Initial Review edit

No Citations needed, which is awesome. Looks like it adheres to everything, though I'd like to take a closer look tonight. TotallyNotEtreo 08:12, 18 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'll be glad to take this one; comments to follow in the next 1-3 days. Thanks in advance for your work on it! -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:15, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

This looks reasonably good on first pass; there were some copyediting problems, but none that couldn't be immediately cleaned up. Two action points below, and if you disagree with any of my changes so far, feel free to revert. Thanks again for your work here....

  • As (arguably) a statistic, the song length should have an inline citation in the infobox
  • "Singer Michael Bublé sang the song in an interview with VH1, when he was asked "What kind of stuff would we hear your sing?".[1]" -- this seems incredibly trivial--he only sings one line from the song as a joke, and it doesn't appear mentioned in any secondary sources about the song. (Also, watching the video, the quotation seems wrong). I'd suggest cutting this. -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:36, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • According to an interview in GQ, the song's inspiration is the movie Traffic--seems important to include, as it's the only hint I could find of the song's inspriation. [1] -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:44, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
    • I'll add it, but before I can do that is there another reliable link displaying this interview, cause Rapgenius is usually not a reliable source. 和DITOREtails 19:15, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Checklist edit

Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Spotchecks show no evidence of copyright problems.
  1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
  2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
  2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). One quotation seems to be written inaccurately; song length needs citation.
  2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
  3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. See note about the song's inspiration above.
  3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). Michel Buble's joke seems to minor to include here, barring evidence that it's being reported by other sources.
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
  6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
  7. Overall assessment. Pass as GA

Fake cover? edit

I removed the cover used in this article as unofficial, only for my edits to be reverted as "complete and utter bullshit" later on. I'd just like to take the time to clarify my rationale for removing it. The given source, this DJServicePack page, doesn't indicate any involvement by Ocean's record label, Def Jam Records, with this cover, and coupled with the fact that DJServicePack itself hasn't even been established as a reliable Wikipedia source (only 11 articles on the whole site actually use it as a source) makes me question its reliability. This was an airplay-only single (no physical/digital release occurred), so unless a more official source like Def Jam explicitly announced this as the single cover then I doubt it's legitimate. Also, a quick Google image search makes it apparent that this "cover" was just cheaply cobbled together from two existing photos of Ocean and Sweatshirt. Holiday56 (talk) 16:20, 25 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
