I have no problem with almost all of these. Does the fifth one have too much "experience"? Oh, by the way, I've jumped in on this GAR as CaliforniaDreamsFan appears busy. I'd defer to her preferences if any of these changes are contentious.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:33, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I believe "flip-side" refers to the other side of a cassette tape. For some cassingles the flip-side was blank, for others it had the same tracks as the front/first side (as appears to be the case here). I just got rid of "flip-"; this seems to work unless CDF objects.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I now see this section includes several word repetitions and stuff like that, and I'd prefer editing it myself before passing as it's uncomfortable to list like 20 issues here.

Done the first 3. You're welcome to do those repetitions.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:45, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Music video[edit]

You repeat "music video" two times consecutively

I've done some of these; your welcome to do more.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:46, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion[edit]

All is good besides some word repetitions with "performed, performed...", "Minogue, Minogue..." and "It, it..."
There are still minor issues on wording with this section, but it's so minimal that I'm going to fix that by myself before passing.

Go for it.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:47, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
