Oh Santa!
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because… It's quite a short article and I want to know what needs to be done to ensure a GA pass.

 * I think you should do this after you've made as many contributions to the article as possible, not now. It needs a lot of work. Much bulk up of information, copy-edit before and after, reliable sources etc.-- CallMe Nathan  &bull;  Talk2Me   17:30, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * A specific example would be the Mashup section, which would require more information to warrant its own section. If not, it should be merged with a couple other things to form a section with a title like "Other versions" or something like that. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:21, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the reviewers above, the article is not quite at GA readiness. You may want to go to WP:GA and check out other song articles that are GAs. Use those article as templates for this one. I'll go through the article and give you some feedback.


 * Do song titles need to be italicized? I don't know just asking.  Check other GA/FA song articles to be sure.
 * The mashup section needs to be expanded per above. Is there anything else that can be added?  One-sentence is not enough to justify a section.
 * Are there any negative reviews that can be added?
 * Quotation marks w/in a quote should be single (') marks rather than double (").
 * You refer to Mariah Carey as Mariah throughout the article. I don't think this is professional.  It should probably be her last name or rewritten to avoid using her name at all.
 * I added a template to the end of the Promotion section about it broadcast on an ABC special.  That should be referenced.
 * Watch overlinking. Terms can be linked once in the lead and once in the article and that's usually it.  You should go through and check for overlinking.
 * Refs should be formatted consistently:
 * I see Mariahcarey.com is italicized sometimes and other times it isn't. It should not be italicized.  Same with the Billboard refs, though if you are referencing the magazine in some places and the website in others then that would explain the difference.
 * Check ref 6, it may be a dead link.
 * Ref 14 needs an accessdate. YouTube isn't a very credible reference.  Same with ITunes.  Not that they can't ever be used but be careful when using them.


 * Overall I'd say you're off to a good start. Use one of the GA/FA song articles as a template to help you figure out what else should be added. This concludes my review if you have questions then contact me on my talk page as I don't watch review pages.  Cheers and best of luck to you.
