Hi @DarklyShadows: I had a quick glance and have some initial suggestions. This article is lacking in coverage for such a popular song so widely covered in the media. This is a concern and you need to do more research and expand on key details such as music structure, instrumentation. It's sales and chart performance. The music video also received a lot of attention in the media and the section is a little bare. In the critical reception, please replace Insider and Teen Vogue with reviews from reputable music critics. I found these for you to use just from a quick skim on Google: Pitchfork, Los Angeles Times, Clash, DIY, NME. Please also remove bubblegum pop and The Harvard Crimson is a student newspaper, not a reliable source. There are too many, too long and unnecessary quotes everywhere, you will need to put in some effort and try paraphrase where possible. Articles are to be made up more of prose than quotations, not vice versa. It's too the point that this isn't an encyclopedia article but a WP:QUOTEFARM. Once you have addressed these initial concerns, I will do a full review. Feel free to let me know when you're ready. CoolMarc 23:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

I had already done a review around five days ago, as this was not even next to the quality it should have for a GA. The user added nothing (most of those sources were on my quick research) and didn't worked on a single thing. This is a quick-fail. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:29, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@MarioSoulTruthFan: How is this a quickfail!?! I added all the sections you told me to add and improved the sections that were lacking information. I added way more sources that I found on my own. And besides, you're not the one reviewing it. DarklyShadows (talk)

@Cartoon network freak: @HeyitsBen: I would like to get your opinions on the matter.

Now its not a quick fail, when you added for GA nomination the second time, it still was. The vast majority of the improvements should be made before the nomination, not after. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:34, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@DarklyShadows: please learn to use 4 tidles (the "~" sign) when you leave a message. I can see you have been expanding the article which I'm happy about, and I also see you as being an asset to music articles - it is sadly seldom that we get editors who do the work to expand an article, so for that I salute you. There is a lot of work to do for it to pass GA criteria and seeing you are a new editor, I assume you don't have that much knowledge of WP:MOS. However, I actually really like this song and I'm willing to help you on this in my review. Hopefully this will help you and in future you will not rush nominate song articles that are unprepared for GA. You will not get an article to GA by constantly nominating it until someone finally passes it. Please also look at my comments I left on my review I did for you at Goodbye (Billie Eilish song) - a lot of the issues I mentioned there are here as well. It also helps looking at other GA and FA (Style (Taylor Swift song), Don't Start Now for example) articles to get a feel of what standard is expected. It doesn't look like you're done yet, so when you feel the article is ready for me to review, let me know and I'll be happy to help you out on this one. CoolMarc 19:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much @Coolmarc: and I'm sorry I have wasted your time on these stupid nominations. I no longer have the time to work on these articles because I'm a high school student and have too much homework to do. I will also remove the GA nomination on the article because I don't want you and everybody else wasting their time on this article. I love this song and wanted it to be GA, but by the looks of it... It's not... I hope you have a good day. DarklyShadows (talk)

@DarkShadows: If you don't want me to finish the review, then I will go ahead and fail. Please confirm? CoolMarc 21:43, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Coolmarc: I want to see what exactly needs to be improved? DarklyShadows (talk)

@DarklyShadows: I don't see the point in doing that if you claim above you will not have time to address them, that will be wasting my time. CoolMarc 22:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Coolmarc: Tell me and I will try to fix all the issue when I finish all my other work. DarklyShadows (talk)

I see you have gone ahead and failed your own article... So that's that on that. This is not GA procedures, you should contact me the reviewer to do that. CoolMarc 22:33, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Coolmarc: Even with all the work put into it, it probably would have failed anyway . DarklyShadows (talk)
