Infobox and lead

• Pipe Clarence Coffee Jr. to The Monsters & Strangerz under songwriters
• Pipe Stephen Kozmeniuk to Koz (musician)
• WP:OVERLINK of Koz (musician) under producer(s)
• "from her second studio album" → "from her second studio album,"
• The production part is not sourced anywhere in the body
  • Vulture source used in "Music and lyrics"
• The release part should be the fourth sentence of the first para instead
• ""Love Again" is a classically-sounding" → "It is a classic-sounding" per the body sourcing this, not classical the genre
• The sample sentence should come directly after the above one
• "and personal growth. They see Lipa" → "and personal growth, seeing Lipa"
• Remove release year of "My Woman" since that being solely in the body is sufficient
• "with its strings, horn and trumpet," → "using it for the melody," to avoid too much lead detail
• ""Love Again" was sent for → "it was sent for"
• Remove "from Future Nostalgia" because you have already said the single is from the album earlier on in this sentence
• "on 4 June 2021 globally." → "on 4 June globally." to avoid overusage of the year
• "used in its production" → "used in the production"
• "Commercially, the song reached" → "Commercially, "Love Again" reached" and the Global chart position should be the last of the three
• "where it reached the summit." → "reaching the summit in the last of the territories." and any countries this charted in need to be sourced in the body
• "is certified silver in the United Kingdom and platinum in" → "has been certified silver in the United Kingdom by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and platinum in both" with the wikilink, also mention the other respective organizations
• Remove introduction to Lope Serrano, as that being in the body only is fine
• Remove overly obvious wikilink on London
• I don't think "saddle" is really an appropriate term here
• "on multiple occasions including at the" → "on multiple occasions in 2021, including at the" removing the year from any of the occasions listed because all of this sentence is 2021 performances

 Done

Writing and production

• Img looks good!
• Pipe Clarence Coffee Jr. to The Monsters & Strangerz
• Pipe Stephen Kozmeniuk to Koz (musician)
• "who had been dishonest" → "who was dishonest"
• "Lipa didn't recognize herself" → "Lipa failed to recognize herself"
• "but they hadn't written anything" → "but had not written anything"
• "to that studio" → "to the studio"
• Second studio album introduction is redundant since that has already been provided in the lead
• Wikilink riff
• Pipe drum break to Break (music), rather than the overly obvious wikilink on drum
• "positive energy into ones life" → "positive energy into one's life"
• Remove overly obvious wikilink on guitar per WP:OVERLINK
• Wikilink song structure
• "and the crediting of the song's writers that includes" → "and credit for its writers, including" on the img text, also pipe sample to Sampling (music)
• "build with a lot of drums before and string part" does not read right at all; maybe something like "built up with a lot of a drums, before working on the string part" or whatever this really means better worded
• Remove commas around Drew Jurecka
• "which she expressed her admiration for how" → "which she admired for how"
• Wikilink middle eight per MOS:LINK2SECT
• Add the release year of Star Wars in brackets, as it is the same for the movie or film no matter which is referenced
• "She described it as a visual line" → "She described the line as a visual one"
• Remove overly obvious wikilink on London
• "the ad libs last which she was nervous for thinking" → "the ad-libs last, nervously thinking" with the pipe
• "with great acoustics where" → "with strong acoustics where" to be less repetitive
• Sleep Sound should only be mentioned once in prose
• Pipe mixing to Audio mixing (recorded music)

• Remove wikilink on middle eight
• Remove wikilink on chord progression
• Remove overly obvious wikilink on violin per WP:OVERLINK

• "a new relationship, and explains" → "a new relationship and explains"

 Done

Release and promotion

• "is apart on" → "is apart of"
• Pipe percussion to Percussion instrument
• "instrumentals, and strutting beats" → "instrumentals and strutting beats"
• I'm not sure if squelchy is an appropriate term here; it is not a reception section, remember
  • Removed. LOVI33 03:44, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
• You should mention that Lipa talks about the making of the song in the episode
• "on 4 June 2021." → "on 4 June."
• "fifteen months following" → "after 15 months following" per MOS:NUM
• No name for the Italy radio service?
  • There was a consensus on this a little while ago, I can't find it right now but essentially the source for Italy radio dates doesn't have a specific format so "Radio airplay" was deemed a more accurate term. LOVI33 03:44, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
• Add the term "stations" after the names of the radio ones in the US
• "was officially sent to" → "was officially sent as a single to" to be specific
• "and the 15 October 2021-released" → "and the 15 October-released" to avoid overusage of the year

• "also named it" → "also questioned if it is"
• "pro-love song to date."" → "pro-love song to date"." per MOS:QUOTE

• "found new meanings the rodeo elements" → "found new meanings of the rodeo elements"
• Wikilink music video on the img text
• Remove wikilink on London
• "Serrano recalled that she enjoyed" → "Serrano recalled she enjoyed"

• "It premiered on" → "It premiered via" to be less repetitive
• "This version features an opening of" → "This version opens with"
• "that is lyrics of" → "which is the lyrics of" but where is it sourced that they are reading a script at the beginning?

Analysis and synopsis

• Img looks good!
• None of the first sentence is sourced; I am aware of MOS:TVPLOT but things like what title cards say still require sourcing
  • I think it is a appropriate per WP:PLOTCITE. LOVI33 04:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
• "The visual starts out with a cowboy hat floating" → "Simultaneously, a cowboy hat floats"
• "Intercut scenes of her" → "Intercut scenes of Lipa"
• Pipe LED to Light-emitting diode
• The LEDs and green top are not directly sourced
  • The Wonderland reference shows a screenshot of the outfit, which I think should be appropriate considering WP:PLOTCITE. The source says miniature light bulbs so I changed it to that. LOVI33 04:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
• [29][105] should solely be at the end of the sentence
• Wikilink slow motion
• "and hot pink cowboy boots." → "and pink cowboy boots." because hot is not encyclopaedic

• "while also making omelettes." → "as well as making omelettes."
• "camo green cargo pants," → "camouflage green cargo pants,"
• [109] is not the correct source for invisible horse appearances
  • Source: "as cowboys ride invisible animals" but added another source to back up that it is for horses. LOVI33 04:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
• "an anonymous person, with both of them wearing" → "an anonymous person; they both wear" to avoid overusage of with
• "onto her partners jacket." → "onto her partner's jacket."

  • Removed both of these. I'm pretty sure there were proper links attached to these sources before but they seem to have been removed and I cannot find a back up. Also, not the most reliable sources. LOVI33 04:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
• Pipe livestream to Livestreaming

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; this is not one of your strongest but congrats on making it so big! --K. Peake 09:11, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review Kyle Peake. Apologies for taking so long with the comments, I've been very busy this week. I hope everything looks okay now. LOVI33 18:56, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

• LOVI33 Nice response, this came less than a week after the review was completed so I wasn't sweating it! However, when I said the production part is not written out in the body I meant mentioning that Koz was the sole producer, also if the Croatia year-end position is sourced from the PDF then why not cite that instead? --K. Peake 07:27, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

• Kyle Peake I have made these changes. LOVI33 17:40, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

• ✓ Pass now, good job on fixing the problems! --K. Peake 09:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
