This looks to be a well-researched article! --K. Peake 09:10, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• Either write DJ after German-Albanian disc jockey or use a different introduction, as elsewise the full stage name is not mentioned
• "and was produced by the" → "with production from the"
• "Musically, it is an uptempo Balkan and Mediterranean-influenced Albanian pop love song, with its Albanian-language lyrics reflecting" → "An uptempo Balkan and Mediterranean-influenced Albanian pop love song, its Albanian-language lyrics reflect" with the wikilink per MOS:LINK2SECT
• Change the first sentence of the second para to something like "Several music critics complimented the composition of "Ex" and the music video."
• "a colorful music video" → "an accompanying colorful music video"
• Remove the term official since that is not needed for the lead

Background and release

• Retitle to Background and composition, merging with the first para of the below section
• Pipe Bardhi to Bardhi (rapper)
• Wikilink Elvana Gjata
• You should instead write that Elvana Gjata announced her first collaboration with those other artists because only her Insta is in the source
• "depicts the muppet character" → "depicted the muppet character"

Music and lyrics

• Add info about the vocals/lyrics to the audio sample text
• The first para should be merged with the above section per it being too short for its own one
• "along with Gimi-O" → "along with DJ Gimi-O" per this not being the disc jockey's real name
• "It is an" → "Musically, "Ex" is an"
• "a Middle Eastern beat." → "a Middle Eastern-styled beat."
• "pain, and rejection," → "pain and rejection,"
• "In a review of Illyrian Pirates, the author" → "In a review for Illyrian Pirates, an author"
• Remove the lyrics include part from the end of the last para

Reception

• Create this section with the reviews and commercial reception in two separate paras

Music video

• Wikilink music video
• Add the release years of the two previous singles
• "garnered 10 million YouTube views in two weeks." → "garnered 10 million views in two weeks on the platform." plus the YouTube stats should come after the critics' comments
• "The latter further confessed that" → "They further confessed that"
• Write Gazette Metro instead
• "on the Swiss singles chart" → "on the Swiss Singles Chart" with the pipe
• "and listed "Ex" at number 20 for" → "on which "Ex" reached number 20 for"

Credits and personnel

• Where is the YouTube source here?

Track listing

• Remove this section because it is a one-track release and you've written out the length in prose

Charts

• For the Billboard chart, cite Switzerland Songs and then Billboard in brackets

Release history

• Good

References

• Copyvio score looks great at 28.1%!!!
• Remove the "on Apple Music" parts from the citations of ref 3, adding the countries in brackets after publishers instead
• Remove "on Spotify" from ref 4
• Cite YouTube in the via parameter instead on refs 6 and 10
• What exactly makes ref 11 a reliable source?

I replaced it with a better one from a more established online website. Iaof2017 (talk) 14:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed! --K. Peake 10:24, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Kyle Peake: nice to hear from you again. I fixed all the issues above. Iaof2017 (talk) 14:08, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Iaof2017 Nice job there, but you still need to remove the lyrics part from the last para of comp and cite YouTube in the via parameter of refs. --K. Peake 08:09, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay Kyle Peake, I've already fixed the comment with the YouTube parameter. Iaof2017 (talk) 13:16, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Iaof2017 It appears elsewise actually, as it is currently cited in the publisher parameter. --K. Peake 18:41, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey Kyle Peake, I'm not sure what you mean by that cause I've already cited YouTube in the parameter of ref [11] ([6]) and [17] ([10]). :O Iaof2017 (talk) 19:54, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I got it now, my bad! ^^ Iaof2017 (talk) 20:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
