Infobox

• No issues

Lead

• unlink studio album per Wikipedia:OVERLINK
• The dance-pop song, speaks about a girl ... ---> Lyrically, the dance-pop song, is about a girl ...
• A remix created by producer Rodney Jerkins was released in the United States and Canada instead of the original version of the song in April 1, 2002. ---> Not real need for instead of the original version of the song, the song was already released, and later it was re-released, like the "S&M (Remix)". You can put the name of the remix.
• with several noticing the song as way for Spears to "break free" ---> Remove it.
• It was commercially successful ... ---> The song was commercial success ...
• By me, the whole paragraph is a little too messy. Peaking inside should be exchanged with only peaked. About the remix of the song, did the song charted in the original version at the first time in US and CAN? By me, yes, so there is no need about where "The Darkchild Remix" was released... Also the certifications should be removed from the lead and implement in the Chart Performance. I suggest total re-writing.
• while singing about being overprotected ---> No need for that, remove it.
• The music video the remix version, directed by Chris Applebaum, shows the singer dancing and having fun with friends. ---> The music video for the remix version of the song was directed by American directed Chris Applebaum and portrays Britney dancing and having fun with her friends.
• During the performance, Spears was dancing to the song surrounded by laser lights, while a video backdrop showed images of a bald Spears, with her hair growing as the song went along. ---> The performance featured Spears dancing surrounded by laser lights while images of Spears bald were shown on the screens. No need for the hair thing.
• on 2001's Dream Within a Dream Tour ---> on her 2001's Dream Within a Dream Tour
• on 2004's The Onyx Hotel Tour ---> on her 2004's The Onyx Hotel Tour

Good job ;) !

Background and composition

• Since the Background section is small, link the The Darkchild Remix in it.

 Not done I've merged the composition to the background and expanded the remixes section. Take a look. :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 20:06, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

• [...] , while additional recording was done on June 2001 at Battery Studios in New York City, New York. ---> Start new sentence: Additional recording was done on June 2001 at Battery Studios in New York City, New York.

• The song's lyrics speaks about a girl ---> Lyrically, the song is about a girl (the same as in the lead)
• Music critics also noticed europop influences on the song. ---> Europop should be put in songs genres.

Remixes

• however, the song was only released on April 1, 2002 ---> Why only? Remove it ....

• Now, about those two audio files. First, The Darkchild remix audio should be removed cause it fails Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, and about the second, change the caption in "A 19-second sample of the song which lyrics reference to an overprotection and manipulation imposed to the main persona, that actually referring to Spears' career"

Critical Reception

He later commented that both "Cinderella" and the song are "top-dollar variations on the hits off her first two albums", while concluding about the lyrics that "ring absurd coming from someone who was grooming herself for multimedia stardom even before she auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club.

SOURCE?!

Credits and personnel

Do it by the example of "Rehab" ...

Charts

• Remove the [A] note, and maybe just write as it is here, it breaks the chart ...
• The certification reference for France and Sweden put at the country name ....
• Also put the certification categories in the end of the article

References

• reflist|2 ---> changed it with Reflist|colwidth=30em (use big { brackets of course)
• Actually the publisher for MTV is Viacom.

I disagree here. MTV Networks is best. Jivesh • Talk2Me 19:04, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

• Don't use overlinking at the references. Only link at first time.
• Mmmm Publisher for Amazon, Staples, Inc., not sure check it again
• Reference number 16, wrong publisher
• Reference number 3, split work and publisher ---> work=Ultratop 50 ; publisher=Hung Medien ... same with the similar references
• Reference number 25, MTV is always Cite web, not cite news
• Reference number 46, work=ARIA Charts, publisher= Australian Recording Industry Association
• Reformat 47 and 48 ... look awful
• author and work? decide... I would go by work, you should be consistent in the references, definitely
• Certification references also look akward, visit some FL discography and change them
• Note, when it comes to the reference work, if the work is published edition (newspaper, magazine) it should be italicized, and that would go automatically, however if the work is online edition than it should be normal text that you done it by italicizing the work [for example work=USA Today (in the reference will go work=USA Today), however when you put work=Slant Magazine, you should make it work=Slant Magazine, so in the reference will be shown like work=Slant Magazine] ... I hope you understood me :)

Do you know what is normally italicized and what is not? Let me explain. If you want to know whether Entertainment Weekly is italicized, go to its page on Wikipedia and see how the title is written, that is, whether it is in Italics or not. If yes, the reference formatting should be

• |work=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |publisher=[[Time Inc.]]

If no, then the reference formatting should be done as follows

• |publisher=[[Entertainment Weekly]]. [[Time Inc.]]

Please my friend, be frank. If you did not understand, tell me without hesitating. We just want to help you. Feel free to ask again if need be. Please. No one will make fun of you. We all arrived to this stage through the teachings of someone else. Jivesh • Talk2Me 19:13, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Actually everybody has it's formula. This is what I learnt from Nathan. But it can also be used your case. Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 23:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I was actually talking to the nominator. I am sorry if i offended you. It was not intentional. Jivesh • Talk2Me 02:46, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

No, it' cool. :) Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 09:12, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Great i love your cool attitude. Always remain like this. Jivesh • Talk2Me 09:17, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I am always nice and cool with good people like you Jivesh :)! Btw I know it is not the place, but I hope you are continuing with "Rehab" today. Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 09:18, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes at night. Right now, i have to go to buy some gifts for my cousin. I will go to his place today. But when i return, i will do it. Jivesh • Talk2Me 09:33, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Concerning the references, you better format them the same way i do because the day a bot will run through the article, he will remove all the '''' from the work parameters. I have already experienced that and i prefer not to tell you how it was to format more than 1000 references on all Beyonce's articles. Jivesh • Talk2Me 10:47, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Really?! I didn't have idea that that was actually happening. Well than definitely I will use your advice. Thank You :) ! Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 10:49, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

You are welcome (as always). Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:01, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Changed the VEVO one, with YouTube, not all countries have Vevo.

Conclusion

All in all the article has a lot of issues. I mentioned them, and I will give you one week to address them. I'm not home from tomorrow until Wednesday, so you don't have to hurry up, take your time and do them. Personally, I think that the references deserve attention a LOT ! Re-work them. If everything's alright I will pass the article. :) ! Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 00:34, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry it's taking me so long to continue the GAR, I'm very busy lately at school and also at Wikipedia. I'll continue this as soon as possible. :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Take your time :) ! Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 10:00, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

There is no need to withdraw the nomination my friend. Take your time and fix all these issues. Some nominators even take more than one month. So why can't you? Talk to Tommy, he is nice and i assure you that he will give you more time. If you need help, i will be very happy to help you. Let me know. Jivesh • Talk2Me 19:06, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, he can take his time. It's on him definitely. I will let him how much he want ! :) Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 23:33, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry, but I am failing this. :/ It's nominators will. Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 14:14, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
