Infobox and lead

• "Diana (remix)" → "Diana (Remix)" in the infobox
• Introduce who King Combs is
• The song itself features background vocals from Calboy, which should be mentioned as the second sentence
• The remix sentence should be moved to being next to the rest of the info about that version in the third para; it is out of place here
• "A remix featuring Calboy was" → "A remix of "Diana" that features Calboy was"
• "The song was written by" → "It was written by"
• "Stephen Garrett, Tim Mosley." → "Stephen Garrett, and Tim Mosley."
• "The track was produced by" → "The song was produced by"
• "of Playa's single, "Cheers 2 U". The lyrics" → "of Playa's "Cheers 2 U", while the lyrics"
• "performance but criticized King Combs" → "performance, though criticized King Combs'"
• "reached number 76 on the" → "reached number 76 on the US"
• "A music video for the remix of "Diana" was" → "An accompanying music video was" per the remix first sentence being moved here
• "features clips Pop Smoke" → "features clips of Pop Smoke"
• "and celebrating and dancing" → "while celebrating and dancing"
• "near luxury cars and women walking by them." → "near luxury cars and women." to avoid being too wordy/repetitive

Background and composition

• "was a song that Pop Smoke made" → "was made by Pop Smoke" to avoid being too wordy
• Pipe rough draft to Draft document
• "without King Kombs on it. Pop Smoke" → "without King Combs on it; he" to avoid too short sentences
• Pipe hook to Hook (music)
• "in the studio all night editing" → "in the studio all night, editing" per the source; they were stated as solely editing in the night
• "put a new verse on it" → "recorded a new verse for it"
• "with Pop Smoke and" → "with the rapper and" to avoid overstating his stage name

 Not done It will confuse readers as Pop Smoke and King Combs are both rappers

• Just change to "with him and" to avoid stating Pop Smoke's name twice in one sentence. --K. Peake 07:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "talk about when" → "talked about when"
• "was then going to release it." → "was deciding to release it." to be less repetitive
• "but they knew that" → "but the two knew that"
• Pipe ad-libs to Ad libitum

Writing and composition

• Merge with the above section as the second para, as single para sections are discouraged especially for GAs; you can moved writing/production info to the end of the first para for background and composition
• "Stephen Garrett, Tim Mosley." → "Stephen Garrett, and Tim Mosley."
• "was produced by" → "was solely produced by"
• The above info is supposed to be moved to the first para of the new section

• You did not move this, even though I specified twice during the review... --K. Peake 07:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• Pipe music critics to Music journalism

• The opening letter of the sentence is obviously supposed to be capitalised. --K. Peake 07:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "of Playa's 1998 single," → "of Playa's 1998 single" with the pipe
• I don't really think "throws" is appropriate for this section; maybe try something like "takes" instead?
• "mentioned Pop Smoke is" → "mentioned that the rapper is" to avoid overusing his stage name
• "with Balenciaga sneakers."" → "with Balenciaga sneakers"." per MOS:QUOTE (source does not mention it as a full set of sentences), with the wikilink

Release and reception

• "M.T. Richards for Consequence of Sound" → "M.T. Richards, for Consequence of Sound,"
• Swap [19] and [20] per the order of the charts listed

Music video

Background and synopsis

• Wikilink HipHopDX
• "in Los Angeles when the day after they found out Pop Smoke" → "in Los Angeles, until they found out the day after that the latter"
• "in the studio and" → "in the studio, and"
• It is not sourced that they are accompanied by friends

Critical reception

• A mention of the overview should be offered in the lead too
• MOS:QUOTE issues throughout here

• The "of the [song]." quote was not fixed. --K. Peake 07:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• "shooting the video in New York City was" → "appearing in New York City is"
• "opined with the track" → "opined that with the track"

Credits and personnel

• King Kombs → King Combs, plus shouldn't he come before Calboy since these are the credits for the original not the remix?

Charts

• Good

References

• Copyvio score looks fairly good at 29.6%!
• Make sure all of these are archived by using the tool
• Cite Uproxx as publisher instead for ref 9

• I just noticed that the above and ref 6 are duplicates, which has gotta be fixed. --K. Peake 07:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• Article was improved to GA status today. Obviously long enough and well-cited. Hook is interesting and properly cited, both here and in the body of the article. QPQ is taken care of, and no photo needed! Kncny11 ^(shoot) 21:44, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
