Let's see if third time is the charm. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:33, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

I hope it is :) XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 21:53, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

I've made a very slight run-on sentence in "Background and release". Passing it and "Composition", including the sample OGG. Passing images, both fair use and free. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:00, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that, and thank you very much sir! XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 21:06, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that! Giacobbe ^talk 21:10, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Background and production

• Shortened French radio info, it was mostly irrelevant to readers. What Katy says is more important than where she said it.
• The quote at the end of the section is over dotted, three dots per occurence only, please.

Synopsis

• felids is an unfamiliar term: why say that, as opposed to cats?

Wikipedia links cats as an actual household cat, felids are the actual family of larger cats (the ones shown in the video) Giacobbe ^talk 20:23, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

• Maybe it's best to just to simply say "large cats" and not link it. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:27, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

• Or [[felids|big cats]]? Large felines is fine, but it's a tricky thing what to say here. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

• "She comes across a broken robot (resembling a spaceman), which upon her kiss turns into a" --> "She comes across a broken robot, resembling a spaceman; upon her kiss it turns into a"

• why is Pigeon capitalized? gazelle isn't. Only Latin names of animals are generally's capitalized, or English names of animals that have human names mixed in.

• Vogue sunglasses... is that a brand, a style?

Vogue is a brand, though no Wiki page exists for it. Giacobbe ^talk 20:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

I recognize the logo, now that I Googled it. Interesting side note, Vogue Eyewear is owned by Luxottica, which owns Ray-Ban, Oakley, makes for Prada, Chanel, Armani... and then they own practically every eyewear chain: Bright Eyes, LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Sunglass Hut... good grief! -- Zanimum (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Reception

• Does Sal Cinquemani have other criticism of the video? The quote you've included seems rather docile.

Live performances and cover versions

• What's a Walmart Soundcheck set? I haven't the foggiest. Is it online, is it at a store, is it a concert at Walmart head office?

• Removed since it's hard to say exactly what those are. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:39, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

• Googling this, it's easier to describe than you thought. Don't over think things, sometimes the answer is closer than you'd think. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

• Hold on, this was actually a downloadable track? (Just looking at the article/redirect for Walmart Soundcheck, re: Big and Rich's appearance. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walmart_Soundcheck&oldid=567880886 ) -- Zanimum (talk) 00:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

• The tour should be mentioned first, even if these one-offs were earlier. It seems like an afterthought where it currently is placed.

• How is it now? XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:39, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

• Looks good. While this format isn't chronological, it's most important first. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Passing "Track listings and formats", "Credits and personnel", "Charts", "Certifications", "Release history", "See also", "External links". -- Zanimum (talk) 19:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Passing "Critical reception", "Commercial performance". References left, plus reviewing your changes. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:59, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

There is variance between references to Billboard. Sometimes it's "Billboard. Prometheus Global Media." and sometimes "Billboard (New York: Prometheus Global Media)." Are they even two different templates, perhaps? cite news and cite web?

None of the sources seems out of line to cite.

There are a few problem links. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:38, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

While cite web and cite news are somewhat different templates, I've made them all match now. Also removed dead links. Zanimum any last suggestions? XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 01:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

I think everything checks out now. GA! -- Zanimum (talk) 01:30, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
