Second single

Resolved

Adele confirmed during theBBC special that her second single would be When We Were Young.

Apparently, not confirmed. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 18:33, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Why is When We Were Young not an article yet? Too slow, Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.154.147.214 (talk) 20:44, 20 November 2015 (UTC) Another day later and still no article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.184.160 (talk) 03:30, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Update: There is now an article for the song. It has not been confirmed as a single but has charted in many countries. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Image of Greg Kurstin

Resolved

I replaced the image of Madonna with one of Greg Kurstin, who actually worked on the album, but my edit was reverted. Can we discuss who would be more appropriate to illustrate, or find a way to include both? It makes more sense to picture people who worked on the album, not those who inspired the album. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:54, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Update: I re-added an image of Kurstin, then staggered the Madonna image to display below. Works for me, unless others still want to discuss which is more appropriate if two is too many. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:57, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

My edit summary says it. If Greg Kurstin then why not the others? —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 23:57, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Why not who others? I'd be fine with including additional images of people who worked on the album. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Ratings

If we get ratings from Rolling Stone, Spin, and AllMusic, then PopMatters, Paste, and Slant Magazine get removed, do you all agree? Please, lets come up with some consensus what ratings are taken.The Cross Bearer (talk) 08:38, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Record

On top of breaking the NSYNC record for most album sales in one week, the page should mention that she also broke the Britney Spears record of highest first week sales by a female artist (Spears held the record with Oops I Did It Again in 2000). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.59.106.25 (talk) 19:08, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

It did not take a week, it took closer to just three days of the sales week to surpass 'N Sync's record. http://search.proquest.com.ezproxy3.library.arizona.edu/docview/1737419918/fulltext/BB1284A8DE5D4594PQ/58?accountid=8360 (Abbisabel (talk) 08:11, 28 September 2016 (UTC))

@Abbisabel: That reference is behind a Pro Quest paywall restricted by the University of Arizona. Do you have one that is accessible link? Karst (talk) 11:32, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Why is Ryan Tedder's pic here?

Did he do something profound? Is he important? Is he relevant? 2601:40A:4000:8BCD:4906:E3DA:6524:A97F (talk) 05:17, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Apparently he is more relevant than you. Why do you ask such non-sense questions? Read the caption under picture and you will see why his picture is here! — Tom^(T2ME) 11:28, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Where the album was written

Reading this article, you'd think most of the album was written in the US. In an interview with Shad, and talking about the writing process, Adele said 'I'd done the whole record in England, pretty much'. Can we somehow get this into the page so it reflects what actually happened, ie the vast majority was written in the UK?
