I'll review this. (I GA'd Roar (song).) -- Zanimum (talk) 01:26, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Passing "Track listing", "Credits and personnel", "Charts", "Certifications". -- Zanimum (talk) 01:42, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Look forward to your input! XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 15:08, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Development

"au naturale [sic]"..... I think we're safe to assume that Perry meant the correct spelling. Since it was the outlet's mistake, are we allowed to fix it?

I see no reason not to

Passing "Recording".

Composition

The first sentence of Legendary Lovers is cited, the second isn't. Where is the "arabesque gallop" quote from?

Removed second sentence due to lack of source

What channel is the video of Katy/Stevie/Arianna on? YouTube is only the host of the content, not the creator.

Sirius XM, which has now been added

I'm wondering if you might be better shortening critics' names to their last name? I didn't immediately clue in that they were all quoted before. I think last name only is standard, for latter references to critics.

Done

Release and promotion

This section (and you're not alone on this) has a bit of "we wrote this for Siri to understand." Human readers will notice the pattern in the date gradually increasing, and they'll naturally assume that, unless you say otherwise, all of the dates will be in 2013, until you finally say they're in 2014. Keep the first 2013 of any paragraph, keep a few key 2013s scattered throughout each paragraph (release dates, etc), but Los Angeles listening parties and GMA cover reveals are obviously 2013, without clarification.

How is it now?

What's a hotsite? I knock hotlinks and microsites (a commercially branded section of a larger website), but I don't know hotsite.

In this case, a host site of some sort. I've clarified that Pepsi provided the samples.

So Aussie border guards would ask "are you carrying any fire arms, explosives, Katy Perry albums?" Was this literally looking through people's luggage, or for mass imports?

Removed due to lack of significance

Singles

Can you try and rewrite the paragraph about "Dark Horse"? You mention the name "Hot Digital Songs" twice in very close succession, link to that page twice in one sentence (ironically neither link being from that text), and use the word single incessantly. None of the content itself is bad, but the prose is not up to the level of the rest of the article. You're not giving readers incentive to keep focused on this paragraph.

Is it better now? XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 03:05, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes!

Aloha... -- Zanimum (talk) 00:41, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Passing "Critical reception", but you may consider having the refs in the article as well as the "Professional ratings" box. It took me a second to figure out why there were some quotes with references, and some without.

Passing "Commercial performance", "References". Congrats on the GA! -- Zanimum (talk) 23:14, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adding those refs will be no problem, and thanks again for passing :D! XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 23:59, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
