Video Section

this portion makes no sense, and it's partly POV. The clothing in Crazy was no more "sexy and skimpy" then a bra and hiked up skirt. Also, how is it not a remix? 69.209.199.118 (talk) 03:53, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Genre?

This song is NOT bubblegum pop! I should know, I am the ULTIMATE Britney fan (and no, I'm not Chris Crocker!).

I'm confused as to why this section is so short? By the looks of the chart table below, the song charted in a lot of territories. This section could definitely be expanded into a standalone section, not a sub section. Summarize them in these paragraphs: Oceanic (Australia and NZ), European and American. Then I will go through the section.

Why do you use instead of (...) for the names of remixes etc.?
Becase when it's a remix, the common is to use . When it's part of the song's name, we use (...). Since the song is (You Drive Me) Crazy, it would make much sense to use (YDM) C (...). That's what I think, but if it needs to be changed, then I'll do it. - Saulo 17:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

References

Resolved comments

Refs 1 and 2 are both Rolling Stone, but are formatted differently? 1's Rolling Stone isn't linked, but the second is. Should be the other way around. Wenner Media should be the publisher for both. Check other Rolling Stone references too.
Ref 7 has a missing publisher, which is Viacom
Ref 11 per consensus shouldn't actually have the url included.
Ref 12 doesn't need to be linked again.
Ref 15 doesn't need to be linked (Rolling Stone, Wenner Media). You only link them the first time you use them for references.
Ref 22 should be Official Charts Company
Ref 32 RPM is already linked in ref 31.
Ref 37 has missing work and publisher parameters
Ref 38 work is MTV Networks and the publisher is Viacom.
Ref 39 same as ref 38 and need to be unlinked
Ref 40 same as ref 38 and 39 and need to be unlinked.
Ref 41 they don't need to be linked again
Ref 43 they don't need to be linked again
Ref 45 title shouldn't be in capitals
Ref 46 they don't need to be linked again
Ref 48 they don't need to be linked again. You need to make sure that you are consistent with work and publisher parameters and that they are only linked the first time.
Ref 50, 51, 52, 53 Jive don't need to be linked again.
Ref 84 Amazon doesn't need to be checked again.

Orphaned references in (You Drive Me) Crazy

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of (You Drive Me) Crazy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "best":

From ...Baby One More Time (song): Trust, Gary (2012-06-05). "Ask Billboard: What Are Britney Spears' Best-Selling Singles?". Billboard. Nielsen Company. Archived from the original on 2013-09-26.
