Lead and infobox

Please adjust the ALT text for the album cover. The phrase “topless shot” is not the best wording (i.e. the shot is not topless).
The languages do not need to be linked in the infobox.
Just a clarification question, but do you know if there is an executive producer for the album.

There is no executive producer credited. Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I figured as much, but I wanted to double-check. That is not uncommon so I understand. Aoba47 (talk) 20:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see the need for the references for the singles in the infobox as all of this information should be in the body of the article and properly cited there.
I am a little confused by the information on the critical reception of the album. First, the reference for the Time of India does not need to be in the lead. And second, I would imagine that would be more reviews for this album than just one. The inclusion of only review is raising some red flags on the comprehensiveness of the article.

Removed ref; other than that, see my comments at the bottom of the page. Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Aoba47 (talk) 20:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The following sentence is rather long and would benefit from revision (Six tracks from the record were released as singles along with several promotional singles, of which "More than Friends" experienced widespread commercial success.). Maybe, cut this sentence into two with one featuring the singles and the other on the promotional singles.
Specify the exact amount of promotional singles rather than “some” as you should be able to locate this information.
In the following sentence (During her first tour, she appeared in several television programmes and radio stations.), I am not sure the “during the first tour” part is necessary. It implies that these appearances were a part of the tour, while I would classify them as separate promotional endeavors done by Inna.
I would move the sentence on Frida Kahlo directly after the sentence on the tours in Mexico and the United States.

Background and release

For this part (The songs from Party Never Ends have been recorded in recording studios), avoid the repetitions of recording (i.e. “recorded” and “recording studios”).
Do you know the city in Mexico where the album was recorded? It just is a little odd to list primarily cities, and then have a single country.

I know it's odd (:() but the source doesn't give any further information or context. Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. You at least got all of that information on where it was recorded so you should be proud of that. It can very difficult to locate all of that so be proud of it. Aoba47 (talk) 20:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any more information about the production/recording process? Has Inna ever talked about how she developed and recorded the album in interviews for instance? This is more of a clarification question, as the information on the background seems a little bare.

See my comment at the bottom of the page. Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this part (along with track "Take Me Higher" for), change “track” to “album track” and “for” to “from”
I would change “her Body and the Sun album from 2015” to “her fourth studio album Body and the Sun (2015)”.

Composition

This part is very awkwardly worded and constructed and requires revision (which serves as the third track as is of the house and Latin genres).
I am not certain about the sentence about “Inndia” and “Shining Star”. When you use “while”, you are suggesting some sort of contrast between the two things being discussed, and I do not see how the connection here. I would rephrase it to avoid the “while” construction.
I would make the information about “Caliente” into its own sentence to avoid longer sentences with a lot of references.
For this part (Deluxe edition track "Be My Lover" features), change “Deluxe edition track” to “The deluxe edition track”.
For this part (name, featured on her album Heartbreak on Hold (2012).), I would change “, featured on” to “from” to have more concise language.

Reception and accolades

Read my above comment on my concerns about the information included on the album’s reception. It seems a little odd to only have one review.

See my comment at the bottom of the page. Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You use a lot of quotes in the first paragraph that it borders on being a quote farm. I would paraphrase more, specifically the short quotes used for the specific songs. You can say it better in your own words rather than the short quotes (i.e. “mediocre”, “upper”, “passable”, and “radio friendly”).
I would specify that the following (Deepcentral's O stea (2013) and Smiley's Acasă (2013)) are albums.
In the same sentence, the comma after (2013) is not needed so please remove it.

Promotion and singles

The Frida Kahlo image needs ALT text.
I am on the fence about the use of the Frida image. It is a rather large image and places a lot of emphasis on only one sentence of information in this article. I will allow it for this review, but I would suggest you think about the use of the image as it does seem to add undue weight to a rather small portion of the section. I would be fine with the image if more people talked about her tour wardrobe or if she talked more in-depth about it, but that does not appear to be the case.

Relaced with a picture from the tour. Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Write out “Washington D.C. instead of just saying Washington to make it absolutely clear.
The phrase (Another tour in Mexico visited) needs to be completely revised. You can say that Inna visited these locations but neither the tour or Mexico did the visiting.
I would say “final concert” or “final show” instead of “closing concert”.
I would move the sentence on Frida directly after the first sentence on her going on a tour in Mexico to make it flow better in a more coherent/chronological manner.
I do not believe countries should be linked.

Not the countries are linked, but their respective singles chart. Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase “lyrics video” should be “lyric video”.
For the phrase (Multiple promotional singles), just say the amount rather than “multiple”.
I am confused by this sentence (All singles benefited of at least one music video, including a visual for promotional single "Spre mare" and a lyrics video for “J’Adore”.). I understand why you single out “J’Adore” as a lyric video is different from a music video, but I do not seem why you single out “Spre mare”. It is understand that “Spre mare” has a video from this part of the sentence “All singles benefited of at least one music video” so it is redundant to repeat this information. I would remove the part about “Spre mare” in this sentence for that reason.

Track listing

You mention multiple editions of this album in the article, so you should include the track listings for those here.

This isn't really necessary for an album-related article, and the main track listing suffices, according to Wikipedia policies. Also, we have all the different things on the other versions mentioned throughout the article. Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:24, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense; thank you for letting me know. I need to read through all of these policies one day for real ><. Aoba47 (talk) 20:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments

@Cartoon network freak: Great work with this article. Once my comments are addressed, I will pass this. Aoba47 (talk) 04:15, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: Thank you very much for the review! In reply to your expanding suggestions, I have to say that there are no other sources on the web for expansion. That one review was written in 2017, so I'm glad we have at least one

Sadly, Romanian websites don't write that much about a new release, and Romanian songs/albums are not often analyzed/reviewed by international publications. Pre-2014 Inna/Alexandra Stan songs/albums are especially hard(er) to expand on an acceptable level; compare "Be My Lover" to "On the Floor" and you'll see the difference. I guess you're having "good life"; even promotional singles like "Ugly" that haven't charted anywhere get so much coverage that its article mostly triples that for Party Never Ends. I hope you got me ;) Best regards and THX again, Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:24, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for addressing my comments and for your clarifications. I completely understand your points. I just wanted to double-check that all of the bases were covered. I will happily ✓ Pass this. Great work. Aoba47 (talk) 20:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
