I'll review. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:00, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Partial review for now.

Before I actually review the article, I must say "wow", 51 languages have articles on Charles. That really underlines his significance.

Okay, one thing you might consider is a notes section, through the <ref group="notes"> function. It could be used to isolate interesting facts (CA's meeting with Perez, Dylan's review of CA, etc) away from the main narrative, but still keep them accessible. None of these asides cripples the article as it is, but they can be distracting.

Music

This section is very recent-skewing. If you ignore other people recording CA's songs, the first date is 1994. If you ignore collaborations, the first date is 2006. A variety of the things you talk about in this section would be notable in an article about his career in the 21st century, but they're blips in the 1946 to present scheme of things. Stuff like

• "as of December 2013": this needs to be updated, with a current reference. "the world over" is a little too flowery for WP, worldwide or internationally might be better suited.Done: I removed the December 2013 stuff. Also, I removed the flowery words as well.
• Reorder the 2008 paragraph; you talk about a tour ending in February, a TV appearance in January, and then touring the rest of the year. Flop the first two sentences. Done
• "Order of Canada and performed the following day" --> "Order of Canada. He performed the following day" Done
• "music video band aid (clip)" --> what's clip there for? Done: Removed "(clip)" also made some clarifications to the sentence.

Awards and recognition

• 2010, honourary order, who issued this? France, Russia, an organization? Done: Award was received from Russia. I also changed to reference to reflect that.

Passing "Discography", "Filmography".

Documentary films

• The Muppet Show is a documentary? Even if it was hosted by an actual amphibian, variety shows are planned and scripted, documentaries generally aren't. Done: I put it under films. If you disagree we can try something else.

@EtienneDolet:: More later, but you can begin to revise now, if you'd like. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:00, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Zanimum: Thank you very much for the review. I did the changes you've requested thus far. Let me know you think. Étienne Dolet (talk) 01:49, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Placing this back in the queue since Zanimum's clearly abandoned this. Wizardman 04:14, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
