(Redirected from Wikipedia:Peer review/Return of Saturn)
Hoping to improve the article to GA status. There's currently lots of information in the Background and Composition sections, but the Critical reception and Chart performance section seem rather short. Five reviews from major publications seems enough to "address" the topic, but I'm mostly concerned with the information on chart performance. At the moment, it's all about North America since I've only found information about that and select, often minor, other countries. Does anyone know where I could get more information about it or how I might be able to expand the section? 17Drew 20:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

- Statements such as "The music of Return of Saturn further explores the No Doubt's New Wave influences, while adding an alternative rock feel and maintaining some of the band's ska and reggae sounds." and "No Doubt experiments with several new styles on the album. "Ex-Girlfriend", which originally featured a Prince-style funk sound, was rewritten and includes rapped vocals over piano and flamenco guitar parts" require citations. This is true whenever you discuss experimentation, style and sound with respect to music. Also, per WP:LEAD, I don't feel it adequately summarizes the article. Wisdom89 07:02, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- The first sentence is covered by the references in that paragraph, and the second one is cited to reference 12 (since consecutive sentences being sourced to the same reference use a citation at the end of them and not one at the end of each individual sentence). The lead won't be a problem to expand at all, but I was hoping for some help with the Chart performance section before summarizing it in the lead. 17Drew 07:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Do you mean in terms of how to expand it? If such is the case, you are not limited to how well it performed on the billboard 200, there are mainstream rock and internet media based charts as well for singles. You could dig around for that information. I'm not sure it would need much summarizing in the lead anyway. A single statement regarding its high/low position on different charts would suffice.

- ! That's a great idea. I can't find any other Internet sources since the album is seven years old, but I can definitely add information about the singles, like how only one single charted on the Billboard Hot 100. 17Drew 06:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
