 * I'll do this one.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Please resolve the disambiguation issues from the toolbox to the right. --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:28, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I have no idea how to go about solving this or even interpretation the data. Please offer my solutions, not problems. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 03:50, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You have to replace the references or remove the content. It seems that 6 or 7 problem citations has become just 2.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:33, 18 September 2012 (UTC)


 * WP:LEAD
 * Is "...drawing her vocal talent to question" grammatically correct? --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ❌ It reads fine to me. If you can suggest a better rewording, I'd be happy to change it. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * How about changing "drawing her vocal talent to question" to "have led to scrutiny regarding her vocal talent," "have brought attention to the controversy surrounding her true vocal talent," or "leading to curiosity about her vocal talent level."--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:33, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ I wrote-in one of your suggestions. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 23:00, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Early life
 * Since this is an article about a musician, trumpet, saxophone and marching band are relevant enough terms to link. --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:43, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Same with Billboard and trip-hop track. --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:43, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ resolved these issues. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * 2009–10: Animal and Cannibal
 * Is something missing in this sentence:"Soon after, Kesha signed a multi-album deal with RCA Records through Dr. Luke's imprint, after negotiations with Lava Records and Flo Rida's record label, Atlantic Records as well." --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ It's a complete thought, an awkwardly worded one yes. Rewrote for clarity. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The sentence continues to have two main problems:
 * It begins with "Soon after". This is not only the first sentence of a paragraph, but also the first sentence of a section. As a result, if soon after is a referent to a prior paragraph and section, it must be reworded. It seems to mean soon after the stuff in the last section. This is not proper sentence construction for the first sentence of a section.
 * The part beginning with "after negotiations with Lava Records" seems to be run on or something because it is not referring to the subject prior to the comma. I.e., Dr. Luke's imprint is not being modified by the after negotiations stuff. You need to either rearrange or make this a separate sentence that is a complete thought.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:21, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ Resolved both issues. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 22:31, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The "after failing to negotiate with Lava Records and Flo Rida's record label, Atlantic Records." is still modifying the nearest noun incorrectly. You need to move it to before Kesha.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:52, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅--Thevampireashlee (talk) 03:46, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "She had accumulated over 200 songs which forced her to increase the tracklisting from the intended twelve songs to fourteen." is unclear to me. What does "accumulated over 200 songs"? Why did that necessitate adding 2 songs? --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ She couldn't decide on just 12. She liked too many songs. Clarified. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "First single, "Tik Tok" topped the charts in eleven countries and set the weekly record for the most digital downloads of a female artist and became the second best-selling single in a week in the US, after "Right Round", by shifting 610,000 copies."
 * Shifting?
 * Has the record been broken.❌
 * Second best selling single of all-time?❌--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅I recycled text from Tik Tok which explained it better. It's not the best selling single of all-time. It sold the most copies for a digital single in one week. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 23:00, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ "Shifts" is the text used by Billboard. It's jargony. I reworded the entire sentence, because it was really really confusing. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is "Talent Agencies Act" a federal or state statute?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is this a law, statute, regulation or what?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:49, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Thevampireashlee (talk) 23:06, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "play the role of the devil on the song "What Baby Wants"" confuses me.
 * Is it a video role, a duet song or what?
 * Is the song from a known album?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ Expanded on these points. She "sings" from the perspective of a devil character in the song. It's a persona. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As written, it is still unclear whether she sings/performs on the track or performs in the video.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:49, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ I believe I worded this better. If this is insufficient, I do not know how to make it clearer. There is no music video for the song. She sings as the devil. Please leave a suggested wording if this is not good enough.--Thevampireashlee (talk) 23:00, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * 2011-present: Second Studio Album
 * provided her blood?? --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ Yes, they used her actual blood as a stage prop. It's their "thing". --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Clarify this to the reader, not to me the reviewer where it will never be seen.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Thevampireashlee (talk) 23:06, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Auto-tune? --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Link first use, not 2nd.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:25, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Thevampireashlee (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Additional changes

 * ✅ 2b - I believe I fixed all the citation issues. But since I have never used this tool and find it difficult to interpret the data, I could be wrong. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 08:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ 6a - I added the template to each image.--Thevampireashlee (talk) 08:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ 6b - I checked the captions against the wording guideline and against their source pages to ensure accuracy. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 08:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
