GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
1b) The lead is rather short, it should be expanded. The iTunes edition track listing should ideally be in the same track listing format as the Best Buy edition.
2b) Minor issue: ref 17 has not details, publisher, accessdate etc
3a/b) A few things a missing from this article. It could do with a chart table. Release history? was the album released in other countries? Any additional personnel, producers, engineers etc? Maybe include a bit more about the tour? Include a music sample perhaps?
This is a small and tidy article, a refreshing change from articles on pop culture albums, which are behemoths and never hold my attention. Holding until these quibbles are fixed and the article filled out a bit more. Mattg82 (talk) 02:37, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Matt. Thanks for the feedback so far; I will have some time this weekend to work on the issues you brought up, so stay tuned! Thanks again, 28bytes (talk) 02:54, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixes so far:

  • Audio sample added
  • iTunes tracklist formatting made consistent with other tracklists
  • Ref 17 filled out
  • Tour section expanded
  • Production & engineering information added

I'll tackle the rest tomorrow. 28bytes (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded the lead a bit and added a chart section. There doesn't appear to be anything to add regarding the release date(s): it was released worldwide in CD and digital download formats on May 10, 2011, and I can't find any sources that discuss any other release dates. I think that addresses your comments; please let me know if I have missed anything. 28bytes (talk) 18:48, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK looking good. One final nick-pick, I would remove the section headers from Album and Singles, then replace it with a semi-colon. ===Albums=== to ;Albums ===Singles=== to ;Singles This will still make them bold headers but it will remove the out of place edit tag.
I will leave this open for a few more days before passing to see if any opinions from other editors appear, cheers. Mattg82 (talk) 00:13, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A good suggestion; done. 28bytes (talk) 00:18, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
