Large parts of this article ("Song information" and "Criticism" in particular) are severely lacking in sources, and sounds much as if the author is pushing a thesis. I personally happen to agree with that thesis, but it's not particularly encyclopaedic in tone. I feel it's best if interpretations of the song are cited from independent sources. Surely anything else would be original research? The "Criticism" section has no citations at all as of yet, and should be reworked as soon as possible.

Not properly sourced and very opinonated.
This page has continuously been edited to remove non-factual information and opinions only for it to continuously be reverted back to it's original form. Most citations on the page are either from illegitimate and/or vague sources (I.E. Youtube comment sections or personal blogs) or sources that don't say any of the things they are being cited for. Just because you put a citation next to a piece of writing doesn't automatically make it a proper citation. If the source of the citation is not reputable or if it does not actually say any of the things you cite it for then it isn't a real citation. I will be contacting an admin if this page doesn't get cleaned up soon. — Preceding

The article includes none of the aforementioned issues
The article has been edited by various people so that now none of the above mentioned issues exist in the article. Please disregard the "Original research and interpretation" and "Not properly sourced and very opinonated" sections of this page because they are now irrelevant to the discussion on this talk page since the article has now been edited to fix those issues.

Gcock2k10, I reverted you for
a valid reason. Per
WP:Talk, you should not delete talk page comments once matters are resolved. All you need to do is comment in the section on the talk page that the problems no longer exist. We have
WP:Archiving for putting away past talk page matters. Either way,
as noted, I am taking this
WP:Edit war of an article off my
WP:Watchlist since it is being edited by people who don't know how to properly edit Wikipedia, including those who are clearly
WP:Socking.

Flyer22, I was not aware of this
WP:Socking thing and made a few edits myself without signing in out of laziness, and I've been using my browser's "in private" option, which supposedly hides my IP info, so if I committed
WP:Socking then it was by mistake. This has completely discouraged me from ever making Wikipedia edits again. To find out further info on this article's topic, I will simply use resources other than Wikipedia. Thanks for opening my eyes. --

Why were various Billboard charting peaks removed?
The chart info of the single's peak positions on various
Billboard R&B/Hip Hop charts was removed, currently leaving only two chart positions even though the song has charted on more than two charts. The charting peak info was taken from Billboard[1] and was a part of this article before being removed by
Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (
talk). Was it because the various R&B/Hip Hop charts do not matter to the person who removed that information? There was no clear reason given as to why those peak position numbers were removed. Why are there only two chart peak numbers currently listed in this article when the single has appeared on many more charts as previously referenced? --

Please note that digital sales are merely components which define the main charts, which use sales, streaming and airplay data to determine the overall position on those charts. Since the song has reached the main chart, inclusion of sales charts becomes somewhat overkill. This is explained at
WP:CHARTMATH. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me06:41, 12 July 2015 (UTC)reply
