Background and composition edit

  • At the end of the first paragraph you have two sources use the information of both critics.
  • The song was officially released to the media and radio stations → sources provided doesn't provide radio stations release
  • The song was released in Greece as a digital download on 12 February 2008 and as a CD single on 28 March 2008 → not on given source
I couldn't find the old itunes links for Greece's initial release, so I've just changed it to the generic link they are using now. When itunes switched their link structure over, they overwrote older releases with the "worldwide".Grk1011 (talk) 15:40, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Did you look on wayback machine, archive.is, webcitation and others? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:03, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Track listing edit

  • Use {{spaced ndash}} so there is the right space between the version of the song and their runtime

  Done

Credits and personnel edit

I've changed the dashes, but the formatting of this section was requested in another GA review, so I believe these comments to just be a preference and not requirement.

It's guidelines, it hasn't to do with anyones preference Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Album_article_style_advice#Personnel. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 00:29, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Format changed to align with your style advice link, though I am leaving the locations subheader as it helps with readability. Grk1011 (talk) 15:40, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Remove the subheader locations, put the mixing and recording in the same sentece "Recorded and mixed at Prisma Studio (Athens, Greece); mixed at C&C Studio (Athens, Greece)"
  • The personnel should be the other way around "first the person then the credit"
  • Enginners, mixing? No names
  • Use {{spaced ndash}} so there is the right space between the credits and the personnel

  Done

  • Radio single is to broad and the source says 0 regarding radio release
  • The label and formats are switched
  • Once more issues with the physical CD single.

  Done

Charts and certifications edit

  Done

  • This section should be above the "release history" one

  • Use the Template:Single chart for the chart entries

  • The publishers for the charts will be automatic
  • ESCToday → can't be publisher and work at the same time → is publisher
  • Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) → publisher

@Grk1011: I left you a new comment and a couple of   Not donemost have to do with the release of the song. iTunes is not a physical format of CD single you need to give a look at that and other stuff. Also address the comments on "Credits and personnel" I left you the guidelines, it will be easier for you to see and the reason for the given date.
