Lead

While working on her EP -> the is more proper Done
she chose to enlist the help of producer Bangladesh so that she could give her music a tougher edge -> Better choice of wording available. Also, is he known for being touch? Done
Lyrically, the song talks about rich guys hitting on her that try to buy her attention. -> I know you can do better Done
deadbeat father and also his relationship with Kesha -> what's the connection? Any mention who the child is? Its too vague Done

Partially done, i changed to friendship but his whole verse is just stupid, i went with what the source called it i cant elaborate further, sentence does its job fine. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me -

that draws similar influence to the songs of -> confusing Done

Background

Is there a smaller picture of Andre available? That section break truly annoys me. Maybe you can crop it, honestly a third of the photo is black Done
While working on her album, Cannibal, -> we already established it's her album Done
Bangladesh. Bangladesh Done
In the lead, instead of writing vague terms like tougher, just quote "more gangster" ✗ Not done

Not a fan of quotes in the lead because they are suppose to need sources, which is completely contradictory. Both sentences get their points across. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me -

Then use more encyclopedic wording.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:44, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

to Rap-Up how -> Rap-Up Done
a verse for the song. "I sent -> a verse for the song: "I sent Done
André 3000 was "one of my favorite musicians -> is Done

Composition

rich men -> professional writing please; wealthy, affluent etc. Done
Vocally, the song follows previous singles footsteps -> you lost me there Done
The last sentence of the first paragraph needs tightening and is confusing. Re-read it aloud and you'll understand Done
The sample could use a better description, and should be sourced ✗ Not done

Source is in the composition, not needed here as its not something likely to be argued. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me -

Sample needs appropriate punctuation.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:44, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Link PopMatters Done
Pop Matters however, -> Pop Matters, however, Done
Bill Lamb noted -> who's he? Done
noted on Bangladesh's production that it -> weird wording Done
What relationship are you implying? Sexual, professional? Done

Reception

called "Sleazy" "apropos" -> I'm not sure what that means, and I'm not sure what you linked it to either ✗ Not done

The link is to different meanings of the word, in this use it means "Very appropriate to a particular situation", basically it means she gets her point across well. Thats why it is linked. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 03:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Care to make is more of a sentence?--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Link MTV Done
She didn't meet the song Done
with a positive review, she wrote -> poor transition Done
Link AOL radio Done
that the song followed similar form to that -> GR Done
commenting it is -> no flow Done
Sal Cinquemani commented -> who? Done
commented on "Sleazy" production Done
I don't understand the last sentence Done
Re-order the Canada sentence Done
Avoid choppy sentences Done

References

Several news cites do not use the cite news template; #s 8, 10, and many are missing publishers; #s 3, 4. Lastly, you should link only first time with references. That's all. Good luck, you have one week.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 00:34, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

✗ Not done Not a GA issue. I use cite "web" for all cites other than press released and album notes because of ongoing issues on which are to be used, some cause MOS issues so i stick with web for consistency and easier formatting. Other than that all issues have been addressed. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 03:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CK, they need different templates.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:42, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"[[Template:Cite web|This template is used to cite online sources in Wikipedia articles. {{Cite news}} can also be used when citing a news source; for general information about citations in Wikipedia articles, see Wikipedia:Cite sources.]]" Both are acceptable, i use cite web, not news. This isn't even a FA issue as there are many different ways to format. All GA issues now addressed. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 04:09, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Last things

There is some information lacking in the background section, including: official release date, label, A-side and formet. That should be explained somewhere other than the infobox, and backed by references. I think that's the last of them, but I'll have a last look after.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 12:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
