The time has arrived and I am available to review one of your articles over this weekend and will get on with this one shortly, after I raised the possiblity! --K. Peake 21:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * The Black Label studio is not sourced anywhere
 * Mention in the opening sentence that it is "for their debut single album, Square One (2016)"
 * "It was released" → "The song was released" and re-word this sentence to mentioning they were released simultaneously as singles from the album
 * "the group's second single album" → "the group's second single album," although this should be sourced in background and composition
 * ""Whistle" was written and" → "The song was written and"
 * "Musically, the song consists of" → "Musically, it consists of"
 * Wikilink drum and bass
 * The booming and exotic quotes are unsourced, although they could easily be replaced with the description that is written in comp
 * "including heartbeats and whistles—alluding to the title of the track." → "including whistles and a heartbeat—alluding to the title." to be more specific
 * "among the best releases" → "among the best K-pop releases"
 * ""Whistle" claimed the number-one position" → "the song held the number-one position"
 * "marking their first" → "marking Blackpink's first"
 * I feel like you should also reference the World Digital Songs position here
 * "the song's accompanying music video garnered over ten million" → "the accompanying music video garnered over 10 million" per MOS:NUM, with the wikilink
 * There should be some info re the synopsis of the mv in its section and then add an overview here, please
 * Pipe Best Music Video to MAMA Award for Best Music Video
 * "with "Whistle" on" → "with the song on"
 * "and continued to promote the song" → "and continued with promotion"

Background and composition

 * "On July 29," → "On July 29, 2016,"
 * "to be the two title tracks" maybe try something like "first two singles" instead since these are certainly not title tracks nor does the source use that term
 * "Teddy and Bekuh Boom," → "Teddy, and Bekuh Boom,"
 * "Stylistically, "Whistle" has been" → "Musically, "Whistle" has been"
 * Remove overly obvious wikilink on guitar

Critical reception

 * "garnered generally positive reviews" → "was met with positive reviews" since there is no negative ones here
 * The song titles inside the Rolling Stone quote should be surrounded by singular speech marks instead per MOS:QWQ
 * Put more of the Entertainment Weekly review into your own words; I would suggest re-wording the end part to something like "observed that the song would be suitable for American charts."
 * "opening "Hey boy," it's" → "opening 'Hey boy,' it's"
 * "the 6th best" → "the 4th best" per the source and archive too
 * "feel impossibly fresh."" → "feel impossibly fresh"." per MOS:QUOTE

Accolades

 * This does not have enough awards to warrant the tables, nor does it to become a section since these can be moved to critical reception and I believe the music video ones should go in its section after the video's general info
 * Pipe Gaon Chart Music Awards to Circle Chart Music Awards

Commercial performance

 * The 17 million streams are not sourced and if you can, shouldn't it be written out like you did with 10 million for consistency?
 * Ditto for the Korea Music Content Association information

Music video and live performances

 * Remove duplicate wikilink on YouTube
 * "ten million views" → "10 million views" per MOS:NUM
 * Add some info about the video synopsis, either using any sources you can find or the video itself as a source
 * Pipe Gaon Chart Music Awards to Circle Chart Music Awards
 * I noticed numerous translated sources mention them performing but do not state they performed "Whistle"; please ensure this is included or else remove

Credits and personnel

 * Looks good, although if there is a studio I would suggest to add here

Charts

 * See MOS:TABLECAPTION
 * ❌ per Template:Screen reader-only, as I don't see the point in redundant table captions. There was also a discussion about this (Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Accessibility) where it was essentially determined that sr-only templates are okay to use.

Release history

 * Good

Final comments and verdict

 * until all of the issues are fixed; knew this would not take too long! --K. Peake 10:18, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
