I've listed this article for peer review because it has recently been promoted to a Good Article and I want to see how it can be further improved upon so that eventually it can be a Featured Article

Comment: while it would definitely not be appropriate for me to peer review, I will help along the way with getting this to FA :). XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 18:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Pedro

First of all, let me just say congratulations to you both for the work you did on this article. Amazing, considering how it was a year ago. I'm very glad to see this input to this song (it is one of my favorite Katy songs ever) and I think it could be improved even more. See Party (song), for example. It has two versions available (just like this song). Both were released as singles (here it's a little different, "E.T." [original] was released as a promotional single, nonetheless important just like "Walking on Air"); and both have relevant commentary and reviews, which probably is the case with the original version. I think if we work a bit into this, we can make something out like "Party"'s article, and I would definitely work on it if you don't mind it. prism^△ 21:04, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- One question: is there artwork available for the solo version? If so, that would make things easier. Also, I'm not sure how charts and such would be split. Thanks for the basis, though. There is also the Christina Aguilera remix of Do What U Want (though only takes up roughly 15% of the article rather than about half). XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 21:15, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, there is. It was released in August 2010 exclusively to iTunes as a countdown single. The charts could be found by 2010 Billboard articles or by searching article history here (there must have been an article for it when it was first released). For Do What U Want there were some editors who thought an infobox was inappropriate for that case (which I don't really understand). Obviously the solo version of E.T. would take up a smaller portion of the article since it wasn't an international hit single (thus it didn't get much recognition worldwide, aside from the demo leaks etc.)... prism^△ 21:25, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - I wasn't necessarily saying to have an infobox for Do What U Want. What I meant was that there is a section specifically dedicated to that edition of the song. Then again, Hot n Cold (which I reviewed and passed for GA) has an infobox for the "Woe, Is Me" cover and that edition doesn't take up much of the article.....

Comments from WikiRedactor

There are some external links that will need to be corrected.

Interesting, I thought they had all been addressed when Zanimum passed the GAN..... though Done

All of the pictures used in the article should have alternate text.

This actually never occurred to me before..... Done

In "Music video", all three sections could probably be merged into one because none of them are large enough to need a courtesy break.

Perhaps, though I did this for if each subsection gets expanded

In "Release history", I would suggest merging the two tables into one table, since the first one only has one entry.

Done

In "Certifications", I think you should convert the existing two-column certifications into a three-column version (like "Roar").

Can't seem to configure this :/, Giacobbe could you perhaps perform this?

In "References", I recommend organizing the citations in columns of three instead of two as they currently are.

Done

In "External links", it might be helpful if the MetroLyrics link for the track was included.

With or without Kanye? XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 04:39, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it would hurt to include both, although if you have to pick one, I'd probably go with the regular album version. WikiRedactor (talk) 19:22, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article is certainly in good shape, and is well on its way to becoming an FA! WikiRedactor (talk) 21:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
