Do What U Want edit
... that "Do What U Want" is a mid-tempo synthpop and R&B song drawing influence from 1980s-inspired throbbing synths and an electronic beat?

Not passing. Try instead talking about lyrical content or someone involved with song creation. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 01:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Needs a full review. This article recently achieved GA status. DYK review instructions please begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed.
Details that are supposed to be checked in a review can be found at DYKReviewing guide — Maile (talk) 22:39, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- If further detail is needed, the genre of a song isn't what will grab readers' attention. Generally lyrical content or something about production process is regarded as more interesting, and is also easier to promote. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:13, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- Can we get someone here who actually knows how to do a DYK review? — Maile (talk) 22:45, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- It's not that I don't know how to do DYK reviews (after all, I reviewed and passed the DYK for Mariah Carey's "Thirsty"), you just haven't stated what else needs to be added. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 22:53, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- Not anything you've given so far, which amounts to your personal opinion. I gave you a link above. Read it. You had the same issue on Thirsty (song), and the review was flagged as incomplete. You ignored that and gave it a green tick. It was promoted on a fluke, but it should have NEVER been promoted. Sometimes things slip through, but not on this one. Read the above link and follow that for giving a review. Your opinion of the hook and article really doesn't count for much if you don't follow the review criteria. — Maile (talk) 23:16, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- This wasn't based on opinion of article. As for "Thirsty", I thought the notification about it being incomplete was how Calvin999 hadn't completed the QPQ. Sorry for misinterpreting that, though. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 23:27, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

- Full review still needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:45, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
- To go into more detail, article was nominated for DYK within five days of becoming GA, hook is reliably sourced but not attention-grabbing, QPQ has not yet been proved, article is over 1,500 characters in length (aside from infoboxes, lists, refs, tables, wikicode). Hook shouldn't be so much on the genre/musical aspects- a better choice would be to have it be about people involved (i.e. Gaga herself, R. Kelly, Christina Aguilera). XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 22:07, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
- XXSNUGGUMSXX, you have made 70 edits to the nominated article; most of them seem to have been making fixes during the GA review process. Under the circumstances, I think it best that you leave the reviewing to someone who is uninvolved in the article. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
- Very well. Only reason I did this in the first place is because I was pinged during the page's creation. Indeed, most edits were per the GAN. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 22:26, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
- New reviewer needed for full review. Note that while this is not a self-nomination and thus does not require a QPQ, a review would be welcome. I do agree that the hook is not very interesting. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:56, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, how about this hook: ALT1: ... that a live performance of "Do What U Want" on the The X Factor (UK) received 260 complaints due to its inappropriate nature? Does it make it interesting? —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:15, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Article was nominated for DYK on 23 May and passed GA on 22 May, so new enough. I don't check for length in GAs, for obvious reasons - name me one GA that contains less than 1,500 characters! I can't find any copyvios. QPQ unnecessary as it is not a self-nomination. As for the hook, I agree that the original hook is uninteresting and I have struck it; going with ALT1 which is short enough and sourced. AGF on #62, #69 and #72. Good to go.--Launchballer 08:08, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
