I will take on another article for you now; this one hasn't been lying around for as long so I'm saving it from that! --K. Peake 08:38, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• "Adele wrote the song with its producer" → "Adele wrote the song alongside the producer"
• Mention that the release was to US contemporary hit radio stations
• ""Oh My God" has lyrics about" → "it has lyrics about"
• The reviews should be listed as generally positive instead, per one being negative
• "and identified commercial potential in it." → "and identified the commercial potential."
• Wikilink music video
• "She performed "Oh My God" during" → "She performed the song during"

Background and release

• "in almost ten years," → "in almost 10 years," per MOS:NUM
• Wikilink blind dates
• "explain to her son" → "explain to him"
• Wikilink "Water Under the Bridge" to itself
• "into the dating pool but" → "into the dating pool, but"
• [8] should be at the end of both sentences since they use direct quotes
• "oh my God'"." → "oh my God.'"" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences
• "on 15 October 2021." → "on 14 October 2021."
• Pipe adult contemporary radio to Adult contemporary music

Composition

• Retitle to Composition and lyrics
• "engineered it at" → "engineered the song at"
• "Randy Merrill mastered it at" → "Randy Merrill handled mastering at"
• ""Oh My God" is a" → "Musically, "Oh My God" is a"
• "Its instrumentation incorporates" → "The instrumentation incorporates"
• Remove the plural for Afrobeat per the source
• [26] should be invoked at the end of both sentences using direct quotes
• "background vocals which Mikael Wood" → "background vocals, which Mikael Wood"
• "with a fresh person," → "with a new person,"
• "to begin flirting just yet." → "to begin flirting already."

Critical reception

• "received positive reviews from music critics, who praised" → "was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who mostly praised"
• "Bobby Olivier called it" → "Bobby Olivier called the song"
• "Writing for The Guardian, Kitty Empire found" → "For The Guardian, Kitty Empire found"
• Remove "on it" at the end of the sentence since this is implied
• Remove the "Can I Get It" mention, as that is only one of these reviews so only mention the song in the review's sentence
• Remove "to it" per earlier

Commercial performance

• Decapitalise gold and mention the date of the certification in the United Kingdom
• Ditto for the platinum one but write the US per MOS:US
• Decapitalise platinum and mention the date of the Australian certification (country is already here though)

• No date is available for the Australian certification; it seems they certify everything in bulk at the end of the year.

• Ditto for New Zealand
• I'm confused about the grammar for the grouped chart positions; should it always be commas after the first one without any usage of "in" or should the last of each position use "and"?
• "earned a Gold certification" → "further earned gold certifications"

• Cert decapitalisations not done for same reasons as our discussions on prior GANs, since this is a matter of stylistic choice.

Music video

• Mention that Sam Brown previously directed the visual for "Rolling in the Deep" per the source
• The shooting date is not sourced

• The date of shooting is sourced as being the same as "Easy on Me"'s release date from the NME source directly after the sentence.

• "and it premiered on" → "and the video premiered on"

References

• Add url-access limited to refs 4, 25 and 73
• Cite Audacy as publisher instead on ref 8 and pipe to Audacy, Inc.

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; that went to my expectations! --K. Peake 09:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

• It's great to see you're on fire again, K. Peake! It is especially appreciated after some nominations sat out for months. All addressed!--NØ 10:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

• MaranoFan No problem, had to step in for my duty after so many reviewers stopped! For the Australian certification, mention the year, also add url-access limited to the last Rolling Stone ref (72) and write US before the radio stations in the lead. --K. Peake 12:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

• @Kyle Peake: Done with the others but the Rolling Stone ref already has url-access limited in its code but isn't displaying it in the preview for some reason. If you're able to fix this, go ahead, or I guess we'll just have to ignore it.--NØ 12:23, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

• MaranoFan ✓ Pass now, I have fixed the formatting for you! --K. Peake 12:47, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
