Reviewer: GamerPro64 (talk) 16:20, 27 April 2011 (UTC) Looking through the sources, I question the Nude as the News source since it isn't in the Reliable Album Sources page. I also think that Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet CD Album needs to be removed and have it be replaced by others.[reply]

I replaced the NudeastheNews ref. since it was a dead link, but the other reference you mentioned, from CD Universe, doesn't need to be removed. The information from that reference is published by Muze, a provider of media information about products such as CDs. Dan56 (talk) 20:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll get back to that link later. There should be a table for the certifications the album got. Something like in Weezer. GamerPro64 (talk) 15:33, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If this album only received one certification, the RIAA platinum one, then a table really isn't warranted (WP:Albums/Article body). Dan56 (talk) 20:25, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Never noticed that. Now, I would like to get a second opinion on if CD Universe is a reliable source if that's alright. GamerPro64 (talk) 20:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but it's really Muze that is the source (shown at bottom of the page in copyright). CD Universe is just one of the several retail sites that uses their information; J&R, Best Buy, Buy.com, to name a few. Dan56 (talk) 20:41, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CD Universe and other retailers are fine to use to source release info, but not reviews. Reviews should almost only be sourced by the publication itself. Adabow (talk · contribs) 03:39, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through the article once again, it looks ready to be passed. Cheers! GamerPro64 20:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding your post here, what's the problem with them? They's been acceptable for several other GA/FA-articles: Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Californication (album), Kid A, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Illmatic, God's Son, Surfer Rosa, Led Zeppelin II, Anodyne (album), Reasonable Doubt. ....

The two links I showed you are like CD Universe and besides, the articles you gave as examples became GA/FA in 2007-08. They may not be up to date to today's standards. GamerPro64 17:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
CD Universe seems fine to use, except for reviews as the 2nd opinion says. But how is Acclaimed Music not up to the standards, exactly? Dan56 (talk) 18:04, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The links I gave you aren't the real citations. They are just a mish-mash of accolades from different magazines or websites, just like CD Universe was to reviews. GamerPro64 18:09, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not really a mish-mash; the accolades compiled are all related to the album. I replaced the direct references to a publication/accolade, but there are two citations using AcclaimedMusic that support a general statement and not a specific accolade, such as "has been named one of the best songs of all time by numerous publications.[1][49]". Is that all right? Dan56 (talk) 19:29, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess. GamerPro64 19:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
