@Cwmhiraeth: seems like someone moved it anyway. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:18, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Perhaps @JalenFolf: was unaware of the move discussion. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:00, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus was reached and only one person disagreed with the move. Besides, there is no other page with this name, its an unnecessary disambiguation that could easily be cleared up with a note atop the page. Gagaluv1 (talk) 16:43, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth:, it may be that @JalenFolf: was cleaning up after Gagaluv1 decided to plough ahead regardless. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:10, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus was reached and only one editor objected so I acted via

Infobox

• The archive source doesn't work proprely, it keeps loading, on top of that there is no need for it here
• Why the tracklist? remove it

It's a thing more non-single tracks share. It is an alternative for a chronology—which non-album singles don't have. It may facilitate things for users (to skip through an album's songs), so I suggest letting it stand as it is right now.

Fine then. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:13, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• It was never released as a single, promotional or stande alone track, so the formats "Digital download and streaming" don't apply here as you had to put CD from the album as well and on and so forth

 Done

Lead

• replicating the feeling of being exhaled smoke at → replicating the feeling of secondhand smoke
• it was notably certified platinum in the United States → it was certified platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

 Done

Background and creation

• Re-title "Background"
• Artists such as Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, Feist and Michael Bublé influenced them during the creation process → how?
• Mastering and mixing was handled by the studio personnel John Greenham and Rob Kinelski, respectively → Mastering and mixing were handled by John Greenham and Rob Kinelski, respectively

 Done

Lyrics and composition

• The track's title references the Xanax drug, whose use Hannah Rose Ewens of The Guardian felt → I can see where you are coming from, but it needs to be reprashed as it sound like The Guardian writer is using it
• 54–56 beats per minute → source says 55 + wikilink beats per minute

The source says 54-56; you have to look at the top of the sheet music on the left

• From the insider source → You should also mention the "distorted bass and staccato drum beats."

The distorted bass is already mentioned, since I say "similarly deformed bass"

 Done

Reception

• In more negative reviews → In a negative review  Not done; cant be more because it implies the others were already negative which is not true

Whoops, sorry, I did not see that you also removed "more". Done now. Cartoon network freak (talk) 05:36, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• above "My Strange Addiction", "I Love You", "Ilomilo", "Listen Before I Go" and "8" → remove all of this, we get the idea from the previous sentence
• 4 references in a row make the text very clunky, but I have no clue what to do about it...maybe remove one of the countries?

 Done

Promotion

• A screenshot from the minimalistic music video, featuring disembodied hands forcing cigarette butts into the face of a brunette Eilish, leaving burns. → A screenshot from the video, featuring disembodied hands forcing cigarette butts into the face of Eilish, leaving burns.
• Setlist.fm is not a reliable source (user-generated) and I'm sure you can find a better source than the the youtube one, for instance reference 11 from MTV.
• MTV International → she was artist push of April it was during that time, in order to celebrate that
• The song was also included on the setlist of Eilish's When We All Fall Asleep Tour (2019). → find another source to replace setlist.fm
• Whilst performed at Pukkelpop in August,[26] "Xanny" was eventually added to the singer's 2020 Where Do We Go? World Tour → "Xanny" was performed at Pukkelpop in August 2019 and, eventually, added to the singer's 2020 Where Do We Go? World Tour
• The clip → The music video

 Done

Credits and personnel

• Use {{
  spaced ndash
  }}
• Remove the words "studio personnel", as it is quite broad in its definiton and we already know if they were mixing, mastering, etc...
• Any specific order here?

Sorted by last names now

 Done

Charts

• Use one of the automatic single entrys in here for Ireland

 Done

Certifications

• Fine

References

• All the Setlist.fm sources→ remove, the explanation is above

I searched the internet for about 30 minutes, and I could find no source reporting that she performed "Xanny" at Coachella. But she actually performed it, there is footage of it online. Do you know what I could do? Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is the footage from her official Youtube channel or related to her label? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:13, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioSoulTruthFan: Sadly, no. There is only fan footage of her performance. Cartoon network freak (talk) 05:38, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then there is nothing to be done, you nedd to remove the information. If in the meantime you find a reliable source, just added it back. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:46, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

@MarioSoulTruthFan: Done everything apart where commented on. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioSoulTruthFan: Removed the Coachella info. Additionally, I also removed the "studio personnel" since I initally forgot to. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 14:02, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
