Hello everyone.
I announce that I have just corrected the article a bit, according to what some suggested on the FAC page of the article.
As you can see in the editions, I only corrected what @[[User:ChrisTheDude|ChrisTheDude]] and @[[User:Ippantekina|Ippantekina]] proposed.

Regarding what ChrisTheDude suggested, I did everything he said. I only made two of the five suggestions that Ippantekina made, since, regarding record companies, the article deals with two, not one; I didn't heed the other two suggestions because I don't understand at all. I didn't do anything that @[[User:MRN2electricboogaloo|MRN2electricboogaloo]] suggested, since he mentioned that this is his first time contributing to a FAC; So, I leave those suggestions to the judgment of the nominator. Also, I followed @[[User:Aoba47|Aoba47]]'s suggestions regarding the image (first thing I did) and the "Release" and "Critical Reception" sections (I'll do that after posting this message).

Before I finish, I have to say five additional things: first, I need a revision regarding the sentence that deals with what inspired Versace for the song. Secondly, I am a non-native English contributor, so please correct me if I got anything wrong regarding the language. Thirdly, I'm nervous as this is my first time contributing to an article being Featured Article, so I hope I didn't make the article worse instead of better. Fourth, I think that what I just did should have been done by the nominator, so excuse me if I violated a rule around FACs, since I don't know deeply about these processes, I only know the basics. Fifth, I am the user [[User:Pollosito|Pollosito]]; I just like more to contribute anonymously than logged in, since edits I make while logged in are evidenced on my user page, and sometimes that makes me lazy. I hope you have a good time on Wikipedia. [[Special:Contributions/186.28.158.31|186.28.158.31]] ([[User talk:186.28.158.31|talk]]) 17:49, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

:Hey IP. Thanks for taking care of stuff when I was busy; do not worry, everything you did was OK to me.
:I do appreciate your willingness to contribute, but I would have appreciated things more if you asked permission from me before implementing these changes. Even though anyone is allowed to contribute to Wikipedia articles, please exercise great caution in handling FACs that are not yours. Whether to implement certain changes or not is, ultimately, up to the discretion of the FAC nominator, who is expected to be the most familiar with the article's nature and therefore has better judgment on how to take criticism. I for one was not in opposition to your actions, but I am warning others may not feel the same due to the reasons I have stated.

::Thank you very much, @[[User:Your Power|Your Power]]. I'll keep that in mind next time as I contributed to this because I love trending music, like SZA's in this case. Anyway, I tried not to contribute to so many rephrasings of phrases that haven't been explicitly said, like the Versace thing.

:::I clarify that, if you see me with another IP, it's because Wikipedia just changed it, but I'm still the same person who contributed to the article. [[Special:Contributions/186.29.38.170|186.29.38.170]] ([[User talk:186.29.38.170|talk]]) 17:19, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

== TFA ==

Hi {{u|Your Power}}. I was copy editing the draft blurb for this prior to its proposed TFA on 8 Novemeber when I spotted that the lead said "ridicules her past lovers in various ways, for instance insulting their penises" and the article "she finds various ways to insult her past lovers." Ie, the article gives a summary of what is in the lead, when it should be the other way round. Perhaps you could look at resolving this, possibly by simply switching the two statements? Cheers.

:{{noping|Gog the Mild}}: I believe I already addressed that in [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Smoking on My Ex Pack/archive1#Coordinator comment]] [[User:Your Power|<b style="border-radius:3em;padding:4px;background:#37607C;color:white;">‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ </b>]] ‍ <span style="display:inline-block;margin-bottom:-0.3em;vertical-align:-0.4em;line-height:1.2em;font-size:80%;text-align:left"><sup style="font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">💬 "[[User talk:Your Power|Will you call me?]]"</sup><br /><sub style="font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">📝 "[[Special:Contributions/Your Power|Will you hang me out to dry?]]"</sub></span> 00:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

::At least I'm consistent. Oh kaay, let's go with that. I suspect I won't be the last person raising this point though. Pun intended. [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]] ([[User talk:Gog the Mild|talk]]) 00:36, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
