I'll review this today --Kyle Peake (talk) 05:43, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * Recording date is unsourced
 * "For the 1983 song," → "For the Mary Wells song,"
 * "Meghan Trainor to promote the film" → "Meghan Trainor, for promotion of the film"
 * "Martin Renea co-wrote it, and co-produced it with" → "Martin Renea co-wrote and co-produced the song, alongside"
 * This wording gave the idea that the Monsters and the Strangerz were involved in the songwriting too, so I tweaked it a bit.


 * "Epic Records released it as a single" → "Epic Records released the song for digital download and streaming as a single" with the appropriate targets
 * "percussion-heavy instrumentation, "I'm a Lady" is a" → "percussion-heavy instrumentation, it is a"
 * "song that has lyrics about" → "song, with the lyrics discussing"
 * "It received mostly positive reviews from music critics" → "The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics" with the target and add what was praised
 * "charted at number 40 on the US Adult Top 40 chart and 300 on the Russia Airplay chart" → "reached number 40 and 300 on the US Adult Top 40 and Russia Airplay charts, respectively, in 2017" with the target
 * "directed the music video," → "directed an accompanying music video,"
 * "2017, and features only" → "2017. The video features solely"
 * "in settings such as a boardroom, wearing" → "who are seen in a boardroom, wearing"
 * "shooting archery and lifting weights" → "shooting archery, and lifting weights"
 * "Trainor has performed "I'm a Lady" live" → "In 2017, Trainor performed the song live"

Background and release

 * "In October 2015, Meghan Trainor" → "In October 2015, Trainor"
 * Add releae year of The Peanuts Movie soundtrack in brackets
 * "contributed another track called "Good to be Alive" to its" → "recorded another track entitled "Good to be Alive" for the"
 * "with The Monsters and the Strangerz" → "with the Monsters and the Strangerz"
 * "announced that she had written the song for the film Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) at the 2016 KIIS-FM Jingle Ball, describing it" → "announced at the 2016 KIIS-FM Jingle Ball that she had written the song for the film Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017), describing the song"
 * "fire'" and an" → "fire'", and called it an"
 * Wikilink upbeat to itself per MOS:LINK2SECT
 * The last sentence of this para provides irrelevant information to this section; add the Friday release date announcement here instead but move the stills info to Music video; try something in this section like "Weeks prior to its release, Trainor had announced the song for release on..."
 * "was edited by her brother" → "was edited by Meghan's brother"
 * "released as a single for digital download and streaming" → "released for digital download and streaming as a single by Epic Records"
 * "on February 27 and 28," → "on February 27 and February 28, 2017,"
 * I have a general rule of thumb that the year should only be mentioned once in a section per month, since more than that makes it look a bit cluttered.


 * ""I'm a Lady" led to Trainor" → ""I'm a Lady" being used for promotion of Smurfs: The Lost Village led to Meghan Trainor"
 * "was released on" → "was ultimately released on"
 * "and did not include the song" → "with it not including the song"

Composition

 * Retitle to Composition and lyrics
 * "of "I'm a Lady"'s" → "of the song's" on the audio sample text
 * The prose of this section should start with the last sentence instead
 * The penultimate sentence should be the second instead in the new order
 * "has empowering lyrics" → "features empowering lyrics"
 * "Its pre-chorus" → "The pre-chorus" with the appropriate wikilink
 * "with its chorus" → "with the chorus of the song" with the target
 * "Both sections repeat a few times" → "Both sections are repeated a few times"
 * ""I'm a Lady" has a positive message and percussion-heavy instrumentation," → ""I'm a Lady" includes percussion-heavy instrumentation and has a positive message,"
 * Target spoken to Spoken word
 * "noted to be reminiscent to her" → "noted to be reminiscent of her"

Critical reception

 * Maybe retitle this to Reception and mention the two chart positions in this section since they are written in the lead?
 * "by some critics" → "by some music critics"
 * "and its beat is one that" → "and said its beat is one that"
 * Target feminist to Feminism
 * "for the singer, and" → "for Trainor, and"
 * "She additionally criticized Trainor" → "Cauterucci additionally criticized Trainor"
 * "each other with the lyric" → "each other with the lyrics,"
 * "It received a nomination" → "The song received a nomination"

Music video

 * Wikilink music video to itself
 * "sees Trainor performing with a band" → "begins with Trainor performing alongside a band"
 * "scenes of women succeeding" → "scenes of women achieving success"
 * "walks of life, including:" → "walks of life, including;"
 * "shooting archery and lifting weights" → "shooting archery, and lifting weights"
 * "Outfits worn by Trainor" → "Outfits worn by Trainor for the visual"
 * "was described by Roth as "women can" → "was described by Roth as conveying the message that women "can"
 * Merge the second para with the first since it is only three sentences
 * "in the video, and it" → "in the music video, and said it"
 * "and do what they want." → "and do what they want"."
 * "constituting the" → "noting that she employs the"
 * "empowerment" with Trainor modeling" → "empowerment", commenting that Trainor models"
 * "and positively compared it" → "while positively comparing them"

Live performance

 * Merge with the above section as the bottom para since it is only two lines and retitle the above to Music video and live performance
 * "performed "I'm a Lady" on" → "performed "I'm a Lady" for"
 * Target Today to Today (American TV program)
 * "This marked her first performance" → "This marked Trainor's first performance"
 * "and being on vocal rest" → "and taking a vocal rest"

Credits and personnel

 * Should Trainor be credited as lead vocals or vocals?

Charts

 * Weekly chart positions for "I'm a Lady" → Weekly chart performance for "I'm a Lady"
 * Positions seems a bit more accurate? Chart performance would imply we are covering the song's entire chart run in the table, when it's just peak positions.
 * Kind of understand what you mean, retitled to Chart performance for "I'm a Lady" as this is how you should do for tables where the weekly charts are the only one. --Kyle Peake (talk) 11:40, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Release history

 * The cols should not be sortable
 * Center the refs
