Round 1

Ok, i've started reviewing the article. I'll be reviewing it for the next 7 days, so i'll give my verdict by Friday May 11th, 2012. --Hahc21 (talk) 04:37, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, i've seen the article has been recently the subject of some controversy over the ownership of the song, and the page has been moved 2 times in the last 60 days. So, i'll ask: a consensus over this has been reached? If not, this article automatically fails the review process. --Hahc21 (talk) 19:51, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article was moved without consensus, and so was moved back to the original article name as a result of vandalism. So there is no issue here. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 10:51, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, all information about the song is in here? So there's nothing out there left that should be here? I'm only asking.. Just in case =).. --Hahc21 (talk) 19:51, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 10:51, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Finally... Until i wait for the answer, i'll be checking the references and that stuff. --Hahc21 (talk) 19:51, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Round 2

I've roughly checked the reference, syntax and semantics, but still have the issue about the consensus in mind. I'll give it a few days to decide what i'll do with it. I haven't received no response from the contributors of the article as of May 6. I wrote on their talk pages to see if they take a look at the page. --Hahc21 (talk) 06:06, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion to move was closed as there was no clear consensus. Seeing as how more sources discuss Rihanna and Chris Brown's version and they had a bigger contribution towards the production of the song, I think keeping it as is is not a bad idea. The discussion can always be reinitiated after the article passes as a GA. The decision of this GAN remains up to you however. —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 12:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I really appreciate that both of you guys answered me the question. I will continue with the review, i think that if it was moved without permission or consensus, then i can move on with it and make my review. Please be in touch! and thanks! --Hahc21 (talk) 17:13, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Round 3

Would it be possible to add a music sample and a picture to the article? I fell it needs that to be more complete. --Hahc21 (talk) 03:41, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I'll get on it. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 10:48, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I found the song. I'll be making the sample. --Hahc21 (talk) 18:01, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've already asked someone with specific times. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 19:08, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, i'll continue with the review then. The sample can be added later. --Hahc21 (talk) 11:42, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I added a pic. As soon as the sample is done I will add it in. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 13:17, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect =). --Hahc21 (talk) 03:30, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Round 4

Section scan:

Lead section:
- "Hollywood Records' decision to not include Rihanna and Brown's version was criticized by Ryan Brockington for the New York Post. But Michael Quinn for BBC Music was complimentary of The Pussycat Dolls cover." what if we make these two sentences as only one?
Done Aaron • ^{You Da One}
Background and development

Composition
- Checked
Reception
- Checked
Charts
- Checked

Reference scan: I verified all references and everything is ok. --Hahc21 (talk) 18:29, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Round 5

Another day, another round.

Well, i've red the article four times in a row and i believe it's ready. ~~I've comprehensively checked all sections and i found no issues on everyone of them. I'll wait for te contributors to see if they want to comment something to make my final read and give my decision.~~ --Hahc21 (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok i found some minor issues:
Composition and lyrics
- 1. "Producer of the song, Polow da Don, stated..." - shouldn't that be "The producer...."?
  - 1. Then it would read "The producer of the song...", changed reworded it. Aaron • ^{You Da One}
  1. "stated in his interview with MTV News that Rihanna vocal performance was "unique"..." - shound't that be "that Rihanna's vocal performance..."?
  - 1. Done Aaron • ^{You Da One}
  1. "saying how Brown delivered his rap with a high amount of energy and conviction." - wouldn't that be "deliveres his rap verses..."?
  - 1. delivers, yes. Aaron • ^{You Da One}
    2. haha sorry i put an "e" that wasn't supposed to be there XD --Hahc21 (talk) 03:13, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  1. "Rihanna's vocals "meshed" with the lyrics perfectly." - I think it should be better written as "Rihanna's vocals "meshed" perfectly with the lyrics."
  - 1. Done Aaron • ^{You Da One}

After those minor issues are fixed or resolved, i'll make my final read. --Hahc21 (talk) 18:59, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Final round

OK, now i think almost has been done. I'm ready to give my verdict.

The verdict

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.

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.

It follows the neutral point of view policy.

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):

Pass/Fail:

Final comments:This article was already in good shape at the beginning of the review. Only minor details were handled during the review process, like some grammas corrections, adding an image, a music sample. Finally, it is ready and it passes all the criteria. So, it is promoted.

Another comment: I was reading the move request and i don't get it yet. What a stupid proposal? Who the hell was this user? hey i'm not insulting him but please, it is a ridiculous idea. --Hahc21 (talk) 03:33, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, thanks. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:59, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
