 * General
 * Disambiguation links and external links are in good shape!
 * I recommend adding in an "External links" section with a MetroLyrics link.


 * Introduction
 * I think it would be best to just say that the song charted without being released as a single, since none of the charts listed are particularly great positions.


 * Background
 * The liner notes referenced in this section don't imply that Marvin's Room is infamous. You can keep this statement if you find a reference that verifies its notoriety; otherwise, I think it should be removed.


 * Composition
 * The reference you provide doesn't seem to include the full Curtis Mayfield speech, unless I'm missing something?
 * How would you suggest sourcing from MetroLyrics? The same as any other ref?  Gia co bbe  talk 21:10, 19 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I recommend changing "he's" for "he is".


 * Controversy
 * Looks good!


 * Critical reception
 * Can you mention in the beginning of the section that the song received favorable reviews? This would be good to know at quick glance.


 * Charts
 * I'd like to see the chart positions turned into a brief paragraph in addition to the table; it can be in the beginning of this section or a newly-created "Commercial performance" section, your choice!




 * Credits and personnel
 * I would recommend moving this content above the "Charts" section.


 * References
 * Buzz Media should be listed as Spin Media.
 * PopMatters should not be italicized.

The article is in good shape, and after my last wave of comments is addressed, I'll be happy to pass the article! WikiRedactor (talk) 21:05, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Comments from non-involved users

 * Prism's review

Reference style

 * FN9 has PopMatters italicized where it should not be.
 * FN10 should have The A.V. Club italicized.
 * FN3, FN12 and FN13 have "curly apostrophes" (‘ instead of ') that need correction.

Prose

 * Lead
 * Could you rephrase the first sentence of the lead to something like "(x) is a song recorded by (y) for his twentieth studio album"?
 * "somg" (typo)
 * "written by David Foster and Linda Thompson-Jenner, who receive writing credits." (clarify this in a way that readers are able to realize that they received writing credits for "Tuscan Leather")
 * "it's" → "its"
 * "Tuscan Leather" (in the beginning of the second paragraph) → The song/The track to avoid repetition.

Just some minor changes that in my eyes will improve the article even further.  prism  △ 20:36, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
