Checking against GA Criteria

• taken from her second mainstream studio album Teenage Dream (2010) --> it's her third studio album, let's not beat around the bush.

 Done

• Christopher "Tricky" Stewart; with the latter --> incorrect use of semi-colon

 Done

• songs --> song's

 Done

• The song was inspired by --> repetition of 'the song' from previous sentence, and is name is Russell not Russel.

 Done

• Link music critics

 Done

• ..many of which --> many of whom

 Done

• ..peaking at 124, respectively --> 'respectively'? Seriously?

 Not done I don't really see the problem, it finishes the sentence smoothly. Do you have any suggestions of what to change it to?

You don't see the problem? 'Respectively' is used when referring to two or more items, in this case there is only one chart position of South Korea.

• According to digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony-ATV Music Publishing --> unnecessary
• MTV News should NOT be in italics
• The lead sentence of the reception section needs a bit of a copyedit.
• As said before, 'the song' is a bit repetitive.
• ..said the song fit well with the original --> fit?
• ..and if released as a single, would help Perry be the only artist with six number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 --> I don't find this necessary here, it's just a bit out of place
• Why is there no mention of the song charting?
• About.com and MTV News should not be in italics
• Ref #10, Capitol Records does not belong there. It should be iTunes Store and Apple Inc.
• Why is there no mention in the article's body that the song was inspired by Russell Brand?
• The article is ABSOLUTELY NOT broad in its coverage.

Overall

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

This is an extremely short article. On hold to see if some serious improvements can be made. Till 07:46, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

As some of the issues haven't been addressed in the 8-day period, including a decent expansion, I'm failing this GAN. The article can be renominated at any time but I would suggest fixing these issues. Thanks. Till 00:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Single or not a single

In my research, I have not found any reliable sources indicating this song was ever released as a single. "Wide Awake" was also officially declared as the end of the "Teenage Dream" era. Her songs "Pearl" and "Who Am I Living For?" have articles, but were never singles. If anything, this song may have been more like a promotional single, though. Thesomeone987 (talk) 21:27, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

The Music Network, Australia's equivalent of Billboard, spoke of "Hummingbird" being serviced to Australian radio. Pop Crush says it would be the ninth single in the UK and Australia, however, I live in the UK and can verify it was never serviced or played on UK radio. In AUS charts are not compiled by Airplay thus this should probably be noted as a promotional single as it was never released for digital download and AUS seems to to be the only country where it was serviced to radio.

PopCrush isn't exactly a reliable source, just saying. Living in the USA, I never heard anything about it on the radio and it never played for us either. If TheMusicNetwork is equivalent is Billboard, then that should be used in place of PopCrush, as Billboard is known to be very reputable. Since you mentioned it, playing a song in one country alone really isn't enough to make it an official single. Thesomeone987 (talk) 02:06, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what country a song is released in; it doesn't make it a single or not a single. It's an Australian-only single.  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 02:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

In any case, it should be listed in chronology for "Promotional singles" rather than "singles" chronology. Thesomeone987 (talk) 03:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

A promotional single is a song that is released for free of charge (please make yourself familiar with what a promo single actually is). Unless there's a specific source calling it a promo single (which none has been provided, and there is one calling it a single), it's a single. Case closed.  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 03:23, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Whatever Status, the problems remain of the article starting with "Humbingbird Heartbeat is a song...." but the Infobox stating "Single by Katy Perry"'. For the people who don't follow fanzine articles that's pretty ambiguous. So I changed the intro to help make it a little clearer, but you reverted me without saying why. Please explain. Moriori (talk) 03:50, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I fixed the problem. I hadn't realized the lead didn't mention it's release as a single. Now it's there twice. The first sentence is how it is a song recorded by her. This is following proper formatting of a song article.  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 04:12, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

The YouTube trailer for Wide Awake specifically stated that it, not Hummingbird Heartbeat, would be Teenage Dream's last single. Every KatyCat I've talked to says Wide Awake (or perhaps KP3D) officially ends the Teenage Dream era. It's like Peacock- "charted" in some instances, but NOT a single. 64.30.14.50 (talk) 03:30, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
