Good Article review progress box

1. Well-written
- It was released on March 25, 2014 through Reprise Records, and is a collection of 19 songs from across My Chemical Romance's discography from 2001 to 2013. Add a comma after 2014 and remove the comma after Reprise Records.
- Done.
- The album was supported by "Fake Your Death", which was released as a single on February 17, and was the final song... Remove the comma after February 17.
- Done.
- The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who viewed the release as a good overview of the bands history... Change bands to band's
- This same issue also comes up repeatedly in the Background and release, Music, and Reception sections
- The albums cover art was designed by Way,... Needs to be album's
- Resolved both.
- It charted in several countries, and was later certified platinum... Remove the comma after countries.
- Done.
- It features a ruined, half-destroyed statue in the center in a marching uniform from The Black Parade (2006)... Add wikilink to The Black Parade
- Done.
- May Death Never Stop You was released on March 25, 2014 through Reprise Records. Add a comma after 2014.
- Done.
- Washbourne liked the inclusion of the demos, and felt that while the album... Remove the comma after demos.
- Done.
2. Verifiable
Passes Earwig's, the highlighted similarities are song titles and properly-attributed quotes. AllMusic and Rolling Stone are on WP:RSP but are fine in this context. Spot check: 2, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18, and 25 are fine.
- In January 2014, it was announced that the album would contain the final finished song the band had created, "Fake Your Death". Ref. 7 doesn't support the statement that it was their final finished song. Same ref. also doesn't support: "Fake Your Death" is a piano ballad...
- Added a different reference to both to support these statements.
- Similar thoughts were written by Carla Washbourne of Drowned in Sound. He felt that, in most cases, creating a compilation of the bands work would have been difficult, and highlighted bands decision to use fan-favorite songs over what he considered to be "less interesting" radio singles as helping combat this. This review should be attributed to Evan Swadey from PopMatters, not Washbourne
- Done.
- Ref. 27 is a dead URL and needs an archived version added if possible
- Added archive URL.
3. Broad
- The final paragraph in the Reception section is better suited for the Fake Your Death article.
- Same with the reviews of "Fake Your Death" in the Music section. I do think the rest of the Fake Your Death information found in the Music section is relevant since it discusses the breakup and the scrapped fifth album
- This was only here back when Fake Your Death didn't have it's own article and I felt that covering the song's discussion in album reviews was necessary. But it has it's own article now. Anyways, removed.
4. Neutral
The article is neutral
5. Stable
The article is stable day-to-day
6. Illustrated
The album cover is the only image used, and it has non-free use rationale.
