I will add a review for this article soon. This song was definitely a cultural reset so props to you for improving it.--NØ 12:43, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

General

 * There seems to be inconsistency in whether she is addressed as "Cardi" or "Cardi B", should be the same throughout.
 * Italicize all instances of Billboard, including "Billboard Music Awards"
 * Is it possible to shorten the quotes from Billboard, Rolling Stone, GQ, Complex, and Pink News? These are all causing a detection of high likelihood of plagiarism. Pending
 * The ones above 40% need to be driven below that number, those specific quotes that are causing the issue. You will need to click on the above link to see them.

Lead

 * "It gave Cardi B her fourth number-one single and Megan's second number-one single in the U.S." - "It gave Cardi B her fourth number-one single and Megan her second in the U.S."
 * "became the only female rapper to achieve Hot 100 number one singles in two decades" - Hyphenate "number-one" here.
 * "became the first number one single on the inaugural Billboard Global 200" - Hyphenate here as well.
 * ""earned the position 11 on IFPI's year-end singles chart - maybe "11th position"?
 * "number one" is spelled out but 4 and 3 are written as numerals in "4 months and 3 weeks". Should be consistent and I think it is encouraged that all single-digit numbers be spelled out.
 * "Channel 4 aired the documentary Queens of Rap (2021), about the song and its commentary." - I'm not sure what is meant by "and its commentary".

Background and Release

 * The first sentence does not read like an introductory sentence to me. Maybe go for "On August 3, 2020, Cardi B revealed that she would release a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion soon, and simultaneously unveiled its cover art on social media."
 * "A few days later on August 6" could be "three days later".
 * "The song became Cardi's first release of 2020" - "The song marked Cardi's first release of 2020"
 * The video using the censored version is repeated twice in this section.

Production and composition

 * "She wrote multiple versions of the hook before deciding on the official" - Maybe say "final version" instead of "official".
 * "both were sending tracks to each other" - "sent"
 * "particularly, the part of the arrangement of the song that 'feels like a hook'" - who is this quote from? It might be helpful to mention. Pending
 * The genres should be mentioned in this section. After you add those, the references should be moved out of the infobox.

Reception

 * Try to cut down the amount of quotes and paraphrase wherever possible.
 * The sub-sections are so hefty that maybe they should be split into separate sections entirely, for better readability. I'm thinking "Critical reception" and "Controversy".
 * What would happen with the two other sub sections, MaranoFan?
 * I didn't think about what would happen with those, tbh. We can leave it like it is I guess.--NØ 15:36, 5 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Introduce the song title in the first sentence of the "TikTok" section.

Accolades

 * Remove the Spotify playlists from the table as Spotify are not critics.
 * Remove all award shows that do not have a Wikipedia article per WP:INDISCRIMINATE.

Track listing

 * This section should be removed per WikiProject Songs.

Music video

 * Introduce the song title in the first sentence.
 * "uses the alternate clean version of the song" - Is it the alternate version or the clean version? One would do.
 * "wearing custom Nicolas Jebran dresses, with long trains, opera gloves, and matching updos" - "wearing [...] long trains"?

Commercial performance

 * I would introduce the song title in the first sentence here as well.
 * "debuted at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart" - Don't hyphenate here.
 * "the only female rapper to achieve Hot 100 number one singles in two different decades" - Hyphenate here.
 * Billboard is not a part of the chart name for Digital Songs.
 * Ditto on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. See WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS for info. Pending removal of Billboard from the title.
 * The full form Recording Industry Association of America should be included here on first usage.
 * "where it has spent seven non-consecutive weeks atop" - No need for "has"

Live performances

 * This one looks perfect! Not sure we need the one line separated from the paragraph, though.

Cover versions

 * Looks good.

Impact and legacy

 * Looks good.
