[1] Adabow ( talk) 01:00, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
Why is there a huge section that centers on the opinion of a largely unknown feminist blogger? In that case, why don't we have a section for every bloggers alternative interpretation of the song? Since that would be unfeasible, let's minimize bias by removing the "alleged racism" section entirely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.113.112.90 ( talk) 18:30, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
So where is the section placed now? I don't see the subject as being mentioned at all currently. GS438 ( talk) 01:32, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
The ARIA Digital Chart [2] lists "Royals (The Love Club EP)". Does this not mean it is a measure of the whole EP, with "Royals" as the 'main' track; ie "The Love Club EP including Royals"? Adabow ( talk) 04:40, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Meganesia has contributed synthpop to infobox/genre, with a Pandora.com track URL citation.
The Wikipedia definition of synthpop chiefly relates to pop made with the analogue/monophonic synth's which predominated pre-mid-80s. So, is Pandora saying "Royals" is somehow markedly 80s-retro or would we transpose synthpop to Wikipedia parlance for the modern equivalent, electropop?
Either way, neither synthpop or electropop are mentioned elsewhere on the article.
Anyhow, are Pandora.com URLs accepted for citations? Do they even lead to webpages? When I visit the link, it wants me to register and, presumably, download a turnkey browser. – Ian, DjScrawl ( talk) 11:51, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Page seems settled (mostly chart updates) and in great shape.
Do any of y'all think a good article review would be better delayed further? – Ian, DjScrawl ( talk) 14:19, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
A question of how we represent " Royals" parental-release – The Love Club EP (then SoundCloud or retail) or Pure Heroine – from when/which we represent that on the Lorde discography#Singles table.
If editors would like to contribute, it's: Talk:Lorde discography#When's the 1st "Royals" could've been considered a download single? – Ian, DjScrawl ( talk) 08:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Does anyone know, perhaps from interviews with Lorde, where the music video was shot? I understand it was within Auckland, but my question is what area specifically? Ashton 29 ( talk) 05:31, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, a very informative response. Ashton 29 ( talk) 09:56, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
No, it's in D major, not G. 86.156.55.182 ( talk) 06:28, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
The article says the singer wrote the lyrics, but who was credited as the composer of the music? Tito john ( talk) 15:01, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
I know this song's chart history and its recording artist are being compared to the singer Tiffany's comparable performance, but why have illustrate the Lorde article with picture of Tiffany? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to show a picture of Lorde? Nuttyskin ( talk) 14:58, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
The dates in this article need to be cleaned up and standardized, especially in the sources. In the accolades section, there are dates like December 18, 2013 alongside dates like 15 October 2013. Presumably the latter is the form that should be maintained throughout this article. only ( talk) 22:49, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I've not looked closely at the references yet (reference formatting is generally outside of the remit of GAC but poor sourcing certainly isn't- in addition to those already mentioned, I'm seeing Tumblr, "Clipland", Direct Lyrics, Google+, Twitter and YouTube, which aren't ideal), but I am afraid my concerns about poor sources, lack of detail in the reception section, sloppy writing (particularly in the "covers" section) and editorialising affecting the neutrality (particularly in "background" and "controversy") give me enough to say that it is better to close this review at this time. Take some time to make the changes I've suggested (and I'd be happy to help out with copyediting, finding good sources and so on if you like) and then renominate; I would be happy to offer a review again if I don't have any further input on the article between now and then. This is a topic which deserves a decent article, and while this isn't there yet, it's coming along well, but more successful songs are always going to be a little more difficult to write about.

Here. I want to add this, but the lens of the song's page is hip-hop influence (rather than being rap) and commentary however, so I don't want to be contradictory, but Rolling Stone said this, a well-known magazine. -- 69.47.9.70 ( talk) 01:38, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
