Non-free content edit

Hi- I have added {{non-free}} to the article because of the high quality files- the album cover need not be more than 300 by 300, while the song samples should not be higher than 64kbps (see Wikipedia:Music samples#Guidelines). These are things which would really need to be fixed before it was ready for GA status. Please feel free to remove the notice once the issue has been dealt with, and please contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. J Milburn (talk) 22:54, 1 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

The article... edit

Max has done a great job on the article but to me it kind of reads like a press release (I'm really sorry Max!) and there are lots of NPOV issues ("The most refreshing among the new cuts...", "an optimistic pop splash that at last gave Dion the chance to shine on an uptempo song", "Dion's success was so widespread that.." etc.). A copy-edit would benefit the article in my opinion. Ryoga Godai (talk) 07:18, 16 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    "she's" - write it out
    "In that time, she's released seven English-language albums, from 1990's Unison to All the Way... A Decade of Song, and a six newly recorded French albums, and she's picked up many various awards, including five Grammys.[1][2]" - Remove "a" between "and" and "six"; suggest "picking up numerous awards, including..."
    "vs. " - write it out
    "Dion's art" - odd and rather poetic
    "Vito Luprano, co-executive producer added" - "co-executive producer Vito Luprano"
    "(ten in Japan) " - confusing. Do you mean the Japan version?
    "hottest youth acts.[3]" - reword this please...
    " tour de force" - POV?
    " It is notable for including" - It includes...
    " that's" - write it out
    "affirms Dion's ability to lay low and still scintillate" - POV, especially the last part.
    "roof-raising, fan-stoking" - overdramatising
    " beyond-the-pale " - leaning towards POV
    to up the tempo is colloquial
    "irresistible " - again, POV
    "Replete with a festive mandolin and a midtempo beat to bring new heights to her as-ever splendid vocal," - replete with is non-encyclopedic, and "as-ever" claim is a commentary
    "destined to enrapture" - "enrupture" is not plain English
    "reperesents" - typo
    ""That's the Way It Is" is one of the..." It should be "'That's the Way it is' is more..."
    "about as fine a fit " - ?
    And so on... either reword or if the reviewer said that, put the content in quotation marks. Also you did not include the two-star review by Rolling Stone
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    Use English Google sites, and the Billboard review ref is not visible to me.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. 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):  
  7. Overall: The POV language is problematic.
    Pass/Fail:  

Thanks for the review. I have fixed all I could.

1. As you have noticed the main problerm was the POV language in the Critical reception section. That's because it includes many quotes. I have put the content in quotation marks.

2. I have removed the Rolling Stone review. It was added by Angeldeb82 on July 2, 2012. The link does not say anything about the review so I have no idea what the Rolling Stone said about it or how many stars it gave to the album.

3. I'm from Poland. My Google domain is google.pl. I have tried everything to use google.com but it redirects automatically everything to google.pl. That's why the links to Billboard (Google books) contain polish domain. What happens when you click on these links? They direct to the Billboard magazines - each magazine is available online to read.

I hope you can review the article again and help me make it better :)

Thanks for cleaning up the POVy phrases and words. I accept the Polish Gbooks sources in good faith, but it may be still confusing as it contains Polish language and it does not redirect to the country where the computer is registered from. There are a few words which are leaning towards bias in the "Content" section, eg "delicate", but they are not such a problem as the previous ones. Good work overall!--GoPTCN 19:40, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks!! :) I have removed "delicate" :) Max24 (talk) 21:50, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sales in France edit

Per WP:charts we can use Infodisc. And the chartmasters.org shows the differance of just 600 copies. That's why Infodisc stays in this case. And by the way, it is a "Good article" created by me, and the source was approved. No need to change it now. -- Max24 (talk) 16:12, 12 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

So we're good here 145.226.158.81? -- Max24 (talk) 02:46, 13 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
Infodisc is not a good reference. But for 600 copies, if it makes you happy... 145.226.158.84 (talk) 07:06, 13 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Brazilian track listing edit

Hi, everyone; according to Discogs, the track listing of the Brazilian edition of this album is completely different from the one listed on here. According to Discogs, the only difference between the Brazilian track listing and the track listing of the rest of Latin America is that "All by Myself" is in English, not Spanish. I just wanted to bring this up because it seems strange that the track listing on this article is not the same as the one listed on Discogs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellowfrog81 (talkcontribs) 19:08, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
