Grabbing this like we agreed on. Will get to it this weekend :-) – zmbro (talk) 23:18, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * Do we have recording dates or genres available?
 * Not that I could find, sadly; the closest thing to a genre was the "anthemic" classification, which obviously can't go in the infobox. --K. Peake 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Damn that's a huge shame. But yeah you're right. – zmbro (talk) 18:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Since Cudi is one half of the duo you really don't need to use "Kid" for every use, at least imo
 * In the context of the duo's article or the album one you would be right, but for song articles I don't think this is correct since it's only his stage name and this has not come up in any of the other reviews. --K. Peake 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Rest looks good for now

Background and recording

 * "at the time he first met Kid Cudi in 2007," → "at the time when he first met Kid Cudi in 2007,"
 * "West did not contribute to the production of" → "West did not contribute any production to"
 * ✅ for the above --K. Peake 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Could you add a photo of Cudi and West here?
 * Is this really needed, as three pieces of media are already used to illustrate the article? --K. Peake 18:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah I that makes sense. – zmbro (talk) 18:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Composition and lyrics

 * No explicit genres present?
 * Unfortunately not, per my earlier comment. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * "Kid Cudi's single "Pursuit of Happiness" (2009)" → "Cudi's 2009 single "Pursuit of Happiness"
 * did not change to Cudi per earlier comment --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * "delivers the first verse of the song." → "delivers the first verse."
 * ❌ the most recent time "the song" has been written by this point is the Financial Times sentence --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Release and promotion

 * Link Pete Davidson
 * "with her cover altering the original's composition somewhat." Kinda vague and non-encyclopedic. I'd be more specific without making the caption too long, or just remove this entirely.
 * ✅ --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Critical reception

 * " with them often praising the lyrical content." → " with many praising the lyrical content."
 * " in his opinion" – remove this. Having reviews like this are always implied to be their opinions so stating it is redundant.
 * ✅ for the above --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Link GQ?
 * ❌ I have already wikilinked it earlier in the article --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * What's The Line of Best Fit and is it an RS? Never heard of it
 * It is an online magazine, whose reviews are frequently cited by Metacritic and AnyDecentMusic?, so I do not see any lack of reliability. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Link Billboard?
 * ❌ per earlier comment --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * After reading RS's review, I'm surprised I didn't see more people call it repetitive. I always thought towards the end it got repetitive so it's good to know someone else saw it this way as well.
 * Very interesting to hear your thoughts; I love the song but do feel it goes on for ages! --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Accolades section looks good

Commercial performance

 * "debuted at number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[59] By doing so, it stood as the highest"; too many words, try "debuted at number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100,[59] making it the highest"
 * ✅ and changed Hot 100 to "the chart" --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Rest looks good

Credits and personnel

 * Move the "credits adapted" part to the top.
 * ❌ when recording locations are backed up by other sources at the top, the liner notes should be cited lower down


 * Shouldn't West & Cudi have "vocals" next to their names?
 * ❌ liner notes do not mention this and it is already sourced as a song by the duo --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Charts

 * Looks good

Certifications

 * Looks good

Final thoughts

 * This one might be your best written article I've reviewed yet. Also, personal thanks for bringing this one up to standard. When KSG came out, I started many of its song articles, including this one. After seeing you bring "4th Dimension" and "Cudi Montage" (both of which I also started) up to standard, I always wondered if you'd ever get around to this one. Also, hard to believe your first edit on this song was this. Should be passed in no time :-) – zmbro (talk) 17:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments, I am amazed with how far I've come and I actually do plan on bringing the album to a GT soon, as only "Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)" is left to become a GA. I will address the concerns shortly, but it appears you have forgotten to place this onhold for now. --K. Peake 18:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Whoops my bad. – zmbro (talk) 18:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It is fine, I have responded to everything above! Also, I would recommend using the articlehistory template like I do for GAs. --K. Peake 19:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Sweet this looks like a ✅ to me. Yeah I feel like I should use a template but I keep getting lazy lol. Maybe next time :-) – zmbro (talk) 19:37, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I will update it for you, sweet that I've easily passed 200 reviews by now isn't it? --K. Peake 19:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah it really is cool man. Keep up the great work. – zmbro (talk) 19:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
