References

• It seems confusing to me that some of the book sources are not cited as sources while many are; can you explain this?

I moved all the book/magazine sources to the "Sources" section. The remaining footnotes are websites and media notes only. Damian Vo (talk) 14:19, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

• Copyvio score looks good at 24.8%

Footnotes

• Make sure all of these are archived by using the tool

Some of the footnotes in the "Weekly charts" section are template-based, so they might have a different format than the others. I archived them all just in case. Damian Vo (talk) 14:19, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold and good luck, as you have promoted other articles of Minogue's to GA before! --K. Peake 13:56, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

I'll try my best. Thanks for taking the time to review. Damian Vo (talk) 04:01, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

@Damian Vo: Congratulations on this quick response, though one query I have is about the PWL acronym; it reads confusingly since the label is identified as Pete Waterman Entertainment, shouldn't it be referred to as Pete Waterman Limited since that was the label's name at the time? --K. Peake 16:51, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

I already changed them to Pete Waterman Limited based on your suggestion :D Damian Vo (talk) 07:28, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Damian Vo ✓ Pass now, good job on the quick response and sorry about the brief confusion mention above! --K. Peake 08:27, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

It's alright. Thank you for your thorough commentary <3 Damian Vo (talk) 09:22, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
