    Pass/Fail:

Comments: There are numerous copy edit and MoS compliance issues with this article.

  • The lead must not mention anything that is not already contained in the sections - see WP:LEAD - for example, "Canadian".
  • It later released via digital download in the United States and Canada on July 7, 2009, and was released in several other countries during fall 2009. - "It was released..."
  • The accompanying music video features Bieber at a party, and features Usher and Bieber's friend, Ryan Butler. - This sentence should be recast to eliminate the double "features".
  • The second and third paragraphs in the section on composition should be rewritten to be in the past tense.
  • There is overlinking. Wikilinks should only appear on the first mention, and just once.
  • Bill Lamb of About.com stated that called the song a... - Grammar problems here.
  • The song quietly entered at number ninety-five... - MoS compliance. Numbers greater than nine are written numerically. This needs to be fixed throughout, including "top twenty", "top ten", "one hundred millon", etc.
  • The song first debuted on the Billboard...
  • It has since peaked at number fourteen. It peaked... - Rewrite to avoid duplication of "peaked".
  • It debuted in Belgium (Flanders) at twenty-six and peaked at twelve on the bubbling under chart, equaling the song to peak at sixty-two. - What does "equaling the song" mean?
  • It debuted in Belgium (Wallonia) tip chart... - debuted [on the]?
  • The charting of the song in Europe which propelled it to chart at twenty nine on the European Hot 100 chart. - Doesn't really make sense, plus rewrite to avoid triple use of "chart".
  • The music video, directed by Vashtie Kola.[29], was posted - Punctuation errors. Remove the period and shift the comma immediately after Kola.
  • Internationally, he appeared on the European program The Dome... - The Dome needs to be in italics.
  • The section on live performances should employ the use of semi-colons to separate the performances.
  • On November 23, 2009, on the London date of the tour,...
  • Originally an acoustic version... - Comma after originally.
I will allow up to seven days for all these issues to be resolved. You can contact me if you have any questions or problems.

On hold review

[edit]
  • "It debuted in Belgium (Flanders) at twenty-six and peaked at twelve on the bubbling under chart, equaling the song to peak at sixty-two." - I am still not clear what "equaling the song" means? Does it mean that this is equivalent to the song peaking at sixty-two?
  • There are several instances where reference are placed before a period. They should be outside. And there is at least one instance where it is placed after a period, but is then followed by another period. ...making the song debut at forty-five on the Irish Singles Chart.[23]. - These need to be fixed.

Otherwise, I am happy with all the improvements made so far. I will allow more time for these final issues to be fixed, before a final review. -- S Masters (talk) 04:38, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

s on t

  • Unfortunately, the referencing issues have not been fixed. Following are just two that I found. There may be others. Please check each and every reference number to ensure that they have been fixed.
  1. "...the song made a thirty spot jump from forty-seven to number seventeen, reaching a new peak on the chart[15]."
  2. "The song has also achieved international success. It debuted in Belgium (Flanders) at twenty-six and peaked at twelve on the bubbling under chart, equivalent to peaking at sixty-two on the main chart. [19]."
  • "...equivalent to peaking at sixty-two on the main chart." - I could not find 62 in the reference. How did you come to this conclusion from the reference provided?
Once again, thanks for all your hard work in making this a better article. -- S Masters (talk) 04:28, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Im confused at the problem for #1. The source says "Also making big moves on the list due to digital sales is Justin Bieber who sees two songs make identical 30-position jumps: "One Time" (47-17) and "One Less Lonely Girl" (60-30). The former track establishes a new peak position with its climb, surpassing a No. 20 rank achieved in November." For #2 "Tip" indicated it was on the Ultratip, like the U.S. Bubbling charts, and concluded by adding the remaining numbers for the equivalent chart position.

Think everything's fixed now! Candyo32 (talk) 03:01, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The problems with #1 and #2 have nothing to do with the references themselves. The problem is how the references are presented, i.e. [15]." which should be ."[15] and chart. [19]." which should be ."[19] - I could have done these for you but I want you to see where the problems are so that you can understand. -- S Masters (talk) 02:48, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments: After all the work done, I am now satisfied that it meets all the requirements for a Good Article, and I am happy to pass it as such. Good work! -- S Masters (talk) 04:46, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
