Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Only reason I am declining this is because there is no source to the time number, otherwise it's already in there. -- DQ (t) (e) 22:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Links are clean

Lead

[edit]

Background and composition

[edit]
  • "follows the chord progression C-Gm-Dm-F" →follows the chord progression of C-Gm-Dm-F. Also chords should be linked with en dashes, not hyphens.
 Done
  • "the song contrasts with its "tender lyrics."" - contrasts what with lyrics?
 Done
  • Who produced the song?
 Done Candyo32 20:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception

[edit]
  • I think Lamb's comments should be together
I split it up because end-of-year lists and awards are generally placed at the end of the reception section whereas comments from single/album reviews are at the beginning. Candyo32 20:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then you just need his last name the second time. Adabow (talk · contribs) 21:46, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chart performance

[edit]
  • "It achieved greater success on the main chart in Canada" - why "on the main chart"? I think you should remove
 Done
  • "The song sold 586,541 copies in Usa." - Usa→US, source?
Sorry about that, I guess a fan added that. Candyo32 20:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The song has been certified Gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of 500,000 copies." - no citation here

Music video

[edit]
  • The first sentence is a bit fluffy. How about "The music video, directed by Chris Dooley, was shot on location in Lucerne Valley, California and premiered on September 3, 2010..."?
  • Selena Gomez→Gomez
Done.
  • Bill Lamb→Lamb
Since he's not the main subject of the article and techinically being reintroducted in this section, shouldn't his full name and what he's writing for be noted again?
Hmm, not sure, I'll leave it to you. Adabow (talk · contribs) 21:49, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link Idolator
Done. Candyo32 20:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Live performances

[edit]
  • Gomez and the Scene→Selena Gomez & the Scene as this is their official name
Done. Candyo32 20:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "They performed the song on January 5, 2011, and afterwards awarded the Choice award for Favorite Breakout Artist" - needs a complete rewrite. The context is not given
Done. Candyo32 20:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Release history

[edit]
  • Mention the Spanish version
Would it be fine to leave it in the context as adding would need another column specifying what version of the song is being released, and taking into consideration that the release history isn't even a part of WP:SONGS. Before I revamped the article the release history was already here. Candyo32 20:50, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On hold for seven days. Adabow (talk · contribs) 02:07, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am satisfied with improvements, the article now meets criteria, so I am passing. Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:03, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that

[edit]

When I visited the talk page I didn't see the GA review section, so I removed the article. Really sorry. - Sauloviegas (talk) 20:53, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
