Nominator(s): Saiff Naqiuddin (talk) 09:56, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For the third time, I am nominating this for featured list because I believed that this page already meets the Featured list criteria and guidelines. Also noticed that this user:GOTH $FACE$ POKER removed all my edits last year and reverted it back so that in the page statistics his name will be on the top of Top 10 by added text.

First, as you can see in the previous version which is the table, date, sources, font, and else is a reallu mess so I've made my contributed to clean all the mess until it meets the criteria. In terms of reference, the reference of the previous version is very incomplete and I've resolved this problem. The Lead, Prose, Comprehensiveness is created by Javila200084898 and I believed that the sentence doesn't need the copyediting also in that section I only solved the problem of the date to make all of the dates are consistent."

Comments on the lead
  • "which attained global success and reached the top position of every country's charts"" - I don't believe this is true. Every country in the world? Even Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Micronesia, Nepal, etc?
  • "The album sell over 3 million units worldwide" => "The album sold over 3 million units worldwide"
  • "With the releases of "Womanizer" and "Circus", it sold four million copies worldwide" => "Featuring the singles "Womanizer" and "Circus", it sold four million copies worldwide"
  • "Spears's eighth studio album" - earlier you didn't have the s after the apostrophe. I think both are valid but pick one and be consistent
  • "however, failed to reach the success of other Spears albums" => "but failed to reach the success of other Spears albums"
  • Lead image caption should not have a full stop.
  • I will look at the list later....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:00, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "reached the top position in at least 22 countries" - source?
  • "Spears' self-titled album spawned worldwide "I'm a Slave 4 U"" - think there's a word missing in there
  • "her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale, which debuted at number one in the country" - which country?
  • "spawned the hit-single" - should not have a hyphen
  • ""Tik Tik Boom" features American rapper T.I.." - don't have two full stops at the end
  • "Robyn co-wrote "Over to You Now" from Britney & Kevin: Chaotic and she is a chorist on "Piece of Me" from Blackout." - what is a chorist?
  • Song and album titles which start with punctuation marks should sort based on the first actual word
  • Song and album titles which start with "The" should sort based on the first actual word
  • "I Love Rock and Roll" should be marked as a cover
  • Something seems to have gone weird with the row for "Passenger"
  • ""Boys", released as a single in 2001, is a remix featuring Pharrell Williams, and is not featured on the Britney album." - is there only a remix? Not an original version?
  • Lose the Daily Mirror ref, it's a trashy tabloid. There are four refs against that sentence so I presume the others should cover it.....
  • That's what I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:51, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: and @The Rambling Man:, can you guys please have a look at this page, thank you. Saiff Naqiuddin (talk) 11:14, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose you haven't done nearly enough to address my concerns from Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of songs recorded by Britney Spears/archive2. Only two of the things I listed there have been resolved. Also, whether critics liked the music is irrelevant here; save that for the album/song articles.

@SNUGGUMS: Solved! Saiff Naqiuddin (talk) 10:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not exactly; you still need to add some non-singles to the prose for diversity (don't exclusively focus on singles when this isn't a discography article) as well as details on genre and lyrics. I'd also reduce the details on commercial performance. Maybe talk about some covers she performed. On a more minor note, I still see inappropriate uses of "hit single" used (one in singular form and another as a plural). SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 13:37, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SNUGGUMS: is it possible to get someone (Wikipedian) that fluent in English to rewrite this lead, because I'm really bad at writing. Saiff Naqiuddin (talk) 11:50, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It might help to take this list to WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests and link to the nomination page here showing my comments. I can't edit make any major edits to it myself right now because reviewers aren't supposed to get too involved working on pages they're assessing.

@SNUGGUMS: Here Done!. Saiff Naqiuddin (talk) 08:45, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
While some changes help the flow of text, the bigger issue of this reading like a discography page unfortunately still isn't resolved at all. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:00, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TRM edit

  • Link "chart".
  • Billboard 200 is overlinked in the lead.
  • Link "certified".
  • "Spears' " -> "Spears's" per MOS.
  • "with Madonna that" pipelink is not needed.
  • "first Grammy in " Grammy Award.
  • Why isn't "Billboard Hot 100" linked?
  • Link certified the first time!
  • "34.5 million" etc, non-breaking spaces before "million".
  • "each of the three decades of their career" but she's worked in the 2020s....
  • "Sia co-wrote..." in the list she's called Sia Furler..
  • "features Jamie Lynn Spears." could add Britney's sister.
  • "featured in Miley Cyrus'" Cyrus's.
  • Ref 39 needs to be spaced en-dash, not hyphen.

That's my lot for now. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 13:00, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
