Single order
editAccording to Rolling Stone and The Mercury News, "God Control" is the third single of Madame X. Unless there are reliable sources describing otherwise, this article should also say that "God Control" is the third single. In Madame X (album), "Medellín" and "Crave" are listed as the first and second singles and Madame X (album) § Singles doesn't mention any other preceding singles. — Newslinger talk 22:10, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- Actually, "God Control" was never confirmed as a single by Madonna, her team, or her label. It's written just as a "song" with a music video. Both "Medellín" and "Crave" were officially sent to radio. Bluesatellite (talk) 05:53, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Background and synopsis

Reception
edit- There is no need for the quote box to disrupte another section, it could be above or make it a litlle bit bigger
- I left it here as it looked (on my computer) aesthetically pleasing, it didn't 'cut' or overlapped text or the other section. Let me know if I should change it.
- So it depends on the screen I see, move it to the top of the section like the previous image. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- All done @MarioSoulTruthFan: (I've also made it a little wider.--Christian (talk) 19:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- Ryan Reed from Rolling Stone quotes are giving a copyright violation of 54% you need to fix that, use your own words.
- Same as previous apply to People magazine quotes but in much lesser degree
- Let me know if this and previous points are correct now
- using her "platform" to raise awareness → I don't unsertand this, can you explain it?
- That's how the sources quotes it; changed it to "bringing awareness", let me know if it's correct
- Much better. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
