In the track listing, the column "Writer(s)" contains the name of members of the Avalanches which is normal but also some names of the samples writers. I think this is the point of the column "Sample(s)". Also I don't understand why there are some samples writers that appears (like John Lennon and McCartney) but some does not, like for track 11 "Harmony".
Also, I think it makes it unclear, people could think John Lennon participated to the writing of The Avalanches album (which is sadly wrong obviously) as much as Chaz Bundick, except that Chaz is alive and did participated to the writing.
I think only writers of this album should appear in the column "Writer(s)", and samples writers should only appear in the column "Sample(s)". I also think the column "Sample(s)" will grow with people listening to the album and finding new samples, maybe this column will need to be developed later but I don't know how.

The "Writers" column features those credited as such in the album liner notes. You can find Lennon/McCartney and the others listed there. It is normal for sampled music to list the writers of the original work as writers of the new song. The "Samples" column lists samples which have been confirmed by reliable sources such as the liner notes and other published works. As with the rest of Wikipedia, original research is not allowed.

Sorry about the tagging, but there are a few things which need to be fixed concerning the non-free content in the article before this can be promoted to GA status. First, the rationales on all three items (the cover and the two samples) are a little lacking; the "NA"s jump out at me, for instance. Second, the cover image is a little large; 300 by 300 is standard. Third, the samples should (per WP:SAMPLE) be no more than 64kbps. I have no objection to the tag being removed once these small issues have been dealt with. Josh Milburn (talk) 00:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks. I don't know the easiest way to reduce quality of the oggs. I'm using audacity but can't tell if it's working or not. I'll figure it out in due time. TarkusAB00:59, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The album was also a commercial success → The record also experienced commercial success (alternation + WP:FANCRUFT)
it was a number-one album in the band's home country of Australia and a top-ten album in Scotland and the UK. → it reached number one in the band's native Australia and the top 10 in Scotland and the United Kingdom
They plan to release these tracks "within a year" → use "songs" here for alternation
provide a fresh start → omit "fresh" here as it's unencyclopedic
Add release year for There's a Riot Goin' On in brackets
draw from the album's rebellious counter-culture nature, but their cover has a more psychedelic style → draw from the record's rebellious counter-culture nature, however approaching a more psychedelic style.
Remove all album credit citations from "Contains samples of", and add the sentence "Credits adapted from the liner notes of Wildflower.[57]" atop the subtopic
@Cartoon network freak:: Thanks for your review, I addressed all your comments. My only concern is with the copy-vio. The reason for the high percentage is because the song titles are being flagged and each source had a long quote which was brought over. I'm not sure that calls for any editing?
