DYK nomination[edit]

Genre[edit]

Are we going to decide on a genre?--Jakeriederer (talk) 01:42, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. Critics have not specifically said a genre. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 10:14, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Background section[edit]

I totally support the IP address that removed the background. It is useless in the article cause it even not mentiones "Cockiness". — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 21:53, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

This song has no notability, except that its sung by Rihanna. It charted within the lower half of US and UK charts, and its reviews are taken from the album's reviews so they can be included on that page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.79.94.225 (talk) 23:16, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It passes notability. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 02:34, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~No it doesn't. How does it pass WP:GNG with 10 secondary sources and 8 KB? This is better off merged with Talk That Talk. Sorry.~~ —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 02:59, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where else do you think reviews will come from?? Album reviews for songs are perfectly acceptable and it has charted on multiple charts. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 03:49, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks a lot better now. —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 04:25, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When a song has gained position in mainstream music charts, it is considered notable per WP:NSONGS. Therefore this song deserves its own article. Yours faithfully, Kotak kasut. 03:27, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For expansion[edit]

Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 05:23, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. I have never seen most of this sources being used on Wikipedia. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 07:02, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you have already added the links. Lol. You are fast. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 07:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sampling[edit]

Hey guys, I want to ask a question regarding this song. It contains samples from Greg Kinnear's performance of "Summertime" in the 2003 film "Stuck On You" right? If yes, should the statement be included in the article? I'm asking this out of curiousity, please don't be harsh *gulps*. Thanks! Yours faithfully, Kotak kasut. 12:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is any mention of a sample in the booklet? By law you have to state it if you have sampled a song. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 12:42, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the answer Calvin! Yours faithfully, Kotak kasut. 12:50, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 12:52, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Location of the recording[edit]

Hello,

The Place where the song is recorded, it's strange. It's really write on the liner note Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg, Room 538 ?

Tk You Mikani (talk) 17:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 21:45, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Calvin, it's funny. Mikani (talk) 08:34, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

1a
Lede

Why is Mr. Bangladesh linked two times in the same sentence? Also, how are we supposed to refer to him? Is Mr. used every time in reliable sources, or do they shorten to Bangladesh?
His production name is Mr. Bangladesh, regardless of how critics refer to him. Unlinked Crawford. Aaron • ^{You Da One}
I'd suggest splitting the lede into two paragraphs, one for production and one for the song and reception.
Done. Aaron • ^{You Da One}

Background and conception

Once again, why is Mr. Bangladesh linked twice?
Unlinked Crawford. Aaron • ^{You Da One}

2b

What makes DJ Booth a reliable source? Cultureblues?
DJ Booth is perfectly reliable for GA. The critic, Nathan, has a BA in Journalism and Creative Writing. DJ Booth is not reliable for FA, which this article will not become. Aaron • ^{You Da One}

I don't get how something can be reliable enough for GA but not reliable enough for FA. Regarding the credentials, I have a BA in Indonesian lit, but that doesn't automatically make me a reliable critic for works such as Sitti Nurbaya. I tried looking at RSN, but there was nothing on DJ Booth. Also, what about Cultureblues? Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:59, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DJ Booth is used in other GAs, it's acceptable. I know, I don't understand how something can be reliable for GA and not FA, but that's FAC for you! I'm pretty sure Culture Blues is reliable. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 01:02, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked at RSN. I will add a question about Culture Blues. Of course, for this to pass immediately we could just remove the reviews until the RSN thread is finished. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:04, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not worried about it passing at this very moment in time lol. I don't mind waiting. Aaron • ^{You Da One}

Alright, hopefully they don't... well, I've had bad experiences with RSN. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:21, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The feedback was that DJ Booth is okay for a review but cultureblues should probably not be used. (here) Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:05, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed CultureBlues. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 23:21, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not much this time around. Just a couple fixes and we should be good to go

Thanks ~~

Paraphrasing checks fine. Spotchecks on three sources above also fine. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:56, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And that's a wrap. Congrats! Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:05, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Aaron • ^{You Da One} 00:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have access to Billboard.biz?[edit]

To see if the song charted on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip Hop chart? Aaron • ^{You Da One} 17:15, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Live performances[edit]

Rihanna performed Cockiness (Love It) for the first time at Radio 1's Big Weekend on June 24, 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.79.31.55 (talk) 17:49, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional Single[edit]

Being that a new lead single is going to be released simultaneously, and there are clearly no radio adds, I see this as a promotional single rather than a single itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelB722 (talk • contribs) 16:34, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is still available for digital download on iTunes, making the song a single. Never mind that new single is coming, this is still single too. — Tomica (talk) 16:37, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a promo single, the only reason this was released was so that fans could get a studio version of what was performed at the MTV VMAs--CiaraGotMeGood (talk) 03:13, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Paid digital download release is not a promo single. It's an actual single. AARON• ^TALK 17:15, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then Wait Your Turn and Beyonce's song Party should be "actual singles" too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.195.219.61 (talk) 07:48, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Wait Your Turn" is already a single, and I tried to make "Party" single, but one user keeps reverting it to just song. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 09:11, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
