• Hi Philroc! I'd be happy to review this. I myself created List of songs recorded by Daft Punk and brought it to featured status, so I'm a bit of a Daft Punk fan you can say. I'll have my review done by tonight. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 00:09, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Lead and infobox

• Ref 1 isn't needed in the infobox
• Change the studio to Daft House, add a break, then put Paris, France in small font (See Homework and Discovery and you'll know what I mean
• I think mentioning the album's six-week creation would be appropriate.
• As opposed to "with this album," I would compare it to Homework and Discovery a little bit, kind of like how the Discovery lead compares it to Homework
• Second paragraph looks good

Background and structure

• Some sentences where quotation marks are inside punctuation while others are outside. Choose one or the other for consistency
• Not sure if the first sentence is appropriate to start a "background" section. Think it'd be better to start the third paragraph
• Was it recorded in two weeks or six weeks? I've read multiple sources that say six weeks, which is also consistent with the recording dates "September – November" in the infobox
• Add the year after Daft Punk's Electroma – (2006)
• Concert tours do not go in italics (Alive 2006/2007)

Release and promotion

• Ref 13 and 24 are the exact same.
• Again, un-italicize the Alive 2006/2007 tour
• Separate chart performances into their own 'commercial performance' section. Also add the other chart positions of the album, especially the number one Top Dance/Electronic chart
• I would add the info in the second paragraph to 'critical reception' after all the reviews; it basically discusses the response to reception before actual reception. (This whole section can be condensed to two paragraphs)
• Add AllMusic refs for the last sentence (for Musique Vol. 1 and Alive 2007)

Critical reception

• Again, some sentences have quotation marks inside punctuation while others are outside. Make sure it's consistent
• Add who won the Grammy award that year

Track listing

• Looks good

Personnel

• Make sure to cite the liner notes; section is currently unsourced
• Link the artists if they have pages. Can also link things such as drum machines, synthesizers, and vocoders.
• Make the items mentioned above plural, as I'm sure the duo used multiple instruments to record the album (unless the liner notes themselves state otherwise)

Remix album

• Add publish date to ref 40 (18 June 2014)
• Rest looks good

Charts

• This section should only be reserved for the actual chart listings. Moved the sales figures to 'release and promotion'.
• With the sales figures – "as of May 2013," seems kinda outdated. Think we could update these figures, especially since it's now February 2019?

Certifications

• Make sure refs have access dates

References

• See the toolbox. There are a ton of references that are green, blue, and there are currently three dead links. These all gotta be fixed.
• I would archive many of these refs, especially ones that are websites
• Change Pitchfork Media to Pitchfork (multiple refs)
• Ref 57 – why does it say "HUman after all"
• Make sure all refs have last name, first name; some have first last

Final comments

• Overall looks good. It definitely has potential to become a GA once these issues are resolved. I'm here to help as well, so don't be afraid to ask! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 01:25, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

• @BeatlesLedTV: Thanks for stepping in and reviewing this article so shortly after its nomination. I have managed to fix most of the issues you found; however, there don't seem to be any publicly-available sales figures for Human After All beyond 2013. (I encountered an edit conflict when saving, and I may have reverted other user's edits; I apologize and have attempted to remerge.) Philroc (c) 16:11, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

• Damn that's a shame. I think it's starting to look good to become a GA, just gonna give it a final read-through and make any small edits then I'll give it a pass! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 17:07, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

• Looks good. I will ✓ Pass this. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 17:13, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
