1. Well-written
- During their the Maybe Man Tour in 2024... "The" should be capitalized since it's part of the tour title
- Visual effects were applied to various parts of the video, simulating the band singing underwater and editing multiple versions of Jack on an escelator into the same shot. escalator is misspelled
2. Verifiable
Copyvio check highlights song lyrics and properly-attributed quotes. The article uses reliable sources. The YouTube source is fine because it is from the official iHeartRadio page per WP:RSPYT.
For the reference layout, I see that the dates on 46-48 do not follow the MDY format that is used in the rest of the references. This isn't necessarily against GA criteria but it's good to be consistent.
- Spot check:
- No issues: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 24, 25, 27, 32, 36, 42, 45
- On YouTube, the video had AJR's highest-grossing opening day, gaining 606,748 views upon its release Source 21 has the correct view number, but I cannot verify it was the "highest-grossing opening day"
3. Broad
The article covers the main aspects of the song and is focused on the topic.
4. Neutral and 5. Stable
The article is neutral, and there are no ongoing content disputes.
6. Illustrated
Non-free use rationale for the cover art and audio, and the photos of the filming locations are free use. All have relevant captions
@Koopastar: There are not a lot of changes needed here so good job! I will be happy to promote once the changes are made. -Riley1012 (talk) 20:27, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- I have fixed these issues now, thank you for reviewing the article! Koopastar (talk) 20:53, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

ongoing: Promoted to GA on 9th and nominated here for DYK on 10th June. Article is long enough. 2 free images in article from Commons and 2 medias uploaded on enwiki with rationale. No apparent copyvios other than quotes. All the 3 hooks are verifiable as per the sources; but none of them appear in the article as have been presented here in the hook. "Horn line" should be linked or explained. I suggest rephrasing the article words to include these lines. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:44, 16 June 2024 (UTC)- @Dharmadhyaksha I have fixed the issue for two of the hooks by using more words directly from the article (I opted not to do ALT1 as in retrospect it seems less interesting than the other two).

- Both original and ALT2 hooks are ok. However i prefer ALT2 more as it is unique for this particular article. All good to go now! §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:18, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
