Nicholas Michael Halim For future reference, I would recommend to put info like this in your sandbox before inserting it into any article, rather than a talk page. --K. Peake 09:40, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nicholas Michael Halim The release date is supposed to be after the opening sentence of the first para, starting with, "It was released..." --K. Peake 09:17, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The two year development part should be mentioned in the same sentence as the one about what the album was based on, but the latter is not sourced
Hmmm..? Maybe I have misunderstood you, but do you mean what the film was based on? This album is clearly the work of Ismail Darbar and Birju Maharaj and I did not found any sources that stated it was inspired by anything. --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 11:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nicholas Michael Halim Yes I did, as I had initially misunderstood the wording of the article... this developmental info should be after the part about the tracks and lyrics. Also, regarding the novel, you should mention that somwhere in the first section actually. --K. Peake 12:28, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not done for mentioning the novel in the body --K. Peake 07:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My bad, I remove that sentence to avoid misunderstanding from readers, because the film that was based on the novel not the soundtrack. --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 07:35, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Mention the Bengali novel by name and add (1917) in brackets
You missed changing "used" to "uses". --K. Peake 07:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nicholas Michael Halim This is the only issue remaining and to elaborate, it is about the instruments that are featured on the album so "uses" is the correct language. --K. Peake 09:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I did say to move the development and release parts but to be specific, the release sentence should start with "It was released..." like the mid-sentence formation here
"The entire soundtrack and lyrics was composed by" → "The entire soundtrack was composed by" per the source
I had wrote respectively there. And... if that's not what you mean, I have added an additional source... --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 12:19, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nicholas Michael Halim What I meant was that the source does not mention the lyrics being composed by Darbar, hence me writing "per the source". --K. Peake 17:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Times of India ref should be used for the opening sentence of this section instead
"The soundtrack album, which was highly-anticipated at the time, has nine original songs and one background score", this sentence right? I added an Indian Express source. --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 12:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nicholas Michael Halim Yes, I am referring to that sentence; the iTunes ref did not back up the anticipation or the classifications of the songs. --K. Peake 17:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"even before its release on" → "prior to release on"
"it emerged as the third-highest-selling Bollywood soundtrack of the year," → "Devdas emerged as the third-highest-selling Bollywood soundtrack of 2002,"
"Shah Rukh Khan—on the channel through June and July that year." → "Rukh Khan—through June and July of 2002."
Done, expect for the name, I prefer to use Shah Rukh Khan than Rukh Khan because it sounds better. --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 12:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is fine, baring in mind that Shah Rukh is not the only person with the surname of Khan referenced in the article. --K. Peake 07:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
""[t]he "Bairi Piya" picturisation" → ""[t]he 'Bairi Piya' picturisation" plus is this a full sentence quoted? If not, then remove the punctuation from inside the quote per MOS:QUOTE.
The Times of India ref should be used for the track listing too, as it mentions the background score, plus you need to add one of the refs here that verifies the lyrics and music credits
I added {{main|List of accolades received by Devdas (2002 Hindi film)}}, which directs to all of awards the film and soundtrack have won and (of course) the dates.
Two refs should not be in the same row; change the span of them to only being alongside the awards they back up
Umm... What do you mean? The awards table is perfect, I followed this article's style but without adding the dates. Or you mean this? --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 13:27, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nicholas Michael Halim I was referring to the latter but my apologies, it appears the style currently in place is decent so you needn't change this. Also, there are a number of changes that you have not implemented despite marking them as done; should I go through these or will you have another look through yourself to check? --K. Peake 17:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nicholas Michael Halim I left comments in relevant areas above; there are quite a few things you must have missed. --K. Peake 07:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nicholas Michael Halim✓Pass now, you may have missed a number of points initially but that can be prone to happening for large articles and good job in having everything fixed in under a day's time! --K. Peake 09:39, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
