Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    I made some copy-edits, but I feel taht the prose could be improved throughout. It is rather choppy with many repeated truns of phrase that could be improved. MoS compliant. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    A number of dead links which have been tagged. Ref #1 [1] is OK , but it is now 2009, could do with an update on this statistic; Ref #36 was dead but i find a replacementa t Billboard, w=howver this does not support all of the diffrenet statements referenced, due to Billboard restructuring their site; ref #45 I can't find a direct replacement for; ref #54 [2], The Brits have removed their archives, not at the Internet archive, either; ref #60 [3], I am sure you can find a better review that one on an online shopping site, not very RS;
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

OK, just a few references need fixing and the prose could do with a thorough brush up. On hold. Major contributors and projects will be informed. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:04, 17 August 2009 (UTC) OK, all looks fine now. Keep GA status. Thanks for your hard work. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To address the cumulative sales total: these number are hard to come by and often aren't updated for years. This is the best we've got for now. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:57, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
