Thanks you. -- Efe ( talk) 08:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Overall, this article does a good job of describing the context, the composition, and the reception. I had a few concerns, however. Most are fairly minor (phrasing, etc.), but I also felt at the end of the article that I didn't know much about the song itself. Is it possible to describe it a little in the article (eg. "She sings about her anger at having been ignored and describes how she is starting over again on her own. In reference to the men who have been controlling her life, she says, "I'm done believing you".")? Note: this would need a reference, which could be the lyrics printed in the album notes.
In addition:
I will place this nomination on hold for one week to allow for these concerns to be addressed and/or discussed. Any questions or comments can be left here, as I have added this page to my watchlist. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 06:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Looks like almost everything is complete. The lead is a little short, but I think one more sentence in the first paragraph would do it...something about the song's purpose in the film (eg. "Deena Jones, the character portrayed by Knowles, sings the song to assert her independence and demonstrate her frustration with the men who have been controlling her life."). The only other thing I can see that needs work is the sourcing for the "Charts" section. The references do not cover the Netherlands or Eurochart rankings. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 21:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
All of my concerns have been addressed, so I am promoting the article. Thanks for your hard work. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 03:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Beyoncé is credited to have co-written the song. But why was she not nominated for the Oscar like the other three writers? -- 88.65.104.26 ( talk) 12:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

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 Listen (Beyoncé song)'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.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:34, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
