Lead

• by American singer RuPaul → you should specify that he's a drag queen, as well here

• Added. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• written by Joe Carrano and RuPaul → state "written by Joe Carrano and RuPaul" here for alternation

• I do not see the difference that you are pointing out; could you please explain this to me? Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

@Aoba47: OMG, I meant "written by Joe Carrano and the singer", sorry ;)

• specifically "All Alone on Christmas" → specifically of "All Alone on Christmas"

• I do not believe that this is correct; "specifically" without the "of" is the appropriate construction in this context. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• negatively responded → other way round

• Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• of his VH1 talk show The RuPaul Show → when was this?

• Added year. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Infobox

• Only link "executive producer" once in the "Producer" row

• Removed. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Recording and release

• saying "You can hear us → saying, "You can hear us

• Done. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• a clear message; RuPaul explained: "Even the → a clear message, "Even

• Done. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• Rhino executive promoted → what does it mean to promote smth executive?

• An executive is a job title so it is referencing an executive from the record label and how he or she promoted something. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• was made available on on October 28, 1997 → we only need one "on"

• Done. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Composition

• "the fact that I'm doing it" → "the fact that [he is] doing it"

• Done. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• The final track is a remix of the "Celebrate" → "his" instead of "the"

• I do not believe that is correct. This is the final track of the album; if you put "his final track" that is implying that it is RuPaul's final song ever, which is obviously not true as he released albums/songs after that and is still releasing music. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• It peaked at number 31 on Billboard Dance Club Songs chart on October 11, 1997 and remained on the chart for a total of seven weeks.[13] → This isn't relevant in any sort of way here, so I would suggest removing it.

• If you clicked on the link, you would notice that Billboard attributes the song to this album. I would imagine that commercial performance of a song would be relevant to the album in which the song appears. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Reception

• Ken Veeder of The Advocate praised RuPual's → "RuPaul's" is written incorrectly

• Done. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• positivel responding → "positively" is written incorrectly

• Done. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• Melinda Newman referenced the album → Melinda Newman referenced the album to

• I use the construction "reference x as"; the construction "reference x to" would not be appropriate in this context. Aoba47 (talk) 17:24, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• "[m]akes me want to shove a candy cane in my eye" → "[m]akes [him] want to shove a candy cane in [her] eye"

• Done. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• Connect the third paragraph to the second one

• Not done as these two paragraphs are discussing two completely different ideas. The second paragraph is about negative reviews while the third is about a more joke review. Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

• Include the info about the commercial performance above in the "Charts" section

• Not done as I prefer to keep the commercial performance close to the Reception section, as done in Good Girl Gone Bad and 4 (Beyoncé album). Aoba47 (talk) 17:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
