I'll take care of this soon. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:52, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

BeatlesLedTV Nice to hear, will the review be later today or some other day this week? --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:10, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Might be sometime this week but not sure yet. Got some big events coming up irl that are more of a priority at the moment. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 18:13, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Hope you have fun and by the way I added the genre spoken word to the list because the article talks about West repeating God in an exasperated way at the end, so is this an acceptable genre edit? --Kyle Peake (talk) 19:15, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

No that definitely doesn't mean 'spoken word'. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 22:19, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Note: While I'm not doing a proper review yet, one thing I think could be done is add more to 'critical reception'. There's currently only three reviews, and considering this is one of the most notable songs from Yeezus, it deserves more. You could find album reviews that discuss it specifically, song reviews itself, or even retrospective reviews (as Yeezus is now almost six years old). Also, are there any images that can be added? (Images are a part of the GA criteria) – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:47, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

BeatlesLedTV Good idea, I will add more reviews sometime this week. Also, would an image of Miley Cyrus be acceptable for the Remix section? --Kyle Peake (talk) 19:54, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

I'd much rather have Daft Punk or West himself (in 2013) than her. Plus, it was just a remix. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 21:45, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

BeatlesLedTV Added a photo of West performing on the Saint Pablo Tour, since the Live performances section references him doing so. Is this alright? --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:04, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Yep – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:14, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

On the subject of images, I have added one of West to "Yikes" in the Commercial performance section. Is this appropriate usage? --Kyle Peake (talk) 16:30, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Comment: The "In popular culture" section should be converted from bullet points into prose. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:12, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Yes it should. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 21:43, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Another Believer & BeatlesLedTV I have done this now, does the ordering look fine (sorted by years) or does it need to be in exact date order? --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:04, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Yeah it should be in chronological order. A full review will come Thursday. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:14, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

BeatlesLedTV Have fixed this now and added more content to the Critical reception section, but does the latter still require more reviews or is it fine? --Kyle Peake (talk) 16:59, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Looks much better now. If you can find more I'd say go for it but if not it's no big deal. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:57, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

BeatlesLedTV I have added a source that singles out the song itself for a review and I'm going to move Music video inbetween Awards and Nominations & Commercial performance, as this is the correct place for the section to be in an ordered article, true? --Kyle Peake (talk) 16:21, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

I believe so. I'll verify tomorrow during my review – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:35, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Dope, can't wait to see that! I'm out until like 6pm UK time so will likely get home after you've finished the review. --Kyle Peake (talk) 16:54, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

BeatlesLedTV I'm responding to points below. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:22, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Lead and infobox

• Infobox looks good
• "It is centered" → "Its lyrics center"
  • Done
• "on June 19, 2013." → one day after the album's release."
  • Done
• Uncapitalize the 'u' in "urban contemporary"
  • Done
• "the song entered charts" → "the song charted

• Along with this, say "in 2013 and 2014" at the end of the sentence
  • Done for both

Background and composition

• Can we add a pic of Daft Punk?
  • Done
• Move period inside quotes after "any jeans necessary"
  • What do you mean?
• Ditto for 'ain't doin' shit"
  • What do you mean?
• Link "I Am a God" at the end
  • Done

Release and promotion

• Mention the song's release on Yeezus before SNL. Then say "before the album's release, West performed it on SNL..." Feel me?
  • Yep, done but wrote Saturday Night Live
• Fix ref 13 – currently just an archived url
  • Done

Critical reception

• Make sure periods are inside quotes
  • Done

Awards and nominations

• I think this would work better in prose (not in a table), especially since there's only 4 listed.
  • Done
• General question: this wasn't nominated for any Grammys?
  • No, see List of awards and nominations received by Kanye West

• Weird

Music video

• Looks really good. However, can we add some critical reviews here? You know for the video itself?
  • Having looked, I can only find (https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2013/jul/22/kanye-west-official-black-skinhead) and (https://ew.com/article/2013/07/22/kanye-west-black-skinhead-video/) as sources for reviews. Will just these two be enough?

• Yeah that's good enough.

Commercial performance

• "worst in France by charting" →"worst in France, charting"; replace "in the country" with the chart name (abbreviated is fine)
  • Done

Live performances

• Rearrange the last sentence to "West also performed the song live on the opening show..."
  • Done

In popular culture

• Alright, did some rearranging

Remix

• Alright

Credits and personnel

• Good

Charts

• Good

Certifications

• Good

Release history

• Good

Final thoughts

• Honestly this is your best one yet. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see what's next!  :-) – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 14:56, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
  • BeatlesLedTV Thanks a ton, we all get better over time! Do u think this article can be put on hold now since I only need to add the videos reception? (Will do this today) --Kyle Peake (talk) 15:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

• Yep meant to do that but forgot. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:57, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

• BeatlesLedTV Added the reception now, ready to pass this? --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:24, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Yep. I'll ✓ Pass this. – BeatlesLedTV (talk) 19:29, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

BeatlesLedTV Awesome!!! Can't wait to improve "All Mine" once I'm not busy irl so West can have another GA for a notable track. --Kyle Peake (talk) 19:56, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
