Nominator(s): Till 04:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because... I feel that it meets the criteria. I completely revamped the article yesterday and wrote a new lead, and fixed the tables and sourcing. Till 04:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Two dab pages, "Naughty but Nice" twice.
    • Fixed. Till 03:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Sarah Connor in July 2009." -> "Connor in July 2009" (infobox caption, no need for repeating first name, no need for full stop on an incomplete sentence.....)
    • Fixed. Till 03:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suitable link for "certified" please.
  • "Let's Get Back to Bed - Boy!" en-dash required please.
  • You use ARIA before explaining what it means.
    • I'm clueless as to what you mean here, sorry Till 03:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • You use the abbreviation ARIA before you actually use the expanded version, it should be the other way round. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:51, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yeah, ARIA goes after cause that's what is referred to later in the article. Till 02:35, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
          • " on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA)" you use ARIA in this sentence before explaining what ARIA means. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:04, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
            • Oh now I see the issue. I have fixed this. Till 02:29, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "[12][2]" numerical order.
    • Swapped around. Till 03:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "two German number one singles" suspect number-one should be hypenated.
    • Done. Till 03:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Which territory does each date relate to?
    • Germany, because that's the main music market and all the sources for the RDs are from German sites. Till 03:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • So say that. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:51, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • Although I feel that this is completely useless and redundant, I have added it because you asked. Till 02:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
          • Why? If a item charts in various countries, and you're giving just one release date, you should tell the reader which territory that particular release date is relevant to, since it can vary from territory to territory, obviously. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:04, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "French Kissing" links to not what you want.
    • Fixed. Till 03:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. High quality content and great use of citations and formatting and standardization in tabular fashion throughout. — Cirt (talk) 21:35, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks :) Till 01:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "Naughty but Nice, Connor's fourth album, became her highest-charting to date;" – Use an "as of" or similar construct to avoid this version of the article becoming incorrect at some point in the future.
    • I have removed this in its entirety. Till 23:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The singer's fifth studio album Soulicious was released in 2007" – Missing commas.
    • Added commas Till 23:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's a stray hyphen in ref. 28.
    • Removed Till 23:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "GmbH" is not usually part of a company's name. In citations, it can be omitted, just like "Inc." or "LLC."
    • Removed Till 23:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The prose is a bit dry, but I don't see much that could be done about it, and since I'm trying to be less of a nitpicker, I won't say anything more about the citations, supporting instead. Goodraise 14:55, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Till 23:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have copyedited bits of the article to avoid dryness. I hope the prose is a bit more enticing to read now Till 23:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Crisco 1492 (talk)
*Oppose on prose
  • it peaked at number two - What chart? (this is minor, my oppose is based on the below)
  • Very, very, very dry... part of this is because you are only explaining what is in the chart proper. Compare Chrisye discography and Rihanna discography. Both mention controversial or award-winning works and contextualise information about the works, allowing for a more engaging experience. It doesn't have to be extremely detailed, but if for example a music video was controversial for nudity (like the music for Madonna's "Erotica"), it could be mentioned here to feel more like prose instead of a prosified list. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:44, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • How about now? Till 22:49, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looking better, although still a little stiff. Any albums/singles which were controversial? Which used a unique style (i.e. if she's a pop singer, did she do an album with dubstep influences)? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nope, but "Bounce" samples a Mary J. Blige song which I have now noted and also included the ECHO Awards nomination of another single. Till 23:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alright, only issue now is that the ECHO award needs a ref. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • "and nominated for 'Best National Single' at the 2002 ECHO Awards." Needs "was" before "nominated".
  • Lead image could use alt text. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:16, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
