Hi all, I will be reviewing this article against the GA criteria. --Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 09:14, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Well here goes the review,


 * Lead ✅


 * 1) of the album -> comma after album
 * 2) critical appreciation -> remove critical, the word critic is there afterwards
 * 3) breaking many chart records -> either specify or remove
 * 4) MErge the leftover third para with this one. Single lines don't constitute separate paras.


 * Background ✅
 * 1) comma after Max Martin and Stockholm
 * 2) comma after lead single and Singles Collection


 * Composition ✅
 * 1) with classical Max Martin synths --> doesnot make sense, classical Max Martin?
 * 2) from C4 to C5 --> no sense to the non-adapt user, try something like high-tome of C4 to the lower register of C5
 * 3) Ref 7 to Musicnotes.com --> remove the url from the citation as per discussion at WP:RSN. Do it something like that in "Bad Romance" or "Telephone".
 * 4) four-on-the-floor --> remove redirect and explain what it is in short.
 * 5) song's lyrics are about --> is about
 * 6) compared to the songs in Prince’s Dirty Mind --> Exemplify, compared to the songs in Prince’s 1980 studio album Dirty Mind.
 * 7) playground chant --> wikify


 * Critical reception ✅
 * 1) Remove Digital Spy
 * 2) and racy lyrics and compared --> two consecutive "and" --> and racy lyrics, while comparing it
 * 3) compared to Madonna’s "Celebration", --> give the year after the song name
 * 4) Lamb would later name it --> Lamb later named it


 * Chart performance ✅
 * 1) number one single --> number-one single
 * 2) of a song ever reaching number one in the chart --> for a song reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100
 * 3) by the ARIA with --> make ARIA in full-form
 * 4) remarkable --> fails WP:PEACOCK


 * Music Video ✅
 * 1) a sneak peak of the video in images was released --> not sure what it means, rephrase
 * 2) A countdown including images and video previews was --> A countdown, including images and video previews, was
 * 3) at a vanity --> ???
 * 4) in a white background --> in front of a white
 * 5) and glasses while surrounded --> comma after glasses


 * TRacklisting ✅
 * 1) Wrong format basically. It should be like "3" (Instrumental) – 3.33. Please correct them all.
 * 2) Remove unreliable source like Amazon and Discogs.


 * Credits ✅
 * 1) – between names and profession


 * Charts ✅
 * 1) Remove the certification table, a single one is unnecessary. Add back when the single has been certified in more than two nations, and that too in the format in FA's like "4 Minutes".


 * Release history ✅
 * 1) Remove Amazon links


 * References ✅
 * 1) Remove italicization of online sources and chart names
 * 2) Czech Airplay chart is published by IFPI so you can link them in ref 45.


 * External links ✅
 * 1) Both of them fail as per WP:SPAM. Those links donot contribute anything related to the song. Either add such link or remove the section altogether. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 08:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Just a partial review. Will update the rest tomorrow. --Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 11:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I adressed all the concerns. I replaced the external links for the music video in MTV. I also deleted the Digital Spy link from the critical reception section, but left it in the composition section since it describes many elements of the song. Xwomanizerx (talk) 15:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * There are a few unformatted references in the article. The dutchcharts, lescharts, swisscharts, spanishcharts, all should have the proper work parameter and should credit Hung Medien as the publisher. We're almost there. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 10:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Xwomanizerx (talk) 15:09, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks fine. I'm passing the article. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 09:49, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
