Checking against GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for criteria)

OK, just a few references need fixing and the prose could do with a thorough brush up. On hold. Major contributors and projects will be informed. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC) OK, all looks fine now. Keep GA status. Thanks for your hard work. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * I made some copy-edits, but I feel taht the prose could be improved throughout. It is rather choppy with many repeated truns of phrase that could be improved. MoS compliant. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * A number of dead links which have been tagged. Ref #1 is OK, but it is now 2009, could do with an update on this statistic; Ref #36 was dead but i find a replacementa t Billboard, w=howver this does not support all of the diffrenet statements referenced, due to Billboard restructuring their site; ref #45 I can't find a direct replacement for; ref #54 , The Brits have removed their archives, not at the Internet archive, either; ref #60 , I am sure you can find a better review that one on an online shopping site, not very RS;
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

To address the cumulative sales total: these number are hard to come by and often aren't updated for years. This is the best we've got for now. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:57, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Dead links have been updated - although I removed the reference for the release date of 4:13 Dream as this isn't controversial and likely to be disputed. --JD554 (talk) 08:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I've given the prose another go over, but I'm not sure I can I identify the choppiness you mention. It seems to do pretty well for readability. --JD554 (talk) 09:30, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
