Release History and Overlink[edit]

I restored the release history to its original state. As even though MOS:ALBUM is just a guideline, prospective GA reviewers will require this article to adhere to it. Another thing, the other catalog number (888750708526) is for the standard edition only, while the other (888750708625) is for the deluxe edition. And per WP:OVERLINK, links may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead, but if helpful for readers, which in release history, is helpful.

It violates WP:OVERLINK and the MOS:Albums only states it as an example; the previous format is how it's listed on other album pages. And you don't list the full "Records" title, either. And it says MAY be, not SHOULD be. There are GA Articles that follow the previous format, which should be used to keep consistency throughout all album articles. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 13:37, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So I re-edited the release history to adhere to the parameters you wish to keep, while maintaining the common set-up that is used for the release history, with proper linking, so we both get the set-up we believe should be used within the article. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 13:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Run Run Run[edit]

All are welcome to assist with the expansion and discussion (see talk page) of Run Run Run (Tokio Hotel song), which is slightly tricky given the song's somewhat unique history. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:25, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the release and promotion section as well as The Promotional Singles section, can you add that Take You High was released on iTunes on February 26, 2015 and Someone was released (also to iTunes) the following day on February 27, 2015. The source is already cited in the article. Source — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.98.193.84 (talk) 15:36, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done I have added the text to the end of the "Release and promotion" section, but not in the "Promotional singles" section, as I think that that would be unnecessarily redundant. Mz7 (talk) 21:10, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

There are inaccuracies within the entirety of the reception body of the article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt898989 (talk • contribs) 05:13, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section[edit]

I changed the opening numbers of Piece by Piece to 97,000 units since the Billboard 200 is the chart being discussed in the lead section (The new Billboard 200 is a multi-metric system). The 83,000 units are the figures accounted on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart. Chihciboy (talk) 01:48, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wording throughout whole article needs to be reworked[edit]

I've just made a large number of edits to this page. Some sentences were written in future tense before the album was released and just needed to be confirmed and switched to past tense (and at times re-cited). I made a couple changes to follow conventions of quotes-within-quotes and use of brackets vs. parentheses in quoted material. Many, many sentences are grammatically incorrect or, at best, confusing. One example in under "Singles": "Receiving a positive response in its initial release, music critics described the track as a celebration of Clarkson's return to mainstream pop music." As it stands, the phrase that starts with "Receiving" describes the sentence subject, "music critics". But clearly it was not the critics who received a positive response- the track did. There are many correct ways to express the same thought, but this is not one. I fixed numerous mistakes like this in the "Background and Recording", "Themes and Influences", and "Song Analysis" sections, but there's a lot more to do in "Release" and following sections. If you fix a section, please let us know here on the talk page. If I find time to make more corrections, I'll update this to let everyone know what's done and what's left to do. We want this article to read like it was written by someone who's fluent in English and who has a high school diploma. There's a lot of good information in here, but it's not expressed properly.

I have now edited through the first paragraph of "Critical response". Jojopeanut (talk) 15:56, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
