• New (from a redirect), in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. The hooks, which are two ways of saying the same thing, check out against their source, and are interesting enough. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:02, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Infobox

• Could link the audio from the Youtube source.
• Release date as a prior date as March 22, 2011
  • ? Little bit confused by what this exactly means Gavetheman555 (talk) 17:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

  "released onto radio on March 22, 2011 in the United States". MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:33, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done

Lead

• It was one of the last songs recorded for Danger Days, being a favorite amongst the band. → I would replace this with lyrics meaning or at least a part of this
• An almost five minute long song → irrelevant info
• Add chart position
• was briefly released to US radio → what does briefly means its not even backed up by the source
• in 2011, → in April 2011,

 Done

Background, production and release

• Slipt "Background" from "production and release"
  • (Think I did this correctly) Gavetheman555 (talk) 17:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
• Rename "production and release" to "Release and music video" (second paragraph and below)
• "Bulletproof Heart" was among one of the four songs → a total of five songs are mentioned
  • ? What is the fifth song? Gavetheman555 (talk) 17:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

  Nevermind, I tough "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back" were two songs. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:04, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

• US radio on March 22, 2011 → format
  • Pretty sure I did this right Gavetheman555 (talk) 17:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

  I fixed it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:13, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

• before being released as a single on June 13 → Wouldn't it be single once it was sent to radio in US?
  • ? Probably? However more sources point to the June 13th date (the page for "Famous Last Words" also has something similar to this, but if the release absolutely needs to be changed I'll do it) Gavetheman555 (talk) 17:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

It does, what counts its the first date. If it was only release in the US or the UK it would be a different story. You should be familiar with, it will help Wikipedia:Singles criteria. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:12, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

If I misunderstood this I apologize Gavetheman555 (talk) 23:00, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

• In the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number 39 on the Rock & Metal Singles chart the week of June 25 → move this into the Critical Reception and re-name that section as Reception
• the World Contamination Tour → date between brackets
• The band also performed the song live on a couple occasions, including during the World Contamination Tour and their 2019-2023 reunion tour. → move this into the composition section

 Done

Composition and lyrics

• Rename the section "Composition and live performances"
• Release date of "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" between brackets
• Danger Days drummer Bob → Danger Days that drummer Bob

 Done

Critical reception

• Chloe Spinks of Gigwise placed it at number 58 out of 79 → in a list of MCR songs, underrated songs, something else?

 Done

Credits and personnel

• Use {{spaced en dash}}
• Fix the list, who are the Additional performing artists?
  • Merged the additional artists section with the additional personnel one Gavetheman555 (talk) 17:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

  You weren't suppose to merge those. It is suppose to be like the liner notes, I asked who they are because the columns were messy. I fixed it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:37, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done

Charts

• Chart performance for "Bulletproof Heart" → List of chart positions

 Done

References

• Either you wikilink everything or only the first instance pick one (example: MTV)
• Wikilink Loud and Gigwise
• Official Charts and MTV are not italic
• Sputnick review is reliable and so is Forty Five according to their about us page

 Done

Overall

• Should mention the main credits (songwriters and producers on the body of the article, in composition section)
• Create a release table history

 Done

• On hold. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:27, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
  • @MarioSoulTruthFan: Thanks for the review on this article! I believe I have addressed all the points correctly (per the ones I left with a question mark), let me know if anything else needs to be changed :) Gavetheman555 (talk) 17:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

    All in all, I fixed and added some stuff plus replied to you queries. Infobox still needs a fix, as well as the lead and the new Release and music video section. Let me know once you are done. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:15, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

    Fixed the issues with the release date Gavetheman555 (talk) 23:00, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

    Good job! MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 23:09, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
