    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:

    Changed URLs (so they need to be updated): Ref #22 http://www.jpopasia.com/news/ayumi-hamasaki-experiences-worst-album-sales-of-career-with-colours-release::16724.html should be updated to http://www.jpopasia.com/feed/15515/ayumi-hamasaki-experiences-worst-album-sales-of-career-with-colours-release/
    Ref #13 needs to be fixed - http://asiapacificarts.usc.edu/w_apa/showarticle.aspx?articleID=19131&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 should be updated to http://asiapacificarts.usc.edu/(X(1)A(iUSeVT-o0gEkAAAAYTUwOTkyODgtYmRiMS00MTliLWFhNzUtNDM2ODBkNDA0MzMyajGKzVGXlO9KRP2z3ox3fkgw7DM1))/w_apa/showarticle.aspx?articleID=19131&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

@Shearonink: All  Done. I took the liberty of helping the user since he seems to be MIA. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:02, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They might have been MIA but the nominator did edit WP on Feb 8th and also edited elsewhere on WP today, see here. Shearonink (talk) 02:27, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@MarioSoulTruthFan: Thanks. Honestly, since I hadn't heard back at all from the nominator after starting work on this Review back in January I was thinking of having to fail it within the next few days. If you're looking for something else to do, the referencing problems above (2B criteria) need to be corrected/adjusted.... Thanks again, Shearonink (talk) 18:31, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Shearonink: I missed that. Now it is concluded. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:51, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All fixed. Shearonink (talk) 02:55, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
