Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

Recording date is unsourced
"For the 1983 song," → "For the Mary Wells song,"
"Meghan Trainor to promote the film" → "Meghan Trainor, for promotion of the film"
"Martin Renea co-wrote it, and co-produced it with" → "Martin Renea co-wrote and co-produced the song, alongside"

This wording gave the idea that the Monsters and the Strangerz were involved in the songwriting too, so I tweaked it a bit.

"Epic Records released it as a single" → "Epic Records released the song for digital download and streaming as a single" with the appropriate targets
"percussion-heavy instrumentation, "I'm a Lady" is a" → "percussion-heavy instrumentation, it is a"
"song that has lyrics about" → "song, with the lyrics discussing"
"It received mostly positive reviews from music critics" → "The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics" with the target and add what was praised
"charted at number 40 on the US Adult Top 40 chart and 300 on the Russia Airplay chart" → "reached number 40 and 300 on the US Adult Top 40 and Russia Airplay charts, respectively, in 2017" with the target
"directed the music video," → "directed an accompanying music video,"
"2017, and features only" → "2017. The video features solely"
"in settings such as a boardroom, wearing" → "who are seen in a boardroom, wearing"
"shooting archery and lifting weights" → "shooting archery, and lifting weights"
"Trainor has performed "I'm a Lady" live" → "In 2017, Trainor performed the song live"

"In October 2015, Meghan Trainor" → "In October 2015, Trainor"
Add releae year of The Peanuts Movie soundtrack in brackets
"contributed another track called "Good to be Alive" to its" → "recorded another track entitled "Good to be Alive" for the"
"with The Monsters and the Strangerz" → "with the Monsters and the Strangerz"
"announced that she had written the song for the film Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) at the 2016 KIIS-FM Jingle Ball, describing it" → "announced at the 2016 KIIS-FM Jingle Ball that she had written the song for the film Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017), describing the song"
"fire'" and an" → "fire'", and called it an"
Wikilink upbeat to itself per MOS:LINK2SECT
The last sentence of this para provides irrelevant information to this section; add the Friday release date announcement here instead but move the stills info to Music video; try something in this section like "Weeks prior to its release, Trainor had announced the song for release on..."
"was edited by her brother" → "was edited by Meghan's brother"
"released as a single for digital download and streaming" → "released for digital download and streaming as a single by Epic Records"
"on February 27 and 28," → "on February 27 and February 28, 2017,"

I have a general rule of thumb that the year should only be mentioned once in a section per month, since more than that makes it look a bit cluttered.

""I'm a Lady" led to Trainor" → ""I'm a Lady" being used for promotion of Smurfs: The Lost Village led to Meghan Trainor"
"was released on" → "was ultimately released on"
"and did not include the song" → "with it not including the song"

Retitle to Composition and lyrics
"of "I'm a Lady"'s" → "of the song's" on the audio sample text
The prose of this section should start with the last sentence instead
The penultimate sentence should be the second instead in the new order
"has empowering lyrics" → "features empowering lyrics"
"Its pre-chorus" → "The pre-chorus" with the appropriate wikilink
"with its chorus" → "with the chorus of the song" with the target
"Both sections repeat a few times" → "Both sections are repeated a few times"
""I'm a Lady" has a positive message and percussion-heavy instrumentation," → ""I'm a Lady" includes percussion-heavy instrumentation and has a positive message,"
Target spoken to Spoken word
"noted to be reminiscent to her" → "noted to be reminiscent of her"

Maybe retitle this to Reception and mention the two chart positions in this section since they are written in the lead?
"by some critics" → "by some music critics"
"and its beat is one that" → "and said its beat is one that"
Target feminist to Feminism
"for the singer, and" → "for Trainor, and"
"She additionally criticized Trainor" → "Cauterucci additionally criticized Trainor"
"each other with the lyric" → "each other with the lyrics,"
"It received a nomination" → "The song received a nomination"

Wikilink music video to itself
"sees Trainor performing with a band" → "begins with Trainor performing alongside a band"
"scenes of women succeeding" → "scenes of women achieving success"
"walks of life, including:" → "walks of life, including;"
"shooting archery and lifting weights" → "shooting archery, and lifting weights"
"Outfits worn by Trainor" → "Outfits worn by Trainor for the visual"
"was described by Roth as "women can" → "was described by Roth as conveying the message that women "can"
Merge the second para with the first since it is only three sentences
"in the video, and it" → "in the music video, and said it"
"and do what they want." → "and do what they want"."
"constituting the" → "noting that she employs the"
"empowerment" with Trainor modeling" → "empowerment", commenting that Trainor models"
"and positively compared it" → "while positively comparing them"

Merge with the above section as the bottom para since it is only two lines and retitle the above to Music video and live performance
"performed "I'm a Lady" on" → "performed "I'm a Lady" for"
Target Today to Today (American TV program)
"This marked her first performance" → "This marked Trainor's first performance"
"and being on vocal rest" → "and taking a vocal rest"

Weekly chart positions for "I'm a Lady" → Weekly chart performance for "I'm a Lady"

Positions seems a bit more accurate? Chart performance would imply we are covering the song's entire chart run in the table, when it's just peak positions.

Kind of understand what you mean, retitled to Chart performance for "I'm a Lady" as this is how you should do for tables where the weekly charts are the only one. --Kyle Peake (talk) 11:40, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well done on having them ready and archived!
Copyvio score looks good at 20.6%
Remove ref 5's wikilink since this is her article, per WP:OVERLINK
Change ref 6 to citing Apple Music for all since that is what the URLs lead to, while have the wikilink solely on the US citation
Remove wikilink on Apple Music for ref 10

On hold since you have done a good job generally, but the article needs a few fixes before it becomes a GA. --Kyle Peake (talk) 08:41, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the review, Kyle! I made all of the changes and left justifications for the very few I chose not to.--N Ø 09:45, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
