Infobox and lead

edit
  • Source for recording ending in 2018? — A couple of sources within the album point to the album finishing recording in 2017, so I've changed it so. I'm unable to find anything proving 2018 was the end date.  Y
  • Sure there isn't an exec producer? — Added Diplo as the executive producer, clarified and referenced it into the main body.  Y
  • "Steinway; it was released" → "Steinway. It was released" —  Y
  • "The record incorporates" → "Nova incorporates" at the start of a new para too —  Y
  • WikiLink hip-hop to Hip hop music Y
  • WikiLink R&B to Contemporary R&B Y
  • "Steinway themed Nova" → "Steinway themed the album" —  Y
  • "and named the album" → "and named it" —  Y
  • "Four singles were released with the album" → "Four singles were released in promotion" and keep as part of previous para —  Y
  • "The album was released as part of a self-titled tour;" → "A tour ran in November 2018 for Nova." start third para here —  Y
  • "it attracted generally mixed-to-positive reviews" → "Upon release, the album received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics" and try and add what was praised/commented on at the end of the sentence? — Added a short bit about it being it being more mainstream compared to RL Grimes previous album, taken from the critial reception bit.  Y
  • "and peaked at number one" → "It peaked at number one" —  Y
  • "Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums with 6,000 equivalent album unit sales." → "US Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums, with first-week sales of 6,000 units, while reaching number 50 on the Australian Albums chart." as the latter chart is just as notable —  Y

  • "on digital download stores" none of the refs cited say anything about download, just streaming? Maybe try citing the ref used in the release history section as one of the multiple refs because that mentions digital and the ones here mention the labels? — Done, also added the streaming bit. Y

  • "to provide vocals for the song." → "to provide vocals for the track." since you are using the term "songs" often so write the track, not the song —  Y

Commercial performance

edit

Track listing

edit
  • Good

Personnel

edit
  • Good

Charts

edit
  • Since single positions are already sourced in the article, they don't need a table. Remove that and the col, just keep the weekly charts but don't have it as a subsection just the entire charts section. —  Y

Release history

edit
  • Center ref — Not sure how to do this with a consistent method, so I just centred the entire thing with HELP:TABLECENTER
  • See Jesus Is King for how to center ref —  Y

References

edit
  • All cited websites should be WikiLinked on the first mention and not others, including publishers, magazine, etc. —  Y
  • Cite Triple J as a publisher —  Y
  • Cited Run The Trap as a publisher —  Y
  • "EDM.com - The Latest Electronic Dance Music News" → "EDM.com" for consistency —  Y
  • Cite MTV News as a publisher —  Y
  • Cite Metacritic as a publisher —  Y
  • Sources 52, 53, 54 and 55 don't need to be cited as separate refs as they can be used from the chart table using refname="australia" for example and then citing that name in the commercial section — I tried to do this, though it didn't really work because of the formatting used by the chart sites. So instead, I moved the commercial references into the charts.  Y
  • Cite Tidal as a publisher —  Y
  • Cite iTunes Store as a publisher —  Y

Overall

edit
  • Copyvio shows four of the refs with likely violation; that's gotta be fixed. — All four cite the same quote fom RL Grime, the one about an ever-expanding nova. I've replaced the article's quote with something a little different that isn't a quote.  Y
  • Try and include a relevant pic somewhere in the article?— Done, might need some resizing and maybe some replacing, but they should be fine.  Y
  • Good work but needs improving;   On hold for now! --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:08, 27 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
    Made a few minor tweaks myself after your hard work,  Pass! --Kyle Peake (talk) 19:27, 28 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
