Is song the second or the third single off of Revolution Radio album?
[edit]I recently corrected the article from saying "Still Breathing" is the second single released from the Revolution Radio album, because that is what the sources in the article say and that's consistent with the article on the album. However, two editors have tried to change it back to "third", but without giving any explanation or providing sources that contradict what's there. We should establish which it is, though, if this is a matter of a reasonable difference of opinion. Dhtwiki (talk) 04:01, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Answer: The title track was the 2nd track released before the release of the album while Still Breathing was the 3rd track released (released alongside their lyric videos). But the tracks weren't released as singles for the album (along with music videos for the two singles) until after the album release. Still Breathing was released as their 2nd official single along with the video in November while Revolution Radio was their 3rd single in May 2017 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.76.227.59 (talk) 16:26, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- For the sake of clearing this up as a person attempting to improve this article: I am considering this the third single off of Revolution Radio because of WP:SINGLE? saying that the Official Charts Company's "new releases" page provides "accurate release dates for songs released as singles". Because this song appears on the New Releases page for September 24, 2016, and the song "Revolution Radio" appears on the New Releases page for September 10, 2016, I am treating both songs as singles, where "Revolution Radio" was the second and "Still Breathing" was the third.

Infobox
[edit]- "January 15 – July 24, 2016" → source plus add to the article.
- "Pop punk alternative rock" → should be in the body of the article
Lead
[edit]- Very small lead.
- who wrote and produced the song, release dates, add more detail regarding the official video (resume of plot, director of the video and so on), some background of the song.
- Needs serious work this section.
Background and composition
[edit]- "Armstrong wrote became "Bang Bang"," → Armstrong wrote was "Bang Bang",
- "than "Bang Bang"" → than the lead single
- Use
{{spaced ndash}}
Release
[edit]- was released as the second single from Revolution Radio on November 12, 2016 → where?
- The source says "Still Breathing" debuts on the Nov. 12 Mainstream Rock Songs" → release and debut are two very different things.
- Discogs is not a reliable source. But I get that you intended the back cover use "CiteAV Media" to quote that stuff or use a side note.
- Remove the Billie Joe Armstrong picture, its not from the video or anything like that.
Music video
[edit]- This shouldn't be under the release section.
- and feel content → use something else this sounds awful.
- Sources should be in an ascent order. Example: 8, 12, 18
Reception
[edit]- If you could add more two or three reviews wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
- Link Music Critics to music journalism.
Chart performance
[edit]- "The song also charted in Belgium (Ultratip Flanders), Czech Republic (Rádio Top 100 Oficiální), and Slovakia (Rádio Top 100 Oficiální)." → add the respective peaks.
- Use
{{spaced ndash}}
.
Track listing
[edit]- Missing sources.
- "All lyrics written by Billie Joe Armstrong;" → not according to the infobox
Charts
[edit]- Fine
References
[edit]- This section is a huge problem in here.
- First. Only link once when it first appears, for example, the first time that appears Rolling Stone you link it.
- Some works are under publisher and the other way around, you can have both, however, GA's can have only work from the sources. Example given: Billboard
- Missing authors in several articles.
External links
[edit]- Fine
Overall GA review
[edit]- Why there isn't a release history section with the process on top of it?
- Missing a personnel section with credits.
- No Live performances?
- This article needs some serious work and after addressing all these issues I will give it another review. It seems a bit rushed from your part. On hold for seven days for the first batch of changes. Good luck, anything ping me. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:42, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
@Yash!: are you up for this? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:45, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Good Article review progress box
|
I have looked through Talk:Still Breathing (Green Day song)/GA1 and believe all the comments from this initial review have been addressed, so thank you for that. Here are some new comments with my improvement suggestions are in bullet points:
1. Well-written
- Per MOS:LQ, punctuation marks for sentence fragments should come after quotation marks. There are some instances in the article where this is done correctly and others where it is wrong- make it consistent. --
Done
- "Still Breathing" was released as the third single of Revolution Radio on September 23, 2016 through a lyric video published to YouTube... Add a comma after "2016", and change "to YouTube" to "on YouTube". -- Changed sentence structure altogether to: "Still Breathing" was released on September 23, 2016 as the third single of Revolution Radio through a lyric video published on YouTube, and was made available for digital download the same day.
- Andy Greene of Rolling Stone commented that the lyrics seemed to reflect Armstrong's personal struggles, however Armstrong responded that he avoided introspection when writing the song's lyrics in lieu of "mak[ing] people happy" and "creat[ing] a difference in some way, just by people recognizing themselves in the song." What are the "personal struggles" being referred to here? I'm assuming it's addiction based on other sources (ex: 30), but I would add brief context. Split the sentence before "however", and add a comma after "however". Note this is one example where the period should come after the quotation marks. --
Done
- Add something from the live performances section to the lead, something along the lines of Green Day performed "Still Breathing" on the Revolution Radio Tour... --
Done
2. Verifiable
The article uses reliable sources. Copyvio detector is highlighting a properly-attributed quote.
- Some sources mention the song as the third single (ex) while others say it's the second (ex), could there be some clarification? -- See below or article's talk page
- 36 seems to be the incorrect source- this is the Canada charts but is supposed to cite US Hot Rock & Alternative Songs. --
Done
- 38 and 55 need to be combined using a ref. name instead of being listed twice separately. Same with 40 and 55 and others listed in both the Chart performance and Charts sections. --
Done
- Spot check
- No issues: 2, 7, 9, 11, 17, 22, 30, 33, 40, 46, 53, 65, 71
- Spot check
3. Broad
The article covers all major aspects of the song and stays focused on the topic.
4. Neutral
The article is neutral.
5. Stable
The article is stable day-to-day, and there are no content disputes.
6. Illustrated
The cover art and audio have non-free use rationale.
@Leafy46: Thank you for fixing the issues brought up in the failed review. I have a few more comments for you to address when you're back from your travels. -Riley1012 (talk) 19:53, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the review! I'll get along to fixing the page up (I was honestly worried it'd be a *lot* more since it's my first time around lol).
- In regards to your first point on Verifiable about the song being a second or third single, I also faced the same dilemma due to contradicting sources -- I believe that the difference comes from differing definitions of what constitutes a "single." I decided to treat "Still Breathing" as the third single because of the "New Releases" page of the Official Charts Company, the process of which I outlined on the talk page of the article. While I suppose this counts a bit as original research, it is easily verifiable and the only way in which I could definitively make the call given it's probably impractical to figure out why sources say various things. Hopefully this is enough? Let me know if you think it needs something more in the article. Leafy46 (talk) 00:06, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Riley1012: Forgot to ping, sorry! Leafy46 (talk) 00:09, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Leafy46: Okay, thanks for pointing out the talk page discussion. Could you add a footnote with this information citing the Official Charts Company after "Still Breathing" was released as the third single of Revolution Radio on September 23, 2016,? -Riley1012 (talk) 11:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Riley1012: With that added note, I believe that I've fixed everything you've pointed out. Is there anything else which requires attention? Leafy46 (talk) 14:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Leafy46: Looks good now, I will pass. -Riley1012 (talk) 16:55, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
