• "In September 2020, Swift, Antonoff, and Dessner assembled at Long Pond Studio in upstate New York to film Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, a documentary consisting of stripped-down renditions of tracks from Folklore and recounting the creative process behind the album" → I think most of this isn't stated in the Decider source. You can use this source or any other source you'd like
• Rolling Stone Top 100 can be linked directly like this, instead of Rolling Stone Top 100
• "leading up to the release of her album Reputation" → "leading up to the release of her album Reputation (2017)"
• "Reviewers of Insider" → Shouldn't Insider be linked to Business Insider instead of Insider Inc.?
• "hybridizing the textures of 1989 (2014) and Folklore" → Folklore is overlinked
• "Steffanee Wang of Nylon ..." → "Steffanee Wang of Nylon ..."
• Is there any way to paraphrase Nylon's review? I think the quotations are overly lengthy, they are also causing violation detected via Earwig
• Vulture's (74 ranking) and Rolling Stone's (142 ranking) of Swift's entire catalog can be added, with changing all of their citations dates to the newest possible dates, of course
• I think ref 21 is dead?
• Ref 2, 6, 7, 19, 20, and 21; not archived
• Ref 27; subscription access
• Ref 35; limited access
• Ref 34; publication can be linked

Everything else looks fine! Since this is one of Swift's best songs to date (in my opinion), I would be more than happy to pass once the issues are addressed or discussed! @Ippantekina:  On hold for now. Medxvo (talk) 20:58, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

@Medxvo: thanks for the review. I've addressed everything - I rewrote the whole "Critical reception" section as well. For me, this song is okay-ish sonically, but I really resonate with the lyrical content. Definitely in the higher rankings of Swift's entire catalog for me (not the absolute best though lol). Let me know if anything remains unresolved! Ippantekina (talk) 09:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Ippantekina: thanks for the quick response! Only one thing left–the source regarding Folklore's documentary details, it still doesn't mention several things, including the "September 2020" date and the studio's location "upstate New York" (it does mention Hudson Valley, though), you can add the ABC News source that I suggested above since it mentions the details stated in the article (or you can add any other source you'd like). I love this song for showcasing Swift's songwriting abilities; the lyrics are also very personal and beautiful. Anyhow, I would be glad to pass once the issue regarding the source is solved :) Have a good day! Medxvo (talk) 09:50, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Done! Thanks for the ref :) Ippantekina (talk) 12:30, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Glad to help :) I will ✓ Pass the article now. @Ippantekina: Congratulations! Also, if you have time, please consider reviewing Taylor Swift Productions, I would like to know your thoughts :) Have a good day again! Medxvo (talk) 12:55, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
