Looking through the sources, I question the Nude as the News source since it isn't in the Reliable Album Sources page. I also think that Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet CD Album needs to be removed and have it be replaced by others.


 * I replaced the NudeastheNews ref. since it was a dead link, but the other reference you mentioned, from CD Universe, doesn't need to be removed. The information from that reference is published by Muze, a provider of media information about products such as CDs. Dan56 (talk) 20:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll get back to that link later. There should be a table for the certifications the album got. Something like in Weezer. GamerPro64 (talk) 15:33, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * If this album only received one certification, the RIAA platinum one, then a table really isn't warranted (WP:Albums/Article body). Dan56 (talk) 20:25, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah. Never noticed that. Now, I would like to get a second opinion on if CD Universe is a reliable source if that's alright. GamerPro64 (talk) 20:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure, but it's really Muze that is the source (shown at bottom of the page in copyright). CD Universe is just one of the several retail sites that uses their information; J&R, Best Buy, Buy.com, to name a few. Dan56 (talk) 20:41, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

CD Universe and other retailers are fine to use to source release info, but not reviews. Reviews should almost only be sourced by the publication itself. Adabow (talk · contribs) 03:39, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Looking through the article once again, it looks ready to be passed. Cheers! GamerPro64  20:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Regarding your post here, what's the problem with them? They's been acceptable for several other GA/FA-articles: Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Californication (album), Kid A, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Illmatic, God's Son, Surfer Rosa, Led Zeppelin II, Anodyne (album), Reasonable Doubt. ....

 * The two links I showed you are like CD Universe and besides, the articles you gave as examples became GA/FA in 2007-08. They may not be up to date to today's standards. GamerPro64  17:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * CD Universe seems fine to use, except for reviews as the 2nd opinion says. But how is Acclaimed Music not up to the standards, exactly? Dan56 (talk) 18:04, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The links I gave you aren't the real citations. They are just a mish-mash of accolades from different magazines or websites, just like CD Universe was to reviews. GamerPro64  18:09, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Not really a mish-mash; the accolades compiled are all related to the album. I replaced the direct references to a publication/accolade, but there are two citations using AcclaimedMusic that support a general statement and not a specific accolade, such as "has been named one of the best songs of all time by numerous publications.[1][49]". Is that all right? Dan56 (talk) 19:29, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I guess. GamerPro64 19:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
