Weak oppose – Some inconsistencies that can be easily resolved, I believe. Cannibaloki 02:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I got everything. I put a note next to Marc Eagleton (songwriter/producer) and the Mazeeka Ensemble (backing band). Where did you want me to change the seventeen to 17? -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 03:38, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"two compilation albums, seventeen singles, and one video album" Cannibaloki 03:52, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 05:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I made some changes on "Singles" section, but if you do not agree, can undoing. If you like the format, change the value of 3 to 4 in the table of Studio albums. (example: ! style="width:4em;font-size:80%") Regards, Cannibaloki 04:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for making the changes. It looks good! -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 17:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support – All done. Cannibaloki 21:50, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Review by SRX
  • In 1993, Atlas joined ethnic electronica group Transglobal Underground as lead singer and belly dancer. - +the before "lead singer"
  • After the above sentence, it is not stated how she gained prominence solo, it should be noted.
I don't know what else to put. She's famous for her own solo recordings and she never left Transglobal Underground. Throughout the years she has provided vocals for their albums and singles. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The album, composed of traditional Arabic and electronic music, reached number one hundred and twenty-three in the United Kingdom. - because the ranking was in a three digits place, it should be in number format versus words (i.e. #100), since it is distracting to read a big number like that in word format.
  • In the UK, the album reached number one hundred and twenty-eight. - number as well.
  • The album, which features acoustic songs originally performed by Fairuz and Abdel Halim Hafez, reached number one hundred and sixty-two in France. - number as wellSRX 21:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Looks really good. My only complaint is with the prose of introduction paragraph. It goes into alot of detail about each album, but nothing else. No singles, compilation albums, etc. I would forgo going into so much detail about those (who she collaborated with doesn't come up in the list proper, so why should it come up in the introduction), and mention a larger variety of stuff. Other than that, I'd be happy to support. Drewcifer (talk) 01:51, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added your comments into the lead. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 20:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good, so I'm happy to support. However, I do have one more language-based suggestion: the lead is very year-heavy. Most of the sentences begin or contain some form of "In 2002", "In 2004", etc. Try to mix it up, ie "A year later", "The following year", "After a two-year hiatus", etc. It will help it read a little less mechanically. Other than that, great work! Drewcifer (talk) 04:53, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
