@Anonpediann:@Cold Alex: Hi there! I decided to start this thread and to link you two (since you were the only two active editors on Inna articles that I've noticed). We are currently facing a difficult situation: the classification of "Flashbacks" as a single or promotional single. Although all the label's and the singer's attention seems to be on promoting "Flashbacks", we do not have any (reliable) source confirming that "Flashbacks" is a single. Wikipedia guidelines clearly state that it is not enough for a song to be played by the radio to be considered a single. And nor is having a music video released for it. As for now, the status of "Flashbacks" will remain a promotional single, because it was released to stores back then with all Heartbreaker tracks. But again, we don't have any source to confirm it as a single, or that it was officially released to radios. Once we do, the classification will be happily updated. Greets and thank you; Cartoon network freak (talk) 18:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cartoon network freak:@Cold Alex: Well, that makes sense but it has obviously been promoted as a single. A few sources that state it as a single I could find:
@Anonpediann: Thank you very much for your reasearch! And I do agree with you, we can use the first two sources. However, if you agree, I would like to do the changes to the articles involved. I will come to it either today or tomorrow. Have a great day! Cartoon network freak (talk) 13:42, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Anonpediann: I think that is a bit of a reach. We agreed on the fact that it is a single and that it was very probably serviced as one in February, but to give an exact date just based on the video release would be WP:OR. Also reminder that a music video is not an indication whether a song is a single or not. I think that "February 2021" is the best solution for now unless we find a source that specifically gives a date. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 06:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is common practice to link separately when it is someone who's not a performer listed as a songwriter and producer under different names, but not when it is the lead artist. --K. Peake15:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Since this is a single infobox not a track listing, the producers should not be listed under their surnames
"recorded by Romanian singer Inna," → "recorded by Romanian singer Inna for her seventh studio album, Heartbreaker (2020)." plus move the release info to being the sentence after writing/production
"It was written by" → "The song was written by"
Marco & Seba should only be piped to in prose for the first member, plus are you sure they aren't credited under the duo name for production?
I think it's useful to link both of them because they're both part of the duo and because the article tells something about both. Otherwise, the reader may assume there is only an article about one of them, which would be incorrect. Cartoon network freak (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"lyricaly talking about" → "Lyrically, the song talks about" as a new sentence because the current one is a bit of a run-on
There are only two reviews of the song, meaning a critical overview can't be given; either add more reviews or merely mentioning one critic singling the song out
I do think we can include the fact that the reviews were positive; I've added "Two music critics" to make things clearer. I've further shortened the info about the critical reception in the lead because we only have two reviews. Cartoon network freak (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Would suggest retitling to Background and composition then adding comp info after background, as you can split that from reception by moving the descriptive parts and not the opinion focused ones
I'm going to comment on all your sections-related comments here. Personally, I do think the way the article stands now is fine; first of all, I have never seen a "Release and composition" section and it feels somehow strange to me since these things don't quite go hand in hand. What goes hand in hand, though, is the info about the composition and the reception because here, (almost) all the info we get about the composition is from sources that also give some sort of thoughts/review about the track. I also used this section type on another article of mine, Unlocked. Cartoon network freak (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The new order you have switched to is fine, but I was initially requesting a background and composition section like I often see in song articles; same applies for the release and reception comments. --K. Peake15:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Again, pipe to Marco & Seba should only be on the first member in prose
"seventh studio album, Heartbreaker," → "seventh studio album Heartbreaker," but the song's presence is not sourced
The mansion being in Bucharest, the recording studios being two and these producers/writers being who she was with are unsourced
Move the release info to the following section as the first para, like I will further instruct soon
"was released along the album" → "was released as part of the album"
Mention both digital download and streaming since Apple Music backs both up with modern releases
What exactly do you mean here? I am stating that the album was released on both digital download and streaming formats. If you mean for me to add the formats the promotional singles were released on, then I think that'd be way too detailed here. Cartoon network freak (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was referring to the part about it being issued a week later than the first release, but you are right this is too much detail due to streaming already being mentioned prior. --K. Peake15:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Retitle to Release and reception, adding the commercial info after critical plus comp info can be repeated in critical commentary if you are showing how a reviewer felt about the element(s)
Regarding my above comment, keep the info here from Manuel Probst except the highlight part, as that is an opinion
I misinterpreted this as meaning that a tune was included in the song initially, so only change to "described the song". --K. Peake15:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"and wrote it told an" → "while saying it tells a"
"who she is miles apart" → "that she is miles apart"
"break the silence"." → "break the silence."" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences
I see this being done a lot on other articles, and I do agree. "CIS" is not a term the usual reader would know (me neither). It is not a country, but an 'association' of multiple. I think this should stay. Cartoon network freak (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is auto-generated by a template that is used for the Romanian radio peaks. I have tried to contact the one that created that template in the past, but they sadly did not answer. Cartoon network freak (talk) 14:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Work/publisher is missing from refs 1, 3 and 4, plus fix MOS:QWQ issues with the former
WP:OVERLINK of Apple Music on ref 8's first citation and I don't think you need to note which song each ref is for when the titles show this; you did comment that overlinking is fine on Heartbreaker, but if you followed this again then why is Apple Music linked on only one of these citations?
There were indeed some issues that I fixed, but I usually defend my linking style as follows (let's take the example of "Apple Music"): Apple Music should be linked on every instance (every reference) because — let's say its first appearance is in reference 1 — if the reader was to click on reference 2 first, then it is not linked (and they don't know it is linked on reference 1 in case they wanted to read the article of "Apple Music"). The reference 9 of this "Flashbacks" article is an exception here though because there are multiple reference in one reference; if that is the case, then only the very first instance should be linked since the user sees all the sources at once and sees that "Apple Music" is linked on first instance.

@Cartoon network freak: Thank you for the quicker response than what happened with Heartbreaker; I have left comments above in the relevant areas, also you did not fix the Heartbreak prose in the opening section or the first sentence of music video as instructed. --K. Peake15:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kyle Peake: I have addressed your remaining comments. So I can let the sections stand as they are right now? And also, I'm sorry, I do not get what you mean by "also you did not fix the Heartbreak prose in the opening section or the first sentence of music video as instructed." Cartoon network freak (talk) 08:12, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cartoon network freak Thank you for the response, even if it is provided on the following day. You can let the sections remain as current and also, I was referring to fixing the prose of the opening section where you mention Heartbreak as her seventh studio album accordingly and the first point of my suggestions for the music video section. --K. Peake08:20, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kyle Peake: I fixed the music video section, but sadly I'm too dumb to understand what you mean is wrong with the lead *insert clown emojo here*. Is there any possibility you can fix that for me? Thank you :) Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 09:01, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cartoon network freak: I have made the fix for you now, plus the issue was in background not the lead; me writing opening section referred to that of the article, not the review page. ✓Pass now, well-deserved despite you going through some confusion. --K. Peake09:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
On hold until all of the issues are fixed, after a quick review! --K. Peake 09:20, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
