Talk:God Control

Actually, "God Control" was never confirmed as a single by Madonna, her team, or her label. It's written just as a "song" with a music video. Both "Medellín" and "Crave" were officially sent to radio. Bluesatellite (talk) 05:53, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Background and synopsis

• Thousand Oaks shootings.[20][23][25][24] → four source in a row make the text very clunky, lets make a maximum of three
• Regarding the statement above, a full stop midsentece would do the trick with the respective sources.
• across the screen → remove
• The image should appear first

What do you mean @MarioSoulTruthFan:?--Christian (talk) 17:47, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I mean put the image on top of the section. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I decided tu put the image there, as it was next to the actual synopsis of the video, but I've changed it.--Christian (talk) 17:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Done

Reception

• There is no need for the quote box to disrupte another section, it could be above or make it a litlle bit bigger

I left it here as it looked (on my computer) aesthetically pleasing, it didn't 'cut' or overlapped text or the other section. Let me know if I should change it.

So it depends on the screen I see, move it to the top of the section like the previous image. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All done @MarioSoulTruthFan: (I've also made it a little wider.--Christian (talk) 19:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Ryan Reed from Rolling Stone quotes are giving a copyright violation of 54% you need to fix that, use your own words.
• Same as previous apply to People magazine quotes but in much lesser degree

Let me know if this and previous points are correct now

• using her "platform" to raise awareness → I don't unsertand this, can you explain it?

That's how the sources quotes it; changed it to "bringing awareness", let me know if it's correct

Much better. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Done

Live performances

• Madonna then appeared decked in a Revolutionary War attire → not on given source

From Variety Source: ...like when she does the Hustle in the aforementioned Revolutionary War costume during “God Control”

 Done

Credits and personnel

• Mastering and mixing?

I tried to search for the album's complete credits but I couldn't find them; the liner notes don't list the either. Just the writers, producers and backing vocals

It's fine. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioSoulTruthFan: I think I finally got the reduction of the Rolling Stone 'violation' fixed; let me know if it works. Also, out of topic, but I seem to remember there was a tool here in wiki that helped you see how much quotations you were using on an article, do you know which one is it?--Christian (talk) 19:26, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
