Prose

  • Honestly, I didn't notice any prose issues. There was one bit of the lead that I felt flowed together a bit weirdly ("Commercially, the track reached the national charts of Australia, Canada, and the United States, receiving certifications in Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom."), but I've slightly adjusted that. Let me know what you think.

Images

  • There is only one media file in the article, and it's a song excerpt. It has a valid fair use rationale that complies with WP:SAMPLE. I believe it's good to go. It even has TimedText!

Sources

  • Source formatting looks great. Every source has a writer listed (unless inapplicable), and every website is wikilinked. Date formatting is consistent as well. I have no complaints here.
  • I spotchecked a few uses of 1, 2, 4, 21, and 24. All of them seemed fine except for what I stated below.
    • Another mild thing I adjusted: Both references 1 and 2 were used in the article prose to verify the opening statement of Production and release. However, reference 1 did not mention that Swift and Dessner wrote Hoax, while 2 did. As a result, I moved the references a tad bit. Hopefully that's fine.

Final comments

This is a wonderfully written, nice little song article. I have no complaints except for what I decided to adjust myself. There's nothing here that would warrant preventing promotion / putting this on hold, so I'm going to go ahead and pass this. Good job. λ NegativeMP1 19:21, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
