 * Infobox
 * Which is the correct image; File:Kelly Clarkson - Because of You.jpg or File:Because of You Single.PNG? If the first one is the correct image, then reduce its size to 300 × 300 pixels. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Add the place where the song was recorded in the "Recorded" part in the infobox. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Lead
 * I've copy-edited the lead but there are still a few issues.
 * "It was written by Clarkson with David Hodges and Ben Moody and produced by Hodges and Moody" a bit awkward. Don't you think that this flows better: "It was written by Clarkson, David Hodges and Ben Moody while the production was handled by Hodges and Moody"? ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "... her request was not entertained by her label." - "... her request was not accepted by her label." ✅
 * "Critically, "Because of You" garnered generally positive receptions." - "Critically, "Because of You" garnered positive reviews by most music critics who generally praised Clarkson's vocals." ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "... in the United States, the song peaked at number seven..." - "in the United States, it peaked at number seven..." (The song is already repeated in the previouse sentences.) ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

 * "It was covered by several artists, including Ronan Parke. - Explain who is he. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Background and writing
 * "It was written by Clarkson with David Hodges and Ben Moody and produced by Hodges and Moody" - Same as above. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "She took less than 25 minutes to write the song lyrics." - "She wrote the lyrics of the song in less than 25 minutes." ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Un-link Evanescence in the quotation "Hearing the Evanescence album...". We shouldn't link terms in the quotes and Evanescence is linked below in the critical reception section. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Composition
 * ""Because of You" is a pop rock song with a length of three minutes and thirty-nine seconds.[7]" - This isn't said in the source you cited.✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "According to the sheetmusic..." - "According to the sheet music..." ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Please provide a source after "The song begins with piano-led melody as Clarkson sings "I will not make / the same mistake that you did"" - this sentence. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I've also done some small correction in the article because I didn't want to point them here.


 * Critical reception
 * There were several reviews in the composition section which I moved in this section as they were discussing the song critically, not musically.
 * Again there were some small mistakes that I didn't want to point here.


 * Chart performance
 * Please write the numbers bigger that ten with numbers not with letters. See Manual of Style/Dates and numbers ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "It also topped the Pop Songs chart." - When? ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "On December 2009, the song appeared at number seven on the list of Best of the 2000s - Pop Songs compiled by Billboard." - ""Because of You" became the seventh best selling single of the 2000s decade on the Pop Songs chart complied by Billboard." Plus put this sentence right after the information about topping the Pop Songs chart.✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "Additionally, the song appeared on the ARIA's Year End Charts of 2006 at number fifty-eight. - "The song became the fifty eighth best-selling single in Australia in 2006." ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Live performances
 * On August 21, 2007, Clarkson appeared on the fifth season of Canadian Idol as a mentor for the Top 5 contestants and performed "Because of You" and "Never Again (2007)."[59] - "On August 21, 2007, Clarkson performed "Because of You" and "Never Again" (2007) on the Canadian Idol where she was also a mentor for the top five contestants[59]" - I still find the fact that she was a mentor to be unimportant. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Clarkson's performance of the song during the tour in the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City, was given a positive review by Jim Cantiello of MTV. - Un-link New York City, as it is linked above. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Track listing
 * The comma goes right after "Because of You" not in the whole nime. Ex. "Because of You (Jason Nevins Radio)" should be "Because of You" (Jason Nevins Radio). Do it everywhere you see it. ✅ — My December (talk) 08:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Maybe you have some of this sources in the track listing section so be careful not to repeat them. And remove the information about the release of the music video in this section.
