I will take on another article for you now; this one hasn't been lying around for as long so I'm saving it from that! --K. Peake 08:38, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

Infobox looks good!
"Adele wrote the song with its producer" → "Adele wrote the song alongside the producer"
Mention that the release was to US contemporary hit radio stations
""Oh My God" has lyrics about" → "it has lyrics about"
The reviews should be listed as generally positive instead, per one being negative
"and identified commercial potential in it." → "and identified the commercial potential."
Wikilink music video
"She performed "Oh My God" during" → "She performed the song during"

Background and release

"in almost ten years," → "in almost 10 years," per MOS:NUM
Wikilink blind dates
"explain to her son" → "explain to him"
Wikilink "Water Under the Bridge" to itself
"into the dating pool but" → "into the dating pool, but"
[8] should be at the end of both sentences since they use direct quotes
"oh my God'"." → "oh my God.'"" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences
"on 15 October 2021." → "on 14 October 2021."
Pipe adult contemporary radio to Adult contemporary music

Composition

Retitle to Composition and lyrics
"engineered it at" → "engineered the song at"
"Randy Merrill mastered it at" → "Randy Merrill handled mastering at"
""Oh My God" is a" → "Musically, "Oh My God" is a"
"Its instrumentation incorporates" → "The instrumentation incorporates"
Remove the plural for Afrobeat per the source
[26] should be invoked at the end of both sentences using direct quotes
"background vocals which Mikael Wood" → "background vocals, which Mikael Wood"
"with a fresh person," → "with a new person,"
"to begin flirting just yet." → "to begin flirting already."

Critical reception

"received positive reviews from music critics, who praised" → "was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who mostly praised"
"Bobby Olivier called it" → "Bobby Olivier called the song"
"Writing for The Guardian, Kitty Empire found" → "For The Guardian, Kitty Empire found"
Remove "on it" at the end of the sentence since this is implied
Remove the "Can I Get It" mention, as that is only one of these reviews so only mention the song in the review's sentence
Remove "to it" per earlier

Commercial performance

Decapitalise gold and mention the date of the certification in the United Kingdom
Ditto for the platinum one but write the US per MOS:US
Decapitalise platinum and mention the date of the Australian certification (country is already here though)

No date is available for the Australian certification; it seems they certify everything in bulk at the end of the year.

Ditto for New Zealand
I'm confused about the grammar for the grouped chart positions; should it always be commas after the first one without any usage of "in" or should the last of each position use "and"?
"earned a Gold certification" → "further earned gold certifications"

Cert decapitalisations not done for same reasons as our discussions on prior GANs, since this is a matter of stylistic choice.

Music video

Mention that Sam Brown previously directed the visual for "Rolling in the Deep" per the source
The shooting date is not sourced

The date of shooting is sourced as being the same as "Easy on Me"'s release date from the NME source directly after the sentence.

"and it premiered on" → "and the video premiered on"

Final comments and verdict

On hold until all of the issues are fixed; that went to my expectations! --K. Peake 09:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's great to see you're on fire again, K. Peake! It is especially appreciated after some nominations sat out for months. All addressed!--N Ø 10:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MaranoFan No problem, had to step in for my duty after so many reviewers stopped! For the Australian certification, mention the year, also add url-access limited to the last Rolling Stone ref (72) and write US before the radio stations in the lead. --K. Peake 12:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: Done with the others but the Rolling Stone ref already has url-access limited in its code but isn't displaying it in the preview for some reason. If you're able to fix this, go ahead, or I guess we'll just have to ignore it.--N Ø 12:23, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MaranoFan ✓ Pass now, I have fixed the formatting for you! --K. Peake 12:47, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
