Dead link replaced. The Internet can be so ephemeral sometimes... --Another Believer (Talk) 18:56, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Lead / Infobox
  • is the first greatest hits album (seventh overall) --> It is her first greatest hits album, but it's her seventh overall greatest hits album? Overall is unneeded.
Done. Now reads: "...is the first greatest hits album (seventh album overall)..."; I kept "overall" but added album. I think this corrects the disambiguation, as this album is her first greatest hits album, but seventh album overall. Please let me know if this needs additional attention. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The compilation includes tracks from four of Sia's previous studio albums: Healing Is Difficult (2002), Colour the Small One (2004), Some People Have Real Problems (2008) and We Are Born (2010); also included are two tracks featuring Sia as a guest vocalist ("Destiny" by Zero 7 and "Titanium" by David Guetta), "My Love" from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse film soundtrack, plus a remixed version of "Buttons" by Brazilian rock band CSS. --> Separate into two sentences. This one is far too long.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't see a need for the second paragraph, as it is rather short.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is it a compilation album or a greatest hits? The infobox says compilation album, but the lead says greatest hits.
Done. Greatest hits, now specified in the infobox (I did not know there was a greatest hits parameter for the infobox). --Another Believer (Talk) 18:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Background and promotion
  • Can the information of her claiming to retire be expanded on? Was it true or not? I noticed that "announced" wasn't used.
Hard to tell. Can update in the future, but her announcement occurred just a few months ago... not much of an update to provide in the mean time. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:01, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Composition
  • Best Of... contains eighteen tracks spanning fifteen years of music from Sia's solo career and her work with Zero 7 and other artists --> A bit awkward to read.
Better? --Another Believer (Talk) 18:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • This section really doesn't focus on composition of any of the songs. Wouldn't content be a more accurate title?
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reception
  • Looks pretty good to me. There is one red link though.
I am not sure if this publication is deserving of an article or not. I do believe the publication appears on a disambiguation page, which is why I included a red link. I do not wish to construct an article for the publication, but I am happy to remove the red link if preferred. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:24, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's best to either remove the red link, or just link it to Rave magazine. A red link doesn't really assist the reader in any way. Statυs (talk) 19:01, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Red link removed. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:05, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Track listing
  • I know this isn't required, but how about using the track listing template?
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:45, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Charts
  • before falling off the chart --> Meaning that it no longer appeared at any position on the chart? How about using the word "exit" instead?
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:24, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See also
  • Per WP:SEEALSO, "As a general rule the "See also" section should not repeat links which appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes."
I don't believe any of the links in the see also section appear in the article or the navbox. If so, please specify. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:20, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking time to offer a review.  Doing... --Another Believer (Talk) 18:19, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are most welcome! Once more information is added about the supposed retirement (if there is more, that is) the article is good to go! Great work! Statυs (talk) 19:01, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You seemed to have replied to that comment at the exact time I was responding to the other comments, haha. On that note, everything looks good. I am passing the article. Statυs (talk) 19:03, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, just experienced a few edit conflicts there. Much appreciated! --Another Believer (Talk) 19:03, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
