — Calvin999 17:08, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
