Let's go @MarioSoulTruthFan:, the time has finally arrived. After months waiting, your nomination is being reviewed. –UrbanJE (talk) 11:46, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Your article is pretty consistent, undeniable well-written and extensive, but there are still some points that need to be fixed, for example:

Lead

In the lead, you said that the song was released on October 11, in the United States as a lead single, however, in "Release history", is written that it was released in "various countries" at the mentioned date. So, I suggest you to remove the United States from the lead, to avoid confusion, as it was available for download in other place beyond the America.

Still in the lead, we find this: "Some critics praised Mars' pop-nostalgia chorus and Snoop Dogg's rap, but criticized Wiz Khalifa's rap performance." I'm a little lost here, critics criticized Wiz Khalifa's performance, but why? They criticized it because of what? You should mention.

'Composition

In composition: "the song consists of hip-hop drums overlaid with a revolving, chilled "twinkling" piano hook and Mars' "sprightly", "carefree choral hook". Please, add "and" before "sprightly" and "carefree choral hook."

This sound sample is missing a bigger description, please, expand a little bit this part. It seems so empty and useless.

Critical reception and accolades

For critical reception: You primarily use Bruno Mars' surname to described him, you should keep using this instead of his entire name, as you already mentioned him only as "Mars."

Release history

In "Release history": "Young, Wild & Free" was first released on October 11, 2011, by Rostrum and Atlantic Records in various countries.On December 4, 2011, the single was liberated digitally in the United Kingdom and on February 3, 2012, and it was released with its accompanying music video in Germany, Austria and Switzerland by Atlantic Records." You cited Atlantic Records twice in here, remove the second citation.

Overal

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Fix these issues, then I'll take one more look and pass it. –UrbanJE (talk) 11:46 14 February 2018 (UTC)
