This weekend. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:16, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for taking this on. I’ll address everything quickly!—NØ 15:38, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Infobox

• Needs new alt, I mean "A hot pink drawing of a locomotive". Remove "hot pink", that's no color
• No genres?

Yeah, sorry. It's obviously pop but no reviews state that.

Edit: Actually AllMusic states "it's heavy on [...] persistent dance-pop that [doesn't] quite fit into the trends of the late 2010s". Is that good enough to add Dance-pop as a genre to the infobox?

Yes, please add it

 Done

Lead

• produced songs for the EP → sounds weird

I can't think of a better way to write it currently.

All of the material on the EP was produced by...

Remove the songwriters, its not vital to the Lead

• and inspired by → as they were inspired by...

Partially  Done, but I tried to frame it better.

• Top Current Albums → remove it along with its peak
• Trainor promoted it with several music videos. → Trainor promoted it with several music videos for the other songs on the EP.
• Add the genre now to the lead.
• "All the Ways" was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio as a single on February 11, 2019. → "All the Ways" was released as a single on February 11, 2019.

 Done

Background and composition

• The opener → The opener and lead single,

 Done

Promotion

• You could point out it was one per day during a week.
• One day later, the music video for "Good Mornin'" → One the following day, the music video for "Good Mornin'"
• Add the directors for each video

The directors for all the videos were already there, except "I'm Down" which is a compilation of movie clips and there's no director stated in the description.

• No other source than Youtube?

Yup, no secondary source covered the "I'm Down" video.

 Done

Single

• Let's merge this section with the one below, since this one is too small.

Makes more sense to merge it with "Promotion" imo, since singles are released to promote a record.

 Done

Critical reception

• Rename it to reception (see above why)
• Idolator, BroadwayWorld, Radio.com → not italic
• "celebration of romance coming from a singer who had reason to extol the virtues of love" → use your own words more often

Sorry lol, I wasn't the one who originally added this bit. Rephrased :P

• Single and commercial performance of the album should be in the first paragraph, reviews on the second.

 Done

Commercial performance

• Remove Top Current Albums (see below the reason)
• Should be included in the section above as well.

 Done

Track listing

• Fine

Glad to hear that.

Credits and personnel

• Use {{spaced ndash}}

 Done

Charts

• I have some doubts regarding Top Current Albums as it is the same chart as Top Album Sales, but with catalog titles removed. Remove the former.

WP:USCHARTS doesn't seem to state anything about this, so I'll take your word and remove it.

I had a conversation with other user and we seem to share the same opinion. I looked there first, that's why I stated the above, before telling you to remove it.

 Done

Release history

No italic on BigFM and Today

• Source?

 Done

References

• Had some doubts regarding justnje, however, their about section seems fine.

Yeah, they seem fine to me too.

 Done

Overall

On hold for a week. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:29, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Made most of the changes with a few exceptions which I noted above.--NØ 08:48, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

@MaranoFan: I add some little fixes, here and there. Take a look a them. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:02, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

@MarioSoulTruthFan:, I went ahead and made the suggested changes. I agree with all of them.—NØ 16:21, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
