I feel this article borders on personal opinion and commentary more so than being a factual piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.140.89.238 ( talk) 06:03, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
I believe that the opening of the article should be extended. Since it's release, there needs to be a broad sense of the album (i.e. production, critical reception, commercial response, singles, promotion, etc.). It's just too bare at this moment. So should we extend the opening article or not? 121.72.6.0 ( talk) 09:54, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
There is a sentence that says the single I Was Gonna Cancel charted at number five on Billboard. This is misleading as it is implies that it charted at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 which is commonly referenced as the single charts of Billboard. I Was Gonna Cancel charted at number five on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs not on the Billboard Hot 100. Specify please, it is misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazyazian ( talk • contribs) 05:41, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
The album was certified Platinum in Hungary, but I only found the picture... ( http://instagram.com/p/uV2_eoFeNk/) 88marcus ( talk) 23:36, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Shearonink ( talk) 04:12, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
In Shearonink's last example, I don't understand the construction "from Minogue's behalf": how can you take or drain anything from a behalf? I'm also troubled by using the quoted word "drain[ed]" (originally "drains") with "originality and innovation" when it's used in the actual review in conjunction with "personality and nuance", quite different characteristics. I don't see how the second sentence accurately reflects Zaleski's (not "Zalenski") review. All such review summaries ought to be checked against their sources given the issues with this one.
There are other issues with the Critical reception section. The starting sentence is a bit odd, even if it is cited: "On its release, Kiss Me Once received positive critical reviews." Yes, and it received somewhat negative ones, too. The Zaleski one, certainly, and a "C+" score on another is a mediocre grade. The tense varies a bit through the section; it's mostly past tense, but instead of "stated", "stating" is used, and so on. It should stay in the past tense.
In the earlier Furler example, from the Background and production section, I think "confirmed that Furler" would be preferable for "confirmed Furler". The first sentence of that paragraph also has a problem: On May 28, Minogue's 45th birthday, she announced the buzz single "Skirt" and was made available on Beatport on June 24.
is saying that Minogue was made available on Beatport, not the "Skirt" single.
Given the prose issues that have been noted above and others that I found while taking a quick look around, the article would profit from a general copyedit. There is significant work needed to elevate this to the "clear and concise" standard required for GAs. BlueMoonset ( talk) 19:11, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
On my most recent proofreading-readthrough I am finding some of the phrasing in this article to not be stated as cleanly as it could be.
I have realized that the writer had used a form of "Notes" basically to appear as a type of reference and to me this isn't quite correct. The three instances in the article are:
This gives the appearance of using Wikipedia content to reference other Wikipedia content and should probably be adjusted. Shearonink ( talk) 15:25, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
