Since you have two album nominees pending, it is only fair for me to take this on! --K. Peake 10:51, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for giving it a look 😁 웃OO 14:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
100cellsman Thank you for the initial response; you have missed a few points, which I have addressed below as well as providing further comments! --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

[edit]
 Not done --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Change electronic dance to EDM in the infobox because the source calls the album "electronic dance music", which is another way of saying the genre EDM
 Not done I meant list the genre as EDM
  • Remove wikilink on studio album
  • "The album is believed to define" → "It is considered to define" since he himself said it
  • Jazz should not start with capitalisation
  • Change electronic dance to EDM per earlier comment
 Not done --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The last sentence of the first paragraph is fine, but you should write about the shifts and traditional jazz info in the comp section since it is only mentioned in reception currently
I changed it to include the other genres mentioned instead. 웃OO 22:43, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That actually looks a lot better, great job! --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "was announced with" → "was announced simultaneously with"
 Not done --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The former track" → "The second of the three tracks"
 Not done this is to specify which "former" track is being referred to --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "received generally favorable reviews" → "received generally favourable reviews" because this is an English article
 Not done the article is in British English, remember --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Target music critics to Music journalism
  • "drift from the Black Focus (2016) sounds that" → "drift from the sounds of its predecessor, Black Focus (2016), that"
  • "said that the album shifted its ideas too urgently." → said the album's ideas shifted too urgently." to be less wordy
  • "number 2 in the Jazz & Blues Albums chart" → "number 2 on the Jazz & Blues Albums Chart"
  • "in the Independent Albums chart." → "on the Independent Albums Chart." with the target
 Partly done you missed the target --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done. 웃OO 22:43, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Background

[edit]

 Not done --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • In the new order, the third para should be merged with what will be swapped to the second para
  • Remove wikilink on saxophone
  • Remove target on drummer
  • "bassist Rick Leon James, and" → "James on bass and" since the article is in British English
 Partly done you forgot to remove the comma --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "to perform in the album," → "to perform on Wu Hen,"
 Partly done you missed the title --K. Peake 11:49, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
All done 웃OO 22:43, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • "and electronic dance which" → "and EDM which" per the source, as it says the album is "electronic dance music" and that is EDM

Final comments and verdict

[edit]
Thanks, I'll probably be busy the next couple days so I might not be able to fix everything at once. 웃OO 16:41, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
100cellsman That is fine; the onhold period is for a week anyway. --K. Peake 17:37, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kyle Peake All the issues should be fixed now, let me know if I missed anything again. Though I had the personnel listed in alphabetical order. 웃OO 03:20, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
100cellsman Wow that was quicker than I expected; I fixed some areas where you got somewhat mixed up with copy editing and also resolved a number of issues that arose elsewhere.  Pass now, the copyvio score is at around 45% but that is due to a part from the source that is quoted from an entirely different one. --K. Peake 06:39, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
