I'll review. -- Zanimum (talk) 14:18, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
No unresolved issues on the talk page, for starters. Promotion, Tour, Personnel, Charts and sales all ready. (References will be checked last, but the prose seems right.) I love that Colbie Caillat is credited with finger snapping. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:17, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
Background
- "A Swift Kick in the Pants" is gone, please point readers to the Wayback Machine cache: https://web.archive.org/web/20130729083341/http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/ci_9121730
- "not having kissed a male" does sorta sound like she's bisexual. That said, "a boy", like the source article uses, is age-specific. Not sure what to do.
"Writing development and lyrical content" is fine. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:42, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Lead
- In the lead, you cite Lipshutz for the 6.6 million figure. You cite the same source later for the 6.6 million figure. Do we need this reference in the lead?
- The 9 million copies worldwide stat isn't represented in the article itself.
Title, packaging and release is fine, albeit the quote is lengthy.
Reception
- "sixth by a female artist, along with"... don't you mean tied with?
- "(its highest worldwide)"... while it's a lesser market to achieve the honour in, these brackets somewhat trivialize the feat. Perhaps em dashes, or a brief second sentence?
Track listings, See also, External links both pass. -- Zanimum (talk) 12:43, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
Ack. I just looked at Checklinks. I'm forced to fail the article, there's just too many dead links... http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webchecklinks.py?page=Fearless_%28Taylor_Swift_album%29#view:0.1.1.1.1.1 It's very close to GA status, but these links are murder. -- Zanimum (talk) 17:11, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
