Talk:Hot to Go!

College students are not music critics

College students are not professional music critics. They are college kids trying to get extra credit by writing for their student newspapers. I don't see why these opinions are any better than any random Internet blogger's opinion—some editors suggest that we should include them because they (usually) have editors checking their work. So? They're not music publications and not music critics. I have removed the paragraph of college kids weighing in on the song, and if reinstated, I am making it clear I will actively oppose the article becoming a GA with their irrelevant opinions included.

To be clear: I'm concerned about the use of college newspapers as sources on the rest of the article too but less so than including their opinions. Ss112 05:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

@Ss112: Fair enough. I was debating on whether or not if I should have even included them when I opted to take this on. I said yes initially because I felt initially they held some sort of value; but I do realize now that don't help too much. As for the others: I'll try to find something else if I can. Cheers, mate!

Hello, I'll take a crack at reviewing this one; this is my first time doing a GA review so please bear with me, thanks! Elephantranges (talk) 22:37, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

@Elephantranges: Hey! Thank you for taking this one on. Greatly appreciated. And don't worry- feel free to take as much time as you need. Cheers, mate! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 22:50, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

So far in terms of the basics (no edit warring, no bias, grammar is fine, etc.) it looks good, I'll take a closer look tomorrow to examine the references and such.

One addition I would suggest would be a dedicated section covering the commercial performance of the song. This would be especially useful in the case of this song, as you could more thoroughly explain its status as a sleeper hit and its progress regarding chart positions, streaming numbers, etc. Elephantranges (talk) 00:43, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

@Elephantranges:  Done. Let me know if you need anything else added. Cheers, mate! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 23:36, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Looks good! I've cleared it for number 3 as I think you've got all the major aspects covered, and it doesn't seem like it goes off-topic at any points. Elephantranges (talk) 17:27, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

@Elephantranges: Hey! You think you could wrap up the review today? Would be great if you can. Thank you! Cheers! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 16:35, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, I've been busy and forgot. But yes I can finish right now! Elephantranges (talk) 16:41, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Spotcheck complete, no OR, everything looks good! Passing Elephantranges (talk) 17:29, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

@Elephantranges: Thank you! I think you might've not fully closed the review, however. Haven't received a notification about it yet. Cheers! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 21:38, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I believe it should be good now, I'll check back in a little bit to make sure, though. Thanks for your patience! Elephantranges (talk) 23:33, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
