Hi Candyo32, I will review Goodies according to the GA criteria. — Legolas (talk2me) 08:07, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Can you start by replacing all the normal dashes with en-dash? Thanks — Legolas (talk2me) 05:52, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Here's the real deal
- lead - Ciara's talents were noticed --> by whom?
- Done
- through the lead, title single -> use any one adjective
- Done
- female crunk counterpart to "Yeah" and "Freek-a-Leek" --> mention the artists and the year in braces
- Done
- With Ciara hailed as the "Princess or First Lady of Crunk&B", the album uses dance music while utilizing pop, R&B, and hip-hop influences. --> Try to rephrase this. Doesnot seem clear tying up the title with the composition.
- Done but it still seems kind of iffy. Do you have a wording suggestion?
- contridictory ??
- Done, fixed spelling
- independent lyrics --> ?? you meant "promoting female empowerment and independence in the lyrics of the title track"??
- Done, independent--->independence, among other wording changes.
- Most contemporary critics --> contemporary is a redundant word here as an album of 2004 will have contemporary critics reviewing it.
- Done
- Come to think of it, you haven't linked the title track anywhere in the lead
- Done
- 2.7. million ?? what is that extra dot doing there?
- Done
- The second peaked at the top spot in Canada --> I don't follow
- After leaving the recently created group Hearsay, at fifteen, Atlanta native Ciara earned a writing job, via her manager, for Atlanta's Tricky Stewart and The-Dream's RedZone Entertainment, penning songs for Mýa and Fantasia among others — over usage of commas. Try something like "After leaving the group Hearsay at the age of fifteen, Atlanta native Ciara earned a writing job via her manager, for Atlanta's Tricky Stewart and The-Dream's RedZone Entertainment, penning songs for Mýa and Fantasia among others."
- Done
- On Ciara, Jazze Pha -> About Ciara
- Done
- Atlanta's Ludacris and T.I.. -> there's two full-stops. Why?
- Period after the I in T.I. and then the period, I assume this is right?
- When talking about the album, Ciara said it was universal --> An album can't be universal, rather its theme
- Done
- before being dethroned by the future Diamond-certified album Confessions, by labelmate and fellow Atlanta resident Usher, coincidentally including the titular track's male counterpart, "Yeah." — This is a strong example of WP:PEACOCK and WP:UNDUE.
- Done
- certified 3x Platinum by -> We don't use such linguistics. Use three-times instead.
- Done
- Also, for the certifications, include the number of albums shipped to be precise about the sales.
- Removed "sales" since sales totals are unknown for each territory.
- remaining to be Ciara's sole certification in the UK --> becoming Ciara's sole certified album in UK.
- Done
- Sales and certifications --> Correct usage of × format
- ??
- Instead of using 2x platinum it should be 2× platinum.
- Chart (2004–2005) --> Chart (2004–05)
- Done
- I think you can easily incorporate the single release date in the article, hence it would reduce another unnecessary section.
- Well, I think the section is worthwhile as it includes more than the single release dates and goes into detail about the singles, just like The Fame#Singles (aware this is WP:OTHERSTUFF, just noting it)
- Correct online sources and printed sources. Online sources like Slant magazine should not be italicized.
- Done
- Correct newspapers like guardian.co.uk to The Guardian.
