190.144.162.55 01:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC) I'd like you said the official name of the alternative version of the song, in which the song structure and Sean Paul's raps are left intact, while Beyoncé sings completely different lyrics, that was leaked to the Internet in 2003.
Hello guys. I've forwarded this article to GAN after improving. Thanks to those who created this and to those who helped this article before. Hope we'll make it. -- BritandBeyonce ( talk) 12:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
The article states, that the single is in E flat. However, listening to the song, I feel more compelled to say, that the song is in C minor. Or maybe some similar C key, like C dorian or C frygian. Anyone share this thought with me? Mulder1982 ( talk) 22:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
I just changed it to C minor. The key signature can mean either Eb major or C minor. From listening to the song, it is obviously in C minor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.106.4.94 ( talk) 07:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
A song's key signature is just the number of flats/sharps - it doesn't reveal the key of a song by itself. The first chord of the song has a C as its bass note and every subsequent musical phrase returns to C as its root. You can see this even in the current link to the sheet music. There's not any Eb chord in the source as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.245.193 ( talk) 11:43, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Note on my talk page when done, please. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide ( H20) 10:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Why did the author say that Sean Paul is a rapper? He is a well-known dance hall and reggae artist.I'm changing it.-- Princess Janay ( talk) 23:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Just joking. You guys did a great job trying to make this a Good Article. Glad you made it.-- Princess Janay ( talk) 15:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Is there an image for use on the R&B and Soul Music Portal which is not a fair use image? SriMesh | talk 22:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
"Like Knowles' 2004 song, 'Naughty Girl', Storch's knowledge on Middle-Eastern music contributes to its Arabic influences"
I got rid of this. There is nothing Arabic (or other Middle Eastern) in "Baby Boy". It sounds Indian, which make sense considering the Indian influence in Jamaica and other Caribbean nations.
This reminds of me of the Freemasons remix of Kelly Rowland's "Work", which was being called "Arabic" when it's definitely not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.166.238 ( talk) 03:03, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello, just stopping through and wanted to leave an alert regarding the proper placement of the chart references. Please see
WP:CHARTS#Original chart format. Also "Note that references should be individual and specific to each chart that is being used. Sources per column or table are insufficient."
Hope this helps in your featured article quest.—

I mistakenly nominated the article for a featured review since this page was not active. Some of the things that need to be fixed:
I still think that the prose of the article is not up to FA standards, when compared to FA " 4 Minutes", for example. Xwomanizerx ( talk) 22:12, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
