First look through

• 1 disambiguation wikilink, one suspicious url/link and one expiring news link. Try to fix them. :)

disambiguation wikilink  Fixed Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One Thirty BPM, hmm i can assure you it is a reliable link. Metacritic counts it. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 13:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

• Missing year of song recording.  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

• ""Love on Top" consists of six key changes." I think it would be better if you moved this phrase to the end of the first paragraph, were you talk about Knowles' rarely used high range.  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "After Knowles' performance of "Love on top" at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards" -> "After Knowles' performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards". You already talked about the performance, so there is no point to repeat the song title again. But, if you feel or decide to keep it: "Love on top" -> "Love on Top".

 Done I fixed it according to your first suggestion. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• ""Love on Top" also appeared at number 75 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 14 on the New Zealand Singles Chart in early September 2011." -> ""Love on Top" also appeared at number seventy-five on the UK Singles Chart and at number fourteen on the New Zealand Singles Chart in early September 2011."

I disagree here per WP:NUMBERS. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't knew about that! :O - Sauloviegas (talk) 13:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Background and development

• ""Love on Top" was written by Beyoncé Knowles, Terius Nash and Shea Taylor and was produced by Knowles and Taylor." - > ""Love on Top" was written by Beyoncé Knowles, Terius Nash and Shea Taylor, while song production was done by Knowles and Taylor."  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Music style and lyrics

• Re-title to "Composition".  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did it although i think the previous title was the best as critics laid much emphasis on the music style. 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Critical reception

• "Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine gave "Love on Top" a positive review". Every review before this one has been positive. Why specify that he gave a positive review to the song? He gave the album a negative review? (I hope you understood what I'm saying :) ).  Fixed Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly compared Knowles' work on "Love on Top" to that of past idols such as Luther Vandross and Diana Ross, but felt the tone overshadowed Knowles' style, stating "she gets lost in her idols' polyester-swathed shadows."" This is the only one that sounds mixed... If it really is, I think you should note this one as mixed, instead of noting the review above as positive.  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chart performance

• You used the same url for the three references about South Korea's Gaon chart.

It is because they cannot be archived. But i did mention the dates needed. Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:29, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• "After Knowles' performance of "Love on top"" -> "After Knowles' performance of "Love on Top""  Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "Similarly owning to the live performance". This sounds weird!  Fixed Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Live performances

• Ok, about the picture. It isn't a screenshot. It looks like a professional copyrighted picture. I can tell because this is the actual screenshot, and this is copyrighted to Jeff Kravitz and FilmMagic. Either remove this or replace with the actual screenshot.

Thank you for the image. Where can i watch the video? All the videos were removed form YouTube. Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where... :( I couldn't watch the VMAs and I'm dying to see the performance. I found this screencapture at Google, but it actually is a screencapture. - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:29, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

• I'll continue the review later. :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 19:27, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Since the song now has a confirmed radio date, thus making it a single, I think that this review should be closed, or at least put on hold for a while. A lot more information will be added within the next few weeks/month(s). — Status {^talk_contribs  21:40, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  If it is really confirmed as a single by her team or Beyoncé herself, I will withdraw the nomination. - Sauloviegas (talk) 22:14, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am still waiting for her team to confirm. I hope we can continue with the GAR for now. Jivesh • Talk2Me 04:29, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Continued. :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 13:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All  Done. Jivesh • Talk2Me 17:32, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A label or team does not need to confirm a single... — Status {^talk_contribs  19:22, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beyonce's team does so everytime. So please zip it up now. I am just fed up of you. I do not want to be rude but you are making my blood boil. Seriously. This is too much. Jivesh • Talk2Me 19:37, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, it is a single or not? Otherwise, I'll have to see if I'll pass this article or withdraw the nomination. - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:32, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As you see people on Wikipedia re very stubborn. I will tell you for sure tomorrow. Please bear with me. And thanks for being so kind. Jivesh • Talk2Me 13:08, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I can wait. :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 20:52, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Released!!! Jivesh • Talk2Me 16:44, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, what do you want me to do? Withdraw for now or just wait after another single is released and everything is done? - Sauloviegas (talk) 21:28, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes my friend. And thanks for your patience and kindness. Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 04:10, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you're welcome, pal! :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:31, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And call me if you nominate it again, ok? :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:36, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 09:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why does it appear as a fail on the talk-page? Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 09:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because the only way to withdraw the nomination is fail. It is said on the good article nominess page. - Sauloviegas (talk) 19:48, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ooooppppss, okay. Jivesh boodhun (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 04:42, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
