Criteria marked are unassessed

Background

• "On October 2011" → "In October 2011" or add the exact date  Done
• "the Madonna fansite DrownedMadonna"

It's redundant to say it's a Madonna fansite when the title clearly says it

You do need to introduce the name of the artist with an appropriate link, though.

 Done

• "confirmed fake" → "confirmed to be fabricated"  Done
• No comma after "along with her choreographers"  Done
• "30%" → "30 percent" per MOS:PERCENT  Done

Development

Conception and rehearsals

• This time was referred to by Fogel "This time" reads as vague  Done
• Similarly, "it" in it would be divided into four different thematic acts – the whole tour, with different legs showing each of these themes, or would all four be present in each individual performance?

The concert was divided into four thematic acts.

• "Slackliner Andy Lewis was asked by Madonna" → "Madonna asked Slackliner Andy Lewis" for active voice  Done
• "the official one" → "the official list"  Done
• Comma after "Córdoba, Argentina" per MOS:GEOCOMMA  Done

Stage and costume design

• Don't love the use of "innovative" in quotes per MOS:QUOTEPOV  Done
• Use the conversion template for the various measurements in this section like "8ft"
• "could still be able" → "would still be able"  Done
• "eight costumes changes" → "eight costume changes"  Done

Multimedia and video

• Not sure why years are in parentheses after only some of the songs, and they shouldn't be used anyway, since it describes her performing them live, not the recording  Done
• Missing quotation mark in "Gang Bang"  Done
• "vice" in "vice presidential" should be lowercase  Done
• Unclear how the one visual is a "deliberate shot" at Lady Gaga  Done

Concert synopsis

• Jumbled present/past tense throughout section  Done
• "cabaret" should be lowercase  Done

Critical reception

Middle East and Europe

• "On his review of opening night" → "In his review of the opening night performance"  Done
• Comma after "praised the "visually dazzling" concert"  Done
• You only need to include surnames after the name is first introduced  Done
• Watch for MOS:DUPLINKs in this section, particularly for song titles that were linked above  Done

America

• What is "it" in "deemed it ambitious", the whole tour or the individual performance?  Done
• "also calling out" → "also critiquing"  Done

Commercial reception

• More precise measurement for "right after" – same night? Within hours? Minutes? After her Super Bowl performance or after the whole event?

That's how the source mentions it: Madonna's going on the road, and those tickets will go on sale right after the Super Bowl I have modified it; let me know if that works

• "with some premium packages cost" → "while some premium packages cost" OR "with some premium packages costing"  Done
• "A.M."→ "a.m." per MOS:TIME, and include a time zone

What do you mean time zone?

Since Abu Dhabi is in UTC +04:00, after "7 a.m.", you should write "(GST)"  Done

• I think Yankee Stadium should be linked upon its first mention in the reception, not down here  Done

Controversies

Political

• Per MOS:DASH, en dashes are used with spaces on either side, em dashes have no spaces; either is acceptable, as long as they are used consistently

They're only used on ask Madame Madonna — and everyone who organized her international show —, because that is how the source quotes it; let me know if I need to change it.

• Muslim should be capitalized; if the quote had it lowercase, then "[sic]" should be added  Done
• "On Louisiana," → "In Louisiana", and delink the state name per MOS:OVERLINK  Done
• "shot by members of the Taliban"  Done

Fire arms and nudity

• "firearms" is generally one word  Done
• "that kept her" → "that prevented her"  Done
• "if she did" what, exactly? (I know the answer is use simulated weaponry, but the sentence construction is unclear)  Done
• "didn't" → "did not" per MOS:N'T  Done
• "commented about the controversy" → "commented on the controversy"  Done

Paris' Olympia concert

• "Paris'" → "Paris's" throughout, per MOS:'S  Done
• "July 18 and, three days later," → "July 18, and three days later"  Done
• Replace dashes with commas around many of whom had allegedly paid more than €280 or had slept on the street overnight to be able to purchase tickets  Done
• "that it only" → "that the set only"  Done
• "had more than" → "had received more than"  Done

Pussy Riot and LGBT rights in Russia

• "were found guilty" please list the specific charges  Done
• "Russian Government" → "Russian government"  Done

Broadcasts and recording

• "random people" is part of Eichner's schtick, but not very encyclopedic terminology  Done
• "United States' relations" → "United States's relations" per MOS:'S  Done
• "talkshow" → "talk show"  Done
• "got to meet" → "had the opportunity to meet"  Done
• En dash instead of hyphen in "November 19-20"  Done
• Comma after "September 10, 2013" per MOS:DATECOMMA  Done

Set list

• Add period after the sentence explaining from where the adaptation was derived and after all of the notes, as they are all full sentences  Done

Shows

• Good

Cancelled dates

• Good

Notes

• This should be a level three subhead falling under the greater umbrella of the "shows" header, as all of the notes relate to that section of the article, if that makes sense  Done

Personnel

• Just as above, add period after "Adapted from The MDNA Tour program"  Done

References

• No obvious formatting problems
• "Unreliable" sources like the New York Post are used for basic factual information, not controversial political reporting

General comments

• Images look good, are properly licensed and relevant
• No stability concerns in the revision history
• Copyvio score is artificially inflated by proper nouns and direct quotes, but the article passes the eye test

I am experiencing some migraines and will continue to chip away at this, but I cannot look at screens for extended periods of time. — GhostRiver 18:12, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

That sucks :/ I suffer from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo so I'm also prone to migraines. Hope you feel better and look forward to the rest of your comments.--Christian (talk) 18:31, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your patience. I had a good head day and was able to finish my comments. Putting on hold for now. — GhostRiver 17:14, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi @GhostRiver:! I have corrected all the points you wrote down; let me know if that's OK. Hope you're feeling better! --Christian (talk) 19:48, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

All of my comments have been sufficiently addressed, happy to pass. Excellent work on such a long article! — GhostRiver 16:57, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
