Hi, I'll leave comments soon! Sebbirrrr (talk) 16:39, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • Short description is already generated by the infobox so the template isn't needed
  • The templates in the infobox could be removed
  • Shouldn't it be Speak Now (Deluxe)?
  • "not as outstanding" → outstanding should be replaced per MOS:PUFFERY
  •  Done
  •  Done
  • "with intricate lyrical details" → from the way it's written it sounds like the critics complimented the song with "intricate lyrical details"

Background and composition

[edit]
  •  Done
  • The information was added back in 2011, so I AGD'd on that one... Apparently it can be verified on Discogs, but it is unreliable.
  • Didn't Carlson also produce the song?
  •  Done

Critical reception

[edit]
  • The All Access review isn't given by the source
  • "he wrote" → "she wrote"
  •  Done
  • "as mawkish" → "as "mawkish" "
  •  Done

Commercial performance

[edit]
  • See above
  • "After its digital release in November 2011 "Ours" debuted at number 13" → I believe it's WP:OR as it's not mentioned by the source
  • The source says, "Taylor Swift debuts ... at Nos. 13 and 26 on the Hot 100 with "Ours" (148,000; her next country radio single) and "Superman" (91,000), respectively. [...] The tracks made their digital retail debuts Nov. 8, after previously being available only on the deluxe CD version of Swift's "Speak Now" album at Target stores."
  •  Done
  • Include Australia in the previous sentence as the first country
  •  Done

Accolades

[edit]
  • Fine.

Live performances and music video

[edit]
  • "dressed in tennis shoes and messy hair" → "donning tennis shoes and messy hair" as that would imply she is only dressed in those two
  •  Done
  • "The video spent seven weeks at number one on CMT" → I'm not sure if this is worth including, doesn't it fall under WP:SINGLEVENDOR?
  • I think it can be included, because "some network charts may fulfill other NMUSIC criteria instead"; and given CMT's prominence in country music, seven weeks at No. 1 is pretty notable to me.

Credits and personnel

[edit]
  • Not sure what "national" is supposed to refer to.
  •  Done

Charts

[edit]
  • Should be formatted accordingly so that the year-end charts appear on the right.

Certifications

[edit]
  • Ref 27 should be added here and the no. of sales should be changed to 1,500,000

Release history

[edit]
  • Format → Format(s)

References

[edit]
  • Copyvio at 30.6% is alright
  • Source check: 10, 11, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 31, 42, 43, 44
  • I'll AGF on the ProQuest sources
  • Ref 23 doesn't work for me
  • I'm unsure about the reliability of Country Universe and Roughstock
  • Removed Roughstock (the information is not verified by the source). Writers for Country Universe are professionals and journalists who also write for Slant Magazine, so it should be reliable at least for a GA.
  • The ref for Australia's peak position doesn't work
