Hi, @AskeeaeWiki. I will be reviewing this article perhaps starting now (because today I'm going to my church's connection group, so my schedule is a little tight) to give you 2 GAs. Now I'm a little more confident in reviewing what happened in I Feel It Coming. Thank you for being so kind to me in the process. I assume you're sleeping for now, so I'll take the opportunity to put in as many observations as possible to speed up the process. Santi (talk) 17:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Infobox

• Since I realize that Trilogy is a compilation album, there is no need to mention it.

Background and production

• "As McKinney played the Weeknd instrumentals for consideration" => "As McKinney played songs to the Weeknd for consideration"

   Done

• Replace in ref 4 "cbc.ca" to "CBC". Wikilink.
• Link Billboard on ref 5.

   Done

• Add info about the song's inclusion on both album.

   Done

• "On November 13, 2012, it was reissued as a part of his compilation album, Trilogy." => "Afterwards, it was included on the Weeknd's compilation album, Trilogy, on November 13, 2012."

   Done

• Link compilation album.

   Done

Music and lyrics

• Reference 6 does not explicitly mention about a party. That's more what Billboard did.

   Done

• Move the ref 5 from "at the end" to "to sex."

   Done

• Move ref 1 from infobox to this section and complement the prose with it, which says that the song is alternative R&B. That source also needs authorship.

   Done

• Link Impact.

   Done

• Authorship for ref 8 (Daria Paterek)

   Done

Critical reception

• "Pitchfork later placed it on its list of top 100 songs of 2011 at #57, with Eric Grandy saying it was "Tesfaye at his best, emoting in a androgynous falsetto one minute, muttering unbelievable curses the next." " => "They later ranked it at number 57 on their list of Top 100 Songs, with Eric Grandy saying it was "Tesfaye at his best, emoting in a androgynous falsetto one minute, muttering unbelievable curses the next." " Since the name of the author of the first Pitchfork article is not mentioned in this article, this practice is acceptable.

   Done

• Change template to "cite magazine" in ref 7 and move "Rolling Stone" from "author1" to "magazine".

   Done

• "Rolling Stone declared "House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls" as the Weeknd's 9th best track, " => "ranked"

   Done

• "Rolling Stone placed the first part of the song at #488 on its 2021 and 2024 edition of the 500 best songs of all time." => "They also ranked its first part 488th on their 2021 revision of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time." Move to the next paragraph.

   Done

• Problems with ref 12.

   Done

• "Complex further wrote" => "They further wrote"

   Done

• Reuse ref 13 after "melancholic R&B." and add authorship.

   Done

Live performances

• "The Weeknd performed the song for his first ever show in the United States." Is it another show or the Coachella one?

  It is the Coachella one, I cleared that up.

• Link "Billboard" in ref 15.

   Done

• Fix ref 21.

   Done

Personnel

• Modify the structure of the reference a little. "{{cite web|url=https://music.apple.com/us/song/house-of-balloons-glass-table-girls-original/1558942156|title=House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls (Original)|website=[[Apple Music]]|access-date=April 5, 2024}}" => "{{cite web |publisher=[[Apple Music]] |title=House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls (Original){{spaced ndash}}Song by The Weeknd |url=https://music.apple.com/us/song/house-of-balloons-glass-table-girls-original/1558942156 |access-date=April 7, 2024 |url-status=live}}" Can it be archived?

   Partly done: When I attempted to archive it, the website did not load.

Certifications

• Passed.
• Delete "Notes" section.

Comments

• Believe me. There are times when my English listening becomes terrible. I say this because I listened to the Tom Power podcast episode referenced from the article, and I didn't hear the words "freestyle" and "demo", at least not explicitly. So, since you're a very honest editor, then I'll assume that part is fine. Santi (talk) 20:01, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

  I will replace this, the Glass Table Girls demo is not mentioned and 25 minute-"House of Balloons" is not noted as a freestyle. 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 20:20, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

• OK. I'll make slight edits to the prose and approve the article at once. Santi (talk) 21:43, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
• @AskeeaeWiki: Before passing the article, I would like to know your opinion on the new summary of the article. We're practically done! Santi (talk) 23:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Pollosito All looks good! I see you're reviewing the article for "You're Losing Me", so good luck! I usually listen to the song while reviewing or expanding an article, it helped me a lot for both I Feel It Coming and Classy 101! You're a great reviewer, and I'm glad you're starting to become more confident! 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 23:11, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
