Composition

• For the audio sample, is 38 seconds 10% of 3:10?
  • No it's 20% but in my defense I didn't upload it (don't know how to). Till
    • You can remove it and ask someone to upload one that is 10%. It won't affect it's GA status if you do it after I've passed it. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

• "No Can Do" samples the song "Yes It's You", performed by Tennessee artist Sweet Charles Sherrell. → Sherrel was a bassist, not a singer, and helped produce songs for James Brown, so how does it sample something of his?

Commercial performance

• Why don't you use the Official Charts Company website archive for the peak instead of Musicweek? You can't get much more reliable than the Official Charts Company website.
  • Why? They state the same thing. Plus Music week is just as reliable. Till
    • I guess it's just because that is who is the official publisher and who I use. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

References

• You need to to change every reference to the date format: Day/Month/Year, for example 1 January 2000 (No comma). This article is about a British group, and is written in British English, so the dates should be written in British English.
  • Is this necessary? I mean people will know the date. All their articles follow the 2000-01-01 format. Till
    • Yes, they are a British group, therefore the article must be 100% written in British English. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:58, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
      • Done, and omg it looks so weird and ugly. Till
• Sheetmusicdirect link doesn't go to anything. Why not use Musicnotes.com ?
  • I checked but only Sheetmusicdirect has the sheet music, not Musicnotes.com (for some odd reason). Till
    • It didn't open with the No Can Do page though. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:58, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
      • Ohh you mean the actual sheet music itself on the Sheetmusicdirect website? Yeah, you can only view it with this program called Scorch. Till
        • Passing :) Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:20, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
          • Thanks Calvin. Till 11:21, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
