I will start this today --K. Peake 07:49, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Per the liner notes, Timbaland should be credited in his real name under songwriters

•  Done

• the Pussycat Dolls → The Pussycat Dolls under singles chronology, as "the" needs capitalization when beginning this parameter

•  Done

• "The song features" → "The song features a guest appearance from"

•  Done

• "who produced the song and co-wrote the song with" → "who served as the sole producer and co-wrote it with"

•  Done

• The release sentence should be the third of the para instead

•  Done

• ""Wait a Minute" was released, as" → "The song was released as" but start this sentence with the date because the second begins with "the song"

•  Done

• The sentence is not starting with the term on, also you have not changed to the song. --K. Peake 17:37, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

• Write generally positive instead because one review was not so glowing

•  Done

• "Compared to the album's previous singles, the song" → "Compared to the Pussycat Dolls' previous singles, "Wait a Minute""

•  Done

• Too much commercial info is after the first sentence in the lead; only keep the United States part onwards

•  Done

• "on the Billboard Hot 100. It achieved its highest positions" → "on the Billboard Hot 100, while achieving its highest positions"

•  Done

• "where it peaked atop the country's" → "peaking atop the latter country's"

•  Done

• Introduce as the accompanying music video instead to be more specific

•  Done

• Add a part about the video synopsis

•  Done

• "It was performed on" → "The song was performed on"

•  Done

Background and composition

• Remove introduction to who the Pussycat Dolls are since that being in the lead is sufficient
• The debut single part does not appear to be sourced
• Remove comma before "Don't Cha"
• "and stands as group's" → "and stands as the group's"
• "Their collaboration resulted in" → "Timbaland and the group's collaboration resulted in"
• "to be included in PCD," → "to be released on PCD,"
• Remove "on the album" after included
• Remove comma after lead singer
• Pipe hip-hop to Hip hop music
• Remove comma after described as; [9] needs to be invoked again here since it sources the range
• Remove "as well" after the vocal production part since Hilson's previous contributions were mentioned a while back
• Remove wikilink on Florida

Reception

Critical

• "feeling it was" → "feeling it is"
• "standout tracks of the album." → "standout tracks of PCD." to avoid overusage of the album
• Sputnikmusic should not be italicised
• Write the staff of Popjustice for that review since attributing it to the publication is misleading
• "of a "[song] that had" → "of one "that had"
• "opined "Wait a Minute" was a" → "opined "Wait a Minute" is a"

Commercial

• "In their native country, "Wait a Minute" debuted on" → "In the Pussycat Dolls' native country of the United States, "Wait a Minute" entered"
• "number 19 and 23 on Canada CHR/Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 respectively." → "numbers 19 and 23 on the Canada CHR/Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 charts, respectively." with the wikilink per MOS:LINK2SECT
• "and 24 on the" → "and at number 24 on the"
• "not to enter the top ten;" → "not to enter the top 10 on either chart;" per MOS:NUM
• "New Zealand it became their" → "New Zealand, it became the group's"
• "highest peak (number three)," → "highest peak of number three," but no positions are displayed by the broken URL
• "and top 50 in" → "and reached the top 50 in"
• "becoming the group's lowest charting single in" → "becoming the Pussycat Dolls' lowest charting single on"

Release and promotion

• Shouldn't be the section before reception?
• Per MOS:US, keep the United States here if the section is moved before reception and change to the US in that section, but if not then do it the other way round
• "its accompanying music video was" → "an accompanying music video was" with the wikilink
• "in Los Angeles, California with" → "in Los Angeles, California, with"
• "performed fours songs including" → "performed fours songs, including"
• Remove wikilink on "Don't Cha"
• ""Stickwitu" and "Wait a Minute"." → ""Stickwitu", and "Wait a Minute"."
• Mention what year the new year's eve special was, also this should be italicised per the article
• "The group performed the song" → "The Pussycat Dolls performed the song"
• Remove comma before the Doll Domination Tour and mention the crowd reaction per the source
