I will take on another article for you now; this one hasn't been lying around for as long so I'm saving it from that! --K. Peake 08:38, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * Infobox looks good!
 * "Adele wrote the song with its producer" → "Adele wrote the song alongside the producer"
 * Mention that the release was to US contemporary hit radio stations
 * ""Oh My God" has lyrics about" → "it has lyrics about"
 * The reviews should be listed as generally positive instead, per one being negative
 * "and identified commercial potential in it." → "and identified the commercial potential."
 * Wikilink music video
 * "She performed "Oh My God" during" → "She performed the song during"

Background and release

 * "in almost ten years," → "in almost 10 years," per MOS:NUM
 * Wikilink blind dates
 * "explain to her son" → "explain to him"
 * Wikilink "Water Under the Bridge" to itself
 * "into the dating pool but" → "into the dating pool, but"
 * [8] should be at the end of both sentences since they use direct quotes
 * "oh my God'"." → "oh my God.'"" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences
 * "on 15 October 2021." → "on 14 October 2021."
 * Pipe adult contemporary radio to Adult contemporary music

Composition

 * Retitle to Composition and lyrics
 * "engineered it at" → "engineered the song at"
 * "Randy Merrill mastered it at" → "Randy Merrill handled mastering at"
 * ""Oh My God" is a" → "Musically, "Oh My God" is a"
 * "Its instrumentation incorporates" → "The instrumentation incorporates"
 * Remove the plural for Afrobeat per the source
 * [26] should be invoked at the end of both sentences using direct quotes
 * "background vocals which Mikael Wood" → "background vocals, which Mikael Wood"
 * "with a fresh person," → "with a new person,"
 * "to begin flirting just yet." → "to begin flirting already."

Critical reception

 * "received positive reviews from music critics, who praised" → "was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who mostly praised"
 * "Bobby Olivier called it" → "Bobby Olivier called the song"
 * "Writing for The Guardian, Kitty Empire found" → "For The Guardian, Kitty Empire found"
 * Remove "on it" at the end of the sentence since this is implied
 * Remove the "Can I Get It" mention, as that is only one of these reviews so only mention the song in the review's sentence
 * Remove "to it" per earlier

Commercial performance

 * Decapitalise gold and mention the date of the certification in the United Kingdom
 * Ditto for the platinum one but write the US per MOS:US
 * Decapitalise platinum and mention the date of the Australian certification (country is already here though)
 * No date is available for the Australian certification; it seems they certify everything in bulk at the end of the year.


 * Ditto for New Zealand
 * I'm confused about the grammar for the grouped chart positions; should it always be commas after the first one without any usage of "in" or should the last of each position use "and"?
 * "earned a Gold certification" → "further earned gold certifications"
 * Cert decapitalisations not done for same reasons as our discussions on prior GANs, since this is a matter of stylistic choice.

Music video

 * Mention that Sam Brown previously directed the visual for "Rolling in the Deep" per the source
 * The shooting date is not sourced
 * The date of shooting is sourced as being the same as "Easy on Me"'s release date from the NME source directly after the sentence.


 * "and it premiered on" → "and the video premiered on"

Credits and personnel

 * Good

Weekly charts

 * Pipe HRT to Croatian Radiotelevision

Year-end charts

 * Good

Certifications

 * Good

Release history

 * Good

Final comments and verdict

 * until all of the issues are fixed; that went to my expectations! --K. Peake 09:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It's great to see you're on fire again, K. Peake! It is especially appreciated after some nominations sat out for months. All addressed!--NØ 10:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No problem, had to step in for my duty after so many reviewers stopped! For the Australian certification, mention the year, also add url-access limited to the last Rolling Stone ref (72) and write US before the radio stations in the lead. --K. Peake 12:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Done with the others but the Rolling Stone ref already has url-access limited in its code but isn't displaying it in the preview for some reason. If you're able to fix this, go ahead, or I guess we'll just have to ignore it.--NØ 12:23, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ now, I have fixed the formatting for you! --K. Peake 12:47, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
