I've listed this article for peer review because…
I want to become a FAC article but I'm stuck. I do not know what to add or change. Please look at the article and tell me what you think should be added onto it. Thanks, (Moon) and (Sunrise) 17:26, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Finetooth comments: This reads well and seems comprehensive. The early biographical details seem thin, but if no more material is available, what you have may be fine. This is a nice job overall. I have a few comments or questions.
- The lead photo is good, and the license looks fine to me. If you can add at least one more image, that would be good too.
- I'll look for some.
- The last paragraph of the lead is a one-sentence orphan, and it's vague. It also doesn't seem important enough to put in the lead. Perhaps better would be to summarize "Lyrics and composition".
- Removed
- I'm not sure what "Best: First Things was certified 2x million... " means in the "Growing popularity" section.
- Removed
- RIAJ should be spelled out on first use, thus: Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).
- Done
- "was certified million by the RIAJ" - Meaning?
- That's to show the growth of her popularity.
- "a public apology on Fuji TV.[61][59][62][63]" - When you have a string of ref numbers, it's good to arrange them in ascending order.
- Put them in order.
- "Koda's forty-third single, yet untitled," - "Yet" is ambiguous. Better would be "untitled as of xxxx" where xxxx is the date that the information was released.
- Changed
- In the "Footnotes", it says, "She sold ¥12,702,200,000 in profits." Would "made" be better than "sold"? In any case, the yen here and later in this note should also be given in dollar equivalents.
- Done
- I noticed about a dozen small errors, typos, or misspellings as I read, and I fixed them.
- Thank you for reviewing. Moon and Sunrise 08:30, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
I hope these few suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog. That is where I found this one. Finetooth (talk) 07:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

- You said you wanted to know what to work on before taking to FAC, so I looked at the sourcing and referencing with that in mind. I reviewed the article's sources as I would at FAC.
- Current refs 3, 4 are in a non-English language and need to state that. Same for all the Oricon refs
- What makes the following reliable sources?
- Current ref 58 needs to give the language
- In general, double check that all your non-English refs note what language they are in.
- Hope this helps. Please note that I don't watchlist Peer Reviews I've done. If you have a question about something, you'll have to drop a note on my talk page to get my attention. (My watchlist is already WAY too long, adding peer reviews would make things much worse.) 02:05, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
