I've listed this article for peer review because it is too short to go to WP:GAN but I'd still like to receive comments on what could be done to improve the article – mostly prose-related issues. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 21:48, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed a little wording. Not much to improve or work on. Looks good to me.RyanHoliday (talk) 00:22, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ThinkBlue's comment
  • This sentence ---> ""What's It Gonna Be" was originally released as a promotional recording by Columbia Records and as a physical release with the L'Oréal logo on the cover because of the song's use in Knowles' advertisements for L'Oréal", the statement "physical" release, what exactly does that mean?

  • A release (like Cd singles, vinyls, casettes, ect.) excluding downloadable formats. --Efe (talk) 02:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Realist2:

  • Do you have a page number for current ref #1?
  • Could do with a personnel section at the bottom.
    • I will add more gradually as it comes to me. — Realist2 15:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think Beyonce has personnel as her songs are usually using samples and such? Gary King (talk) 17:44, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dunno, I've only ever bought the odd single by her. Efe would know, ask him. :-) — Realist2 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well I checked a few Beyonce song FAs and GAs and none have Personnel. Gary King (talk) 17:50, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is, in some B'Day-related articles. I got the CD so I have the source. =) --Efe (talk) 02:49, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright; please add them if you can, thanks! :) Gary King (talk) 15:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. I don't have a copy of the CD. --Efe (talk) 05:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs):

  • "A 7" promo single containing the song along with instrumental and a cappella versions and the same three different versions of Faith Evans' cover of Donna Summer's 1978 "Heaven Knows" (which was part of the official soundtrack to The Fighting Temptations) was released." Run-on sentence.
  • Any external links (music videos, official lyrics, etc.)?
  • Information about themes, music videos, and music features could be put in, only if there's info.

Not many comments, but then, it's a short article. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:32, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did the first point. The rest will be difficult; this article is indeed short and that is because it isn't a popular single so there isn't much information about it. Gary King (talk) 03:37, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I figured. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:39, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
