Let's see if third time is the charm. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:33, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I hope it is :) XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 21:53, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

I've made a very slight run-on sentence in "Background and release". Passing it and "Composition", including the sample OGG. Passing images, both fair use and free. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:00, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I noticed that, and thank you very much sir! XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 21:06, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching that!  Gia co bbe  talk 21:10, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Background and production
 * Shortened French radio info, it was mostly irrelevant to readers. What Katy says is more important than where she said it.
 * The quote at the end of the section is over dotted, three dots per occurence only, please.

Synopsis
 * felids is an unfamiliar term: why say that, as opposed to cats?
 * Wikipedia links cats as an actual household cat, felids are the actual family of larger cats (the ones shown in the video)  Gia co bbe  talk 20:23, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's best to just to simply say "large cats" and not link it. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:27, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Or big cats ? Large felines is fine, but it's a tricky thing what to say here. --  Zanimum (talk) 00:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * "She comes across a broken robot (resembling a spaceman), which upon her kiss turns into a" --> "She comes across a broken robot, resembling a spaceman; upon her kiss it turns into a"

 * why is Pigeon capitalized? gazelle isn't. Only Latin names of animals are generally's capitalized, or English names of animals that have human names mixed in.

 * Vogue sunglasses... is that a brand, a style?
 * Vogue is a brand, though no Wiki page exists for it.  Gia co bbe  talk 20:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅  Gia co bbe  talk 20:36, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I recognize the logo, now that I Googled it. Interesting side note, Vogue Eyewear is owned by Luxottica, which owns Ray-Ban, Oakley, makes for Prada, Chanel, Armani... and then they own practically every eyewear chain: Bright Eyes, LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Sunglass Hut... good grief! --  Zanimum (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Reception
 * Does Sal Cinquemani have other criticism of the video? The quote you've included seems rather docile.

Live performances and cover versions
 * What's a Walmart Soundcheck set? I haven't the foggiest. Is it online, is it at a store, is it a concert at Walmart head office?
 * Removed since it's hard to say exactly what those are. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:39, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Googling this, it's easier to describe than you thought. Don't over think things, sometimes the answer is closer than you'd think. --  Zanimum (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hold on, this was actually a downloadable track? (Just looking at the article/redirect for Walmart Soundcheck, re: Big and Rich's appearance. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walmart_Soundcheck&oldid=567880886 ) --  Zanimum (talk) 00:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The tour should be mentioned first, even if these one-offs were earlier. It seems like an afterthought where it currently is placed.
 * How is it now? XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:39, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks good. While this format isn't chronological, it's most important first. --  Zanimum (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Passing "Track listings and formats", "Credits and personnel", "Charts", "Certifications", "Release history", "See also", "External links". -- Zanimum (talk) 19:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Passing "Critical reception", "Commercial performance". References left, plus reviewing your changes. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:59, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

There is variance between references to Billboard. Sometimes it's "Billboard. Prometheus Global Media." and sometimes "Billboard (New York: Prometheus Global Media)." Are they even two different templates, perhaps? cite news and cite web?

None of the sources seems out of line to cite.

There are a few problem links. --  Zanimum (talk) 00:38, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * While cite web and cite news are somewhat different templates, I've made them all match now. Also removed dead links. any last suggestions? XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 01:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I think everything checks out now. GA! --  Zanimum (talk) 01:30, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
