Album name

The album's name will be A LITTLE MORE PERSONAL (RAW) (official music site). an odd name 19:58, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merging from the single articles

To quote user:FuriousFreddy: if a song article is nothing but a recounting of how the song was made, and how well it did, without explaining that it was, in some way, important and influential to the music industry, there's really no reason for it. Just write good album articles, and selected articles on the important singles and album tracks, and let's keep the encyclopedia balanced. Encyclopedias aren't supposed to be "complete"; they are supposed to provide overviews and guide users to further information on a subject if they want to go beyond the standard level. Something like a Lindsay Lohan fan wiki would be a fine place to have an article on every Lohan song, but a general-purpose encyclopedia is not. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Pop music issues and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines/Songs. Why write dozens of short articles on singles, with no chances of actual expansion short of padding and marketing-report material (chart positions), when they can be combined into one album article? Extraordinary Machine 00:03, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

the song is a notable song by a notable artist and has charted in many charts, like kelly clarkson, mariah carey, britney spears so why dont you let the article be? if you do this to lindsay lohan then why not theirs?

I absolutely agree on that--hottie 13:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Lillygirl 07:06, 20 May 2006

Gold certification?

Can anyone supply a citation for this reference? The 500,000 sales figure itself is dubious (I can find no reputable source) and the RIAA website does not list any certification. Absent a trusted source, I intend to remove this reference per WP:CITE. Radio Kirk talk to me 04:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, found the source. On the other hand, there still is no reputable source for the assertion that "Fastlane" is the next single; it seems to have started at ContactMusic, which is often quite wrong. Radio Kirk talk to me 17:31, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide Sales

Does anyone know what this has sold worldwide... roughly?

WP:CRYSTAL

In "Lindsay Lohan chronology" in the infobox, the next (future) spot, the reference to an undetermined future release should be deleted. Ward3001 (talk) 16:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Information is needed in the article to support that the genre of the album is pop rock

Lead

...including at MTV's Total Request Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and the American Music Awards of 2005. → Change "American Music Awards of 2005" to "2005 American Music Awards" to make prose flow better

Background and recording

...for which he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohool.[4] → Fix spelling issue

Reception

"A Little More Personal (Raw)" debuted at number twenty on Billboard 200... → Add "the" between "on" and "Billboard"
...same position on Billboard Digital Albums, dropping the chart on the following.[13] → Add "week" at the end of the sentence to clarify prose
As of May 2008, the album has sold additional 305,000 copies in the United States, and failed to chart in other countries.[16] Add "an" between "sold" and "additional"; Add "has" between "and" and "failed"

Credits and personnel

References

References 1, 6, 19, 22 → "MTV" should not be italicized; "Viacom" should be the publisher

Publisher fixed. Although, the {{cite web}} template writes MTV instead of MTV; so i can't fix it.

Reference 3 → "IGN" should not be italicized

It's a {{cite web}} issue I can't fix, since IGN goes on "work", and the template italicizes work by default.

Reference 4 → Same as issue for Reference 1; Publisher should not be wiki-linked as it was already in an earlier source
- Done.
Reference 7 → "Jann Wenner" should be wiki-linked as it is publisher of Rolling Stone magazine

Done

Reference 20 → "About.com" should not be italicized
- Explained above.
Reference 21 → "iTunes Store" should not be italicized
- Explained above.
Reference 23 → Same issue as Reference 21; Both should not be wiki-linked as they were done so already in another reference
- dewiki-linked all. The other issue explained above.
Reference 25 → "Billboard" and "Prometheus Global Media" should not be wiki-linked
- Done.

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put the article on hold at this time. There are some minor prose issues, citation questions, and reference formatting issues that are keeping this article from reaching good article status. I will give you the general seven days to address these issues and/or discuss points which you believe may not concern the good article criteria. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Think i've fixed all and explained what i can't fix. Thanks for the review. —Hahc 21 01:59, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since all of the issues have been addressed, I feel confident passing this article. Keep up the good work! Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 06:22, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Total sales states May, 2013

but it isn't even May 2013--I assume it's a typo based on 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.127.1 (talk) 16:37, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The source states that the album has sold 305,000 copies (according to soundscan), not 2.5 million.173.59.15.69 (talk) 00:05, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
