 * Can we move this along please? – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:03, 26 March 2022 (UTC)


 * "Costello kept his day job as a data entry clerk at Elizabeth Arden during the sessions" wrong link
 * Fixed


 * "Also recorded during the sessions were more adventurous numbers such as "Hoover Factory", "Dr. Luther's Assistant", "Ghost Train" and "Strangers in the House", which were omitted from My Aim Is True and appeared on EPs and singles" → "More adventurous numbers such as "Hoover Factory", "Dr. Luther's Assistant", "Ghost Train" and "Strangers in the House" were also recorded during the sessions, but were omitted from My Aim Is True; instead appearing on EPs and singles."
 * Reworded first part but semi-colon does not work here. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 01:23, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I think that the "name change" subsection should be into a different subsection, because I don't know how this has anything to do with the recording of the album itself.
 * He recorded the album while still under the name D.P. and didn't go by Elvis until afterwards, so I'd say it directly correlates. But I agree I'm not sure where it belongs exactly. It needs to be before packaging since that reads "Elvis Is King". Maybe it's own main section since there's enough info? – zmbro (talk) (cont) 14:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)


 * "Consequence of Sound's Nick Freed wrote that the album combines elements of the British punk movement combined with 1950s and 1960s-style rock and roll. He found tracks like "Miracle Man", "No Dancing" and "Alison" utilise that style to create doo-wop and R&B melodies, thereby "taking the '50s and '60s ideas and adding the modern spin"." → "Consequence of Sound's Nick Freed wrote that the album combines elements of the British punk movement combined with 1950s and 1960s-style rock and roll; finding that tracks like "Miracle Man", "No Dancing" and "Alison" utilise that style to create doo-wop and R&B melodies, thereby "taking the '50s and '60s ideas and adding the modern spin"."
 * Fine as is. Not everything requires a semi-colon. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 01:28, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * " ' "Alison" followed on 14 May, backed by "Welcome to the Working Week",[37] which similarly performed poorly.[33]" Did both songs fail, or was it just one of the songs. Because if it really was just one song, this should be specified.
 * Both did. Changed similarly to also – zmbro (talk) (cont) 01:34, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * "his final release for Stiff was "Watching the Detectives"; it became both the artist and label's first single to reach the UK top 20." → "his final release for Stiff was "Watching the Detectives", which became both the artist and label's first single to reach the UK top 20."
 * Done


 * "It further placed in other year-end lists by Rolling Stone, NME (3) and Sounds (9).[42][56][57][58]" Ref 42 does not make sense here
 * Fixed


 * "Its first extended reissue came in October 1993 through Demon in the UK and Rykodisc in the US. This edition featured nine bonus tracks and extensive liner notes written by Costello himself.[13][46][36]" → "Its first extended reissue came in October 1993 through Demon in the UK and Rykodisc in the US, which featured nine bonus tracks and extensive liner notes written by Costello himself.[13][46][36]"
 * Done


 * Copyvio is ok.


 * I think I'm going to pass now. I'm going to assume that OR is alright, but some refs (such as ref 11 or 27) may need specific page numbers. Realmaxxver (talk) 14:14, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
