Good Article review progress box

Will start on this sometime today --Kyle Peake (talk) 05:29, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Infobox and lead
[edit]- Recording date is unsourced
- Done. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Link to the music videos in the infobox
- Done. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer" → "is a song by Puerto Rican singer"
- With all due respect, this is a preference. There's nothing wrong with the prose right now, actually is preferred by editors since it's been used in all articles I brought to a FA status. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "for his sixth studio album Sound Loaded (2000)" → "from his sixth studio album, Sound Loaded (2000)"
- Same as above here. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Either way, you need the comma for separation --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:39, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "It was written by and produced" → "The song was written and produced by"
- Song is repeated again from the previous sentence. "It" is fine.
- Well the album was mentioned after the song in the previous sentence, so specification is needed --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:39, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "and Robi Draco Rosa with additional writing" → "and Robi Draco Rosa, with additional writing"
- Done. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Wikilink lead single to itself
- Mention that the release was to radio and what label it was through
- "on September 23, 2000" → "on September 22, 2000"
- ""She Bangs" is a dance song with" → "The song is a dance track, with"
- With all due respect, the proposed prose reads poorly. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- The title should not be mentioned more than once in a para of the lead --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:39, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "influences in which the singer who wants hold" → "influences, while the lyrics see Martin wanting to hold"
- Done.
- "It was met with positive reviews by music critics noted" → "It received widely positive reviews from music critics, who often noted" with the appropriate target
- Again, the proposed prose would overcomplicate things. We want to keep it simple. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- But grammatically, "met with positive reviews by music critics noted the similarities" clearly has issues and the target is obviously required, plus "received" should be here and "met with" in the body --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:39, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "previous single "Livin' la Vida Loca" and received a Grammy" → "previous single "Livin' la Vida Loca", and received a" with the target
- not linking single, per WP:OVERLINK, the term is widely known. Comma added. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "in 2001" → "at the 2001 Grammy Awards" with the target
- "Commercially, it peaked at number one" → "Commercially, the song peaked at number one"
- "Switzerland and reached the top five in several countries in Europe" → "Switzerland, and reached the top five in several other European countries"
- No need per comma there, my Grammarly editor. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "A Spanish-language version of the song was also recorded" → "A Spanish-language version of "She Bangs" was recorded" with the target
- "and reached on top of the" → "and reached the summit of the"
- Target Billboard to Billboard (magazine)
- Wikilink Hot Latin Songs on itself solely instead
- Done. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "The music video for "She Bangs"" → "The music video for the original version"
- No need for this. The videos are literally the same for both versions.
- "The video's suggested sexual content" → "The suggested sexual content of the video"
- "and was banned in several Latin American countries" → "and led to it being banned in several Latin American countries"
- Done. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "Despite the backlash, it won the" → "Despite the backlash, the visual won the"
- Done. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "Lo Nuestro Award for Video of the Year in 2001" → "Lo Nuestro Award for Video of the Year, both in 2001"
- Done. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

- Done. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- "His rendition was met with unfavorable reactions" → "His cover version received generally unfavorable responses"
Composition and lyrical interpretation
[edit]- Shouldn't a Background section be above this one, or add background info to the article and combine with this section if there's not enough for its own?
- Wikilink Latin music to itself instead
- "and lasts for four minutes and forty-two seconds" → "and lasts for 4:42"
- "digital sheet music for the single" → "digital sheet music for the song" with the appropriate wikilink
- "and has a groove of" → "with a groove of"
- "from the low note of D4 to" → "from the low note of D4, to"
- Remove target on instrumentation
- "features powerful percussion" → "features "powerful" percussion"
- Target tropical to Tropical music
- "wrote that the single starts" → "wrote that the song begins"
- "They are followed by" → "The beats are followed by an"
- Wikilink horn section to itself
- "similar to the one on" → "which Willman called reminiscent of the one on"
- "and even harder to hold."" → "and even harder to hold"."
- "Billboard's reviewer stated" → "Billboard wrote" since this is fine in a non reception section
- "and that make cynics bark" → "and will make cynics bark"
Critical reception
[edit]- Why is the img hidden?
- Retitle to Release and reception, so move the radio sentence to here instead
- "The song received generally positive reviews" → The song was met with widely positive reviews" since there are no negative ones
- "A reviewer of Billboard magazine" → "The staff of Billboard"

- "Geoff Boucher of" → "Geoff Boucher of the"
- "and its accompanying music video" → "and accompanying music video" with the wikilink
- "referencing Martin's 1999 single" → "in reference to Martin's 1999 single"
- "Jose F. Promis of" → "Jose F. Promis from"
- "and stated that is arguably" → "and stated that it is arguably"
- "earned Martin a nomination for" → "was nominated for"
- ""She Bangs" was recognized" → "The track was recognized"
- Wikilink International Dance Music Awards to itself instead
- Remove target on 12"; similarly to how there is no target on pop in this section, there shouldn't be one on this term either
- Done all, except the third query. Kept it simple. No need for 'widely'. — Tom(T2ME) 12:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Commercial performance
[edit]- Mention where it was released to radio stations; remember, this sentence will still be moved to the previous section
- Target Australian Singles Chart to ARIA Charts
- "It spend six weeks in the top-ten" → "It spent 6 weeks in the top 10" per MOS:NUM
- Exactly per that policy no. We keep 1-9 in prose and everything above with a number. — Tom(T2ME) 12:08, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- Tomica "Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: patients' ages were five, seven, and thirty-two or ages were 5, 7 and 32, but not ages were five, seven and 32." So in this case, yes. --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:26, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- That's a different situation, where you compare things. Here we don't compare things when talking about charting trajectory. I have done multiple FAs before and actually the preferred way is 1-9 words, above 9 numerical. Please read this. — Tom(T2ME) 08:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- I have read that and totally understand where you are coming from; I once felt that way, but ultimately realised otherwise and see Talk:Follow God/GA1 to understand what I am talking about since small numbers should not be spelt out in certain cases. --Kyle Peake (talk) 17:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- That's a different situation, where you compare things. Here we don't compare things when talking about charting trajectory. I have done multiple FAs before and actually the preferred way is 1-9 words, above 9 numerical. Please read this. — Tom(T2ME) 08:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

- "that he had zero talent" and was" → "that Ronny B had "zero talent", and he was"
William Hung version

- Norway Christmas Period (VG-lista) → Norway (VG-lista), since Christmas was when the chart was released for year-end actually from the looks of it

Final comments and verdict
[edit]On hold but won't be for too long since there are two of you to fix the issues! --Kyle Peake (talk) 08:07, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- My next day off work is Tuesday, so I'll get it on that day. Erick (talk) 02:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Magiciandude: Yeah I have no issue with that; depending on the time though, I may respond later on during the day since I'm going out. --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:55, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- Magiciandude and Tomica, you two got any updates on this? --Kyle Peake (talk) 12:16, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- Gonna need at least another week to finish this. I worked on the music video today. Erick (talk) 04:04, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Magiciandude I was about to fail this due to it being on hold for over three weeks and because neither of you had responded to my comments from four days ago, but now there has been a response from you and may I ask what took so long? --Kyle Peake (talk) 05:35, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

- Well, you know, life happened. It's not that we are on Wikipedia all the time. Plus, you literally asked us to change nearly every sentence, which frankly, sometimes, I do not agree with some of the prose you are suggesting. So, yes, we will need some more time. — Tom(T2ME) 16:50, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Magiciandude and Tomica, I understand that you may oppose some of the prose I suggested to change because constructive criticism is acceptable and there were many changes suggested by me. However, this article has been left on hold for over two weeks since you asked for "some more time," so I will sadly have to ✗ Fail it. --Kyle Peake (talk) 10:27, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake: Hi, I tried to fix all the mentioned issues, and added some content. I'll be thankful if you check the article once again and tell me to fix the remaining issues that I missed. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 14:59, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
