Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • Pipe Clarence Coffee Jr. to The Monsters & Strangerz under songwriters
  • Pipe Stephen Kozmeniuk to Koz (musician)
  • WP:OVERLINK of Koz (musician) under producer(s)
  • "from her second studio album" → "from her second studio album,"
  • The production part is not sourced anywhere in the body
  • The release part should be the fourth sentence of the first para instead
  • ""Love Again" is a classically-sounding" → "It is a classic-sounding" per the body sourcing this, not classical the genre
  • The sample sentence should come directly after the above one
  • "and personal growth. They see Lipa" → "and personal growth, seeing Lipa"
  • Remove release year of "My Woman" since that being solely in the body is sufficient
  • "with its strings, horn and trumpet," → "using it for the melody," to avoid too much lead detail
  • ""Love Again" was sent for → "it was sent for"
  • Remove "from Future Nostalgia" because you have already said the single is from the album earlier on in this sentence
  • "on 4 June 2021 globally." → "on 4 June globally." to avoid overusage of the year
  • "used in its production" → "used in the production"
  • "Commercially, the song reached" → "Commercially, "Love Again" reached" and the Global chart position should be the last of the three
  • "where it reached the summit." → "reaching the summit in the last of the territories." and any countries this charted in need to be sourced in the body
  • "is certified silver in the United Kingdom and platinum in" → "has been certified silver in the United Kingdom by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and platinum in both" with the wikilink, also mention the other respective organizations
  • Remove introduction to Lope Serrano, as that being in the body only is fine
  • Remove overly obvious wikilink on London
  • I don't think "saddle" is really an appropriate term here
  • "on multiple occasions including at the" → "on multiple occasions in 2021, including at the" removing the year from any of the occasions listed because all of this sentence is 2021 performances

 Done

Writing and production

[edit]
  • Img looks good!
  • Pipe Clarence Coffee Jr. to The Monsters & Strangerz
  • Pipe Stephen Kozmeniuk to Koz (musician)
  • "who had been dishonest" → "who was dishonest"
  • "Lipa didn't recognize herself" → "Lipa failed to recognize herself"
  • "but they hadn't written anything" → "but had not written anything"
  • "to that studio" → "to the studio"
  • Second studio album introduction is redundant since that has already been provided in the lead
  • Wikilink riff
  • Pipe drum break to Break (music), rather than the overly obvious wikilink on drum
  • "positive energy into ones life" → "positive energy into one's life"
  • Remove overly obvious wikilink on guitar per WP:OVERLINK
  • Wikilink song structure
  • "and the crediting of the song's writers that includes" → "and credit for its writers, including" on the img text, also pipe sample to Sampling (music)
  • "build with a lot of drums before and string part" does not read right at all; maybe something like "built up with a lot of a drums, before working on the string part" or whatever this really means better worded
  • Remove commas around Drew Jurecka
  • "which she expressed her admiration for how" → "which she admired for how"
  • Wikilink middle eight per MOS:LINK2SECT
  • Add the release year of Star Wars in brackets, as it is the same for the movie or film no matter which is referenced
  • "She described it as a visual line" → "She described the line as a visual one"
  • Remove overly obvious wikilink on London
  • "the ad libs last which she was nervous for thinking" → "the ad-libs last, nervously thinking" with the pipe
  • "with great acoustics where" → "with strong acoustics where" to be less repetitive
  • Sleep Sound should only be mentioned once in prose
  • Pipe mixing to Audio mixing (recorded music)
  • Remove overly obvious wikilink on Los Angeles
  • Remove wikilink on middle eight since this should have been done earlier on
  • "but quickly went" → "but quickly went with the"
  • Remove pipe on mix

 Done

Music and lyrics

[edit]
  • Audio sample looks good!
  • ""Love Again" is a" → "Musically, "Love Again" is a"
  • Remove wikilink on middle eight
  • Remove wikilink on chord progression
  • Remove overly obvious wikilink on violin per WP:OVERLINK
  • "stirring, and buzzing" → "stirring and buzzing" and the sample sentence should be directly after this one
  • "make up its chord progression and much of its" → "make up the chord progression and much of the"
  • "strings, horn, and" → "strings, horn and"
  • Pipe register to Vocal register
  • "a new relationship, and explains" → "a new relationship and explains"
  • "After a falling out with" → "Having fallen out with"
  • "into their lives when things aren't" → "into their life when things are not" and this should be the last sentence instead

 Done

Release and promotion

[edit]
  • "is apart on" → "is apart of"
  • Pipe percussion to Percussion instrument
  • "instrumentals, and strutting beats" → "instrumentals and strutting beats"
  • I'm not sure if squelchy is an appropriate term here; it is not a reception section, remember
  • You should mention that Lipa talks about the making of the song in the episode
  • "on 4 June 2021." → "on 4 June."
  • "fifteen months following" → "after 15 months following" per MOS:NUM
  • No name for the Italy radio service?
    • There was a consensus on this a little while ago, I can't find it right now but essentially the source for Italy radio dates doesn't have a specific format so "Radio airplay" was deemed a more accurate term. LOVI33 03:44, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add the term "stations" after the names of the radio ones in the US
  • "was officially sent to" → "was officially sent as a single to" to be specific
  • "and the 15 October 2021-released" → "and the 15 October-released" to avoid overusage of the year

 Done

Critical reception

[edit]
  • Retitle to Reception per the inclusion of best-of lists
  • This should be ordered by thematic element, i.e. reviews focused on the sample first
  • "sample, calling them "goosebump-inducing,"[56] while musicOMH's Nick Smith stated they" → "sample as "goosebump-inducing,"[56] while musicOMH's Nick Smith stated it"
  • "thought the song was reminiscent of" → "found the song to be reminiscent of"
  • Add a space after "Turn the Beat Around"
  • Wikilink Spectrum Culture
  • "best use of a sample with the "My Woman" sample." → "best use of a sample with "My Woman"."
  • "also named it" → "also questioned if it is"
  • "pro-love song to date."" → "pro-love song to date"." per MOS:QUOTE
  • "25th best song,[62] and writer" → "25th best song and writer", moving this ranking to the end of the section instead
  • "Writing for Crack Magazine, Michael Cragg" → "For Crack Magazine, Michael Cragg"
  • Remove wikilink on ballad per MOS:LINKSTYLE
  • "dancefloor-ready bop."" → "dancefloor-ready bop"."
  • "add a "jolt of nostalgia,"" → "adds a "jolt of nostalgia","
  • ""out-of-body love experience."" → ""out-of-body love experience"."
  • "are "non-committal," and the" → "are "non-committal" and the"
  • "not make it "soar."" → "not make it "soar"."
  • The Evan Sawdey review should come first, as that is not a negative one
  • Separate rankings from the reviews by starting a new para for them
  • "your better wishes."" → "your better wishes"."

 Done

Commercial performance

[edit]
  • "on the chart." → "on the Global 200."
  • "on the chart dated" → "on the issue dated"
  • "on chart, and charted for" → "on the UK Singles Chart, lasting for"
  • The chart positions should be order geographically, so add the rest of the European ones after the UK, then North America followed by Oceania
  • Any of the countries referenced in the lead must be mentioned, even if you simply say it reached the top 10 in them
  • "at number 11 in its" → "at number 11 in the"
  • "In the United States, the song" → "In the US, the song" per MOS:US
  • Wikilink NZ Hot Singles Chart per MOS:LINK2SECT

  • Mention the date of the Polish certification too

 Done

Music video

[edit]

Background and release

[edit]
  • "Canada attempted to gather" → "Serrano attempted to gather" per the source mentioning that it was him, not the company as a whole
  • "found new meanings the rodeo elements" → "found new meanings of the rodeo elements"
  • Wikilink music video on the img text
  • Remove wikilink on London
  • "Serrano recalled that she enjoyed" → "Serrano recalled she enjoyed"
  • Pipe VFX to Visual effects
  • "as well as adjusting the natural shadow of the horse." → "as well as adjusting its natural shadow." to be less wordy
  • "It premiered on" → "It premiered via" to be less repetitive
  • "This version features an opening of" → "This version opens with"
  • "that is lyrics of" → "which is the lyrics of" but where is it sourced that they are reading a script at the beginning?
  • "more shots of the rodeo clowns," → "more shots of the clowns," to be less repetitive
  • Pipe final credits to Closing credits
  • Where is it sourced that a rodeo clown, specifically, rides a horse?

 Done

Analysis and synopsis

[edit]
  • Img looks good!
  • None of the first sentence is sourced; I am aware of MOS:TVPLOT but things like what title cards say still require sourcing
  • "The visual starts out with a cowboy hat floating" → "Simultaneously, a cowboy hat floats"
  • "Intercut scenes of her" → "Intercut scenes of Lipa"
  • Pipe LED to Light-emitting diode
  • The LEDs and green top are not directly sourced
    • The Wonderland reference shows a screenshot of the outfit, which I think should be appropriate considering WP:PLOTCITE. The source says miniature light bulbs so I changed it to that. LOVI33 04:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • [29][105] should solely be at the end of the sentence
  • Wikilink slow motion
  • "and hot pink cowboy boots." → "and pink cowboy boots." because hot is not encyclopaedic
  • [103][29][105][106] should be put in numerical order
  • "in another room while rodeo clowns do the same and" → "in the same bowl while rodeo clowns crack them too and" per the source
  • "while also making omelettes." → "as well as making omelettes."
  • "camo green cargo pants," → "camouflage green cargo pants,"
  • [109] is not the correct source for invisible horse appearances
  • "an anonymous person, with both of them wearing" → "an anonymous person; they both wear" to avoid overusage of with
  • "onto her partners jacket." → "onto her partner's jacket."

 Done

Reception

[edit]
  • "was a metaphor for" → "may be a metaphor for"
  • "while also comparing it to the video for" → "while also comparing it to the clip for"
  • Remove wikilink on Madonna
  • "Devon Ivie it a" → "Devon Ivie labeled the music video a"
  • "that her "falling in" → "that "has us falling in" per the source
  • "the video while calling" → "the video, while calling"
  • "the choreography "TikTok" → "the choreography "a TikTok" with the wikilink
  • "were more "surreal" while also stating that the clown makeup was" → "are more "surreal", while also stating that the clown makeup is"
  • "on the mechanical bull." → "on the bull." to be less repetitive, but does this review really praise her performance or merely mention it?
  • "and praising its surreality." → "and praising the surreality."
  • "the video give the song" → "the video gives the song"
  • "rodeo fantasy" while commending" → "rodeo fantasy", while commending"

 Done

Live performances

[edit]
  • "She performed "Love Again" for" → "Lipa performed "Love Again" for" but the song being performed is not sourced
  • "On 29 May 2020, she" → "On 29 May, she" but the song is not sourced as being part of the charity concert
    • Removed both of these. I'm pretty sure there were proper links attached to these sources before but they seem to have been removed and I cannot find a back up. Also, not the most reliable sources. LOVI33 04:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pipe livestream to Livestreaming
  • Lipa's special quote is not sourced
  • "of the song, and the concert" → "of the song and the concert"
  • Remove overly obvious wikilink on Washington D.C. per WP:OVERLINK
  • "a guitarist, and a" → "a guitarist and a" and the source does not state the exact number of backup singers is four

  • Pipe to Time 100 should only be on 2021 Time 100
  • "41st BRIT Awards as part of her set list of a Future Nostalgia Medley" → "41st Brit Awards as part of her set list of a Future Nostalgia Medley"
  • "on 17 September 2021." → "on 17 September." to avoid overusage of the year
  • Unicef → UNICEF with the wikilink
  • The source does not mention that the song was performed for the above concert

Final comments and verdict

[edit]
  • LOVI33 Nice response, this came less than a week after the review was completed so I wasn't sweating it! However, when I said the production part is not written out in the body I meant mentioning that Koz was the sole producer, also if the Croatia year-end position is sourced from the PDF then why not cite that instead? --K.
