Gonna review this very soon... HĐ (talk) 03:56, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

@HĐ: Awesome! Hope the T-Swift articles are coming along well :)! Giacobbe ^talk 12:42, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Lead

• recalls and emulates one would be enough  Done
• Consider linking the instruments i.e. guitar, riff etc.  Done
• The song was a commercial success potentially POV; plus I don't think top 50 positions can be called a success... (maybe for the 1975, but not on a mainstream level)  Done

• Whoops, was supposed to say "moderate commercial". Giacobbe ^talk 12:42, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

More to come... HĐ (talk) 04:03, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

@HĐ: Ready whenever you are XD! Giacobbe ^talk 12:42, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Background

• Linking the 1975 at first instance can be useful  Done
• Introduce Healy (full name, position in the group...)  Done
• intending to release it in May 2019 "with a planned release in May 2019"  Done
• worried that fans "worrying"  Done
• Any info on their former band Drive Like I Do? (probably active years could be helpful)  Done

• Wasn't really a separate band per se; it was the former name of the current band. Changed the prose to reflect that. Giacobbe ^talk 13:26, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Composition

• Link music terms that non-music readers may find hard to understand (i.e. song structure, riff etc.)  Done
• A very detailed and informative section!

• Thanks man! Giacobbe ^talk 13:38, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Critical reception

• Contemporary music critics reacted favourably to "Me & You Together Song", praising its nostalgic production, heartfelt lyrics, and return to a more rock-oriented sound Potential WP:SYNTH

• I've seen a couple editors latch on to WP:SYNTH for song articles (including on that Swift article that you just got promoted to GA, congrats btw!!). I don't agree with this. My interpretation is that most critical reception sections for songs/singles follow this statement, which states: "It's not necessary to find a source that summarizes the information. As long as what's in the article is an accurate, neutral summary, and each of the statements is verified by an appropriate source, then the summary is also verified by the same sources." Most critics wouldn't comment on their peers assessments of a song, making it very unlikely to find a source that summarizes the response of all critics. Thus, following this logic, it violates this principle as well. For the sake of this article, I'll reword it slightly, but I figured I'd point this out if you have another editor question you on it!

• I don't see how the poster of 10 Things I Hate About You can elevate this section. I'd remove it  Done
• Is Ascribe Magazine reliable?  Done

• I don't think so, they're not verified on any social media platform and I can't find anything about an editorial staff. Giacobbe ^talk 14:20, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

• Not sure about Vanyaland either

• Vanyaland is reliable, quite established in the Boston area as an indie/alternative/culture magazine and an affiliate of Boston. Giacobbe ^talk 14:20, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Music video

• Converse' Is the single quote mark part of the shoes brand's name?

• No, I just prefer it to writing Converse's, lol. Giacobbe ^talk 14:36, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

• t-shirt I think the t should be capitalized  Done
• Probably link rom-com

• It's already linked in the "Composition" section. Don't know if it's necessary, but I can link it again if you'd prefer! Giacobbe ^talk 14:36, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Other

• I am not seeing a "commercial performance" section. This is fine I think, but probably a few sentences regarding its charting positions, charting dates etc. can be included in the "Charts" section.  Done

• Added this into the "Critical Reception" and changed it to "Reception". Giacobbe ^talk 17:14, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

• The rest is in good shape.

Putting this on hold for seven days. HĐ (talk) 01:19, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

@HĐ: I believe I've addressed all your concerns. If there's anything else, just let me know! Cheers :) Giacobbe ^talk 17:14, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for addressing everything. I particularly find your reasoning regarding SYNTH helpful for my future reviews as well. Passing this for GA. Great work as always! HĐ (talk) 02:37, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
