Reviewer: Novice7 Talk 04:23, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
The article needs some major fix. Here are some issues.
- Lead
- The lead should summarize the body of the article, there should be nothing in the lead that isn't in the rest of the article, and everything that is in the article should be summarized in the lead.
- There are minor grammar error in the lead too like The album garnered a mostly positive reception, where "a" is not needed.
- Background
- In addition, however, Monica also recorded with Dre & Vidal — did she record duets or did she just "work" with them?
- Music
- Wouldn't it be easy to merge the Lyrical themes and Content into one section like 'Composition' or 'Music and lyrics'?
- A quote must be succeeded by a reference.
- Why do you mention about singles and chart performance in the section?
- Released and promotion
- The section is too short and needs citation(s) for a sentence.
- Why don't you add the singles into this section?
- Reception
- Outside the States, it opened at number 23 on the R&B Top 50 Albums Chart in Canada — source?
- Again you mention singles in the Commercial performance section.
- The Makings of Me received generally positive to mixed reviews from most professional music critics. — Earlier you mentioned positive reviews, now mixed to positive? Be consistent.
- Track listing
- Source?
- Leftover Tracks
- Is such a section required?
- Chart
- No source for Canadian and Japanese charts.
- The table looks a little confusing, why don't you remove the Provider column?
- Release history
- US and Canada needs sources to verify dates.
- Credits and personnel
- The section is not sourced, there is a refimprove tag and why is the musicians section put on a drop down box?
- References
- Four dead links Check
- Coding error on Ref 29. Ref 23 is a blog which cannot be considered a reliable source. Ref 24 needs Cite web.
- Links
- Okay. Just one Dab link Check.
- Media
- Reduce cover size per WP:NFCC.
- There is no source for the album cover.
- Reduce the bitrate of Monica_A_Dozen_Roses.ogg.
- I'm putting this on hold for the moment. Hope you'll fix it. Novice7 Talk 11:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
- No response from nominator. Seems like he/she is inactive. Failing the article. Novice7 | Talk 15:29, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
