Comments

@CatchMe:

EARWIG shows 27.5% - violations unlikely.
According to link-dispenser,
- 3 refs need an archive link.
Is AllMusic ref 18 reliable?

Per WP:ALLMUSIC it is reliable for entertainment reviews. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Specify language variant.

I don't know what you mean here. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 12:05, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't there a cover art for the single.

Nope, only that picture that she posted to social media. Streaming services use the album cover. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add alt text for live performances image.
Could add an image of Dolores O'Riordan.
Lead should be split to three paragraphs,
1. Basic information about the song - All good.
2. Summary of critical reception and commercial performance.
3. Details about Music video and live performances.

Partly done; changed the order as you suggested, but didn't split since the last paragraphs would be so short imo. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Background" should be a separate section. "Release and marketing" should be a separate section placed after the "Composition" section.

Not done since the sections should be so short imo. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"a new era in June 2024" - ?

Changed to "a new album". CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No need for the entire Personnel to be in the "Composition" section, just the length, writers and producers is enough.

This is the standard in high-quality song articles; see "How You Get the Girl", for example. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Critical response" and "Commercial performance" should be two separate sections placed before the "Music video" section.

The same as above, I think having three short sections would be off. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hasn't the song been nominated for any awards yet.

No. CatchMe (talk · contribs) 21:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
