Checking against GA criteria

• Try to incorporate the whole lead into one paragraph.
• The production of the song was handled by → Just say the producer, let's not beat around the bush.
• The song contains lyrics about Brown trying to "convince a hot girl he spots in the club to come back to his crib" → This would be better paraphrased.
• "Bassline" garnered mixed reviews from music critics, with some critics noting it as one of the standout tracks on the album, while others criticized the song's production and lyrics. → This jumps from past tense to present tense and back to past tense. Try to keep everything consistent.
• To the works by → Works... you mean songs? If so, then just write songs.
• "Bassline" debuted at number 28 on the UK R&B Chart and at number 122 on the UK Singles Chart → "Bassline" debuted at numbers 28 and 122 on the UK R&B Chart and UK Singles Chart, respectively.
• There is barely background information in the first section, so change the title to "Development and composition".
• The production of the song was handled by → Same as point 2
• with assistance by Iain Findley → With assistance from Iain Findley
• The song last for a duration of three minutes and 58 seconds
• to the works by → Same as above
• Why is penis in quotation marks? Lol.
• Make the chart table sortable.
• Ref #15: publisher is Hearst Magazines UK.

 Done but what do you mean in point 10? — Oz (talk) 04:34, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

..."The song last" ... "for a duration"... Till 05:05, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Um I still don't get you lol. Do you want me to change or remove a word? — Oz (talk) 05:14, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

"The song last" is incorrect grammar, it should be "the song lasts..." and "for a duration" is completely redundant and should be removed. Till 05:24, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
