Hi, I don't know if you held off reviewing because of my brief block, but I am available to make improvements now. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 02:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't delaying the review because of that; I had some personal things to deal with in real life and I couldn't get to Wikipedia. Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 04:50, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

Infobox

• No issues

Lead

• ...and samples his instrumental dance track called "Penguin". → Remove the word "called" for better prose
• ...Avicii claimed that Lewis and her record label, Syco, had sampling his song without his authorisation... → Replace "sampling" with "sampled"
• Before the lawsuit filed by Avicii and his record label reach the hihg court → Add was between "lawsuit" and "filed"; Fix spelling error

   Done all Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Background and release

• "Collide was written by Arash Pournouri... → Put quotes around all of "Collide"

   Done Aaron • ^{You Da One}

Sampling controversy

• No issues

Composition and lyrics

• According to WP:SAMPLE, audio recordings have to be less than 10% of the original recording (right now it is 24 seconds and it has to be less than 23.9 seconds)

  I don't see one millisecond as an issue tbh. Aaron • ^{You Da One}

• ...from the low note of G♯3 to the high note of E♭5... → The phrase "low note of G♯3 to the high note of E♭5" should not be wiki-linked as one phrase

   Done Aaron • ^{You Da One}

Critical reception

• Put "Accolade" information as prose, and not in a table

  You can either use a table or use prose, like I have done in If I Never See Your Face Again. I was told either a table or prose is acceptable. Aaron • ^{You Da One}

Promotion

• No issues

Track listings

• Put length of each track listed

   Done Aaron • ^{You Da One}

Credits and personnel

• No issues

Charts and certifications

• No issues

Radio and release history

• No issues

References

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put the article on hold. There are only some minor prose issues that are keeping this article from reaching good article status. I will give you the general seven days to fix these issues and/or address issues you believe do not affect good article status. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks, I have done everything. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 12:01, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

The WP:SAMPLE issue needs to be addressed, even if it is by a tenth of a second; I would recommend making it 23 seconds, so you could get the most out of the music sample while still following the guidelines. As for the awards, I now see it is OK to use this in concerns to good article status, but make sure you fix the table, as it looks like it is not "closed" at the bottom. Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 17:58, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Does an entirely new sample have to be uploaded? I'm not sure what you mean by the table not having a bottom? Looks like it to me lol. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 18:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Aaron • ^{You Da One} 18:00, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

For the upload, you can use the same file page, but it will have to be reuploaded so that it follows the guidelines of WP:SAMPLE. As for the other issue, I went ahead and fixed it for you; it was sort of difficult to explain what needed to be done, but you will understand once you see the correction. Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 20:11, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

WP:SAMPLE is a rule of thumb, so one second won't make any difference to US fair use laws (as long as WP:FAIR USE is respected. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 21:33, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Tbhotch. I wasn't aware of the issue that you presented with WP:FAIR USE. Since all issues have been addressed now, I feel confident passing this article. Good job and keep up the good work! Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 17:30, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
