Sorry it took so long to return a review to you. This one looks interesting so I'll give it a shot!

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):

   b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a. (reference section):

   b. (citations to reliable sources):

   c. (OR):

   d. (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a. (major aspects):

   b. (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):

   b. (appropriate use with suitable captions):

• although he said West and his group 'were really cool' - You can cut this since his opinion on the group already comes across with the text before it.
• whom he described as 'amazing artists' - I would cut the last quote since it isn't too relevant to this specific song. I try to watch using this kind of text too much since it can sound POV.
• attributing this to West's great ear for talent in the variety of musicians and artists - I would the last quote here, too. I think the important point is delivered with the first part alone

• Musically, 'God Is' is a gospel song - per the Variety source you could add something like ", one of the more traditional on Jesus Is King".
• West sings in a hoarse voice - it would be more accurate to the source to change this to "increasingly hoarse voice".
• Otherwise very good!

• I would add "(pictured)" after James Cleveland on the image caption
• "Black-and-white" has a typo in the alt text
• while also praising the cinematics - I would change this to "cinematic elements" since it might be sligthly unclear
• Aidy James Stevens felt moved by the song from his position of atheism - I think changing to "despite his position of atheism" would better reflect what Stevens is trying to say

• France peak is 137 according to the source
• US Gospel Songs peak should be 4
• Year-end charts should have subscription-only indication. I'll assume good faith since I can't check myself; do double-check they are correct, though

• Add an audio module to the infobox like I did at the Waves article. I would recommend the YouTube upload
• Rapper would feel more accurate than vocalist, but its vocalist on the GA Water (Kanye West song) so I'll leave it to you
• "number six on both the Christian Songs and Gospel Songs charts" - Gospel peak was 4

This was a short review; the article is very good! I'm a fan of the composition and lyrics, its very concise which tends to be a fun bonus of smaller non-single songs like this. All issues should be relatively easy to fix. IanTEB (talk) 17:50, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IanTEB Thank you for this review, all has been completed now and I kept vocalist for consistency with the articles since this is a gospel album, not his traditional rap genre. --K. Peake 08:08, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did a little copyedit but I'm happy to pass this! IanTEB (talk) 09:54, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
