I've listed this article for peer review because this article seems fairly well done, but that might just be my opinion, so I wanted to see what other people thought. I think this would be a good candidate to be a featured article. Please give your feedback and make any constructive changes to the article you would like.

I'm an album-article writer so I'll offer you format advice. I know little of the subject matter. Firstly, you need a background/production section. Tell us about the impact of her first album and the EP. Tell us where and when it was recorded and what people were involved in that production. Cite everything. You can probably get lots of quotations from interviews of Swift describing the production of the album. Include what you've got about writing lyrics, but cite it.

I would advise moving the critical reception section downwards, to just above chart performance.

In the Release section, merge release dates with the promotion section and the rest with chart performance.

The whole article, aside from the bullet-pointed singles section, should be in paragraphs. Also, make sure the article isn't written "currently". For instance, you've written that a single "will be released on 21 April 2009 to the US as the third official single". That date has gone. Write everything in past tense.

Scrap a lot of detail from the chart performance section. We don't need to know what position it was at every week. Include its peak position and how many weeks it held that position. Move the chart positions table to the chart positions section. Make "singles" its own section. Again, cite everything. I like to use Allmusic for US and Canadian charts and australian-charts.com for Oceanic and European charts.

You will need to format those references. This is the most dull part of article writing for me, but the refs must conform to WP:CITET.

The lead should be far longer and summarise the entire article. See WP:LEAD.

Best of luck. Try checking out featured standard album articles at WP:FA. Drop me a note at my talk page if you like. -- EA Swyer ^Talk _{Contributions} 18:12, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
