Where is it

This article really dont have any source. So short attempt.

Where's the charts? Did it make to charts? BritandBeyonce 12:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page needs a description and photo of each video

This article is a stub, so therefore it needs a description and a photo for each video. I'm still learning how to put up photos and how to make articles, so if somebody could beat me to it, that'd be great! Stopitplease92 00:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took care of it. now it looks way better and it's educational! Ratizi1 21:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I just added more info to Get Me Bodied, Beautiful Liar,and Upgrade U (from their main pages). They all need summaries too. I'm going to work on those next. Stopitplease92 19:50, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine but don't use the exact same wording. at least make it interesting and original. Ratizi1 19:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Singles Chronology

i dont know why but while ive been on vacation the order of all of beyonces singles have been rearranged. ive fixed it according to all the actual release dates. 71.42.177.194 20:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not an exclusive anymore

ok, i found this at brandsmart with a different info sticker. it has all the same videos, except for 'still in love'. added is a feature called 'ultimate performer' and a beyonce poster. Stopitplease92 16:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page move

This page was moved from B’Day Anthology Video Album to B'Day Anthology Video Album because apostrophes are given as a typewriter apostrophes ( ' ) rather than a typographic apostrophes ( ’ ) in Wikipedia articles and page names (compare D'Artagnan, D'Hondt method and Tess of the d'Urbervilles). --Bwiki 11:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 20:40, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

exlusively -> typo
exlusively at -> through
Knowles shot nine videos for the album, with four other videos having already been filmed. -> a bit repetitive
has been awarded -> its not really an award, its a certification of authenticity for said amount of shipments
denoting?
Outside of North America, -> seems a bit biased and too focused on the US, perhaps "internationally"

That gives the impression that it was worldwide ie everywhere including North America Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the album featured as a bonus disc

Half-thought? :P Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, maybe "the album was featured as a bonus disc" :P--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 00:02, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The "Still in Love (Kissing You)" video featured a cover of a song by Des'ree and, due to a lawsuit, only initial pressings of the album contain its video. -> a bit lost here

Background

Knowles said that she filmed B'Day Anthology Video Album -> she didn't film it, she compiled it. They were already filmed for other purposes

Only four videos were already filmed, the other nine were filmed especially for the album

do not have to log on to YouTube to watch her music videos, but instead can play them via DVD -> would not. Also, could be worded better
This section could benefit from a basic c/e. The sentencing is a bit choppy
According to Vibe, the shooting of the thirteen videos included on the album means that Knowles holds the record of the most music videos released in a twelve-month period. -> bad sentence

Release

Released, released. -> try to avoid repetitive wording in the same sentence
Again
The video album featured as the second disc on international copies of B'Day Deluxe Edition albeit without the behind-the-scenes,[9] while Irremplazable was the bonus disc in the United States. -> multiple issues. Aside from the poor wording, this is the first time I have read here about Irremplazable. It needs some form of introduction
Prior to its release, copies of the videos were ripped from an advance album and leaked onto the internet in MP4 form.[11] promoted the album by appearing on television shows -> fix
Any sources for the appearances?

At the end of the sentence

marking shipments of two million copies. -> Ummmm, don't you mean 200,000

Oops, I thought that figure was surprisingly high. Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marking doesn't really fit here

Lawsuit

Main article: Kissing You (Des'ree song)#Lawsuit -> fix

What's wrong with it? Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Usually we don't have it like that. If I link the MC version of "I'll Be There", I won't have it come up with the asterisk.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 00:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

a video for the song to include on -> the tense is weird.

Misc

Any positions for a video chart in the US?

No, I could only find three relevant Billboard issues on Google Books, but I'll ask Legolas to do a search. Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
