This article reads like a jacket sleeve and if I didn't know better, I'd swear it was copyvio. Someone more familiar with the subject needs to rewrite the article with a neutral tone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JuJube (talk • contribs) 23:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
--Can you please give us some examples of where the article's tone is not neutral? Nowhere do the writers editorialize or give us their opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.142.232.104 (talk) 15:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article is just fine. Very accurate, even though it leaves out a lot of Juice Newton's hits and accomplishments. I find the article to be very informative and accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.142.232.104 (talk) 159.142.232.104 (UTC)
Someone claims the Quiet Lies album sold over 900,000 copies. There was no Soundscan before 1991 and no way to tally the sales of an album accurately. Perhaps the album just shipped 900,000 copies, which in no way means the album sold anywhere near that. For example, Mariah Carey's album Music Box sold 7 million copies, but was certified 10xPlatinum (Diamond) without actually reaching that number. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Puckeylut (talk • contribs) 15:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
There seems to be some disagreement over which of Newton's records were given gold and platinum awards. The only valid sources of information for which records achieved gold or platinum status in the US is the RIAA. They have a searchable database on their website www.riaa.com - but no other sources can be used as a valid claim (and that would include Juice Newton's own personal website, as it is not an impartial source and there is already some glaring inaccuracies on there).

Whoever keeps changing Juice's singles Gold certifications from 1 million to 500,000, please stop. In 1981 and 1982, when these singles were certified, the Gold award standard by the RIAA was 1 million singles sold. An act had to sell 2 million singles to go Platinum. In the early 1990s, as singles became less popular, RIAA lowered the standard to 500,000 for Gold certification and 1 million for Platinum certification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Windycityguy2 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be no evidence of that on the RIAA website, but if you can point to a valid and reliable source then it can be changed back. On a related note, the RIAA have never given "silver" awards for a quarter of a million albums so you need to stop putting that in the article. 79.69.88.239 (talk) 22:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The original "Gold Record" awards were presented to artists by their own record companies to publicize the achievement of 1,000,000 sales. The first of these was awarded by RCA to Glenn Miller in February 1942, celebrating 1,200,000 sales of "Chattanooga Choo Choo." Another example of a company award is the gold record awarded to Elvis Presley in 1956 for 1,000,000 sales of the single "Hound Dog". This has led to controversy over how to determine the placings for the biggest selling artists of all time, and claims that some gold albums should be disregarded or even retroactively withdrawn although they were legitimately awarded at the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Windycityguy2 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Given the unusual nickname ("Juice") of a person Christianed Judy (Judith?) Kay, it would seem significant to have some information about the origin of the nickname.
