Yahoo Music review inaccurate
The wikipedia entry references a Yahoo Music review of the video which states inaccuracies. The review mentions that the video borrows from both Tina Turner's 1979 film Mad Max. However, Tina Turned did not appear in the 1979 film, she appeared in the third film of the series, "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" which was released in 1985. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kheperi (talk • contribs) 19:11, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Run the World (Girls) - Critical Reception
Rolling Stone reviews Run The World (Girls): "From "Independent Women" to "Single Ladies," girl power has long been Beyoncé's Topic A, and "Run the World (Girls)" is a blistering return to the theme. She forsakes fashionable sounds — no Eurodisco synths! — to belt over Diplo and Switch's ferocious dancehall beat. The message is party-hearty feminism. But with Gaga, Britney, Katy, Rihanna and Taylor all vying to be the queen of pop, you can bet B isn't looking to share the throne." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/songreviews/run-the-world-girls-20110427 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.242.79.223 (talk) 12:56, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Video Premiere
Reports are that the video will premiere this Wednesday 18th May on American Idol. http://thatgrapejuice.net/2011/05/beyonce-run-worldgirls-visual-premiere/#more-35795 calvin999 (talk) 17:50, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That is true, i have seen the tweet, official pic and email. But they are all unreliable and it could all be a joke for all we know. Until we get official word, or source, than we can not include it. YET! But i am hopeful :D Theuhohreo (talk) 18:11, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * haha. The Season 10 American Idol page has added Beyonce - Run The World (Girls) Music Video as one of the performances that night, using the source I gave above. If it can be used in that article then it can be used in this article? I don't think they would lie about or make it up this close to it? calvin999 (talk) 19:03, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Than that edit needs to be undone. "thatgrapejuice" is definitely not reliable, and unfortunately neither is twitter. Until something more resourceful comes by, we'll need to wait it off. Rumor also has it that Bey will perform the song on Oprahs final show with 60 dancers, but the ref is not 100% reliable, so we can not include it... Is it just me, or is the Bey-world getting exciting :D Theuhohreo (talk) 20:20, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * haha yes it is getting exiting. It wasn't me that did the AI Season 10 thing I said about btw lol, I just checked to see if someone had added it or not lol. calvin999 (talk) 21:30, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Neither "That Grape Juice" nor "Twitter" is reliable. You know a lot about vocals range. You should also get to know more about the reliability of sources. Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  15:34, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I am not talking about Vocal Range here. If you want to chime in, why don't you remove the "thatgrapejuice" source from the American Idol Season Ten Results show performance section which someone put there and write in bold italics to that person instead?? And by the way, just because it is a source, doesn't mean it is right. People were writing on the Leona Lewis article that she had done a song with David Guetta from source which were just assuming that she had, which turned out to be untrue when Guetta said they in fact hadn't done a song. calvin999 (talk) 18:04, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Does Billboard.com constitute a viable source? http://www.billboard.com/news/beyonce-s-run-the-world-girls-video-to-premiere-1005187132.story#/news/beyonce-s-run-the-world-girls-video-to-premiere-1005187132.story  calvin999 (talk) 19:57, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The news of the videos premiere has broken on many reliable websites including Rap-Up, MTV News, VH1, Billboard, etc... Twitter & ThatGrapeJuice are not reliable (as stated above, twice). We already have the news included in the article, so to avoid a future internet-fight, this discussion is official ✅


 * My dear Calvin, you see yourself how you reacted when i wrote something which you did not like. I could have reacted the same way when you said that the one who wrote the article "Radio" is stupid and that he knows nothing about vocals range. Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  04:44, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Well you should have thought about that before you wrote your response in the style that you did. What you wrote was extraneous anyway because someone had already informed me had twitter and thatgrapejuice are not reliable. Oh, and did you remove the thatgrapejuice source from the Season 10 AI page? That would have been more constructive. calvin999 (talk) 11:09, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Diplo?
"Diplo, who serves as Switch's partner in Major Lazer, is not credited on the song." This source has been misinterpreted to imply that Diplo helped produce the track, but all they are saying is that Switch helped produce the track using a sample from a Major Lazer (which is Diplo+Switch project) WITHOUT help from Diplo... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.127.143.175 (talk) 19:26, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Dutch charts
Why is the Single Top 100 there. I keep changing to the Dutch Top 40, which is preferable, however a few days later is see that my edits are undone. Can someone explain why this is happening? Adabow (talk · contribs) 08:54, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Because you do not own this page. All I see is your name everywhere. This song was a BIG FLOP!!! I cannot believe this much has been written about this song,I mean,I have read biographies about famous people on Wikipedia that are shorter than this whole page about this song. I think I am going to remove a lot of things from this article to shorten it down.--99.177.248.92 (talk) 23:35, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Also you say-"Why is the Single Top 100 there. I keep changing to the Dutch Top 40, which is preferable." What, preferable to you? Or because it charted higher on the Dutch chart? Sorry, the Dutch chart isn't going to happen,I don't care how much you prefer it.--99.177.248.92 (talk) 23:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Ooook. Well, the Top 40 uses more comprehensive data than the Single Top 100. It is not my preference, but the community's consensus. See WP:GOODCHARTS: "The Single Top 100 is a component of the Dutch Top 40, and should be used only if the single did not chart on the Dutch Top 40.". —  Andrew s talk  04:31, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Copy-edit October 2011
I'm currently copy-editing this article; it's mostly well-written but the section "Composition" contains extensive song lyrics. You need to be careful here as it might be a copyright violation. I'll be checking the references to see if they contain those lyrics in analysis and if they don't I'll remove them - this could be seen as OR if editors have provided their own analyses. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 21:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Removed lyrics. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:57, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Other lyrics of this theme include the line: "...smart enough to make these millions, strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business.

 * Replying to both comments: Thanks :-). I took most of the lyrics out because of copyvio concerns (see WP:NOT), and for ease of reading. If the lyrics are in the refs and important to the discussion of the song's theme, feel free to add them back and I won't remove them again. But we do need to be careful, especially if you're going for F.A. status. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 16:23, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I've done some more tonight. Sub-section 'Synopsis' is unreferenced and I've tagged it as such; sub-sec 'Music video' --> 'Reception' is long and unwieldy; you might want to slim it down a little; perhaps remove some of the reviews from less well-known websites. I didn't see any negative reviews; a balance you may like to redress. Cheers for now. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 23:19, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Mixes Major Lazer and M.I.A. (Boyz) style in composition
Ive added this to composition:

Dallas Observer critic Shahryar Rizvi stated that the track "cribs a bit" from Major Lazer's "Pon de Floor" and M.I.A.'s track "Boyz", but that Knowles being a couple of years late in acquiring this sound was "a problem". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.207.202.143 (talk) 16:30, 27 February 2012 (UTC) Also:

"Pop starlets seem to be courting a decidedly Comic-Con audience these days: Lady Gaga and Katy Perry both set their latest videos in outer space, and now Beyoncéhas gone all Mad Max in the post-apocalyptic , militaristic clip for "Run the World (Girls)," the M.I.A.-ish lead single from her new album, 4." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.207.202.143 (talk) 16:45, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

No consensus to split out the music video. AIR corn (talk) 06:45, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

The article, which was written to the best of all Wikipedian standards, contains such a large bit of information. I bring up the subject of separating the articles accompanying music video section into it's own article as it contains such large amounts of information that would constitute it's own article! Much like the same fashion as We Found Love (music video). The video garnered multiple praise, recognition and accolades, enough to constitute its own article, and it would help "neaten" up the Run the World (Girls) article. Please leave your opinion below with a: Split/Agree for a consensus to split the article, or a Disagree with your opinion on why for the article to stay as-is.
