Resolved comments from Truco
Lead
  • It failed to chart on the UK Singles Chart and in Europe, and she left the record company before an album was released. -- (1)I don't know but the repetitive "and"s disturb me, how about using a semi colon instead? (2)What European chart?
  • done
  • Later that year Jamelia released "I Do" with Parlophone, which was followed up in 2000 with "Money", her first top five single, and her debut album Drama. -- (1)Comma after year (2)Its unclear whether her first top five single refers to "Money" or is an individual statement. If its part of "Money" it would be best to have it in parenthesis.
  • done
  • Jamelia's second album, Thank You, released in 2003, is her most successful to date, charting at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart, as well as charting in Australia, New Zealand and Europe. -- Is it possible to give a note that states those other countries charts rank albums as well
  • done, with a slight recast of sentence
  • Thank You was subsequently re-released with two new songs, "See It in a Boy's Eyes" and "DJ". -- the comma after songs should be a colon
  • done
  • In 2004 Jamelia performed "Universal Prayer" with Tiziano Ferro for release on his album, 111 Centoundici. -- (1)Comma after 2004 (2)No need for the comma before the album name
  • done
  • It featured on the soundtrack album to the feature film The Edge of Reason, and was released as a double A-side with "DJ". -- (1)+was before featured (2)Replaced featured with included to avoid repetitive use of that word (feature film)
  • Good idea; done
  • At the end of 2004, Jamelia recorded an updated version of the charity record, "Do They Know It's Christmas?", as a part of Band Aid 20. -- In this context there is no need for the commas before/after the name of the record
  • done
  • It became the Christmas Number One. -- Instead of a new sentence, why not connect this with the previous sentence with a semi colon?
  • Sure, done
Music videos
  • Why not link all the directors? Since you have some that are red links and others that just aren't linked.
  • done
References
  • The redlinked publishers are notable enough for Wikipedia articles. They are notable music video directors/photographers/cinematographers, or music video production companies who have a number of notable directors under their employ. In time I'm sure they'll get created; I don't see the point in removing them to add them in later. WP:REDLINKS are OK.
Thanks for reviewing. I've addressed everything, except for your last concern, where I explained why not. Regards, Matthewedwards :  Chat  19:32, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For the last point, I meant that there are publishers (which don't have articles, yet they aren't linked), while others (that don't have articles, yet are linked): there is an inconsistency. I never stated that redlinks are not okay, I know they are.Truco 20:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That can't be fixed?--Truco 02:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • "song featuring a rap"-->song that features a rap
  • "It was also the twenty-sixth best selling single of 2003."-->It was the 26th best-selling single of 2003.
  • "around the world"-->worldwide
  • "It also appears"-->The song also appears
  • "Jamelia's third, and most recent album" No comma
  • "Despite being labelled a "one-hit wonder" by members of the music industry,[6] seven of Jamelia's singles have charted inside the top 10" Sounds as if the singles were labelled "one-hit wonder[s]". Dabomb87 (talk) 16:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "climbing" spelt wrong in lead
  • Done
  • "The song also appears Unity" - missing word
  • Done
  • "It is included on the soundtrack album to the feature film The Edge of Reason" => "it was...."?
  • Not done using past tense would imply that it no longer features on the soundtrack, but it still does.
  • "Jamelia's third and most recent album, Walk with Me was released" - missing comma after album title
  • Done
  • "As a collaboration" - maybe change to "In collaboration" or "Collaborations", currently the subheadings "As a solo artist"/"As a collaboration" kinda convey the bizarre sense that she was a collaboration on the tracks in question, if that makes any sense
  • Done
  • "(as Band Aid 20)" => "(as part of Band Aid 20)"
  • Done
  • Book references don't cite page numbers
  • Not done unfortunately. I don't have the books to find out what page number she is listed on. There is someone on Wiki who does, but I can't remember who. {{cite book}} says only the Title is the required field; I've given more information than that, with editors, publication date, edition, and ISBN, so it's not as if it's poorly referenced or unreferenced.

Looks good other than the above -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. Sorry I'm late -- I hadn't noticed them until now. Matthewedwards :  Chat  18:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support - all seems OK now. I didn't realise that book citations didn't require the page number. If it's of any use, in the 2005 edition of the Guinness book, she's on page 256 -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
