 * Please correct these troublesome external links.

 * "Album artwork" is a relatively small section, and would fit nicely into the "Background" section.

 * "Promotion" is also a small section, and doesn't need individual subheads for "Tour" and "Short film".

 * The citations use many different formats when listing the date (MM-DD-YYYY; DD-MM-YYYY; Day Month Year; Month Day, Year). Please pick one style (my personal preference is Month Day, Year) to use throughout the article.

 * This isn't a big deal, but could we replace the existing covers with versions without the Parental Advisory logo? My understanding is that Wikipedia prefers unmarked covers if available.
 * I found a version of the standard edition without the PA sticker, but after a while of searching I could not find one without it for the deluxe edition. The deluxe is not even available on iTunes in a clean version, so I hope this wont be an issue.  STATic  message me!  23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * No worries, not a big issue at all. WikiRedactor (talk) 18:56, 3 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I like the information you have in the introduction, although it feels a little oddly ordered. I'd recommend a three-paragraph version, the first with the background and producers, the second with critical and commercial performance, and the third with singles and promotional efforts.

 * "Background" looks good.
 * In "Recording and production", can you change the wording of 'outro' to something like 'closing/final track'? I'm just not sure if outro is as familiar of a term as 'intro', but otherwise the section looks good.

 * "Music and lyrics" looks good, although the LA Times link needs to be fixed.
 *  STATic  message me!  23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * "Album artwork" content looks good.
 * "Promotion" content looks good, although the GQ link needs to be fixed.
 * I think I fixed it, not really sure what you were referring to.  STATic  message me!  23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I was referring to the reference that links to the GQ website, but anyways you took care of it so we're all set. WikiRedactor (talk) 18:56, 3 November 2013 (UTC)


 * In "Singles", the original chart position for "Poetic Justice" isn't sourced by the given citation, and there's a Billboard reference that needs to be fixed.
 *  STATic  message me!  23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * In "Commercial performance", there's a Washington Post reference that needs to be fixed. Also, it's not necessary to list the second through seventh-week sales in those choppy sentences; a quick summary of the total sales by the seventh week will suffice. (Also, please clarify that you are referring to U.S. sales.) There is also a bit of overlinking to the RIAA page in this section. I'd also like to see some of the international chart positions converted into prose for this section.
 * ✅, hope it looks good now, looks much more concise to me.  STATic  message me!  23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * "Critical reception" looks good.
 * "Controversy" looks good.
 * There's a bare URL in "Charts", but it otherwise looks good.
 *  STATic  message me!  23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * "Certifications" looks good.
 * In "Release history", please find a source for this vinyl release.
 * Unsourced, so removed.  STATic  message me!  23:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Overall, a solid article. Just a few minor areas that I'd like to see corrected, and I'll have no issue passing the article when they are completed. WikiRedactor (talk) 20:32, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the review, I hope to get this done today, if not it will be definitely done by the end of tomorrow.  STATic  message me!  20:48, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * No rush, take your time. WikiRedactor (talk) 22:04, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I believe I have made the necessary changes you detailed. I also made a few comments above, if there is anything else that needs to be done, please let me know.  STATic  message me!  01:17, 3 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm happy with the changes you have made. I went ahead and made a few additional adjustments, which may look like a huge edit by the number, although much of it was simply removing unused fields/extra spaces in templates. Anyways, I'm happy to pass the article! Good work! WikiRedactor (talk) 18:56, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
