 * Infobox
 * The album's recording dates can't automatically be applied to songs; date ranges for specific songs are needed, so just use "2012" if anything unless a range specifically for this song's recording can be used
 * Done


 * Remove the album tracklisting; these sorts of things have been repeatedly deleted through TfD's
 * Done


 * Lead
 * In its current state, this does not fully summarize the entire article per WP:LEAD. For example, there should be something on chart performance when information is known. I would at least include UK Rock since that was its highest chart positioning, and probably US Alternative songs. There also is nothing on the composition.
 * Done


 * Background and release
 * A more appropriate title would be "Recording and release"
 * Done


 * "The band performed other songs that were on the track listing of ¡Uno!; 'Oh Love' and 'Carpe Diem'" is better suited for the album article rather than here
 * Done


 * ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! don't belong here as this song isn't part of those albums
 * Done


 * The release dates of "Oh Love" and "Kill the DJ" are irrelevant; this article isn't about those songs
 * Done


 * Theme and composition
 * File:Green Day - Let Yourself Go.ogg is 0.3 seconds too long per WP:SAMPLE, where it cannot exceed 30 seconds or whatever 10% of the song's length is. Also, I'm not sure its inclusion is particularly beneficial. Either way, the description used isn't very informative.
 * Same issue were raised during the last GA and I had trimmed it down to precisely 17.69s. However it is showing 18s somehow. Let me know if I should further trim it. &mdash;  Yash! [talk] 01:47, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably best to reduce down to 17 seconds Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:27, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I will do it soon. Thanks &mdash;  Yash! [talk] 09:59, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * And Done &mdash;  Yash! [talk] 12:01, 26 March 2015 (UTC)


 * "90s" should be "1990s", and "80s" should be "1980s" per MOS:DATE
 * Done


 * "The song sees Green Day harken back" is an opinion, so attribute this to NME with quotes
 * Done


 * "The song also reflects the style of" is also an opinion, so attribute this to Slant explicitly
 * Done


 * Critical reception
 * ""Tre’s" should be "Tre's" per MOS:QUOTEMARKS
 * Tré refers to Tré Cool, the drummer


 * I don't think The Reporter (newspaper) is the correct page for the given URL, so unlink this
 * Done


 * Link Greg Kot
 * Done


 * Live performances
 * "where they performed an entire set of over 15 new songs from the then-unannounced ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy"..... again, keep the focus on ¡Uno!, and various songs will do just fine
 * Done


 * "The front-man Billie Joe Armstrong was admitted to hospital" → "Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong was hospitalized
 * Done


 * Chart performances
 * MOS:PARAGRAPHS discourages really short sections like this, so I'd probably move the info from this to the section on release
 * Done


 * Try to use more than "it" to describe the song
 * Done


 * References
 * FN2: Publisher for MTV is Viacom
 * Done


 * FN3: Digital Spy shouldn't be italicized
 * Done

 * Done


 * FN7: Dead link
 * Done


 * FN9: YouTube is often a discouraged source due to potential copyright concerns
 * Done


 * FN10: Dead link
 * Done


 * FN11: "VH1 Music News" should simply read VH1 without italics, and ″ should be ' per MOS:QUOTEMARKS
 * Done


 * FN12: What makes "All Campus Radio Network" (ACRN) reliable?
 * Done


 * FN14: Capitalize the "M" for Slant Magazine
 * Done

 * Done

 * Done


 * Overall
 * Well-written?
 * Prose quality: Could be better
 * Manual of Style compliance: Not quite


 * Verifiable?
 * Reference layout: Needs some work
 * Reliable sources: Almost
 * No original research: Dead links make things harder to verify


 * Broad in coverage?
 * Major aspects: While shorter than many song articles that go through GAN, I'm pretty sure this includes all the essential bits
 * Focused: Some irrelevant detail needs to be removed


 * Neutral?: No bias in the article, even if some attribution to opinions is needed


 * Stable?: Looks good


 * Illustrated, if possible, by images?
 * Appropriate licensing: Audio sample is a bit long
 * Relevance and captioning: Not sure if audio sample is beneficial


 * Pass or Fail?: On hold for seven days. Good luck! Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:57, 24 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I will start working soon. The review is greatly appreciated. Thanks!  Yash!  02:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. When you do get to this, I just remembered something; song writers and producers are missing within prose. Snuggums (talk / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 02:43, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Done
 * Added one more image. &mdash;  Yash! [talk] 09:59, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You've done well so far,, though remember song writers and producers also need to be included in lead. Additionally, MTV and VH1 are (incorrectly) italicized; please fix that. I'll have another look-through afterwards. <b style="color:#454545">Snuggums</b> (<b style="color:#454545">talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 20:56, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
