Grabbing this like we agreed on. Will get to it this weekend :-) – zmbro (talk) 23:18, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Infobox and lead
edit- Do we have recording dates or genres available?
- Not that I could find, sadly; the closest thing to a genre was the "anthemic" classification, which obviously can't go in the infobox. --K. Peake 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Damn that's a huge shame. But yeah you're right. – zmbro (talk) 18:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Since Cudi is one half of the duo you really don't need to use "Kid" for every use, at least imo
- In the context of the duo's article or the album one you would be right, but for song articles I don't think this is correct since it's only his stage name and this has not come up in any of the other reviews. --K. Peake 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Rest looks good for now
Background and recording
edit- "at the time he first met Kid Cudi in 2007," → "at the time when he first met Kid Cudi in 2007,"
- "West did not contribute to the production of" → "West did not contribute any production to"
- Done for the above --K. Peake 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Could you add a photo of Cudi and West here?
- Is this really needed, as three pieces of media are already used to illustrate the article? --K. Peake 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah I that makes sense. – zmbro (talk) 18:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Composition and lyrics
edit- No explicit genres present?
- Unfortunately not, per my earlier comment. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- "Kid Cudi's single "Pursuit of Happiness" (2009)" → "Cudi's 2009 single "Pursuit of Happiness"
- Partly done did not change to Cudi per earlier comment --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- "delivers the first verse of the song." → "delivers the first verse."
- Not done the most recent time "the song" has been written by this point is the Financial Times sentence --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Release and promotion
edit- Link Pete Davidson
- "with her cover altering the original's composition somewhat." Kinda vague and non-encyclopedic. I'd be more specific without making the caption too long, or just remove this entirely.
Critical reception
edit- " with them often praising the lyrical content." → " with many praising the lyrical content."
- " in his opinion" – remove this. Having reviews like this are always implied to be their opinions so stating it is redundant.
- Done for the above --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Link GQ?
- Not done I have already wikilinked it earlier in the article --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- What's The Line of Best Fit and is it an RS? Never heard of it
- It is an online magazine, whose reviews are frequently cited by Metacritic and AnyDecentMusic?, so I do not see any lack of reliability. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Link Billboard?
- Not done per earlier comment --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- After reading RS's review, I'm surprised I didn't see more people call it repetitive. I always thought towards the end it got repetitive so it's good to know someone else saw it this way as well.
- Very interesting to hear your thoughts; I love the song but do feel it goes on for ages! --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Accolades section looks good
Commercial performance
edit- "debuted at number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[59] By doing so, it stood as the highest"; too many words, try "debuted at number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100,[59] making it the highest"
- Done and changed Hot 100 to "the chart" --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Rest looks good
Credits and personnel
edit- Move the "credits adapted" part to the top.
- Not done when recording locations are backed up by other sources at the top, the liner notes should be cited lower down
- Shouldn't West & Cudi have "vocals" next to their names?
- Not done liner notes do not mention this and it is already sourced as a song by the duo --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Charts
edit- Looks good
Certifications
edit- Looks good
References
edit- Would ref 10 be an RS?
- Yes; take a look at WP:RSPYT. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Is ref 11 reliable?
- Yes, read the about page to get an understanding of why. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Is ref 29 reliable?
- This is an online magazine that is used for reviews compiled by Metacritic and AnyDecentMusic?, so I do not see any evidence it is not reliable. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Is ref 43 reliable? (I'm not trying to be annoying, I just genuinely haven't heard of many of these pubs)
- It is an American media platform that includes coverage of covers concerts and festivals, which seems totally reliable. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Final thoughts
edit- This one might be your best written article I've reviewed yet. Also, personal thanks for bringing this one up to standard. When KSG came out, I started many of its song articles, including this one. After seeing you bring "4th Dimension" and "Cudi Montage" (both of which I also started) up to standard, I always wondered if you'd ever get around to this one. Also, hard to believe your first edit on this song was this. Should be passed in no time :-) – zmbro (talk) 17:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Zmbro Thank you for your comments, I am amazed with how far I've come and I actually do plan on bringing the album to a GT soon, as only "Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)" is left to become a GA. I will address the concerns shortly, but it appears you have forgotten to place this onhold for now. --K. Peake 18:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Whoops my bad. – zmbro (talk) 18:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Zmbro It is fine, I have responded to everything above! Also, I would recommend using the articlehistory template like I do for GAs. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Sweet this looks like a ✓ Pass to me. Yeah I feel like I should use a template but I keep getting lazy lol. Maybe next time :-) – zmbro (talk) 19:37, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Zmbro I will update it for you, sweet that I've easily passed 200 reviews by now isn't it? --K. Peake 19:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah it really is cool man. Keep up the great work. – zmbro (talk) 19:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
