1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Lead Y Background and release Y Reception ~~I'm not too sure about the use of the word "eventually" a few times in this section - it may imply that the charting and certification was overdue. I'd suggest rewording.~~ Track listing Y Credits and personnel Y Charts Y Certifications and sales Y
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Lead sections Y Layout Y Words to watch ~~See section 1a about use of the word "eventually".~~ Fiction N/A List incorporation Y
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Citations and references are located in the appropriate places.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	Source spot-check Rooksby, Rikky (2004). Two new songs, "Justify My Love" and "Rescue Me", were included on the album in order to generate public interest, and were later released as singles from the project. I cannot find the info on either of these pages to suggest that the two songs were newly-released or that they were later released at singles - can you help me here? I've adjusted the page numbers and, for their later release as singles, added a Billboard source. For the "newly-released" part, the book says: Of course, plenty of people already owned these tracks so to entice them to invest in this collection whoever put it together adopted the old trick of spicing it up with two new songs. they go on to describe "Justify My Love" and "Rescue Me" Averageuntitleduser (talk) 23:26, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply] Madonna (1990). 7599-38195-2.
