Hellow, thanks for reassessing!, I can fix some things today, however, as I'm a student weekdays I do not edit Wikipedia, well at least I try not to, I will not be able to answer/correct queries till Friday 31 August 2012. Regards AdabowtheSecond (talk) 19:06, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Ok, that is fine, the article will be put on hold for a week after 31/8/2012 (DD/MM). Please tick off the things you have done on the list using <s> and the template {{done}} – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

• I changed Olympics sentence, where are dates presented this way can't find any. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

(from references)Fixed all of them. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

The source says it has sold 5 million and according to the list itself 5 million is needed to be included. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

I meant the claim that they have one of the best selling singles in the world. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:19, 27 August 2012 (UTC) Sorry, didn't see the article you wikilinked. – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:21, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

The images of Niall and Liam do now, it was due to IP vandals. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Can I have the status on the splitting of the article? – Plarem ^{(User talk)} 13:20, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

• I do not know about that. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

• I've closed the RfC now and the content stays in the article as per consensus. TheSpecialUser ^TSU 01:28, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
• However, there is still a discussion going on regarding it. TheSpecialUser ^TSU 01:41, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

1a) is everything fine now, the only synonyms for after are subsequently, later, afterwards, afterward, later on, they all don't really fit. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 02:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

2a) I have filled in everything I guess, AdabowtheSecond (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

3a) *Section: Up All Night, their breakthrough I figured is written in the most condensed way possible, a lot happened they set multiple world records, got a lawsuit, had a tour and a tremendously commercial successful DVD, performed at the olympics, got called a 50 million business, what do you suggest needs to be cut. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 02:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

• Section: 'Image' what do you suggest needs to be cut, image sections of Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, all GA's are bigger I would say expand. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 02:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
