  •   Done, changed
  • "legs of their" → "legs of the group's"
  •   Done, changed
  • "Upon release, the EP debuted at number nine in on" → "The EP debuted at number nine on" and this should be moved to being the last sentence of the second paragraph instead
  •  Not done, in context of the rest of the lead it doesn't make sense as the second and third paragraph flow together. I would normally agree otherwise.
  •   Done, changed
  •  Not done, no need to change this. Given that its a limited/special release and was region-linked its significant to include sales.

  •   Done, changed
  •   Done, changed
  • "several charts worldwide including" → "several charts worldwide, including"
  •   Done, changed
  • "number three in UK" → "number three in the UK." since the Hot 100 position is too low to be notable here
  •   Done, kept Billboard Hot 100 as they're US artists and fifteen is hardly "not notable".

  •   Done, changed
  • "was on the way called" → "was set to be released under the title of"
  •   Done, changed
  • "In comparison, the group's first album..." this sentence is not only incorrect because that article is from 2008, but it also off topic since there is no mention of Doll Domination in that article whatsoever
  • Not sure what you mean, this sentence is about the previous album, serving as a comparison between the sales of PCD versus Doll Domination.
  • I am aware it is used to compare the sales of the two albums, but this is trivial since the source about PCD not only offers no mention of the other album, but it is from a different period in time. --K. Peake 07:44, 5 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Legacy

edit
  • The info about "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" does not appear to be backed up at all
I followed the principles of WP:CITE, its a fact that "Jai Ho!" features Nicole Scherzinger. its in the single listings, the cover art etc. This doesn't need sourcing?

Personnel and credits

edit
  • Retitle to Credits and personnel
  •   Done
  • The imgs here are not needed, since it is not required for pics of so many musicians
  •  Not done, there's no set standard for what can and can't be done and its unusual for us to be able to have images for all of the personnel involved. I see no issue with this.
  • You should not have these tables; lay it out like most credits and personnel sections plus instead put (track...) for people's credits with the numbers in the brackets rather than separate tracks
