Infobox

• No issues

Lead

• Amnesiac is the fifth studio album by English rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich and released in June 2001 on Parlophone. → Opening sentence should only include information about what studio album number it is and who it is for ("Amnesiac is the fifth studio album by English rock band Radiohead.")
• Amnesiac debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart and #2 on the US Billboard 200. → Change "#1" and #2" to "number one" and "number two"
• ...and released in June 2001 on Parlophone. → Write full release date, and change "Parlophone" to "Parlophone Records"
• In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked the album #320 in their updated version of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. → Change "#320" to "number 320"
• Expand this lead section to include things like international chart information, critical reception, reissue, etc.

Recording and relation to Kid A

• Change section name to "Background and recording"

Music and lyrics

• An extended version of the track was released as a B-side for the "Knives Out" single. → Verifiable?

Art and packaging

• No issues

Reception

"...many considered it inferior to its sister album Kid A." Source? (I ask because I considered it then, and still do, as superior. Perhaps I am in the minority, but I have zero stats to back up either assertion and therefore believe the author to be imparting opinion in place of what should be only fact.)71.202.118.211 (talk)

References

• OVERALL MESSAGE WITH THIS SECTION: Proofread these references to fix the mistakes; I listed issues I could find with the first sixteen as a guide.
• Reference 1 → Include publisher of Chicago Tribune
• Reference 3 → Include record label
• Reference 4 → "Rolling Stone magazine" should just be "Rolling Stone"; Publisher of magazine is needed
• Reference 6 → Include "Viacom" as publisher
• Reference 7 → Include "Bauer Media Group" as publisher
• Reference 8 → Publisher needed
• References 10, 16 → Follow archive format for references
• References 12, 14 → Follow reference formatting for written publications

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put it on hold at this time. There are a few prose and citation issues, but the biggest issue is the reference formatting. I will give you the general seven days to fix these mistakes and/or address ones you believe do not concern good article status. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will be more than happy to help. Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 17:56, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Since all of the issues have not been addressed and it has been more than the seven days granted to fix the mistakes, I am forced to fail the article at this time. Once these issues are addressed, however, you are more than welcome to nominate the article again. Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 23:05, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
