QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Vladimir.copic: The article looks mostly fine, as well as QPQ; I'll just note that some of the albums you included in the "Discography" section still haven't got references, but it shouldn't be much of an issue in this particular case. Anyway, the ALT1 hook sounds hilarious, so I would go with that, although we could make it even more interesting by putting it in contrast (ironically) with Conti's advocacy for the conservation of the Amazon rainforest, which were cited in the same source you provided, but not in the article. Still, this is just an idea I've had, and if it doesn't work, we can simply stick to "standard" ALT1. Oltrepier (talk) 14:04, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier: I've fixed up the discography (technically they were cited but not next to each album but I've now done this for better WP:TSI). Agree! The Amazon fact would be good but I can't find a place to organically put the information in the article so I think it's better just to stick to ALT1 as is. Thanks for the review!

@Vladimir.copic: Maybe, you could try creating a "Personal life" section? Anyway, thank you for your input! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 12:35, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
