I've listed this article for peer review because… I plan to take it to a featured article candidate process, however, before that, I would like to assure that the prose is polished and satisfies the high standard the encyclopedia uses for it.

  • I removed all the dead links, however, the tool must be broken as it shows the 7 digital references as dead, however, the function perfectly!
  • Done
  • My understanding is that the United States should be abbreviated "U.S." instead of "US".
  • It's a preference. I prefer to use US, instead of U.S., nothing wrong with that.
  • When you mention the Billboard component charts (ie. Hot Dance Club Songs in the introduction), I think it would be helpful to specifically identify them as Billboard component charts for the unfamiliar reader.
  • I added Billboard in front of Dance Club Songs.
  • "Reception and accolades" can be renamed "Critical reception" to follow suit with similar articles.
  • Done
  • I personally prefer the title "Commercial performance" over "Chart performance"
  • Done
  • "Other versions and covers" can be more concisely titled "Cover versions".
  • Done
  • "Radio and release history" is redundant, "Release history" alone will suffice.
  • Done
  • For consistency, I would like to see the references in "Radio and release history" placed in a separate column like they are for the Jamie Callum version.
  • I'd like to see consistency in the way iTunes Store and Apple are treated in the references, different sections of the article use different varieties.
  • On that same token, the MTV websites should be listing Viacom as its publisher.

Lead
  • "features a wide variety of rhythmic devices"..... various rhythmic devices
  • Grammy nomination is worth mentioning
  • Given its success in the UK, I'd probably add its gold certification and sales (looking at the certifications list, it's the highest sales figure given aside from US)
  • "Rihanna performed 'Don't Stop the Music' at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards and the NRJ Music Awards in 2008 and included it on the Good Girl Gone Bad, Last Girl on Earth, Loud and the Diamonds World Tour set lists" is a bit lengthy. Probably best to split awards and tours into different sentences.
  • Done all
Development and release
  • "approved the demand without prior contacting Dibango" should be either "previously contacting Dibango" or "contacting Dibango beforehand".
  • "released to digital outlets in some territories on May 14"..... give some specific names
  • Done
Composition
  • "Throughout, it features a wide variety of rhythmic devices used mainly in hip hop music" → "Various rhythmic used mainly in hip hop music are featured throughout the song".
  • Remove the comma after "Slant Magazine"
Done
Critical reception
  • Six reviews doesn't seem like very much for such a well-known Rihanna song
  • That's all I could find, there is no much mention of the song (Sadly) or other reviews of the album are dead links now
  • Is "Hot Press" a reliable source?
  • Yes it is. It's used in other FA's too.
  • Per MOS:QUOTEMARKS, ′ should be ', and ″ should be "
  • I am not sure whether I could understand you here?
  • "noted" from "He noted that 'Don't Stop the Music' is the best single" should be "felt" or "wrote" per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV
  • Beyoncé Knowles → Beyoncé
  • Done last two
Commercial performance
  • "Only" from "It became only Rihanna's second song" isn't really needed
  • Include dates for the song's sales/certifications from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
  • Done
Music video
  • It would be better to have a video screenshot than a photo of Prague
  • Do you have an idea what part of the video is worth of ascreenshot ?
  • When was the video shot?
  • No info
  • I don't think "NYU Local" is considered FA-worthy, seeing to it that this is a news blog run by college students
  • Replaced it
  • No commentary from Anthony Mandler or Rihanna herself?
  • Not that I could fine :/
  • Aside from VH1's "Sexiest Videos" ranking, there are no reviews of the video..... major problem
  • Unfortunately, I could only find that, if you have time can you please look on the Net?
Live performances
  • "major" from "her first major world tour" isn't needed
  • Removed
  • "held in Rockfeller Center, New York City" → "held at the Rockefeller Center in New York City"
  • Done
  • No commentary for any of the performances? It's not a requirement to have this for all of them, but at least things like her tours should include it.
  • Searched, no success
  • I'm not convinced "Toronto Sun" is reliable
  • Removed/Replaced it
Cover versions
  • "to which Rihanna positively reacted"..... awkward phrasing, and it would help to include a quote and/or commentary
  • That was not even in the source, I removed it
Jamie Cullum version
  • If possible, try to use something other than a YouTube link for Cullum's video release
  • I searched, no results sadly
References
  • As FA criterion 2c requires "consistently formatted inline citations", I'd remove publishers because most references in this instance don't include them
  • Only the first reference to a work should have its name linked in refs (i.e. Digital Spy should only be linked in FN18, The New York Times should only be linked in FN21)
  • Removed all the publishers
  • Done except for the chart references which are generate the references themselves.

Not a bad article overall, but needs brushing up before going for FA. Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:35, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshot looks very nice :D. Something "Rehab" has that I would search for is (at least) commentary from those involved with the video. In the "Rehab" article, there's a quote from co-star Justin Timberlake. It might take some extra research, but aim for things like that. Maybe I'll end up finding something on my own, though this is headed in the right direction either way. Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:11, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Snugi. This and this could be useful, if the sources were reliable :/. Any chances you found something? @SNUGGUMS: — Tomíca(T2ME) 11:38, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, not yet :/ Snuggums (talk / edits) 13:25, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm really skeptical about sources existing :/. Except from unreliable sites like those I pointed above. — Tomíca(T2ME) 13:32, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • You should avoid apostrophe after quotation marks (i.e. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"'s sample)
  • I am skeptical about the importance of the music video's screenshot. Either way, the file needs a more appropriate non-free rationale.

Comments from Aaron

  • It was written by Tawanna Dabney and Michael Jackson together with its producers StarGate. → I think it's a bit misleading to imply Jackson wrote it when he is only credited because of the sample. He didn't actually write "Don't Stop the Music" during the recording process, and as such had nothing to do with it apart from giving permission.
  • Are you sure StarGate is meant to have a capital G? It's not stylized as such on Stargate (production team).
  • received critical acclaim from music critics with many of them → Comma after critics
  • Link Interpolation (music) in the lead
  • Lead: First paragraph uses sample, second paragraph uses interpolation. They are two different things, so to use both is a bit confusing.
  • number four, number three, number one etc. need hyphenating throughout (number-one)
  • Try to avoid too much repetition, like in Commercial performance of "the song": The song stayed on the chart for overall period of 27 weeks. The song charted at number 12 on the 2008 year-end Australian Singles Chart and After seven weeks on the chart, the song the reached its peak of four.[43] In July 2013, the song was certified gold.
  • I don't think songwrintg and production need linking in Credits and personnel. Either to all of them or none of them.
  • won the accolade → accolade isn't appropriate in this sense. Award is better. You'd use accolade for "She has gained several accolades"
