I will conduct a full review of the article on Wednesday. Statυs (talk) 02:12, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics and was praised by some for its highly dark subject matter and Ocean's singing talent. --> The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised Ocean's vocals and the song's dark subject matter.

Changed.

When Nostalgia, Ultra was expected to be released as an EP by Def Jam, "Swim Good" was released as the second single, though the EP release was later cancelled. --> This really has no relevance to the article, especially since the first sentence simply states: released as the second single from his mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra (2011).

Removed.

#70 - number 70

Doe.

Should specify that Billboard is a U.S. chart. Not everybody knows this. Billboard should also be linked.

Done.

The song received a music video directed by Australian director Nabil Elderkin released on September 16. --> Very awkwardly worded. I don't think the date the video was released in particularly relevant, considering the release date of the single itself wasn't even mentioned.

Date removed.

Ocean performed the track during his seven show tour through North America and Europe. --> When?

Added.

Background[edit]

I made the adjustments here myself, as I didn't find them to be anything major.

Thank you!

Content[edit]

Lyrical content or Composition would be a much more appropriate title.

Suggestion applied.

Sample is too long. According to its length, it should be around 25 seconds.

New sample added.

Music video[edit]

How about merging this with live performances and just call it promotion? The sections are rather small. This is just a suggestion.

Merged.

Chart performance[edit]

This little sentence could be just included in reception, as there is critical reception and public reception (which would be a song charting). This, too, is just a suggestion.

Done.

References[edit]

I am seeing some reference issues.
Ref 4 & 13 - work is iTunes Store, publisher is Apple Inc.
Ref 12 & 15 are the same.
Ref 18 - Pitchfork Media is italicized, when it should not be. Publisher for all Pitchfork Media refs is Ryan Schreiber.
Ref 19 - work is Billboard, publisher is Prometheus Global Media.
Ref 20 - work is Ultratip, publisher is Hung Medien / hitparade.ch.

All corrected I believe.

Verdict[edit]

Everything looks good to me. Great work! Passing the article. Statυs (talk) 19:23, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Switchfoot cover[edit]

Where should this be listed? One of the current sections? A new section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rossidor (talk • contribs) 22:52, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
