• Please fix these external links.
  • All links were corrected. prism △ 15:47, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Introduction

• Can you include the release year for Rated R by its mention in the first paragraph?
  • Added.
• Rihanna appeared at Barnes and Noble, not on it.
  • Oops! Fixed.

Background and concept

• You don't need the comma after "following" at the beginning of the second paragraph.
  • Removed comma.
• "One year lasting" could be rewritten as "year-long".
  • Fixed.
• "Rated R's promotional campaign's creative director" could be rewritten as the "creative director during the promotional campaign for Rated R".
  • Fixed.
• Instead of saying a "long period of time", is there a source you can find with exactly how long it took to photograph the book?
  • I tried but I couldn't find anything, sorry.
• Instead of saying "Nearing a second tentative release date for the book, which was September 2010", perhaps you can mention that the June release never happened and was rescheduled for October, and then you can get into what Rihanna said about it.
  • I think it's alright now.

Release and reception

• Is there any known reason why the name of the book was shortened? Even if there isn't you should still mention that it was shortened in the first paragraph.
  • Not exactly how you put it, but I did add a sentence explaining that it was also known as Rihanna: The Last Girl On Earth.
• Do we know which song from Rated R was on the CD?
  • I know it's a remix of "Photographs", though it isn't reported by any source.
• I don't think that saying "While most websites did not write a proper review of the book, most editors commented on the book positively" is necessary. I would just say that those that did review it spoke favorably of it.
  • I rephrased, though I'm not specifically saying "review" because no one actually reviewed it.
• Understandably, reviews of this book will be more difficult to find that her other projects. Is there any way that you can find maybe two more, just to round if off to five reviews and established a clearer critical opinion in general?
  • While I understand your stance here, I don't think it would be accurate to include fan blogs' reviews here. To be honest, I have only found one other review, which was from a fan blog... Can we let this be as it is?
    • Yes, I would prefer have a few less reviews as long as they are from reputable sources like you have already and not just fan sites for filler.
• How many copies has the book sold? Is that kind of information available to the public?
  • Unfortunately, one cannot know.

You have a strong showing for this article! After these few issues are addressed, I expect that I will be able to promote the article. WikiRedactor (talk) 16:09, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Could you please check everything I've done? Prism △ 16:58, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

All of the necessary changes have been made/addressed, and I'm happy to promote this article. Good work! WikiRedactor (talk) 17:40, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
