Comments

Be Sweet to Me (as of this rev)

• Add an appropriate ENGVAR template to the page.
• Add an alt text to the album cover image.
• Add translated titles for refs 10, 33, 45 & 46.
• WP:DUPELINK – The Music (magazine) in the Release and promotion section.
• Is Discogs an appropriate WP:EL??

• Yes, Discogs links appear as external links on countless album articles. It's been discussed several times over the years on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. Discogs is allowed as an external link but not as an in-line source (see WP:NOTRSMUSIC). – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 18:23, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
