Hellow, thanks for reassessing!, I can fix some things today, however, as I'm a student weekdays I do not edit Wikipedia, well at least I try not to, I will not be able to answer/correct queries till Friday 31 August 2012. Regards AdabowtheSecond (talk) 19:06, 26 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ok, that is fine, the article will be put on hold for a week after 31/8/2012 (DD/MM). Please tick off the things you have done on the list using <s> and the template {{done}} – Plarem (User talk) 13:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

(from references)Fixed all of them. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

The source says it has sold 5 million and according to the list itself 5 million is needed to be included. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I meant the claim that they have one of the best selling singles in the world. – Plarem (User talk) 13:19, 27 August 2012 (UTC) Sorry, didn't see the article you wikilinked. – Plarem (User talk) 13:21, 27 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

The images of Niall and Liam do now, it was due to IP vandals. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Can I have the status on the splitting of the article? – Plarem (User talk) 13:20, 27 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

1a) is everything fine now, the only synonyms for after are subsequently, later, afterwards, afterward, later on, they all don't really fit. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 02:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

2a) I have filled in everything I guess, AdabowtheSecond (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

3a) *Section: Up All Night, their breakthrough I figured is written in the most condensed way possible, a lot happened they set multiple world records, got a lawsuit, had a tour and a tremendously commercial successful DVD, performed at the olympics, got called a 50 million business, what do you suggest needs to be cut. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 02:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Additional Notes

edit
  1. ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
  2. ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
  3. ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
  4. ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
  5. ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
  6. ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
