Infobox and lead

edit
  • Having disco, disco-pop and pop as three separate genres is too repetitive; maybe disco can be kept depending on what you can comment about this one but pop should be removed since it is in two other genres and also the background just mentions this as the style envisioned
  • WP:OVERLINK of Dua Lipa under songwriters
  • "Lipa wrote it with" → "Lipa co-wrote the song with"
  • "released it as" → "released the song as"
  • Wikilink lead single
  • Do commas really needed to be used before "and" when this is British English?
  • I have never run into issues using oxford commas on Adele articles. I was curious so I Googled around a bit, and it seems Oxford commas are perfectly acceptable in British English, although not mandatory. Our own guideline has no preference between using or not using it, but just asks it be done consistently within the article.--NØ 14:53, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • ""Dance the Night" was inspired by" → "it was inspired by"
  • "the sound of "Dance the Night"" → "the sound of the song"
  • Wikilink music video
  • ""Dance the Night" was included" → "The song was included"

Background and release

edit
  • Img looks good!
  • Remove the full stop at the end of the first sentence since the question mark suffices
  • Per the "an unexpected slightly..." quote, re-invoke the ref backing this quote up at the end
  • Ronson co-writing the song with Lipa and Ailin does not appear to be sourced, also shouldn't you mention Wyatt too here so the full songwriters are written out in the body?
  • Shouldn't the word love be italicised per the source?
  • "wanted to synchronise it" → "wanted to synchronise the song"
  • The release information is confusing; I recognize the sources say it was due four days later on the Friday, but the actual single release was on 25th May so this needs to be mentioned somewhere
  • "in the United States." → "in the United States four days later." per the source
  • The last three sentences should be moved to the music video section to use it for a promotion section

Composition

edit
  • Retitle to Composition and lyrics
  • "Ronson, and the Picard Brothers" → "Ronson and the Picard Brothers"
  • "cello, violin, and viola" → "cello, violin and viola"
  • Assessing my earlier comments about the infobox/lead, it seems like disco, disco-pop and synth-pop should be the three genres per what these sources say
  • "believed it was pop" → "believed the song to be pop"
  • Shouldn't you use a term like "manufactured sounding music" that is more encyclopedic instead of "pure plastic"?
  • "Ashford & Simpson, and" → "Ashford & Simpson and" per British English
  • "she continues to look good" shouldn't this be changed to something like "she continues to make herself look good" as the lyrics are not stating that others think she looks good, rather how she says "you can see it in my face"?

Critical reception

edit
  • First para looks good!
  • "due to its inclusion in the film, and" → "due to the film usage and""
  • "thought it was a" → "thought the song was a"
  • "and some others" → "and a couple of others"

Accolades

edit
  • Remove comma after Best Choreography
  • The Golden Globe Award is not sourced

Commercial performance

edit
  • The Billboard ref cited for number six is when the song only just reached the top ten
  • "was certified 3× platinum" → "was certified triple platinum in Canada"
  • "received a 4× platinum certification" → "received a quadruple platinum certification" but the Australian charts source is for number six
  • Seems like a stylistic preference. I prefer using the numbers since we can't expect everyone to understand what complex words like quadruple mean.--NØ 14:53, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Number one in the Commonwealth of Independent States is not sourced
  • I believe you have to scroll through the diagram on the left, and "Dance the Night" can be seen spending four weeks at #1 on radio from August 10 to August 31, 2023.--NØ 14:53, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • "2× platinum in Poland," → "double platinum in Poland,"

Music video

edit
  • Retitle to Music video and promotion, making the promotion from the background section the last para here
  • Name as Greta Gerwig on the img text as this is separate from prose with the wikilink for this and music video
  • Are you sure [9][111] should all be invoked together when [9] is only used for a small amount of those sentences?
  • "Robbie, Issa Rae, and" → "Robbie, Issa Rae and"
  • "Rae, and Mackey dancing" → "Rae and Mackey dancing"

Credits and personnel

edit

References

edit
  • Copyvio score looks pretty good at 31.5%!

  • Wikilink NME on ref 53
  • Wikilink The Observer on ref 55
  • Fix MOS:CAPS issues with refs 91 and 199
