I have read through the article and made some changes as I went [1]. You might want to check that I haven't introduced any inaccuracies. Have left some comments below. Feel free to question any of them. AIRcorn(talk)09:15, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Formed in 1986, the duo became an international act from the late 1980s, when they released their breakthrough album Look Sharp! while their third album Joyride became just as successful. This needs some work. It seems to saying that Joyride was successful in them becoming a worldwide act. Some re-wording could tidy it up.
According to Gessle, the group's first English-language release was in response to interest expressed by EMI's American label Capitol Records, in an attempt to reach into the lucrative American market Which was it? the expressed interest or a the lucrative market. If both it needs to be re-written slightly.
The story was covered by radio, newspapers and TV in the US and in Sweden, with Gessle recently telling this as the story which highlighted the beginning of their international success Overcite. Can you chose one or two reliable ones that support the sentence/
"Dressed for Success", featuring Fredriksson on lead with Gessle singing short parts for accentuating, was the second international single.Is for accentuating correct? Fredriksson on lead what? Vocals?
The resulting merger saw many personnel changes that resulted in a downturn in the publicity for Roxette. I think this is trying to say that the merger meant there was less publicity available for Roxette, but I am not sure. Might need some re-wording
However, the song was moved to the soundtrack to the film based on the Nintendo video game Super Mario Bros This doesn't make sense. Should "to the film" be "of the film"?
The band did re-write some of their lyrics but used the original lyrics after all during the concert. This has a citation needed tag that needs addressing.
The "Don't Bore Us - Get to the Chorus!" album was published in a special edition entitled: "Don't Bore Us - Get To The Chorus! [Roxette's European Promo Tour]", this album doesn't contain track-list of original edition, but appear only 4 audio tracks that correspond to Abbey Road versions, that are just acoustic versions recorded in live at Abbey Road Studios on November 15th, 1995, songs in this álbum are: 1. "The Look", 2. "Listen To Your Heart", 3. "You Don't Understand Me" and, "Help!" (The Beatles), this article is considered a rarity in the Roxette discography This needs some work
Gessle reunited with Gyllene Tider in 1996 for what turned out to be a successful reunion, before Roxette took instrumental masters of many of its ballads and recorded translated Spanish lyrics over them. What does this mean. The reunion was successful until Roxette got involved?
Some of the references don't link to the correct page (i.e. [2]) also there must be a better ref than [3] this for the Rockbjorns.
The Rockbjorn ref is best that is available. Aftonbladet founded and own the awards. There doesn't seem to be a separate awards website. Mattg82 (talk) 20:01, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It was his first Swedish-language solo album in 18 years and became very successful in his home country. This appears to be WP:Synth. Would be better to attribute or rationalise (i.e. reached number 1).
It is expected to comprise up to 130 concerts[104] and run until October 2012,[102] with the band performing to over 800,000 people in the 79 concerts held in 2011 alone Needs updating
They will undertake a full UK tour in 2012, with dates confirmed in Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham. On January 13, 2012, it was announced that two further concerts were planned for China, after the Chinese Ministry of Culture gave them permission to play More updating needed
Titles expected to be featured on Travelling include, "Me & You & Terry & Julie", "Lover, Lover, Lover", "Excuse Me, Sir, Do You Want Me To Check On Your Wife?", "Angel Passing", "Touched By The Hand Of God", "Turn Of The Tide", a track originally written and recorded during the Have A Nice Day sessions in 1998, a live performance of "Stars" recorded during a soundcheck in Dubai, a new version of "Perfect Excuse" from Gessle's 2008 solo album Party Crasher featuring Marie on vocals and two versions of a song titled "It's Possible", one being an electronic version, similar in style to "She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio)", while Gessle referred to the other as a 'summer style' version, similar in arrangement to the Gyllene Tider track "Hjärta utan hem", stating it has 'more like a sixties feel to it. We couldn't decide which version we prefer, so we actually took both. This sentence is a bit too long.
Ok I think I have fixed most of your points now. I just need to update the chart refs so they point to directly to Roxette's chart entries rather than a search page. Mattg82 (talk) 19:50, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to take a break for a while s will close this as a pass. The only concern unaddressed was that many of the chart links lead to a search engine instead of the actual page. While not ideal t is still not a major problem, and considering the rest of the article it still merits a pass. 23:10, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Done Is that better? Mattg82 (talk) 20:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
