Well, well, aren't you a lucky son of a gun? Long wait huh? — Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Haha yes it's been a while, thought about removing it for a while. Think I nominated it a bit hastily but a review would be helpful to develop the article and if it does not pass at this stage a renomination would be most likely. Thanks in advance, --FeuDeJoie (talk) 19:50, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Infobox

• 2008–2010 --> 2008–10 per MOS:DATERANGE
• If its in the soul genre, you don't need to include neo soul, as the main soul covers it.
• Add alternate text for the cover image per WP:ALT, to help in readers who are visually impaired.
• Since this is a concept album and is part of a series, a chronology is needed in this case, irrespective of the first release being an EP.

Lead

• My main concern is that the lead is not according to WP:LEAD, meaning that although it summarizes the article, it nevertheless writes a pretty small synopsis. Seeing the article body length, I would expect it to be at least three paras.
• released May 18, 2010, on Wondaland Arts --> released May 18, 2010, by Wondaland Arts
• You need to somehow introduce the fact that the album is a concept album and then say "It consists of the second and third parts to Monáe's Metropolis concept series".
• There is no mention of the release and promotion parts.
• number 17 --> number 17, non-breaking space is needed always between a numeral and an alphabet.
• Total sales of the album in US are courtesy Nielsen SoundScan, so you need to mention that.

Background

• The ArchAndroid is the follow-up to Janelle Monáe's debut EP Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase) (2007) --> The ArchAndroid is the follow-up to Janelle Monáe's debut EP, Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase) (2007), and....
• she was inspired by the quote --> to do what?
• discussed her incorporation of the android as a metaphor for a minority and the role of the story's protagonist in an interview for Blues & Soul, stating --> Grammatical error
• Monáe has said about the recording sessions --> Make it a new para
• the ArchAndroid I went through a very --> The ArchAndroid, I went through a very
• Why is the studio name in italics?
• link Turkey, Prague and Atlanta, not common place names

Music

• You are talking about the musical style and its content, so this section name can easily be named Composition
• all the things I love - scores for films like --> En-dash instead of a normal dash
• Monáe has stated that the album's lyrical themes and storyline were heavily influenced by Fritz Lang's Metropolis. --> needs source
• Can yuo avoid repetition of the phrase "The track" in this whole section?

Release

• In promotion of the album --> For promoting the album,
• link youtube
• Monae performed to her network debut --> I don't follow
• Again, continuous repetition of Monae
• sp mistake --> wwas
• In singles, when you say that a video was released, please be more explanatory, what did the video show, reception etc.

Reception

• The whole chart performance section doesnot flow well, and is a week-by-week analysis with no conjencture. Please rephrase the whole section.
• Credit the total US sales to Nielsen SoundScan.

Charts

• No need to mention Billboard with thje US R&B chart, and have it in its full-name, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Needs work. Seven days on hold. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 10:23, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

A little bit of work's been done, but not much. Should it be failed? Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:42, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Actually the nominator has informed me that he's taking an exam and will be back after a week to fully address the comments. Hence I'm waiting to see if he does that. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:52, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Looks fine by me. I'm happy to pass this as GA. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:23, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
