Hi Breaktheicees, I will be reviewing this for you! Expect comments within the next few days. Grk1011 (talk) 12:52, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

  • image properly licensed
  • The genres don't appear to be discussed in the body. A couple refs described them, but I don't think they made it into the article itself.
  • add "the" before Spice Girls
  • add "series actress" before Melissa Joan Hart
  • No need for refs in the WP:LEAD since it is a summary of what's in the article.
  • Is there a source for the 700,000 copies? It looks like you might have just added up the US and Canada certification thresholds. That might be fine to mention, but it doesn't mean "worldwide".

Background[edit]

  • Where does it state that the sequencing was slightly modified? The ref link isn't numbered, so it's not clear to me that they were saying it was the ordered track listing.
  • Don't pipe "A&R", write it out as "artists and repertoire".
  • Where in the ref does it say Coburn was "instrumental"?
  • Fix ref order of 6, 3 so that it's 3, 6
  • Fix ref order of 7, 5
  • Fix ref order 10, 5
  • Reword the last sentence. It's a bit hard to follow.
  • I'm not sure the Spice Girls photo adds much to the article, but it's licensed properly.

Critical reception[edit]

  • Fine

Commercial reception[edit]

  • The RIAA and Music Canada links list the certification dates, so you might as well note them in the article

References[edit]

  • General comment: wikilink website, publisher, etc. If they are magazines and newspapers, make sure you a using "magazine=" or "newspaper=" to show the names in italics.
  • General comment: add access dates to all refs that are missing them. This helps for eventual archiving by bots.
  • General comment: Fix the date format of the refs to align with article body (month day, year)
  • 10. This ref needs more detail so that readers can figure out what it is. I think it's a book? ISBN, etc.
  • 18. This is the wrong date for the Billboard 200 link [it's the link for October 10, 1998 issue (which is also ref 5)].
  • 19. This ref doesn't work. Can you see if an archive link exists? You can try using the bot: [1]
  • 22. This ref doesn't work.

Other thoughts and discussion[edit]

This looks pretty good and doesn't look like it needs much work. I'd recommend using the liner notes to add a Personnel section, however. This would also allow to add refs for the producers in the infobox.  On hold until revisions are made or responses to the above are received. Good job!

Hi @Breaktheicees: checking in. Grk1011 (talk) 13:36, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. Thank you and apologies for the delay. I'll get to working on it shortly. Breaktheicees (talk) 23:49, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Should be good to go now. In regards to the sequencing of the track list being modified, it's true that the MTV link isn't entirely clear on the numbering, but one of the advance copies of the CD more clearly shows an alternate track list, so I put that ref in. The formerly 19-numbered ref works for me, but I added archive links to all of the PDFs just in case. Breaktheicees (talk) 01:51, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks great! I made a few small tweaks. Passing now! Grk1011 (talk) 15:48, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
