Comments from ChrisTheDude edit

*"In 2001, 27 album" => 27 albums
  • "5,5 million" - American English doesn't use a comma for a decimal point
  • "4,2 million copies" - same again
  • "selling more than 1,8 million" - and again ;-)
  • "more than a million units first week[a][3], " => "more than a million units in the first week,[a][3]" (note ref after punctuation, not before)
  • "In it's third week" => "In its third week"
  • "Ja Rule's achieved" - "Ja Rule achieved"
  • "his second and since then last chart topping album" => "his second and most recent chart-topping album"
  • "selling about 3,5 million" - there's that pesky comma again ;-)
  • more later, got to go now........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:56, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two of the photo captions have a comma for a decimal point
  • No need to say "(pictured in 2001)" in the Staind photo caption - noting the year is only necessary if the picture was taken many years before or after the year in question and therefore the subjects don't look like what they did in the year in question
  • Beatles photo caption should not have a comma after the brackets
  • "tenth album to sell more than a million units first week" => "tenth album to sell more than a million units in its first week"
  • "with the The Blueprint" - double "the"
  • "topped it for two consecutive weeks" - "topped the chart for two consecutive weeks"
  • "Weathered by American rock band Creed." - band name should not be in italics
  • "The album peaked at number-one for four consecutive weeks" - no need for hyphen in "number one"
  • "The album released in November, was the eighth best-selling record of the year, selling about 3.5 million copies and has been certified 6-times platinum by the RIAA." => "The album, released in November, was the eighth best-selling record of the year, selling about 3.5 million copies, and has been certified 6-times platinum by the RIAA."
  • "Unusually, the years best-selling record Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park was" => "Unusually, the year's best-selling record, Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park, was"
  • "Now 6" is actually called "Now That's What I Call Music! 6" and should be shown as such. Same for volume 7.
  • Could make the table sortable......

@ChrisTheDude: I hope I didn't miss anything like I always do :) .—Lirim

Support from Aoba47 edit

*I have a question about the phrase “most-successful” as I have personally never seen the phrase “most successful” represented with a hyphen before.
  • For this part (Staind's third studio album Break the Cycle topped the charts for three consecutive weeks), you include a descriptive phrase for the album, but this is not done for any of the other albums in the lead. It is a rather nitpicky comment admittedly, but it is a matter of consistency.
  • It might be notable to add to the lead that the Aaliyah album went to number one after the singer’s death the previous month.

These are the only points that I could find, and once they are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 02:14, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: I hope your concerns have been adressed.--Lirim
  • Thank you. I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 23:05, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from Giants2008 edit

  • Comment – The only thing I see that's worth noting is in the first section heading. The second word of "Issue Date" probably shouldn't be capitalized since it's not a proper noun. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:12, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Giants2008: Done, thank you.--Lirim | Talk 02:25, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Cartoon network freak edit

Resolved comments from Cartoon network freak (talk)
*published in Billboard → published in the Billboard
  • by English rock band The Beatles → by English rock band the Beatles (I don't know which policy this is exactly, but there is one on Wikipedia that says we should do this)
  • who reached the top → which reached the top (we're not talking about an album)
  • and continued the run → and continued its run (to be more concise)
  • 620,000 more than The Beatles → as above
  • The "a" note is unnecessary and can be written out: "album to sell more than a million units in its first week since..."
  • Aaliyah's self-titled studio album reached the top for one week in September → it reads as if her album died, so rewrite to: "Aaliyah's reached the top for one week in September with her self-titled studio album"
  • "self-titled" should be "eponymous"
  • sold about 173,000 copies; the lowest for any → we need a normal comma, not a semicolon
  • Ja Rule achieved his second → Ja Rule eventually achieved his second (to have more flow)
  • album with Pain Is Love.[b] It dethroned Jay-Z in mid-October and topped → album with Pain Is Love,[b] dethroning Jay-Z in mid-October and topping (again, for better flow)
  • The album peaked at number one → Say "It" to avoid repeating "The album"
  • copies, and has been certified 6-times platinum by the RIAA → copies; it was certified 6-times platinum by the RIAA
  • Comma after "Linkin Park"
  • The Beatles' 1 was crowned the most successful album of the year → ...instead
  • also correct the Beatles issue in the image's description
  • the picture with Shaggy: "within 2001" → "in 2001"
  • Instead of "Chart history", I would name this section "Number-ones" to also comply with the article's title
  • Indicates best performing album of 2001 → Indicates the best-performing album of 2001
  • Artists should always be sorted by last name; see List of certified albums in Romania as an example
  • The "Sales" column should be centered
  • References(s) → Reference(s)
  • The "Issue date" parametre also does not sort correctly; see List of Airplay 100 number ones of the 2010s as an example

Source review passed, promoting. --PresN 21:16, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
