Infobox

• No source in article to support where and when the song was recorded

Lead

• ...the song has so far peaked at... – This wording may not be relevant as time goes on

   Done Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!

Background, release and composition

Critical reception

• Recommendation: I would put composition into critical reception, OR put the audio sample in the above section

   Done Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!

• No other issues

Chart performance

• ...charted in other countires... – Fix spelling

   Done Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!

Music video

• ...who worked with Rihanna for most of her music videos. – Give some examples of other videos he worked with Rihanna on, so this information is verifiable

   Done Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!

• ...Rihanna for "cold, calculated execution of murder" in the video... – Add period at end

   Not done What is a period in British English? Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon!

It ends a sentence. Right now, it shows "criticized Rihanna for "cold, calculated execution of murder" in the video, The council disagreed...". There should be a period (.) at the end of "video" because "The council disagreed" is a seperate sentence. - Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 17:03, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Overall review

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put this article on hold at this time. There are a few minor issues above which are affecting the prose quality of the article. Other than that, the only major problem I see is the formatting of sources in the "References" section. I will give you the general seven days to address these issues and/or debate the issues you believe do not affect GA status until a consensus on all issues is reached. When you have addressed an issue, please use the {{done}} template to indicate which issues you have fixed. If you need help or have any questions, please feel free to ask. - Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 18:50, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Okay thanks, I will do this later today. It's 2:50am!Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 01:49, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Everything is done now. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 17:29, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Since all issues have been addressed, I feel confident passing this article. I would recommend using the {{Singlechart}} template to help organize the international chart positions. For a resource, see: Template:Singlechart#Support. Congratulations and keep up the good work! - Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 17:46, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I will do yours tomorrow, I promise! Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 18:09, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
