Infobox and lead

Remove wikilink to Kanye West under songwriters WP:OVERLINK
Per Template:Infobox song, only lead producers should be credited in the infobox, therefore remove, Angel Lopez, Vindver and Timbaland

Done for the above even though I had already set these credits properly before this edit switched things around --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

"Clemons and West had a conversation about Jesus, which the song came from" → "The song came from a conversation between Clemons and West about Jesus"

Done --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Background and recording

First paragraph is really long, maybe split it up into a few?

Done how's that look? --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

[sic] → [sic], using Template:Sic

Done --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Composition and lyrics

Looks Good!

Release and promotion

No problems found, looks good!

Critical reception

Looks good!

Commercial performance

"entered at number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100" → "entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 51"
"the track gave Clemons his first appearance on the Hot 100" → "the track gave Clemons his first appearance on the chart"

Done --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Credits and personnel

Change title to just "Personnel," "Credits and personnel" is used when there are recording locations involved

Are you sure about this? I was thinking that stuff like "recording engineer", "associated performer" and "mastering engineer" makes it titled as of current? --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Okay fair enough, Keep it as is. LOVI 33 13:37, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Charts

Looks good!

Notes

Looks good!

References

ref 1 is a bare url, replace with a citation

Not done I instead removed since it was added in the recent edit that changed the infobox --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Looks good!
