I've never heard read or seen anything that ever stated that the song "Prisoner" was scheduled for release as a single after "I Don't Wanna Cry" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.232.130.23 (talk) 17:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not: it's 9x platinum, not 10x

Platinum certifications in New Zealand are 15,000 units for albums, and not 10,000, so the sales are 60,000 :) Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_New_Zealand_Music_Chart Justabadguy (talk) 18:11, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria due to uncited text in the article, including several paragraphs in "Recording and composition". Is anyone interested in addressing this concern, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:01, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: I can work on this. Heartfox (talk) 21:24, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Heartfox: There's still uncited paragraphs in this article. Are you still interested in working on this? Z1720 (talk) 02:39, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Z1720: I improved citation; turns out the source was already in the section but cited only the last paragraph (this is the source [1]). Is it a good source; seems to be self-published? —LastJabberwocky (talk) 12:06, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• @LastJabberwocky: Website seems to be self-published with no editorial oversight. I recommend that the source be replaced with something more reliable. Z1720 (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
