Product placement

[edit]

The article could mention the product placement of Payless ShoeSource, Bartles & Jaymes and Alizé. A citation would be nice, but the video (and lyrics) make it pretty clear. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 21:21, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The more than 60 million views on YouTube may also be noteworthy. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 21:24, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in 3-Way (The Golden Rule)

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 3-Way (The Golden Rule)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "liner":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:09, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • The release date needs to be directly sourced in the body
  • Use bullet points instead of hlist per Template:Infobox song
  • Remove comedy from genres since charting on the comedy chart does not inherently make this song that genre
  • Add a comma before the featuring part in prose
  • Make the writing/production sentence the second of the lead instead
  • Remove SNL from brackets when it is already written earlier in the sentence, as that implies this
  • The host role is not sourced; Gaga is only mentioned as being slated to appear
  • "on May 24," → "on May 24, 2011," and make the nervous sentence the one before this
  • Add the genre next to R&B of new jack swing
  • "with additional production from" → "with further production from"
  • Lowercase the Futuristics per MOS:THEMUSIC
  • The lack of understanding does not seem to be what the quote from Gaga sources; reword the "who..." part
  • Place the music video sentence after the reception and accolades ones in the lead, plus follow this with a mention of the live performance
  • "The music video," → "The accompanying music video," with the wikilink
  • "and finds Samberg and Timberlake reprising their roles from that skit" → "that finds Samberg and Timberlake reprising their roles from the skit"
  • "reviews from critics who" → "reviews from critics, who"

Background and writing

[edit]
  • "portrayed in past" → "portrayed in the past" and remove the brackets in this context, plus add the year(s) of these skits
  • "Speculation only increased when photos of Samberg and Timberlake" → "Speculation increased when photos of the duo"
  • Wikilink music video
  • "The track named" → "The track, named"
  • "written on May 19, with" → "written on May 19, 2011, with" and wouldn't it be better to mention that it was recorded on the following day here instead of the shoot?
  • Lowercase the Futuristics per MOS:THEMUSIC
  • "was written with keeping Lady Gaga in mind since she was set to appear on Saturday Night Live" → "was wrote with Gaga in mind since she was set to appear on SNL"

Composition

[edit]
  • Audio sample looks good!
  • Add R&B as a genre per the Los Angeles Times
  • ""3-Way"'s premise follows the early 1990s pop duo" → "the premise of "3-Way" follows the early 1990s pop duo of" removing the brackets, plus do something similar for the Gaga part
  • Wikilink threesome
  • Where is the girl quote sourced?
  • Pipe Payless ShoeSource to Payless (footwear retailer)
  • "Gaga's character acknowledges that" → "Gaga's character acknowledges" however, this one quote is not sourced
  • "and that they should follow" → "and they should follow"
  • "on May 23:" → "on May 23, 2011:"
  • The quote needs a speech mark to start it, plus you are using the wrong source here

  • "received positive reviews" → "were met with positive reviews"
  • "the skit, writing, "Timberlake" → the skit, writing that "Timberlake"

  • "the skit "hilarious" and praised" → "the skit "hilarious"; he praised"
  • "digital short D--- in a Box [sic]."" → "digital short D--- in a Box [sic]"."
  • "to the track, saying" → "to the track, saying:"
  • "saying that the composition of the track was comparable to that of their previous release" → "saying the composition was comparable to that of the Lonely Island's previous release"
  • "debuted at number 7" → "debuted at number seven" per MOS:NUM
  • Pipe Gaon Download Chart to Circle Chart

Music video and live performance

[edit]
  • "their characters aka "2:30 AM,"" → "their characters known as "2:30 AM,""
  • "of the other's mother (played by" → "of the other's mother, played by" and add, respectively after these
  • "says hi. Jinx!" before" → "says hi. Jinx!", before" with the pipe
  • "as they sing the song's introduction ("yeah yeah yeah" repeated several times)." → "while singing the song's introduction "yeah yeah yeah" repeatedly."

Final comments and verdict

[edit]
Excellent review, Kyle Peake! I think I've addressed everything. The only thing I don't agree is about the overlink in the references. Per MOS:REPEATLINK, it's fine "repeating the same link in many citations". Also, in my opinion, a reference can be read at different times in an article, not in chronological order.
