(no header)[edit]

"This is the first Disney Channel soundtrack that features the main character singing the whole album." That's obviously not true; just look at the track list. But I don't know how to fix it. Would it still be accurate if it said most of the album? Everyking 08:31, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I just rewrote that part so the claim was eliminated entirely. But if it is a milestone in a similar way to what was described, feel free to add that. Everyking 08:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hannahmontanaspecialedition.jpg[edit]

Image:Hannahmontanaspecialedition.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Hannah Montana (soundtrack)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hello!

Track listing

Reference 30, for the liner notes, calls them the "media notes" in the reference itself. This sounds like a page of a press packet. Is this indeed the correct term?

Done

"This Is the Life (Hannah Montana song)" has redirected back to the album since 2012. The last revision prior to redirecting seems pretty solid, but it's up to you to revert it to a previous edit.

Done

Please add a reference to B5's cover of "Shining Star" in that article, so that readers of this soundtrack article know it's directing to the right article.

Done

The rest of this section looks sound.

Charts

It's a little unusual to have one section within another section. Are there any other charts, aside from the weekly ones? Otherwise, why not merge things?

Done

Passing "Certifications", "Release history". Good work on the RIAA database instructions. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:50, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Singles and promotion

This article is the only place on the entire internet that the phrase "serviced as the only single" appears. Let's avoid coining a new term.

Done

Critical reception

I've added in the only other review of the disc that I could find in the subscription databases I checked. I've tweeted the reviewer to ask if it was 2/4 or 2/5 stars. In case you want the actual review, the only commentary was: "This slickly executed generic pop will sound annoyingly perky to adult ears. But it hits the kids right where they live."

Done, and thanks for finding the review!

Passing "Commercial performance". -- Zanimum (talk) 19:58, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so everything is ready (Lead, "Background and composition"), but I haven't reviewed References yet in detail.

Right off the bat, Hanna B. merely reposted the first season interview with Miley to Fanpop, it appears to be from Hollywood.com. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:55, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done

I've made one correction via Checklinks, one issue left: any alternate source for Mexican charts? The link is dead.

Done

To the assertion that it's Disney's fourth soundtrack to debut in the top 10, I believe that's actually for that year. The sources aren't clear. Ultimately, I'm not sure if this issue is solvable, though. -- Zanimum (talk) 02:32, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want me to remove that statement then?

Without something proving it wrong, best to leave it in.

References seem to check out, so congrats!

(FYI, at the same time, I've demoted the article to mid-level importance for both Albums and Disney. Through sales, I'd say it's safe to give it that level for albums, despite the lack of published music criticism. The TV show of Hannah would be high level Disney, this album by itself is less critical. None of this is meant as a criticism of your article, which is strong.) -- Zanimum (talk) 23:57, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much, I appreciate your time! WikiRedactor (talk) 00:04, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Policy discussion in progress[edit]

There is a policy discussion in progress at the Manual of Style which affects this page, suggesting that the capitalization of "like" should be removed from the songs listed here. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — $Llywelyn II$ 18:15, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
