Infobox and lede

• "complementary" → "complimentary"
• "West and Kid Cudi first performed the song live"

•  Done --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Background and development

• "he was told by him" is a bit confusing

•  Done I used "the rapper" because "Cudi" would've been too repetitive --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• Kid Cudi has been believed to have directly influenced the album's creation by who?

• Does not directly say who, so I just added "often" if this is ok? --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• Comma after "and have a family"
• "but has not done so up to this point because of numerous reasons in his life" → "but numerous reasons in his life have kept him from doing so"
• Italics around OTHERtone per MOS:ITALICTITLE (a podcast qualifies as a major work, see My Favorite Murder and Reply All (podcast)

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Composition and lyrics

• Pipe bass to double bass, distinguishing from bass guitar
• Pipe organ to Organ (music)

•  Done --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Release and reception

• "that despite the song's music video being released on February 18, 2009," → "that, despite a music video being released for the song on February 18,"

•  Partly done I kept the release year because the previous one mentioned was 2008, so it would be confusing otherwise --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• "was thankful of Kid Cudi's "anxious cooing" on the song for serving as "a perfect counter"" → "was thankful for Kid Cudi's "anxious cooing" on the song, which served as "a perfect counter""

•  Partly done I used "serves" instead for the correct tense --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• capitalize Auto-Tune when not a direct quote, for consistency with previous section

• Are you sure about this, as I picked up changing the capitalisation after the first mention from 808s & Heartbreak? --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• "it became "has horribly ubiquitous"" → "it has become "horribly ubiquitous""

•  Done don't know how I made this silly mistake --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Music video

• Split the second sentence into two to avoid having multiple "and" clauses
• "Simultaneously with the release, West revealed through the blog" → "In a blog post accompanying the video, West revealed"

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• "and that he was 'forced'"

•  Done but remove "that" from earlier in the sentence to avoid overusage --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• "West was referring to the technique employed within American synth-pop band Chairlift's Ray Tintori–directed visual for "Evident Utensil";" → "West was referring to the video for American synth-pop band Chairlift's "Evident Utensil", directed by Ray Tintori."
• "Nabil dubbed it as "data moshing" in an MTV news interview on February 18, 2009. He further pointed out..." → "In an MTV News interview on February 18, 2009, Nabil dubbed the technique "data moshing", and cited Takeshi Murata as the most notable artist to use the technique"
• "While explaining it was used by him" → "While explaining that he used data moshing"
• "more of a strategic way" than what?
• "Nabil said because of differing parts" → "Nabil said that, due to differing parts"
• "it was of his desire"

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• going on to state he was assured the song required a music video. Not sure what this means.

• Reworded, how's this look? --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• "reinstated" → "restated"
• "the creation [of the video?] in New York"
• "The music video utilizes the data moshing technique for pixelating that is applied to West" → "The music video applies the data moshing technique of pixelation to West"
• Data moshing is used with and without a hyphen across this section. No preference for either, just consistency.

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• Mysterious ] bracket in the Stereogum quote

•  Done, must have accidentally added that when using [] for paraphrasing at the start of the quote --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Live performances

• The latter of the two's appearance was met with applause before he began to perform, while West introduced him. Setup is a bit confusing, mostly for the "latter of the two" phrasing, which is implied if West is the one introducing him

•  Done --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• Specify that Baller Status is a publication and not, say, an award

• I feel as if an introduction to the publication would lack focus, so I just changed to "writing for" if that's acceptable? --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• "him and Kid Cudi" → "he and Kid Cudi"
• If the album is being played in its entirely, it is implied that the setlist will follow the album's tracklist
• "During the first concert that they were billed as Kids See Ghosts" → "In their first concert under the Kids See Ghosts name"

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• "While it stood as the ninth track of their set, the song was the second track the duo performed that was not a Kids See Ghosts release." → "The ninth track of their set, the song followed set opener "Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1" as the second track that was not a Kids See Ghosts release."

•  Not done because it lacks focus to mention that song by name, plus it reads weirdly saying it followed it despite being seven places later --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Credits and personnel

• Pipe production to Record producer
• WL mixing engineer

•  Done --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Charts

• Looks good!

Certifications

• Looks good!

•  Done --K. Peake 20:43, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Other comments

• Edit history mostly stable, one edit war on 28 February that appears to have petered out
• Copyvio score looks good at 29.6%, with the red-marked section being a direct quote
• All AV media is relevant and labeled correctly.

Kncny11 Thank you for the review, I have fixed the majority of the changes and left a few questions for you above! --K. Peake 20:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Kyle Peake Everything looks good now! The questions you left about wording all check out, and I think that this is ready to promote! Kncny11 ^(shoot) 17:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Kncny11 Very good to know that I have achieved a pass with this article; however, you forgot to check the first three criterion off in the progress box. --K. Peake 17:49, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Kyle Peake Whoops, that's the ADHD! All fixed :) Kncny11 ^(shoot) 17:50, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
