Lead

[edit]
  •  Done Could do with a rewrite to form a NPOV, especially the 3rd paragraph, which is contradictory ("The album was a commercial success... the album has been viewed as a commercial failure").

Conception

[edit]
  •  Done ...it was his eleventh studio album, if you include... Don't use second person pronouns, maybe ...it was his eleventh studio album, when album x is included
  •  Done ..significant portions of the album was produced.. were produced
  •  Done They'd record the album..Vallance and Adams recorded the album..
  •  Done ..which they'd usually carry along....which they usually carried along..
  •  Done There are more contractions used in the rest of the article which need to be expanded

Writing and themes

[edit]
  •  Done They hooked up.. - remove colloquial language

Release

[edit]
  •  Done The finishing touches to the album was donewere done
  •  Done B-sides are usually written with a capital 'B'
  •  Done Write a summarising sentence for the reviews
What do you mean? --TIAYN (talk) 15:48, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Done "10 thousand" → ten thousand
  •  Done All numbers less than ten should be written out in full, however I strongly recommend that you do this for all numbers below 100.

Track listing

[edit]
  •  Done Needs a reference for writers
Is that really neccessary? The source for this would be the album itself, it would be like sourcing the cover.. Second, its not usually referenced in other GAs i've seen. --TIAYN (talk) 08:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the album liner notes are fin to use as a source; you can use {{Cite music release notes}} Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Charts and certifications

[edit]
  •  Done References should be next to the chart name, not the peak position. For certifications you can place the ref in either cell.
  •  Done Link charts
  • What's up with the European Albums Chart whacked on the end?
    • It charted, but they don't know what position it reached..

[edit]

There is a lot of work to do, butI will place the review on hold now. Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:18, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the amendments; I will pass the article now. Just a couple of final comments: why is the European Albums Chart not in alphabetical order? The final sentence of the lead also needs a rewrite. Adabow (talk · contribs) 04:10, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
