Infobox

Lead

• martial beats → "martial beats"

Background

• Natalia Kills picture shouldn't disrupt the following section.
  • Does not matter if its in right alignment, anyways I added the {{clear}} template.
• revolutionoflove"." → #revolutionoflove".
• funny." → same as previous
• and co-produced three of the songs on the record, including "Holy Water". → and ended up by co-producing three songs on the record, including "Holy Water".
• However, → A week later,
• including the demo version of "Holy Water" → among those it was "Holy Water"
  • There is something wrong with the suggestion above. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 15:17, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I meant "them". You already corrected, great work.  Done

Composition and lyrical interpretation

• martial beats → "martial beats"
• her own song "Vogue" during the song's bridge → her own song "Vogue" during the track's bridge
• rank sexuality." → rank sexuality".
• and genuflect." → same as previous
• "Yeezus loves my pussy best." → same as previous
• own sexuality." → same as previous
• spiritual imagery." → same as previous

 Done

Critical reception

• Link music critics
• In the first paragraph I see a pattern is always "some author OF some magazine", use variations, like "Time Out's Nick Levine", "The Daily Telegraph reviewer Andy Gill", "Saeed Saeed, while reviewing Rebel Heart, for the newspaper The National" so on...
• Once again, the issue with the quotes and the full stop. Please correct them all.
  • This has been corrected all. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 15:17, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
• "a welcome bit of percolating electronica, and she deserves props for effortlessly deploying the word 'genuflect' in a pop song, but Madonna's Catholic baiting feels like a reflex at this point. Despite her well-documented reputation, you could count her sexually provocative songs on one hand up to this point, so the fact that she nearly doubles that number here in one fell swoop suggests she's either consciously taking the piss out of her Dita Parlo persona or making some kind of comment about women of a certain age unapologetically flexing their libidos" → you should reduce the length of this reviews and use your own words in between.
• No reviews of the song as a track only?

Live performance

• "Holy Water"...as part of the first segment. → source?
  • source. describes what's happening in the opening segment
• priests." → same as previous
  • source and its present
• the cross." → as previous
  • Again done.
• his Apostles." → find the issue here
• You have these type of issues in the all section. Please correct them all.
  • I don't see any other issue. Please note I did not create this article. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 15:17, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

What I meant is that this issue "priest." happens all the time in the entire article → "priest".

Oh thank you, my eyes must have been playing me because I thought I changed it already? Sorry. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 09:39, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

• 'Holy Water' → "Holy Water"

I changed the ones missing.  Done

Overall GA review

• @MarioSoulTruthFan: all addressed. So please see and let me know if I missed. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 15:17, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

    • @MarioSoulTruthFan: is there anything pending with the article? —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 09:31, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
      • @IndianBio: check the "Critical reception" and the "lead"
        • @MarioSoulTruthFan: Hi I have addressed both of them, and you were right that sentence was unnecessarily long and windy. As for track reviews, The Quietus and The National already has a track review and its included. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 10:29, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
• @IndianBio: fantastic work. Passing.
