Been in the nominations list for a few weeks now, will review this one soon! --Kyle Peake (talk) 14:44, 10 June 2020 (UTC)


### Infobox and lead
Use bullet points instead of hlist in the infobox
Is how I left it OK? let me know--Christian (talk) 22:46, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
No, you should remove flatlist and just use bullet points since that is advised and definitely works. --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:10, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Source for the recording date?
There aren't any verifiable sources as to the places/studios the album/songs were recorded or when

Oh this is fine, but you should mention the date at an earlier point. --Kyle Peake (talk) 16:39, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 Done


### Track listing
Change Stream to Digital download / streaming
Use the ref cited under May 10, 2019 instead of the Spotify one since that is unreliable and the former backs it up

Wikilink Madonna

 Done


### Charts
Whole section is good

Format → Format(s)
Refs should have their own col and be centered
Remove second target on Digital download
Remove wiklink on Remix
Add the MNEK Remix here under an appropriately order placement
I don't get this last point, could you elaborate?
The MNEK remix had its separate release, so shouldn't it be included here too? --Kyle Peake (talk) 15:37, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
I think it's more appropriate to keep it under the Tracklist section, but let me know --Christian (talk) 22:44, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Yeah you can do that since it's just one remix. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:40, 14 June 2020 (UTC)


### References
Copyvio score looks good at 30.6%
Make sure all of these are archived using the Fix dead links tool
Use consistent date formatting throughout; in this case, it has to be the American format
Target Billboard to Billboard (magazine) on ref 1
Remove target on Billboard for ref 2
Change ref 3 to citing Vulture as the work/website, with target to Vulture.com
There's no article for Vulture.com, it leads to New York (magazine); or are you saying I cite it as Vulture?
Cite as Vulture but target to Vulture.com per MOS:LINK2SECT --Kyle Peake (talk) 15:36, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 Not done --Kyle Peake (talk) 15:18, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 Done
Just remember that when I italicise work/website like above, I am doing it to represent how it looks; do not enter italics yourself as that doesn't work.

Cite Exitoína as publisher instead for ref 49 but keep the target
Delete refs 50 and 51 since they are unreliable
Ref 52 should cite various countries to verify that the release was indeed various
 Not done this is now ref 50 and you need to change Other(s) to Various, plus add citations for multiple countries --Kyle Peake (talk) 15:18, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
@Kyle Peake: I haven't found any source that cites more than one country, what should I do? Also let me know if the rest is OK now--Christian (talk) 15:55, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
@Chrishm21: You can follow "All Day" for an example of citing various iTunes releases and also, fix the Radio Date ref's MOS:CAPS issues --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:49, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
@Kyle Peake: let me know if this works; I've also corrected the rest of the CAPS issues on other quotations, let me know if it is correct.--Christian (talk) 15:34, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Chrishm21 The styling itself is fine, but you have cited the wrong release under Remixes, since that is supposed to be the one of multiple Remixes, not the MNEK Remix release and also, change Other(s) to Various in the table. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:04, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Kyle Peake I tried to help Chrishm21 on this one, take a look. Alex reach me! 17:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
11JORN Thanks a lot for your input here. --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Fix MOS:CAPS issues with ref 58
@Kyle Peake: well the MNEK Remix was one of the many remixes released; I have cited the other remixes (included on the EPs - pt 1 & 2), I really hope this is correct now--Christian (talk) 15:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Uhmmm, there's no ref 58
Chrishm21 These instructions are for the refs when they were in this order, so switching order/losing refs is fine to happen but use the revision linked as a guide for which refs I am talking about, also sign off posts next time. --Kyle Peake (talk) 15:42, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

### Final comments and verdict

I have corrected all the points @Kyle Peake:, if I am missing one please let me know. --Christian (talk) 14:59, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
