Nominating it again. Skomorokh said he would copyedit the article later. Much work has been done to fix the article. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 10:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- See previous FLC (08:23, 8 July 2008)
- Comment - then you should really wait for the copyedit to take place before you nominate it. Have you taken this list to peer review as I've recommended to you in the past? The Rambling Man (talk) 10:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- 6 paras in the lead is too much. Merge.
- "Adams' released his breakthrough" no need for apostrophe.
- Is it platinum or Platinum?
- I don't think Canada needs to be relinked in the second para, do you?
- "followed by such hits as" this isn't a music mag review, it's an encyclopaedia so stick with facts, avoid "hits" for instance.
- " follow up " needs a hyphen.
- "didn't" avoid contractions.
- "previous album it included" - comma after album.
- "peaked at number two in Norway." - that's a hit single? Perhaps. It needs a reference in the lead since you've referenced a few other claims.
- Don't link individual years, eg. 1991.
- "The album has sold a total of 10 million copies worldwide and has become Adams best-selling album worldwide." - try something like "The album became Adams' best-selling album worldwide selling over ten million copies." or something like that.
- ""(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" is a song co-written and performed by Bryan Adams, it was featured on the soundtrack for the film ..." gah..
- " an enormous chart success" - hyperbolic. Define enormous but do it encyclopaedically.
- UK Singles Chart takes capital letters.
- "n the Canadian singles chart in Canada." - where else would the Canadian charts be?
- "which wasn't able to match " avoid contractions.
- " thirty-one on the Billboard 200 and four in Canada."
- 31 on...
- italics for Billboard.
- number four.
- "Adams' became the " no need for apostrophe.
- "The follow up to Waking Up the Neighbours was 18 til I Die which wasn't able to match the sales of Waking Up the Neighbours which lead to the album reaching thirty-one on the Billboard 200 and four in Canada.
In 2006, Adams' became the first Western artist to perform in Karachi, Pakistan, in conjunction with a benefit concert to raise money for underprivileged children to go to school. He would later go on to perform in Tel Aviv and Jericho as part of the OneVoice Movement concerts, aiming to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The peace concert for supporters of a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel was called off because of security concerns." no citations.
- "Adams' released" no need for the apostrophe.
- "...t eighty on the Billboard 200 and one on the Canadian Albums Chart. So far only one single has been released from the album." - he didn't release it at 80, it went in at 80. And "number one" on the Canadian charts. And "So far" needs a time frame. And which single.
- These comments relate purely to the lead. As you can, this needs a lot of work so I'm withdrawing the nomination until the list has been adequately peer reviewed. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
