GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the lead, "The tour supported her first two studio albums, Madonna and Like a Virgin" ---> "The tour supported her first two studio albums, Madonna (1983) and Like a Virgin (1984)", so that it can provide context for the reader. In the Background section, this is me, but this sentence ---> "When Like a Virgin, the album became a success, Warner wanted to milk-in the success of the album by sending Madonna on a worldwide tour", reads odd. Do you mean something like this ---> "Following the success of the Like a Virgin album, the record label wanted to milk-in the success of the album by sending Madonna on a worldwide tour"?- Corrected. — Legolas (talk2me) 03:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Check.
- Corrected. — Legolas (talk2me) 03:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
In the Recordings section, I believe you don't need that quotation mark in front of Sylvia Chase. Same section, "The release debuted at 13 on Billboard's Top Home Video chart, on December 22, 1985 and reached..." ---> "The release debuted at 13 on Billboard's Top Home Video chart, on December 22, 1985, and reached...", commas after dates, if using MDY. In the Legacy section, a quotation mark is missing at the end of "fingerless gloves.[6]".- Oops. I swear, honest mistakes :) — Legolas (talk2me) 03:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know, happens to everyone. ;)
