This page looks like a 1st grader wrote it. First, there's not a neutral point of view in the way it's written. It's not objective. There are also grammatical errors and you don't have to put a period before every reference. Last, there are several things that aren't sourced. But since you want to keep reverting my edits which are simply to make it read easier and look competent, you can have fun with that.
"that critics has described as" really? It's HAVE described. You learn English in elementary school.
"quickly became a commercial and critical success" - not a neutral view
- the silly periods before every reference. Carrieunderwoodfanforlife (talk) 10:32, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Several Issues
[edit]This article has several issues, many of which I have found to be prevalent throughout Carrie Underwood-related articles on Wikipedia. First of all, the content is quite biased in that it over-exaggerates the single's success. Additionally, content appears to be plagiarized, such as the mention of the first-week adds, which is taken word-for-word from Taste of Country. Also, Mediabase/Country Aircheck records and accomplishments are mentioned in this article. I'm not sure these records are to be mentioned on Wikipedia since we generally use Billboard chart numbers and records. Finally, there is no source for the genre classification "country rock." Who's place is it to say that this is country rock instead of just plain country? If a source can be cited for this country rock classification, maybe we can compromise and list country and country rock both as genres for this song. However, as of right now, there's no source; this is just an arbitrary classification. A discussion should be had on ways to clean up this and several other Underwood articles on this encyclopedia. Let's use this Talk page to come to a reasonable consensus on what revisions must be made to improve the accuracy and unbiased nature of this encyclopedia. --The Midnight Murk (talk) 21:40, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Smoke Break
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Smoke Break's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
