I will be reviewing this in the next few days, thats if I don't get it done by the end of the day. dxneo (talk) 07:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Dxneo: I am not the nominator but I'm interested in this article so I've addressed most of the points that you raised, except the original version's personnel and the audio file. Let me know if anything that I've addressed needs further adjustments. Medxvo (talk) 21:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Infobox

[edit]

Lead

[edit]
  • "How You Get the Girl" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. ===> "How You Get the Girl" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is the problem "the" or "a song by"? This article and other articles within the Taylor Swift WProject adhere to WP:FALSETITLE, which is really helpful guide that is consistent through Swift's Wikipedia articles. Isn't "a song by" a better option since Swift wrote and produced the song, not only recorded it? I guess all of Swift's articles have "a song by" as well.

Background and releases

[edit]
  • The song was released on October 27, 2014, as 1989's tenth track. — this statement is unreferenced. You can you use Apple Music as a source or reuse one of the critics source. dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • "How You Get the Girl" charted in Canada (81)[10] and the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 (4).[11] The song received a platinum certification by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA),[12] a silver certification by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI),[13] and a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[14] ===> "How You Get the Girl" reached number 4 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, and it was awarded the gold certification by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA). It was also certified silver in the United Kingdom by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), and platinum in Australia by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is four minutes and seven seconds long.[22] "How You Get the Girl (Taylor's Version)" charted in Canada (34),[23] New Zealand (31),[24] and Billboard's US Hot 100 (40)[25] and Global 200 (29).[26] The song's top-40 entry on the Hot 100 chart extended Swift's record for the most top-40 chart entries by a female artist. — Please reference the above suggestion/correction to rephrase this. dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Swift ended her contract with Big Machine Records and signed with Republic Records in November 2018.[15] She began re-recording her first six studio albums in November 2020.[16] The decision followed a public dispute in 2019 between Swift and the talent manager Scooter Braun, who acquired Big Machine including the masters of Swift's albums which the label had released.[17][18] By re-recording the albums, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, which enabled her to control the licensing of her songs for commercial use and therefore substituted the Big Machine–owned masters.[19] — How's all of this relevant? dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I noticed that you did not say which label(s) released and re-released the songs in the lead and the body. Please add that information so that it can sync with the infobox. dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The song was produced by Swift and Christopher Rowe, who had produced her previous re-recordings. — Any reason why you only mentioned the producers and not the writers? dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Composition and critical reception

[edit]
  • The song is also about taking a good relationship for granted and letting it, only to want it back. ===> Is there a way you rephrase this? [my opinion] dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • "How You Get the Girl" has a guitar-based instrumental supported by bass beats. ===> "How You Get the Girl" features guitar-based instrumental supported by bass beats. dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see why Composition is even included on this section. This section is completely about critics. You can create a new section and group Composition and chart performance on it, because this is a little messy. I found Composition under Background and now this? Any suggestions? dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Live performances and usage in media

[edit]
  • In 2014, "How You Get the Girl" was used in a Diet Coke advertisement, where more and more cats appeared whenever Swift took a sip of a can of Diet Coke. — this statement is unreferenced. dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • "How You Get the Girl" was part of the permanent setlist of the 1989 World Tour (2015), where Swift performed it wearing a pink two-piece light up dress, accompanied by choreography inspired by the musical film Singin' in the Rain (1952). — unreferenced. dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • where more and more cats appeared whenever Swift took a sip of a can of Diet Coke. ===> where more and more cats appeared whenever Swift took a sip from a can of Diet Coke. dxneo (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
