Infobox and lead[edit]

  • Infobox looks good!
  • "English band the 1975 originally" → "English band the 1975, originally"  Done
  • "It was written by" → "The song was written by"  Done
  • "The band produced" → "The 1975 produced"  Done
  • "the track served as" → "the song served as"  Done
  • "and is characterised by its extensive use of guitars. The track's lyrics" → "The song is characterised by its extensive use of guitars, while the lyrics" since the characterisation flows better when merged with this in a sentence  Done
  • "It has since become" → "The song has since become"  Done
  • "during a charity show" → "during a February 2019 charity show" for proper context  Done

Composition and release[edit]

  • Retitle to Background and composition; I will tell you where to move the info around  Done
  • Audio sample looks good!
  • Remove wikilink on the 1975  Done
  • The part of the second sentence from "representing the last two minutes" onwards should be moved to being part of the comp info  Done
  • "of the 1975's debut album." → "of The 1975." since you have already introduced the album as being eponymous  Done
  • The vinyl and remaster releases should be directly after the above info, plus move comp to its own para because there will be enough sentences once you have added the representation part.  Done
  • Should guitar-heavy really be in speech marks?  Done
  • "two minutes and thirteen seconds." → "2 minutes and 13 seconds." per MOS:NUM on comparative values
  • While MOS:NUM is not one of the five MoS pages that fall under GA criteria, the section on comparative values states: "Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures". Giacobbe talk 11:58, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah that is reasonable, also sorry if I was being too fussy. --K. Peake 19:47, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kyle Peake: I appreciate the thoroughness! It's like a review and copy-edit all in one shot. Giacobbe talk 20:23, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The writers/producers sentence should be the one before the lyrical content  Done
  • Remove pipe on A-side  Done
  • "since it makes" → "since the limited pressing makes"  Done
  • Pipe music streaming to Streaming media  Done
  • The remaster release date is not directly sourced  Done

Critical reception and promotion[edit]

  • "from contemporary music critics, and has gained" → "from contemporary music critics and has since gained" due to the source's date  Done
  • The Post does not really violate WP:RSSM, as this is only used for reception
  • "about cocaine", and listed it" → "about cocaine" and listed it"  Done
  • "during a charity show for" → "in the middle of a charity show for"  Done
  • "and said the audience's reaction" → "going on to say the audience's reaction"  Done

Credits and personnel[edit]

  • Should the pipes to the 1975 from the members be kept when the band itself is wikilinked in this section? If they are kept, pipe Matthew Healy to their article instead since his page has been merged and if not, remove any pipe altogether.  Done

References[edit]

  • Copyvio score looks strong at 14.5%!!!
  • Good job adding the correct URL for ref 3 by now!
