Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 02:16, 30 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Infobox edit

  • The single cover image needs an alt
  • Redo the "recorded" section so it makes more sense; use Asking 4 It as an example please
    • With all due respect, that's a choice. I prefer how it is in "Shame".
      • Oh, I see. I was looking at this part exclusively through editing mode, so I overall assumed it would be a bulleted list. Yeah, this way's fine
  • Remove the "certification" section since its empty

Lead edit

Paragraph 1 edit

  • Remove the link to "lead single" per WP:OVERLINKING

Paragraph 2 edit

  • Remove the hidden linking of "|single charts"; it's unnecessary

Development and release edit

Paragraph 1 edit

  • The description for the image is a bit confusing to me; could you reword it?
  • "that he is..." → "that he was..."
  • Remove "; Williams didn't join them at the beginning."

Paragraph 2 edit

  • "William's" → "Williams'"
    • The article is written in British English and Britons use ex. Williams's over Williams', but it's fixed now :)
  • The second sentence uses a a lot of commas; could you reword this sentence as well?
    • I tried my best here.

Paragraph 3 edit

  • Insert a comma after "some countries"
  • "apart of the title track,..." → "apart from the title track,..."

Composition and lyrical interpretation edit

  • I would change the section title to "Composition and lyrics"
    • According to me it should be either 'Composition and lyrical interpretation' or 'Music and lyrics'; I usually prefer the first one
  • The rest of this section is fantastic
    • Thank you!

Critical reception edit

Paragraph 1 edit

  • You could add a link to contemporary music critics here
  • Are there more reviews you could add to this section; it would benefit the article greatly?
    • Unfortunately I couldn't find more :/

Chart performance edit

Paragraph 1 edit

  • Add a topic sentence discussing the track's commercial performance/reception please
    • I think we should leave the people to judge it, because everybody has diff perception of it honestly
  • Other than that, also good work

Music video edit

Paragraph 1 edit

  • Can you add dates on when the video was shot? If applicable of course...
    • Done.
  • Instead of the photo of the two actors, would one of the actual video be more beneficial?
    • I did have, but there isn't a clear scene that we can use honestly, so the photo got removed and I added pics of the actors
  • The synopsis is good, but a bit long? Do you think it should be shortened a bit?
    • Tried to cut it a bit, I think it's fine now, no?

Live performances edit

  • You use "Shame" a lot; remember, you can also use "the track", "the single", "the song", etc....
    • Done. Used only twice now.
