...Ready for It? → ...Ready For It? – The word "for" also capitalize based on YouTube and iTunes. Hddty. (talk) 14:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:25, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Hddty.: Not by Wikipedia rules. And should the initial dots be in the Wikipedia standard name? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:25, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As above. As for the inital dots, I disagree, since "Make Me...", "...Baby One More Time", ...But Seriously and ...And Justice for All articles also have dots in its titles. Music01 (talk) 11:57, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the word "for" is not capitalised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.191.1 (talk) 12:24, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Grammatically, "for" is a preposition and should be made lowercase. The word "like" in "Someone like You (Adele song)" is capitalized on iTunes but should be lowercase, technically. CB19 (talk) 22:01, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is Genius a credible source?

I'd like to add more analysis of the song's lyrics into the "writing and composition" section, and so I found out about a website that analyses songs, and it's genius.com. I'd like to ask - is the website a credible source? Nahnah4 (talk | contribs | guestbook) 04:55, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Genius is not credible, sorry. It's user-added content. Aleccat 11:41, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Key

"The song is performed in the key of E minor with a tempo of 160 beats per minute, with Swift's vocals spanning from G3 to E5."

The reference is to SongBPM. As I look, it gives the tempo but none of the other info in that sentence. So where has the rest of the info come from? Furthermore, according to my analysis the song is in a mixture of E minor and G major. — Smjg (talk) 15:13, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See this reference, and then scroll to "Product Information". There, the key and the vocal range is available. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 04:32, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Release date

Hi! I found out that before the release on the US radio this song was sent on Russian contemporary hit radio as single on september 11 2017. Should I change the release date to September 11? Source: https://tophit.ru/en/tracks/84043/ MemberDecember (talk) 15:27, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will review this nomination. – Editør (talk) 22:10, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article is new enough (promoted to GA on 21 May 2025), is long enough (12367 characters of prose), has no sourcing or copyright issues (per GA review), and presentable (per GA review and readthrough). The first hook is cited, short enough, and interesting; however, in the iHeart interview, Swift compares the metaphor used in the song/its lyrics to a metaphor from Crime and Punishment, but she doesn't say that the book was the actual source of inspiration for the lyrics, how I read it, it could also have been a similarity she discovered after the song was finished. So based on this source alone, this hook is problematic. Could you find another source that makes it clear that the book was the inspiration? If so, I would support the first hook. Or could you rephrase the hook to fit what Swift says in the interview? I think ALT1 is sort of okay, ALT2 seems a bit too random, ALT3 seems to divert attention to another song. QPQ is done. – Editør (talk) 22:42, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! I've tweaked ALT0 above. Lmk if it works, Ippantekina (talk) 09:34, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend not editing the hook, but adding a new alternative instead, because it gets confusing rather easily in these discussions. I think the hook doesn't need the quotation marks and could be shortened:

ALT4... that Taylor Swift compared the metaphors in her song "...Ready for It?" to those in the novel Crime and Punishment?

What do you think? – Editør (talk) 11:36, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok I didn't know the thing about editing hooks. Yes, ALT4 should work. Tysm, Ippantekina (talk) 03:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some people edit hooks, some people write alternatives.

I approve ALT4. – Editør (talk) 09:49, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
