• ... that Green Day wrote a tribute song for Amy Winehouse following her death, despite never having met her? Source:『Winehouse had died the year prior to the release of the albums, and even though she didn’t have a direct connection to the California stadium punks, Green Day still felt the desire to pay tribute to the fallen singer. That’s how ¡Dos! ended up with a melancholy guitar and vocal track, ‘Amy’, as its final song.』[1]

Overall: Hello Leafy46! The hook is perfect. Just a couple of comments on the actual article: the genres in the infobox should have citations or at least be referenced in the composition section. Can I also please ask that you cite the statement about bringing Motown mainstream? In the last sentence of the critical reception section, I would change "critics" to "critics at Consequence". And then, the credits section should be formatted in the way that the names come first and then their role i.e. "Billie Joe Armstrong – songwriting" (also with the wikilink and the en dash [–]). Sorry I'm so ridiculously nit-picky hahaha, it should be good-to-go after those quick fixes :) —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 10:59, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cybertrip: Thank you for spending the time reviewing my nomination! I have addressed your pointers: (1) The genres are now consistent with those listed within the article (soul ballad from the 'Reception' section, acoustic rock implied through the 'Background and composition' section); (2) The Motown reference has been removed for lack of connection to the article as a whole; (3) The critics have now faced the Consequence; and (4) the credits have been updated accordingly. I don't mind the nitpicking lol, it's much appreciated to help improve the article! Leafy46 (talk) 00:46, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
