I am beginning the review below. (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 05:11, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • "It was released as the sixth single from the album worldwide, as well as the seventh overall.[1]" Alright we have two issues. 1) The sentence somewhat contradicts itself. Where is it the seventh single? 2) No references should be included in the lead, please move/remove it.  Done
  • Can you please add an audio sample to the composition section.  Done
  • "Glitter in the Air" was delivered digitally to radio as a new single by her record label, minutes after her performance at the Grammy Awards. [?] Needs a reference.  Done
  • Image Is 350x350. Images should not exceed 300x300. Needs to be re-uploaded.  Done

This is what i have noticed first off, once these issues are addressed i will go through the article in more detail. Please do not place responses here as it tends to make the review page extremely long. Instead could you please post any concerns, questions or comments on my talk page under a new section. (If ever needed i archive all discussions.) =) (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 05:11, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, i only have one other issue which i will put below. Ive reread the article and i cant find anything else outstanding, once this is corrected please message me and i will pass the article if i fail to find any other issues :) (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 19:23, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The song re-entered the Hot 100 on the issue of June 19, 2010, at #92 and jumped to #85 the following week". Numbers less than 100 should be written not typed. (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 19:23, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, our MOS says that numbers less the ten should be written, and those over ten should be typed.—Kww(talk) 20:29, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Our MOS? who is our?. And im reading WP:ORDINAL right now and it says it can be either, i prefer written out for consistency in the article. There is nothing in the reading that says it cant/be avoided/or shouldnt be written. (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 21:05, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"Our" as in you, me, and everyone else editing Wikipedia. That said, I see that you have a point: Comparable quantities should be all spelled out or all figures: we may write either 5 cats and 32 dogs or five cats and thirty-two dogs, not five cats and 32 dogs. would imply that a song can't hit one on the Billboard Hot 100, but 53 on the Australian chart. I would prefer to go numeric all the way for consistency, and use numerals for 1-9 instead of writing out chart positions.—Kww(talk) 21:14, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes i saw that guideline as well, i find that somewhat contradictory since the opening states "single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine are spelled out in words". I know it says there are exceptions to the rules but maybe it shouldnt be included in the opeding... i dont know, doesnt matter too much. But it should be changed to either or. Not being rude but if you could locate an FA or GA that is well written that uses all numbesr written as eg:76 then i would not enforce it in this article since it could be either or.
