Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 23:48, 01 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Carbrera: Thank you very much! This will be an interesting review as I literally made this page so hopefully I did it all correctly lol. Aoba47 (talk) 00:29, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Remove the quotation marks around "Day Dreaming" in the singles box; they are pre-included without having to manually add them

Done

Lead

Paragraph 1

Include the year after Ask a Woman Who Knows.

Done

Paragraph 2

"Upon its release" → "After its release'

Done

Paragraph 3

I would move this paragraph to the one above, creating a slightly larger one :)

Done

Background and recording

Paragraph 1

Looks really good!

Thank you!

Paragraph 2

Hmmm. I particularly don't like album covers used in sections; is there a different image that could be used in place of this previous album cover? If not, it'll just have to do.

I will look for a different image. I agree with your point. Working Aoba47 (talk) 06:02, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done (The image is pretty blurry, but it is hard to find an image that is both high quality/appropriate and that will not be taken down immediately.)

The period should come before the quotation marks in the last sentence, right?

I was told that the punctuation comes after the quotation marks unless citing a full sentence. I thought it was odd too as it is not like that for normal writing, but I was directed to this during the c/e. Aoba47 (talk) 06:02, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 3

Link 'Dallas Austin'

Done

Otherwise, good work

Thank you!

Paragraph 4

"yet up-to-date". Taylor described..." → "yet up-to-date"; Taylor described..."

Done

Nothing else to mention

Thank you!

Composition

Highly impressed with this section; zero comments whatsoever!

Thank you! It took a lot of work for this section!

Promotion

Another comment; is there a different image of maybe Cole singing live or something? The music video pic is alright, but an image of Cole performing one of the album's songs would be even better!

I will look around for a different image. Thank for you for the suggestion! Working Aoba47 (talk) 06:02, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since Cole did not promote the album a lot, there are unfortunately only a handful of times that I could find a video of her performing the songs live and I am not certain if taking screenshots of any of those would help the article as they are very pixelated/blurry.

Reception

Critical response

Change the first sentence to "Leavin' received positive reviews from music critics."

Done

Track listing

Are the producers available for the tracks? You could try discogs.com perhaps?

Thank you for bringing my attention to this. Will add this. Working

Done

@Aoba47: Could you add who produced the only non-Austin produced track in the short statement above the track listing?

Will look for it now.

Working

@Carbrera:

Done

Shouldn't the No. for the bonus track be #13.?

Done

Credits

This may be a little putzy, but shouldn't the additional positions/instruments after the first one be all lowercased? Like for Dallas Austin for example: "Composer, drums, executive producer, horn arrangements, percussion, performer, producer, rhythm arrangements, vocal arrangement" Do you see what I mean?

Done Sorry for the mistake here ><

Charts

Remove 'Weekly charts' since it didn't end up on a 'year-end chart'

Done

Release history

The dates need to be in chronological order; 2010 comes before 2006 in this example

Done Wow, that was a silly mistake lol
