• B-sides – link?

• Added

• link (and/or explain) "box set"?

• Explaining something like that would be very inappropriate for an article like this. A link is fine. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 18:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

• Ten years later, Warner Music Group announced on 29 September 2021 that Toy would get an official release as part of the box set – maybe worth noting in the lead that this is not identical to the album that was originally planned, as it misses at least two tracks?

• I see what you're getting at but I feel that would be OR because something like this isn't stated in prose. Also the two "missing" tracks are on Toy:Box disc two so they aren't really "missing".

• Sure, understood. The missing tracks I was referring to are "Afraid" and "Uncle Floyd", they do not seem to be on disc two either. I believe this is because they already appeared on Bowies subsequent studio album. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

• The following is the track listing of the version of the album leaked in 2011, which is different from the officially released version – Are these the tracks that have been scheduled for original release in 2001? Is there anything known about set of tracks, and their order, planned for that release that did not happen?

• Nope and nope, the bios don't have that info

• Nicholas Pegg is linked twice.

• Fixed

• The "Chart performance for Toy" – are these weekly charts, year-end charts, or something else?

• Weeklies. It only charted when it was issued separately so they can't be year-end if it came out earlier this month. I find it superfluous to add "weekly" if it's the only option for the time being – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 18:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

• Its your call. But if you think that there could be more ignorant readers like me that lack any knowledge on charts, then including the word "weekly" here might be worth a consideration to increase accessibility. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

• It is the most recent Bowie album, is it?

• What do you mean/are getting at here? – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 18:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

• I was simply wondering if its worth putting a "it was Bowie's final album release". I can see, however, that this might be misleading, so it is probably not a good idea. I still wanted to leave this suggestion here, though. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

• That's everything I was able to nitpick, very solid work overall. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 16:46, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

• Jens Lallensack Queries above. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 18:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

• zmbro – see my replies above; nothing that would stand in the way for GA. I am therefore promoting now, congrats. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
