This review may come in stages of sorts because the article is very large, so if I add an edit only mentioning certain sections, that will not be the end of the review. --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

• This was coolmarc's original nom (I renominated after they retired), so I decided to check another GA for clarification. It put the number ones first, so I decided to reorder the positions accordingly. Username⁶⁸⁹² 15:49, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

• Any specific order here?

• Not that I'm aware of. If you want it to have a specific order, please tell me. Username⁶⁸⁹² 01:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Either order it in the Tidal credits order, or alphabetically. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:22, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

 Done

• Wikilinks and targets on the names should be added at all points when possible, including the lead artist
• Use {{spaced ndash}} so there is the right space between credits and personnel

 Done

Charts

Weekly charts

• Why is there an empty |- under here?

•  Removed

• Are you sure the Bulgaria pick is correct since that is from "The world TOP 10"?

•  Removed It's not

• Where do I access the chart position for Tophit ref?

For the first one, the chart history is on the first graph on the right. For the other 2, the song can be found by scrolling down through the chart. Username⁶⁸⁹² 01:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

• Are you sure the Czech Radio chart should be included?

• Is there an MOS Chart guideline that is against including this?

No that's why I was questioning it, but are you sure since this is a radio chart and singles is already included? --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:22, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

The "singles" chart appears to be a "digital singles" chart, which makes it seem like digital sales. Username⁶⁸⁹² 18:00, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

• Ditto for Slovakia
• The peak for Slovenia is 6, not 7
• Remove Ukraine Airplay per WP:CHARTS

• Isn't Ukraine Airplay by Tophit, not FDR Music Charts?

Username6892 It does mention that but says Ukraine in bold so I believe you should remove this. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:22, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

It appears I'd already removed it. Username⁶⁸⁹² 18:00, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

 Done

Monthly charts

 Done

Release history

• Format → Format(s)
• Hwasa remix → Hwasa Remix
• Alok remix → Alok Remix

• All refs need to be centered

 Done

References

• Make sure that all of these archived by using the tool
• Copyvio score looks great at 18.0%
• Cite Idolator as publisher instead for ref 13
• Are you sure ref 19 is reliable per WP:TWITTER? Also, cite Twitter as publisher instead if you keep this.

• I think this is the only thing I have left to do and I'm still undecided on this. I invite you to review the lead text I recently added for the music video's reception. Username⁶⁸⁹² 01:55, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

• Username6892 Did some copy editing of the music video text in lead, plus ref 19 should be removed or replaced (preferably the latter) since that tweet is from a fan account. Also, the various citation is incorrect and should be laid out like "All Day" instead. --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:08, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

• Remove wikilinks on Twitter for refs 24, 28, 31 and 80; same for ref 23 if ref 19 is kept

• The wikilink to twitter appears to be part of the template {{cite tweet}}

• Cite Inquisitr as publisher instead for ref 25
• MOS:CAPS issues with ref 26 and remove wikilink on Twitter
• Ref 37 should cite various iTunes of countries, since that release was apparently various

• From the sample of countries I saw on iTunes, all said 25 March, which is leading me to believe that all the countries show the original date. Username⁶⁸⁹² 20:54, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

• Either way, multiple countries need to be cited for verifying this was indeed a various release. --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:03, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

• Cite Popjustice as publisher instead for ref 41
• Fix MOS:CAPS issues with ref 63
• Cite Capital FM instead for ref 72
• Cite Vavel as publisher instead for ref 74
• Remove ref 87, as I explained in the music video section
• Target Vulture to Vulture.com on ref 89
• Cite Apple Music as the publisher for ref 98 to maintain consistency, with no wikilink
• Ref 99 should cite various countries to verify that the release was various
• Ref 107's archive does not display the proper info
• Fix MOS:CAPS issues with ref 110 and target HRT to Hrvatska radiotelevizija
• Fix ref 119's accessdate
• The archive for ref 124 leads to a download for some reason?
• Ref 140 is missing an accessdate
• Remove SloTop50 from the title of ref 143
• Wikilink Rolling Stone on ref 149 and add the data parameter
• Cite Radio Date as the publisher for ref 158

 Done @Kyle Peake: I think I've fixed all the issues at this point. Username⁶⁸⁹² 17:06, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
