Hi! I will review this article :) Till 10:22, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Lead

• It was released as the first single from the album --> so lead single?

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• The lead and "background/composition" section state that it derives from the "teen pop" genre although the Infobox does not.

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• critics --> music critics

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• It received mixed reviews from critics, who deemed it as infectious, yet unnecessary. --> Did some critics call it infectious and unnecessary? Or did some call it infectious, while others called it unnecessary?

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• An accompanying music video was directed by Jake Nava and features Lohan in several scenes dancing in club like surroundings and running from the paparazzi, emphasizing the song's theme. --> Something annoys me here. It seems hard to digest.

Background and composition

• New York, New York -> Distinguish from city and state please

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• The lead states that the song was released on 21 September 2004 although this is nowhere in the article (besides infobox).

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Reception

• The song received generally mixed reviews from contemporary critics. -> Start with the song's actual title, "Rumors", and again - music critics.

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• Some quotes could do with some paraphrasing

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• I think it is worthy of mentioning that it was certified Gold by ARIA (in Australia).

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• It also charted in Sweden and Netherlands.

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Promotion

• Commissioned is spelt wrong.

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• There are some commas that need to be put in the music video section for a better flow.

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Credits and personnel

• Make a column for personnel.

  Why is this necessary? - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• Because it looks more appealing Till 03:15, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Track listings

• Instead of [...], use (...)

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Weekly charts

• Need to be separated into 2004 and 2005 peaks.

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

References

• Make it only two columns. Three forces it for those on smaller screens.

   Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

• References are all fine

  Thank you! :) - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
