Hello here. I suppose I can edit the sandbox right? Tomica1111 (talk)
 * Yep lol Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  17:52, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * See the lead part. I hadn't really time so I didn't link, do that and fix what you think should be fixed. See ya later :) Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Don't add any more sections until the lead is done. There are quite a few points that don't make sense, and quite a few grammatical errors. I'll fix it. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  18:11, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. I just linked some "words". Fix it and than we will continue. Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Okay, I'll do it tomorrow morning. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  13:52, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Lead info
I've gone through and made changes, read through it a couple of times and tell me if you have a problem with anything. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9 17:08, 2 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I like it :) It's great. I reworked the singles section I am posting it now. Note I didn't know how to write about "Man Down" music's video short description I know you will fix that ;) ! Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Okay, I'll do it tomorrow now, it will take some time as it's a big section. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  18:32, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Singles section
Sorry I didn't get round to doing it today, will defo do it tomorrow. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9 21:52, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok Calv. I will try to do the live performances section, but when it comes to the tour, it isn't very developed so there is not something so much for to write. Tomica1111  (talk)
 * As you made the What's My Name article a GA, can you get me the website URLs for this statement in the lead info please: "Music critics praised the song as some of Rihanna's best vocal work to date. They also praised its romantic nature of the song, as well as its sexual tones. However, there was some negative criticism towards Drake's lyrics which included a sexual innuendo about the square root of 69." That sums up the critics thoughts perfectly.

 * This might help ? Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Cool thanks. I have done the singles section now, have a read through a tell me of any problems or typo's. It took nearly three hours to do lol. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  16:31, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol man you are too slow. Hah just kiddin. Well I have few questions. You have done F great edits and webcited the refs, but don't the section seem too big for you? It's like huge, and I think that we can cut some details. And also I don't understand the section about "Man Down". It's kinda mixed. Also I think that "California King" Bed image will fail, because it's not a free image. What do you think ? Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Lol well, it's what you get when there are 6 singles and 3 of them a hugely successful, there is a lot of info. I don't think it is too detailed. The Man Down paragraph starts off how the single came about, a bit of background info, then goes into the description of the single, like the ones for Only Girl, What's My Name and S&M. We'll leave it for now, then once the whole article is finished, before submitting for GA, we'll list it for a Peer Review so someone else can go through it thoroughly. That way, we get a decent review without the possibility of getting failed. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  16:53, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I must say you are right. I guess those three are MONSTER SINGLES (not monsters like gaga lol). Well what's next? Can we give ourself tasks? Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Lol. Well let's try to do it in order of the current article, because there is nothing really wrong with that. Do the Background section next. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  16:58, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Completely forgot that audio samples and pics aren't allowed, a BOT removed them. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  18:33, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually I didn't know about it xD. Ok than, without them and later we will visual the article. Tomica1111 (talk)

Background
Calvin I made the Background section. I am not so satisfied with it and I think it's kinda f**ked up, but let see what you think and of course improve it in your way. Tomica1111 (talk)
 * I can see you are busy, I will start making the music section :). Btw you have problem with the reference no. 10 in "Only Girl (In the World). Hehe just a lil help :) ! Tomica1111 (talk)
 * Lol yes. I've been doing 3 GA Reviews as well as making the changes to the Only Girl Peer Review. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  15:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This section needs quite a bit of work, and I need to find more sources to make the section better. No need to mention Chris Brown here, it was okay to talk about him on the Rated R article because that's what inspired a lot of the album, but he has no influence on Loud and doesn't need to be spoken about. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  17:16, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Music
I have a F problem. I do not really how to organize the music section ! :/ I want to describe the songs one by one (#), but I don't know what to write in the lead for the music section. The article's section is kinda stupid also. Can you give me an idea and than i will write it? Tomica1111 (talk)
 * I'll go through it tomorrow. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  19:19, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I've been really busy. I have a full day tomorrow where I can go through everything. We'll try and get the whole article done by next sunday. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  13:52, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok ;) ! Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Yeah this section needs to be copy-edited and considerably expanded. Just write about the songs that where info about the musicality and composition is available. Should be easy as the six singles article all have info about them. Try getting reviewers opinions about the music, or the songs specifically, where they comment on the lyrics as well. This should be re-named "Music and lyrics". Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  17:19, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I finished with the content, but the main music section should be expanded. I hope you will have time to write it. Also I think you should grammatically go throw whole the article. When you do that we should discuss how we are going to mash up the promotion with live performances and tour. Greetings  Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Just to say HI and congratulations on LTWYL (Part II) GA status. An incredible article and also song. Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Thanks :). I will do some work on this article today!! Now that some reviews are off my shoulders. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  16:52, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey Calvin, I hope you very soon will give a review to the article, so we can copy it and make a GA. I can't wait ! :)) Tomica1111  (talk)
 * hey, I have a huge problem with how the references have been formatted (mainly with the background and recording section), and if they aren't changed, it will fail GAN. All references, where applicable, should look like this: Only use "cite news" for news websites, like newspapers etc. MTV should be "cite web". In the "work=" parameter, if the website is not a news site/newspaper, then they should be italicised, which counteracts it as they should be normal. Only news sites/newspapers should not be italicised in the actual reference, as they do it automatically. Plus, for "date" and "accessdate", they should be like this, e.g.: 2011-07-16 (year-month-day). I will change the ones whilst going through the background and recording section, but please follow this for future edits to this sandbox. Everything must be consistent, especially how the dates are written, otherwise it will fail. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  12:33, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course, but we made a deal if you remember in the beginning that the ref we gonna leave when we write the article, however you can check only the gramaticalls and expand some sections if you can, and I will rework all the refs. Tomica1111  (talk)
 * Cool. Plus, I just added a lot to the article, but all sections under the Tracklisting don't need to be changed. Calvin  &bull; 9 9 9  12:59, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
