    {{subst:#if:In the Songs section, it would be best if the short sentences be combined together in a paragraph, as the short sentences look dull in the article. In the Canadian content section, add a period after this sentence ---> 'The album made much controversy in Canada concerning the system of Canadian Content'.Done

Also, this would help out a reader who reads this article. Same section, link 'Beauty in the Beast' and if your talking about the film, italicize per here, but if your talking about the theme leave it with quotations. Same section, it would be best to introduce names first instead of introducing them afterwards; Link 'Robert John 'Mutt' Lange' after the mention of Adams in the first paragraph, do the same with 'Michael Kamen' introduce the full name first and then add the last name afterwards. Same section, link 'Kevin Costner' and italicize 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'. In the Songs section, it would be best if '(Everything I Do) I Do It for You', 'Bryan Adams', 'Billboard', 'Grammy Awards of 1992', and 'Billboard Hot 100' once, per here. In the Release and reception section, un-link 'Mutt Lange', and mention 'Mutt Lange' in the Canadian content section instead of adding his full name, and italicize 'Billboard 200' and 'Billboard 100'.

No longer GA[edit]

It's been a long time since the article was assessed (2008), but in my opinion it no longer meets the GA criteria. The sections are a bit of a mess. One section (Release and Reception) repeats the content of other sections and does not cover critical reception at all. The sub-section entitled Songs reads more like Singles and should be part of a larger section titled Release and Promotion. Any suggestions / ideas? Leoseliv (talk) 14:39, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
