 * Pass or Fail:
 * Pass or Fail:


 * "The album went gold in Canada and platinum in the United States." Explain what "going gold" means.  A little rewording and a link to Music recording sales certification will to the trick.
 * Re-phrased. Is that better? Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Better in the article, but still needs to be addressed in the lead.


 * "Björk and Hooper's recording ideas were very similar, which made decide to end production work with Massey and Fox." Reword the "made decide" part.
 * Re-phrased. I should learn to write at something over a 2nd grade level. Fixed! Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * "Hooper introduced Björk to studio technology, and studio programmer Marius De Vries" Don't need a comma there.
 * Removed useless comma! Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * "Hooper produced all the tracks from track one to track ten on the album" Howabout something like "produced the first ten tracks"?
 * Yeah that's much better. fixed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * "and foreshadow the style her later albums would take." Although I can't check the source citing this statement, this is inherently an opinion comparing some of her work here and her later work, not necessarily fact as it is presented.  Unless the source specifically says that, I'd recommend removing the statement completely.
 * Removed!Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * "The New York Times described "Human Behaviour"'s" avoid the awkward 's after quotations.
 * Fixed quotation use.Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * "Debut was released on 5 July 1993 on on compact disc and cassette on One Little Indian in the United Kingdom and through Elektra Records in North America." Fix the "on on", but also, there's alot of "on"s as it is, so it reads a little awkwardly. Try and reword.
 * Re-worded, and removed the dreaded double-word-use. Is there an echo in here here?Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * "Debut has won awards, was placed on "best of" chart listings, and has been acclaimed by critics since its initial release." This is a very awkward sentence, and has pov issues as well.
 * Re-phrased slightly to make it make more sense. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Not sure what the "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" sentence is doing in the reception section. Drewcifer (talk) 20:09, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I was going to use that part in part of a section about the Tour for debut, but i'll save it for another day. removed for now. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
