I'll review this one within 7 days! In the meantime, I would appreciate a review of one I recently put up if you are up to it. Regards.--NØ 10:59, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Capitalize the "D" in Deluxe and put italics around the bracket so it isn't italicized in the infobox.
• There's a MOS:SANDWICH issue with the infobox and the Background and recording section currently. While not mandatory for GAs, this could be fixed by sending the picture to the right side.

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• Is it necessary to bold "Gasoline" in the lead if the song was never released under that title?

•  Comment: there is a redirect for "Gasoline" that leads here, also this is notable for the lead without adding the full story. --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• "Jahlil Beats handled the production, while he co-wrote it with the rappers and Alexander Izquierdo" → "Jahlil Beats handled the production, and co-wrote it with the rappers and Alexander Izquierdo"

• "In the lyrics of the song, Mill and Big Sean offer encouragement of burning." → "In the lyrics of the song, Mill and Big Sean encourage listeners to burn" maybe?

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• Billboard is not a part of the Bubbling Under chart's name so it could be removed

•  Not done the chart is published by Billboard, which can be simplified by mentioning the magazine here.

• "On October 10, 2012, an accompanying music video was released, set in a warehouse. It shows Mill and Big Sean accompanied by models, crocodiles, and vehicles, with the cars exploding." → "The music video was released on October 10, 2012, which shows Mill and Big Sean accompanied by models in a warehouse, along with crocodiles, vehicles, and exploding cars."

•  Partly done kept accompanying usage but changed the rest --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Background and recording

•  Done --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• "three days before it was included on Mill's ninth mixtape Dreamchasers 2" → "three days before it was released alongside Mill's ninth mixtape Dreamchasers 2" since its inclusion was probably decided upon earlier.

•  Partly done used as part of instead since the song appears on this mixtape --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• "crafting it as a continuation of the song and fellow Mill single" → "crafting it as a continuation of the song and Mill's single"
• "Jahlil Beats recalled that he first formed the song" → "Jahlil Beats first formed the song"

•  Done --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Composition and lyrics

• Maybe link to Brass instrument

•  Not done already linked in the previous section that talks about recording anyway --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• "Throughout the song, Mill and Big Sean perform back and forth" → "During their performance on the song, Mill and Big Sean go back and forth"
• "the rappers implore to "let that shit burn!"" - I'd add "listeners" after implore here as well

•  Done --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Release and reception

• "The song was released to digital download and streaming formats in the US as the second single for the album by Maybach and Warner Bros. on September 11, 2012." → "The song was released for digital download and streaming in the US, as the second single for the album, by Maybach and Warner Bros. on September 11, 2012."
• "with general praise for the chemistry of Mill and Big Sean" → "with general praise for Mill and Big Sean's chemistry"
• "He said the instrumental's "ferocious energy" is matched by Mill and Big Sean, whose differences make them a powerful duo, with the latter being known for "humor and flash without much muscle" and the former for "grit and aggression" with a lack of wit; he concluded that their styles compliment each other." - This is a long sentence so you could split the parts before and after the semicolon
• "that it features the mixtape's best rapping with "Sean's witty rhymes" and concluded of his yacht lyrics: "Anchors aweigh!" - comma after the first quote

•  Done for the above --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

•  Not done the source uses "maybe" when discussing this --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• Remove Billboard from the Bubbling Under chart here as well.

•  Partly done it is not at the start, but I wrote published after the chart because this is more detailed than the lead. --K. Peake 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• "for the week of August 4, 2012" → "for the issue dated August 4, 2012"

Music video and other usage
