• Grabbing for a review. Aoba47 (talk) 02:02, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• I do not believe that the references in the infobox are necessary as that is information that should already be present and cited within the body of the article itself.
• The same comment above applies for the references in the lead.
• For this part (Racine Carrée which was produced by the lead artist, Thomas Azier and Aron Ottingnon.), I would add a comma after “Carrée” and before “which”.
• Please add the year in which Racine Carrée was released.
• For this part (is a re-recorded version of “Merci”), I am not necessarily sure if “re-recorded version” is the right phrase. I understand that the song expands on the instrumental track through the addition of vocals, but something about “re-recording” sounds off here. I would just say that the song uses the instrumental from “Merci” to avoid this.
• For this part (and charted at the top spot in several of the singer's native charts.), I would say Stromae rather than “the singer” as it took me a second to realize which person you are talking about (since there are a number of artists on this song).

Background and composition

• I have received this note in the past about non-free media use, specifically the use of audio samples. Since the usage of non-free media is encouraged to be as minimal as possible, it is generally required that the caption for the audio sample really emphasizes how it adds to the reader’s knowledge of the song outside of the prose (i.e. usually it helps to point out something about the overall sound or composition for instance). I would beef up the caption for the audio caption, as it seems more decorative than informative if that makes sense.
• Certain parameters of the “Media data and Non-free use rationale” need to be filled out (i.e. the spots that say “n.a.”).
• Please link Stromae and Lorde on the first instances in which you mention them.
• Make sure that Racine Carrée is presented in italics.
• Add the year in which the album was released.
• Would the Time source be enough to say that the song is also dance?
• There are two issues with this part (Although the song was from his album Merci, Lorde). First, the beginning phrase is connected with “Lorde” to mean that Merci is Lorde’s album, which is obviously not the case. The beginning phrase will have to changed to avoid this. Second, I thought that “Merci” was the song title and Racine Carrée was the album.
• Unless you are using a full quote, then punctuation should be on the outside of the quotation marks for smaller quotes. I would look through all of the article for this.
• Please link Billboard

Critical reception

• While this is not required for this review, I would suggest splitting this section up into two smaller paragraphs each centered around a different topic of criticism to avoid just having a block of text. Again, not required for this review, but just a heads-up if you ever wanted to take this article further or do more work on it.

Charts

• I think that you will also need to present this information in prose somewhere in the article as well.

Reference

• Make sure that all of the work/publisher parameters are linked in the citations.
