Infobox

• The "length" section needs a {{duration}} template

• Although not a requirement,  Done Statυs (talk) 20:44, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Lead

• Link interpolation
• Billy Joe's song is a single, change accordingly
• Too many instances with "the song", change it up

•  Done Statυs (talk) 20:44, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Background

• ""Can't Stop Won't Stop contains portion from the song "Uptown Girl" which was written and sang by Billy Joel (pictured)." ---> ""Can't Stop Won't Stop contains a portion from the single "Uptown Girl" which was composed and recording by Billy Joel (pictured)."
• "In 2009 interview with People Magazine," ---> "In a 2009 interview with People magazine,". Also when was the interview?
• "Usher, whose private life has been highly documented after filing a divorce from wife Tameka Foster, " ---> irrelevant to the song.
• "In March, 2010," ---> remove first coma
• "Upon its release, Raymond v. Raymond received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards its songwriting and themes" ----> another irrelevant sentence.
• Remove the entire paragraph that follows, irrelevant.
• "Adams has previously written and produced Usher's 2010 single "OMG"" ---> needs past-tense tone
• No need for Billy Joel's album
• Link mixed

•  Done things that needed to be fixed. Statυs (talk) 20:44, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Composition

• ""Can't Stop Won't Stop" is eurodance and dance-pop song that incorporates dubstep elements with a length of three minutes and 51 seconds" ---> "is a eurodance"

•  Done

• There needs to be a period before FN#16

•  Done

• No need for Usher's album Confessions and Nothing but the Beat

•  Not done Why? Statυs (talk) 20:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

  Please point to a GA or FA article that has this? Best, Jonayo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 15:03, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

• Synth is linked but what about hook?

•  Done Statυs (talk) 20:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

• I noticed that some of the descriptions directly derived from the reviews. Unless they are in quotations, it needs to be restated in your own words. Otherwise, it's plagiarism.

• See Hahc's comment below. Statυs (talk) 20:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Reviews

• "Erika Ramirez of Billboard" ---> Billboard

•  Done Statυs (talk) 20:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

• "Billy Joel's songs" ---> according to source it was only one of his songs so why does the sentence gives the feeling that it was more than one?

•  Done Statυs (talk) 20:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

• Again many of the reviews are not in your own words.

• Just to step in this. What "are not in your own words"? Mean. The reviews can be as either quoted or paraphrased. I red the section and this is not an issue at all. Please elaborate. Thanks. —Hahc21 20:40, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Charts

• "debuted at the singles chart in South Korea." ---> "debuted on the singles chart in South Korea"

"The next week, the song sold additional 3,593 copies and felt to number 78" ----> remove "additional" and change "felt" to "fell".

The 2009 line

Okay, I have given User:Till a notice for war editing and a 3RR, but, I also reverted (twice though). However, instead of arguing more I decided to use the talk page of the article. The information In an 2009 interview with People Magazine, Usher, whose private life has been highly documented after filing for divorce from wife Tameka Foster, told that his sixth studio album will be, "racy, risky and edgy, and sometimes about personal experiences." is releveant, because the album is all about his divorce and how he is looking for himself. The song is part of the album and implicitly is related to the experience (the divorce), so it's pretty much fine to stay cause it explains the other background. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 22:26, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I reverted twice and you reverted twice, so why did you give me a notice? That's a bit hypocritical. Regarding the content itself, it isn't relevant because it were about his sixth album which is not relevant to the seventh and thus not relevant to "Can't Stop Won't Stop". Till 22:45, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

That's why I removed the notice. Btw, have you ever read the Looking 4 Myself article? Also Raymond v. Raymond one? Those albums are like part 1 and part 2. And yes that information is relevant, because both albums are about his divorce and disorientation. I don't want to repeat myself, but this is enough reason so the sentence can be included in the article (the information about the success of Raymong v. Raymond can be removed though). — Tomíca^(T2ME) 22:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
