I will be reviewing this article. Bruce Campbell (talk) 08:10, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Lead


 * "The successful Otis Blue and the following performance at Whisky a Go Go led to rising fame across the United States." -> "The successful Otis Blue and the following performance at Whisky a Go Go led to his rising fame across the United States."
 * Critic Jon Landau called it "The finest record ever to come out of Memphis and certainly the best example of modern soul ever recorded." -> probably best to move to the reception section. In the lead, just mention that the album received highly positive reviews or something.

Recording


 * "Parts of the song were later mixed in the Grammy Award-winning "Otis" by hip-hop artists Jay-Z and Kanye West." -> even though I know this is true, reference this sentence.

Track listing


 * The reference for Tracklisting links to the credits section of Allmusic when it should just link to the Overview section, because the tracklisting is actually placed there.
 * Instead of just linking directly to Allmusic, you should reference it. Like for example, "Tracklisting adapted from Allmusic" and then just use reference 7 to reference it.

Personnel
 * Again, instead of linking directly to Allmusic, reference it. At the top of the section you should put "Credits for Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul adapted from Allmusic" instead.

Charts


 * Same thing again, reference instead of directly linking.
 * Why?--Kürbis (✔) 16:23, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

References


 * Wikilink Allmusic and Rovi Corporation on reference 7.
 * Wikilink Rolling Stone on reference 12, add publisher which is Jann Wenner.
 * On reference 14, fix publisher and and work.
 * Separate the linked references and the book references. Take Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul for example, note how the references are done.

Overall, good work. If these corrections can be made the article can be passed. Bruce Campbell (talk) 19:56, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Done all, except I wrote "Wenner Media" instead of the person, who is I think not the only publisher. Thanks for your comments. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 16:23, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
