  • 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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Kyle Peake I tried to help Chrishm21 on this one, take a look. Alex reach me! 17:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
11JORN Thanks a lot for your input here. --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
