NOT A SINGLE[edit]

Kill The Lights is NOT a single. A video was made from a "fan site". The art work is fake also. This needs to be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelB722 (talk • contribs) 04:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not Promo Single[edit]

The video was made through her official site. however its just to promote the album, and get the fans involved. I Think the Article should be kept up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apeaboutsims (talk • contribs) 06:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changed! PlatinumFire (talk) 11:52, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Britney Spears singles navbox[edit]

Since there seem to be differing opinions about adding {{Britney Spears singles}} to this article: "Kill the Lights" hasn't been released as a single of course, but that template lists Spears's other notable songs as well, among them "Kill the Lights". I think it should of course be added here.
Opinions?Amalthea 17:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I keep adding it but someone keeps removing it! All other songs in the Notable Songs section have the template in their articles so Kill the Lights also should have it! PlatinumFire (talk) 13:36, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CD SINGLE?!?!?!?!?![edit]

Can someone verify this? Haven't heard it anywhere.User:Cprice1000 (Cprice1000 14:34, 1 August 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Kill the Lights → Kill the Lights (song) – It needs to be disambiguated in some way to avoid confusion with The New Cities album "Kill the Lights (album)" DanielFarad (talk) 22:39, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Not needed (yet) per WP:TWODABS. Add a hatnote to this article instead. The album itself doesn't exist yet so wait for its release to weigh notability. — AjaxSmack 02:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1 Disemg link Done
2 Dead links Done only one, still searching for the other one... - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:48, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

that talks about the singer's relationship -> that alludes too Done
who considered the song a sequel -> it Done
considered, considered Done
rmv did Done
italicize Billboard Done
and visiting another planet full of lights -> I expect better grammar Done
was featured Done

Background[edit]

Link LR Done
confirmed development of the album -> GR (What is this? - Sauloviegas (talk) 09:47, 2 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]
- Grammar. Re-write.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:36, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That long sentence should be separated and proper punctuation should be placed Done
He said he was inspired by Hans Zimmer's scores, such as Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks -> He credited "" as a primary source of inspiration
On November 13, 2008, the song leaked a month before the album's official release -> Th song leaked on November 13, 2008, a full month before the album's official release
on the forth season
How was it featured? (Played, intro song. etc.?)
along with "Circus"' Junior Vasquez Club Circus Remix. -> rmv double quote. Also, better "the Junior Vasquez Club Circus Remix of "Circus".

Composition[edit]

The sample needs a much more in depth descriptive rational (with sources)
that talks about -> again
was considered as a sequel of it, -> was considered its sequel
the fact that Spears is introduced by Danja as "Our very own Pop princess / Now Queen of Pop" -> Why?
claiming the singer's vocals are heavily processed in the song -> while describing her vocals as heavily produced

Reception[edit]

"Kill the Lights" received positive reviews from music critics -> NPOV. There are negative reviews as well
Too many "ands" being used as connectors
Too many "saids"
me","
Link TS
Link Madonna
MoS issues. When in quotes, the album should appear 'Blackout'
This section needs a lot of tightening
On the dated
while its host album Circus -> parent
sixty-nine on Pop 100,
seventy-two on Pop 100 Airplay

Music video[edit]

No need to write "Britney.com". -> Official website is enough
The winner of the contest would get to see their story becoming a plot for an official music video of a song -> needs significant re-writing
for "Kill the Lights" title "Known Everywhere", that was revealed on February 11, 2009, -> Read this out loud. You are missing some things
are in the back taking -> background?
Right after, wee see an animated Spears -> poor writing; also, your hand appeared to have gone numb while pressing the E key :P
he last three lines really need more professional writing

Credits[edit]

The source should be introduced. Look at The Emancipation of Mimi to understand

References[edit]

Several are missing accessdates
1. 1 should appear in italics and as People, not People.com. Also, you are missing a publisher
Same for 2
What's with 3?
What makes 5 reliable?
6 should appear in a more detailed format
Why does Britney.com appear in both italics and not?
10; publisher?
11 needs work
Several newspapers require you to use the "cite news" template; #s 22, 23
Similar issues persist. Why is Allmusic is italics?
- Article is now placed on hold. Any questions and/or concerns will be replied to here. Good luck.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:36, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think I have fixed everything. Take a look and tell me if there is something still. :) - Sauloviegas (talk) 17:21, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work Salo. I'm passing :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 12:47, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's kind of weird reading it saying that there are "mixed" reviews, when only one review here is actually negative, if it must be qualified, it should say "mostly positive reviews", so I'm going to change it to that. --WikiDonn (talk) 06:13, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
