This is one of the qualifying old articles, therefore a review is due easily. --K. Peake 08:36, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• Add a comma after studio album
• "It consisted exclusively" → "The tour consisted exclusively"
• "received some criticism." → "garnered some criticism."
• Pipe Billboard to Billboard (magazine)
• "its planned final date," → "its planned end date," to be less repetitive with the body
• "after the French government announced" → "following on from the French government announcing" with the pipe
• Add another sentence to the second para since three is not enough; maybe a bit more context for the film?

 Done

Background and development

• Remove commas around Madame X, also the source gives a release date of June 14, 2019
• The AllMusic source alone does not back up the generally positive part, so either find a source that does or remove this
• "Previous to the album's" → "Prior to the album's"
• Write 2019 Billboard Music Awards, as elsewise it could have been one in another year for all readers know
• Wikilink Page Six per MOS:LINK2SECT, also the term "in" should be used instead of "on" for a month
• Mention here that the BBC News interview was in 2017 because you have wrote that year in the lead
• "on May 6 through" → "on May 6, 2019, through"
• "the Madame X Tour began and ended" → "the Madame X Tour began and ended, respectively." on the img text, to be clearer
• Remove the mixed part since the source does not state that; instead, start the sentence with "Some fans complained of"
• "included forty-one musicians," → "included 41 musicians," per MOS:NUM
• "12 dancers and 14 of" → "12 dancers, and 14 of"
• "staircases and other reconfigurable" → "staircases, and other reconfigurable"
• "Wardrobe included a" → "The wardrobe included a"
• "with feathered tricorne hat and a chiffon dress" → "with a feathered tricorne hat and a chiffon dress, with"
• The source does not specify that the eyepatches are what was inspired by Paris 1902 nor does it say they are Madonna's trademark

Source does mention this: One image has as caption: As part of the stunning designs for Madonna's Madame X tour, Elizabeth Emanuel and her team spent many hours on the signature look - including the famous eye-patches, inspired by her Paris 1902 collection

• "Miu Miu and" → "Miu Miu, and"
• Wikilink black and white
• The source for the ending part of the tour only mentions that cancellation was forced, not what venue she last performed at
• Mention that it was "signed vinyls" available like you have do for the previous content that was framed and signed, per the source
• "hoodies and tees." → "hoodies, and tees."
• "photo booth and a" → "photo booth, and a"

 Done

Concert synopsis

• It is not sourced anywhere that she performed "Like A Prayer" for an encore, so maybe mention the staircase instead on img text?
• Regarding MOS:TVPLOT, are you sure having James Baldwin's quote with no source is not too much detail?
• I think it would be more appropriate to write the shows began if this is a generalization and elsewise, mention which show you are summarizing here
• "disturb the peace"." → "disturb the peace."" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences
• "as if he's been shot." → "as if he had been shot."
• Merge the "God's Control" sentence with the number one per them being too short for standing alone
• Add the release year of The Nutcracker since this is a film, so the year can be included unlike the songs where it would be too much
• "it counted with a" → "it featured a"
• "are projected across" → "were projected across"
• "Estere and Mercy James" → "Estere, and Mercy James"
• Remove full stop after "I'm not your bitch!" since the closing punctuation is inside the quote
• Pipe "Vogue" to Vogue (Madonna song)
• "shades and high heels." → "shades, and high heels."
• "had 14 of the 22 women of" → "had 14 women of" because you introduced the orchestra as having 22 members previously
• ""Fado Pechincha" and" → ""Fado Pechincha", and" per and being used again very shortly after this
• "this last one was" → "the last one was"
• The final speech mark is missing after Sodade
• "of the video of her daughter Lourdes." → "of the video of Leon." since she is the only person mentioned in this article with the surname
• "staircase surrounded by" → "staircase while surrounded by"
• Wikilink music video

 Done

Reception

Critical

• "received positive reviews from critics;" → "was met with generally positive reviews from critics." since this should not be in a review's sentence
• "Rob Sheffield deemed it" → "Rob Sheffield deemed the tour" with the wikilink
• "concluding that it "proves Madonna" → "concluding that it proves "Madonna" per the real quote/grammar
• Any full sentences quoted from the sources should have the punctuation inside speech marks per MOS:QUOTE
• "album and show, "Madame X" is" → "album and show, 'Madame X' is" because you can't use the same speech marks inside quotes
• ""at times, performance" → ""at times[,] performance" per the inserted comma
• "and naming it "one of" → "and "one of" to be less wordy
• "writing for Paper, opined it was" → "for Paper, opined the tour was"
• Remove duplicate usage of the word example
• You should only use single speech marks for the mentions of Madame X in the quotebox per my earlier comment
• "from the BBC News gave" → "from BBC News gave"
• "Writing for Las Vegas Weekly, Josh Bell" → "For Las Vegas Weekly, Josh Bell"

• "and presented in" → "and it is presented in" per the source's quote
• "Rhian Daly opined that" → "Daly opined that"
• Remove the comma directly after Chicago-Sun Times
• ""the show is hardly" → ""The show is hardly" per this being a full sentence quoted
• "expressed that "for Madonna" → "expressed, "For Madonna"
• "Victor Fiorillo wrote that" → "Fiorillo wrote that"
• "Fiorillo felt the show" → "He felt the show"
• "to shrink an arena show" → "to shrink a stadium show" and put more of this review into your own words per WP:QUOTEFARM
• Pipe Billboard to Billboard (magazine) and are there not any more accolades for the show?

 Done

Commercial

• Shouldn't you write $60 to $760 for consistency?
• "On October, Billboard reported that the first sixteen dates" → "In October 2019, Billboard reported that the first 16 dates" per MOS:NUM

 Done

Tardiness controversy and cancellations

 Done

Documentary

• Pipe documentary to Documentary film
• "On July 15," → "On July 15, 2021"

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; the sources have quite a few unreliable ones that I covered. --K. Peake 18:38, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I have covered all the points Kyle Peake!, let me know if I have missed anything --Christian (talk) 02:40, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Chrishm21 Nice work in starting on this so fast, but you have missed the fix of the October part in the commercial sub-section and not added anything to The New York Times ref that represents limited access. --K. Peake 08:25, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Kyle Peake I think I might have missed the part regarding limited access what do you mean by that? --Christian (talk) 14:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Chrishm21 When clicking on The New York Times articles, you are subject to a limit unless a subscriber. --K. Peake 16:16, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

 Done Kyle Peake --Christian (talk) 19:04, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Chrism21 ✓ Pass now, but I added a space before the ref's subscription template for you. --K. Peake 21:23, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
