I've done a quick run-through of the Lead. I may come back to it later. Next I'll tackle the wikitables.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:10, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

General comment: in your wikitables, as much as possible, for same or similarly named columns try to make them the same size and style.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 13:12, 12 February 2011 (UTC) shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:24, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Peak charts for some markets are in later years? If so, note(s) to that effect should be supplied per album.
 * 2) Delink overlinkage of AUS in the body of the table (last two columns) – leave first appearance but delete other(s).
 * 3) Fix link pipe on US in body, first appearance should go to Record Industry Association of America. Second or subsequent appearances should be delinked.
 * 4) Cite source for WW sales.
 * 5) Lead tells me they are signed with Sire Records, why do I find a release by Pony Canyon? While talking about Sire, its affiliation with Warner Music should be mentioned in Lead too.
 * 6) While talking about the compilation, the Pony Canyon website implies the album title is merely Complete by The Veronicas not The Veronicas Complete. See here. This is supported by eil.com, a resale website, here. The release does not appear at their MusicBrainz entry, here. I can't find mention of this album title on their official website. This needs to be fixed and the article The Veronicas Complete may need to be renamed if its title is only Complete.
 * 7) Delink second & later linked terms.
 * 8) First two EPs appear to be live recordings, a note is needed.
 * 9) In singles table delink previously linked album titles.
 * 10) Couldn't find The Veronicas' "4Ever" on Billboard website. So you need a ref for 112 position.
 * 11) Soundtrack appearances: "Us Against The World" > "Us Against the World"
 * 12) Music videos: some directors still needed.
 * 13) Version > version Seven times.
 * 14) / > : (colon with a space after) or / (space before and after slash).
 * 15) "Take Me On The Floor" > "Take Me on the Floor" Twice.
 * 16) Song writers should be verified by searching Australasian Performing Right Association website at Works Search e.g. "What's Going On?" was co-written by the twins with Bernholm and Johansson. Co-writers should be acknowledged in a note. You should change intro sentence > Apart from their own music they have also written or co-written songs for other artists. Note: I haven't checked all of these song titles.
 * 17) Written for Casey Donovan for her debut album after winning the second series of Australian Idol.[51] > Written for Casey Donovan's debut album after she won the second series of Australian Idol.[51] Clarifies who won Australian Idol.
 * 18) Luske Steele > Luke Steele Also fix wiki pipe to Luke Steele (musician).
 * 19) when they were 17. > when the twins were about 17. Source does not definitively say they were 17. Without clarification 'they' could mean Luke was 17 too. Also other co-writer(s) needed.

References Comments and numbers relate to the References section & ordering that existed on 14:42, 10 February 2011. Subsequent edits may change the order or the references themselves.
 * 1) Some problems here: the current url points to The Secret Life Of... with its charting outside Australia, the album's track listing and chart trajectory displayed before getting to Australian charts for singles and albums. A better url is "Discography The Veronicas" The publisher is Hung Medien. The work is Australian charts portal. Update Retrieved date, otherwise "This Love", "Take Me on the Floor" or "Popular" are not verified.

 * 3) >  Note change to formatting: no wikilink for Australian Recording Industry Association (previously linked), no italics for publisher, hyphens to endashes in title.

 * 11) Similar to [4].
 * 12) Similar to [5].
 * 13) Author? Date? Publisher not italicised.
 * 14) Needs to be replaced by more authoritative ref: ARIA itself. See [3] for similar.

 * 16) Doesn't give Irish charting: appears to be Australian. Needs to be fixed.
 * 17) Similar to [18] but needs more work. Language is Swiss German
 * 18) For UK positions OCC is preferred, for historical charts see archive.
 * 19) Similar to [4].
 * 20) Change url to this to prevent print window appearing, this one also shows Key for Gold symbol. After publisher provide acronym (RIANZ).
 * 21) Similar to [4].
 * 22) Use RIANZ for NZ accreditations, see here. Similar to [24] but don't link publisher this time.
 * 23) Seems OK.

 * 25) Seems OK.
 * 26) Irish Recorded Music Association site for current charting. Wrong place?
 * 27) Similar to [18] but needs more work. Language is Dutch.
 * 28) Generic Billboard page: does not go to expected chart.

 * 43) Can't find ref. PDF does not load.
 * 44) Official website: not reliable? Expand ref.

 * 46) I get re-directed, it is difficult to find the citation, casual users may need further direction or a better url. Not sure if the MTV biography is based on the Allmusic biography or vice versa but they are very similar. Allmusic does not specify song title for Donovan's work. As indicated earlier, APRA gives the song's writers (including the twins, Bernholm and Johansson) and its performers (including Donovan). Together with Allmusic biography, the claim is verified.
 * 47) Expand ref. Supports Donovan's song and DeAraugo's song.

Other appearances? According to Allmusic, as Lisa & Jessica, they released three albums: I can't find the names of these. As members of Teal they released a single, "Baby Its Over", which has also been performed by The Veronicas (see APRA). Some of their song writing for others occurred before they were renamed as The Veronicas.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 07:57, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
