Hi, @PSA! I'll be reviewing this article at the end of the month, I guess. I know I'm leaving too many articles waiting, but I don't like seeing so many GANs without review page. Also, to take a risk and let go of my nerves. Best, Santi (talk) 15:19, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking this review, @Pollosito. Please take your time. I will return here in a week to remind you PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 00:31, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Santi pinging as a reminder PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 10:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @PSA. Still busy, sorry. Santi (talk) 17:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pollosito it's been a week - do you wish to go through with the review? PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 06:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~As the reviewer has gone on wikibreak, I have followed the steps at WP:GAN/I#N4a, and returned this nomination to the queue. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:29, 2 June 2024 (UTC)~~[reply]

@PSA: A thousand apologies for the delay. Without further ado, let's get started! Santi (talk) 02:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Media[edit]

Only if you consider it necessary can you put images in the article. I suggest because I find it a bit tiring to read a long article with little multimedia content. Santi (talk) 03:00, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Background[edit]

"many forthcoming videos would feature the same creative decision" In that context according to source, I guess it's better "tradition". Santi (talk) 02:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Not done. this feels like personal preference; I associate "tradition" often with something cultural, which does not fit here.
SZA had posted on Twitter two months prior to say that she was fine with having "Shirt" as a title, and she eventually picked it as the song's official name. With the first I don't have problem, but the second needs to be verified better, in my opinion. Santi (talk) 02:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- does it though? i mean considering we're looking at an article called "shirt", the second part is already an implicit fact. PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 03:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Ok. I will agree with that point. Sometimes I get to be super literal and come to very strange conclusions like in this case, a thousand apologies. So this section is passed. Santi (talk) 03:10, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Music and production[edit]

According to what I understand in the source, trap corresponds to "Blind", not "Shirt", or there is something I don't understand here. Santi (talk) 03:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
'Blind' traded in the 808s and trap flare for a bare-bones composition with a simple acoustic guitar accompanying her haunting voice. "traded...for" here means that the "trap flare" was "replaced with" an acoustic guitar backing . PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 03:39, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aaaa ok, sorry for my literalness (a bit embarassed right now [LOL?]). The repetition of "808s" said something to me in that moment. Santi (talk) 03:41, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
when COVID-19 was announced as a pandemic in March 2020. According to ref 34 (in fact, reuse it in this sentence), it's "before". Santi (talk) 18:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Kept. Darkchild says in the podcast episode: "Literally, the first...I think our session was like the first day of the announcement of the pandemic, actually. Just started that day, and SZA was pretty freaked out...'Shirt' was actually probably the first or second song that we did together that same day in 2020." COVID-19 was announced as a pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020, whereas SZA tweeted that she was with Darkchild on 13 March.
Regarding ref 33, I can't find any clear reference to what the article says in its written part, so I'll assume it's in the attached podcast episode, which I didn't manage to fully listen to due to time. Santi (talk) 18:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- If you go to the archive link and skip to around the 06:00 mark, you'll hear Darkchild talk about "Shirt", which is pretty much all the stuff that is said about the song on the episode. PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 01:41, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  @PSA: Thanks for the help. I never got to that minute XD, with good reason. Santi (talk) 02:13, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
