 * Comment: refs 28 and 29 need magazine name and accessdate. Also, ref 56 (billboard 200) is a deadlink, but a replacement link exists here. Also the first hook needs a couple tiny tweaks for grammar. I'll leave it for someone else to do a full review as some of the sources I do not have access to myself. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:22, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, re the last issue - bad cut and paste. D'oh. I didn't add the Rolling Stones sources, so that explains why they haven't used the full parameter set that I normally put in. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:13, 24 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:48, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Interesting Good article, on excellent sources, no copyvio obvious. I'd go for ALT4 ALT3, because we can't show the artwork ;) - striking 2 that rely too much on knowing names, for my taste. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Gerda Arendt, there isn't an ALT4; can you please let us know which of the remaining hook (or hooks) are approved? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:23, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I hit the wrong key, ALT3. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:31, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * For extra clarity: ALT1 and ALT3 are approved, and the others struck. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
