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 done → were 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)
- I'm sorry I missed this one. I mean something like "11 received mixed reviews from critics." Adabow (talk · contribs) 03:22, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
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)
- 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)

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..

Media
[edit]Done Does the deluxe edition cover add anything to the article? It uses the same photograph as the original, and is just recoloured. I feel it fails WP:NFCC #8.
Done The same goes for File:BA-I Thought-Video.jpg it is not discussed in the article.
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)
- 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)
