   Pass or Fail:

• The infobox has recording details, yet these are long-winded and somewhat confusing. Please rewrite these clearly and concisely.
  • I've changed the recording dates to the style that's in Achtung Baby, an FA.  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 11:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Do not mention the B-sides of the singles in the infobox
    • Removed  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 11:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
• I have made some minor copy-editing changes in the 'Background' and 'Recording' sections to help the flow of prose
• 'Release' section: there is a lot of missing information here, such as record label, release dates and formats.
  • Added record label and release date. Isn't it obvious that it was an LP?  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 11:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
    • Mention it anyway, as cassette tapes came out around then Adabow(complain) 21:23, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
  • "Tupelo Honey reached number 27 on the Billboard charts", do you specifically mean the Billboard 200?
    • Changed  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 11:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
• First paragraph of 'Aftermath' section seems a bit PoV, and may need rewording, using quotations, or additional references. Also second sentence should be reworded so that it doesn't start with 'but'.
  • Agadant will have to look at that - I don't own the Hage book.  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 11:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
    • Agadant seems not to be editing at the moment, so I've hiden the paragraph from view, so it can be fixed at a later date - I'll leave a message on Agadant's talk page.  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 14:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
• I have replaced the level three headers in the 'Track listing' section with bold lines
• 'Personnel' section needs a source
  • Added source for "Production". The musicians are referencd in the "Recording section".  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 11:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
• In the 'Charts' section there are not several charts, so reorganise this information as prose, rather than tables.
  • See The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, an FA, which uses the same format.  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words)
  • ""(Straight to Your Heart) Like a Cannonball" was the third single from the album and only reached number 119 on the American charts." Again, specify which chart
    • This would be the Billboard Hot 100, but this makes no sense as it charted at #119, which is more than 100, so I'm not sure about this.  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 11:13, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
      • I thought it might be the Top Heatseekers chart, but that was only introduced in 1993 (apparently) Adabow(complain) 21:23, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
        • I reworded it so it says it charted outside the Hot 100 at number 119, which makes more sense.  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 14:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

There are some minor issues that need to be addressed. I will out the review on hold, and allow seven days for relevant changes to be made. Good luck improving the article! Adabow(complain) 10:12, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I guess everything is satisfied now - just make sure that the now-hidden paragraph is followed up on. Adabow(complain) 06:57, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I've restated it using a direct quotation. Agadant (talk) 14:30, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
