  • "Album artwork" is a relatively small section, and would fit nicely into the "Background" section.

  • "Promotion" is also a small section, and doesn't need individual subheads for "Tour" and "Short film".

  • The citations use many different formats when listing the date (MM-DD-YYYY; DD-MM-YYYY; Day Month Year; Month Day, Year). Please pick one style (my personal preference is Month Day, Year) to use throughout the article.

  • This isn't a big deal, but could we replace the existing covers with versions without the Parental Advisory logo? My understanding is that Wikipedia prefers unmarked covers if available.
I found a version of the standard edition without the PA sticker, but after a while of searching I could not find one without it for the deluxe edition. The deluxe is not even available on iTunes in a clean version, so I hope this wont be an issue. STATic message me! 23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, not a big issue at all. WikiRedactor (talk) 18:56, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I like the information you have in the introduction, although it feels a little oddly ordered. I'd recommend a three-paragraph version, the first with the background and producers, the second with critical and commercial performance, and the third with singles and promotional efforts.

  • "Background" looks good.
  • In "Recording and production", can you change the wording of 'outro' to something like 'closing/final track'? I'm just not sure if outro is as familiar of a term as 'intro', but otherwise the section looks good.

  • "Music and lyrics" looks good, although the LA Times link needs to be fixed.

  • "Album artwork" content looks good.
  • "Promotion" content looks good, although the GQ link needs to be fixed.
I think I fixed it, not really sure what you were referring to. STATic message me! 23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was referring to the reference that links to the GQ website, but anyways you took care of it so we're all set. WikiRedactor (talk) 18:56, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In "Singles", the original chart position for "Poetic Justice" isn't sourced by the given citation, and there's a Billboard reference that needs to be fixed.
 Fixed STATic message me! 23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In "Commercial performance", there's a Washington Post reference that needs to be fixed. Also, it's not necessary to list the second through seventh-week sales in those choppy sentences; a quick summary of the total sales by the seventh week will suffice. (Also, please clarify that you are referring to U.S. sales.) There is also a bit of overlinking to the RIAA page in this section. I'd also like to see some of the international chart positions converted into prose for this section.
 Done, hope it looks good now, looks much more concise to me. STATic message me! 23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Critical reception" looks good.
  • "Controversy" looks good.
  • There's a bare URL in "Charts", but it otherwise looks good.
 Fixed STATic message me! 23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Certifications" looks good.
  • In "Release history", please find a source for this vinyl release.
Unsourced, so removed. STATic message me! 23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, a solid article. Just a few minor areas that I'd like to see corrected, and I'll have no issue passing the article when they are completed. WikiRedactor (talk) 20:32, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, I hope to get this done today, if not it will be definitely done by the end of tomorrow. STATic message me! 20:48, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No rush, take your time. WikiRedactor (talk) 22:04, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiRedactor: I believe I have made the necessary changes you detailed. I also made a few comments above, if there is anything else that needs to be done, please let me know. STATic message me! 01:17, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy with the changes you have made. I went ahead and made a few additional adjustments, which may look like a huge edit by the number, although much of it was simply removing unused fields/extra spaces in templates. Anyways, I'm happy to pass the article! Good work! WikiRedactor (talk) 18:56, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
