Final comments and verdict

•  On hold after reviewing this over the day, do not feel to question me if you have any enquires and good work here from you! --K. Peake 18:48, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

  Carbrera been a week by now, any updates on this? --K. Peake 15:00, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

  • Kyle Peake – my apologies. I am over halfway through your comments. Could I have one more day to complete making any changes? Carbrera (talk) 18:48, 26 August 2020 (UTC).

    • Kyle Peake – In regards to why Luis Fonsi is included here and not elsewhere is simply a little goof on my end. "Baby" is Clean Bandit's song that features both Marina and Fonsi. I will update the other articles accordingly to mention both musicians. And as for more critical reviews of "Karma", I am afraid I could not find anymore. Other than that, I believe I addressed all of your comments. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Thanks for your patience, Carbrera (talk) 11:16, 28 August 2020 (UTC).

      Carbrera This is looking nice, though you did not fix the issue with introducing Patterson in the opening section of the body. --K. Peake 13:20, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

      • • Kyle Peake – How's it looking now? Carbrera (talk) 07:24, 29 August 2020 (UTC).

Carbrera You are supposed to mention in the production sentence that he is "of Clean Bandit". --K. Peake 08:13, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Kyle Peake – Fixed it. Carbrera (talk) 18:58, 29 August 2020 (UTC).

Carbrera You placed the info in the wrong area but I fixed that for you, article can now ✓ Pass! --K. Peake 07:02, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
