Starting review.... —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 07:08, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • There is a dead link and dab link correction. Please refer to the tool box on the right
 Done Link replaced with an archived page. JAEVI (talk) 07:39, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the lead, "However, it noted moderate commercial success with its sound aimed more at the underground rave scene audience" does not make sense. Try changing it to "However, it achieved moderate commercial success because its sound was aimed more at the underground rave scene audience"

How else should we refer to them? Only one of the two mentioned is a band, the other artist being Moby... DannyMusicEditor (talk) 13:40, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Done DannyMusicEditor (talk) 13:40, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Done JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same for other instances of using No.
 Done JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 5. How and why is it reliable? Big Ozine?
It is taken from an actual hard copy of the BigO magazine. The link is just a transcription. JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • After meeting with Rodney Bingenheimer at a birthday party --> mention who the person is, like "After meeting American DJ Rodney Bingenheimer at a birthday party.."
 Done JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • signed her to a development deal with his label Radioactive Records --> signed her for a development deal with his label Radioactive Records
 Done JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • He later spoke on her record deal: --> This quote really does not add anything
 Done JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lords was later featured on the 1992 song "Little Baby Nothing" by Manic Street Preachers --> how is this relevant
 Done JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the spring of 1994 --> Give exact month

  • Usage of Ref 5 and Ref 7 literotica? You really should read WP:RS
Again, it is just a transcription of an article published in the actual hard copy of the magazine. Not sure if I should remove the link and leave just the reference to the magazine. JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DannyMusicEditor please let me know if you can replace those sources with a better one, else I have to fail this. Also the reference formatting is not correct at all. There are many references which does not use en-dash, many of the online sources are italicized like AllMusic, Date formats are inconsistent using dmy as well as mdy formats, Daily MAil is unreliable from WP:BLP pov etc. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 10:38, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting of all references corrected. Daily Mail replaced with a reference to Lords' book Traci Lords: Underneath It All, where you can find a detailed description of making the record. JAEVI (talk) 12:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I still see incorrect formatting just browsing the initial first 5 references. I don't think you are grasping the concerns I have raised. Even ref #7, sourced to a gross porn website like literotica is being used. I strongly suggest you read WP:RS first. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 13:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't really sure with the literotica link. The interview there is taken from an actual magazine called Trigger. The literotica link is just a transcription, so I didn't know if I was to remove the link and leave just the magazine as a source. JAEVI (talk) 14:13, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You need to find the volume, issue, page and issn for the magazine. Else we cannot add it, —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 14:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So, I removed the literotica references completety and replaced them with the references to an interview from a magazine called Satellite Times of which I have an actual copy. She basically tells the same story behind her inspiration for the album's sound. I only replaced the quote with the one from Satellite Times. JAEVI (talk) 08:57, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You need to use {{cite journal}} and {{cite press release}} templates in the references. No bare coded referencing please. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 12:52, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Edited all references using templates. JAEVI (talk) 07:42, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
All concerns addressed hence passing the article. —Indian:BIO [ ChitChat ] 09:15, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
