GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the lead, "The tour supported her first two studio albums, Madonna and Like a Virgin" ---> "The tour supported her first two studio albums, Madonna (1983) and Like a Virgin (1984)", so that it can provide context for the reader. In the Background section, this is me, but this sentence ---> "When Like a Virgin, the album became a success, Warner wanted to milk-in the success of the album by sending Madonna on a worldwide tour", reads odd. Do you mean something like this ---> "Following the success of the Like a Virgin album, the record label wanted to milk-in the success of the album by sending Madonna on a worldwide tour"?
Corrected. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Check.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
In the Recordings section, I believe you don't need that quotation mark in front of Sylvia Chase. Same section, "The release debuted at 13 on Billboard's Top Home Video chart, on December 22, 1985 and reached..." ---> "The release debuted at 13 on Billboard's Top Home Video chart, on December 22, 1985, and reached...", commas after dates, if using MDY. In the Legacy section, a quotation mark is missing at the end of "fingerless gloves.[6]".
Oops. I swear, honest mistakes :) — Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know, happens to everyone. ;)
Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

C. It contains no original research:

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
Not that much to do. If the above can be dealt with, I will pass the article. Good luck!

Grrr. Finally you remember me, huh? I am so angry with you :) J/k. Corrected the concerns. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you were angry with me cause... you know, anyways, I never forgot ya, I was just worried, but I decided to review stuff so I chose yours. Thank you to Legolas for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:09, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
