"I'm Your Baby Tonight" is an R&B song, and does not fit into the subgenre of New Jack Swing on any level. Editors on Wikipedia arbitrarily tact on whatever the trendy subgenre was happening during the same period to the genres section of song articles, even when the songs themselves don't fall into that designation. I propose that this gets removed immediately. The Real One Returns (talk) 23:14, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking you should list it as "disco", NOT "new jack swing". Monkeylady999 (talk) 07:35, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

• Only list new jack swing in the infobox since the other two are influences
• Add the release year of her album of the same name
• "and most European countries it was" → "and most European countries, it was"
• The Billboard 200 part is not relevant enough for the lead, also are you sure that the "not black enough" part is either?

I think it is, it gives background information as to why Houston decided to focus on the black public and record the track

• "she chose to work with" → "Houston chose to work with"
• "produced boyfriend Bobby Brown's 1989 album" → "produced her boyfriend Bobby Brown's 1989 album,"
• Shouldn't the song being one of the last recorded be mentioned?
• "it was generally well-received by most critics," → "the song was generally well-received by music critics,"
• Should "street-oriented" really be in quotes when only one reviewer actually wrote that?
• The #1990s part is not needed
• "it is now considered one" → "it has been considered one"
• "It was also" → "The song was also"
• "successful; in the United States, it become Houston's eight number one on the" → "successful, becoming Houston's eighth number one on the US"
• The Switzerland position is not written out anywhere in the body
• Lowercase the Supremes per
  MOS:THEMUSIC
• "as tribute to Houston" → "in tribute to Houston" however, this para is too short so try to split the previous one at a different point

 Done

Background

• Img looks good!
• Mention that it is her self-titled second studio album

I believe how I wrote it works fine, since Whitney Houston actually has two self-titled albums: 1985's Whitney Houston and 1987's Whitney, and I don't want to mention the word "Whitney" twice.

• "to debut atop the Billboard 200." → "to debut atop the US Billboard 200."
• "chastised Houston for "playing it safe"," → "chastised how Houston "plays everything safe"," per the source
• Remove capitalization for adult contemporary music
• "but I wasn't"." → if this is a full sentence, then the punctuation should be inside the quote
• "attitude" inspired Houston." → "attitude" inspired the singer."
• Remove the comma after third studio album

 Done

Composition and release

• Audio sample looks good!
• Remove pipe on keyboards
• "Musically, it has been described" → "Musically, "I'm Your Baby Tonight" has been described"
• Black church should not be capitalized unless the source does that, also why is dance piped to dance pop not dance music?
• "unlike her past songs, it doesn't" → "unlike her past songs, the track fails to"
• Wikilink tempo
• Wikilink chord progression
• [6] should solely be at the end of the sentence
• "Breihan held that it's the word" → "Breihan held that it is the word"

 Done

Critical reception

• "received generally positive reviews" → "was met with generally positive reviews"
• "who called it a "sure hit" and" → "who called the song a "sure hit", and"
• "Tom Breihan wrote that, despite its" → "Breihan wrote that, despite the"
• "more and more fun"." → "more and more fun."" per
  MOS:QUOTE
  on full sentences
• "is what's required"." → "is what's required."" per above
• "considered it Houston's" → "considered "I'm Your Baby Tonight" Houston's"
• A poll conducted of Rolling Stone readers found the song to be Houston's eighth best, so alter accordingly
• "saying it was a" → "saying the song is a"
• "For BET, it is" → "For BET, the song is"

 Done

Commercial performance

• Img looks good!
• "for shipment of 500,000 copies;" → "for shipments of 500,000 copies in the US;"
• "Houston's eight number one" → "Houston's eighth number one"
• Is "up at the time" really a good way of wording it?
• "In Australia, it entered the" → "In Australia, the song entered the"
• Why is the Switzerland position not mentioned here when it is in the lead?

 Done

Music video, live performances and covers

• Img looks good!
• Shouldn't the choreography sentence read that Adam Shankman was in charge of choreography?
• Lowercase the Supremes per MOS:THEMUSIC
• "candy-colored dresses" and focused" → "candy-colored dresses", and focused"
• "Christina Aguilera and" → "Christina Aguilera, and"
• "On early 1991," → "In early 1991,"
• Mention the year of the Welcome Home special
• "as tribute to Houston." → "as a tribute to Houston."

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; that went rather quickly! --K. Peake 12:27, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed most of the issues addressed; will be back later to finish the rest. --Christian (talk) 14:38, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed (almost) all the points addressed, I just have some questions I hope you can clear up for me :) @Kyle Peake: --Christian (talk) 23:02, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 The only things I have left to comment are that you could identify the album as her second self-titled album, I meant to add the via parameter to those refs with Google Books and ref 87 needs date formatting fixed. --K. Peake 10:44, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: Ref 87 is an embedded template for the certifications, is there a way to change it? My doubt regarding the google books via parameter is, do they go on the Bibliography section? Can you provide an example? --Christian (talk) 16:36, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishm21 The problem is with the access date, which obviously can be fixed and the bibliography section gives no links to Google Books, so no. --K. Peake 10:21, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Kyle Peake:, happy new year :D ! I'm still not sure on the google books/via you're mentioning, could you provide an example? I also haven't figured out a way to modifiy an existing template (regarding the certification) :/ --Christian (talk) 00:57, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• @Chrishm21: I mean sources like 7 that are on Google Books; add this parameter to them and all you need to do is change the access-date, which can be done for a template since someone obviously set that part in the first place. --K. Peake 09:06, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: hello! I have modify the certification template; let me know if that is OK--Christian (talk) 23:42, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• ✓ Pass now, good job on finally fixing those issues after we went back and forth on them! --K. Peake 11:23, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
