• No mention on the article of Anjos Troncho as a single + needs source in the body of the article
  • Added a source

 Done

  • Done
• My sentence is quite different. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:57, 3 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
• The proposed rewrite is not grammatically correct. The verb phrase "move into" requires an explicit object, which is missing in the suggested sentence. The current wording is perfectly clear and formal. Cattos^💭 00:37, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

  "Move into the house", there is your precious object

  The current wording is the longest sentence ever broke down by 3 references in the middle of the sentence, just to make it a little harder to read because it was to easy. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:22, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

  Rephrased

 Done

• Fine

• to this text→ which one?
• "The song was stronger than me and became if too strong in defining my future. Now I had thought about not composing almost anything else. I ended up making my first album just of my own compositions (lyrics and music)" → paraphrase
  • I must've relocated this excerpt elsewhere because it did not seem appropriate for the critical reception section nor did it directly relate to the album. The passage discusses Veloso's career rather than the album itself, so it was removed. Cattos^💭 00:37, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Done

• Fine

• Producers and songwriters?
  • there is no need to include separate producer or songwriter credits. All tracks on Meu Coco were produced by the same producers, and the album consists entirely of songs written by Caetano Veloso. Since this information applies uniformly across the album and is already stated elsewhere in the article, repeating it in the track listing would be redundant.

 Done

• Instead of - → use  – (click to see the diference)
  • Done

I assume the issue was the absence of a non-breaking space before the en dash. While I think the visual difference is minimal, I have applied it to match the suggested formatting. Cattos^💭 00:37, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Done

• This goes into the reception section and remove the table
  • Done
    • remove the table put it into text only. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:18, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I only realized now what you meant. I've removed the table and incorporated the information into prose. Thanks for the clarifications. Cattos^💭 00:37, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Done

• Fine

• Date for Streaming and LP in Europe?
  • This information is not available. Only CD release dates are documented, as there was no CD release in Brazil.
• How about Portugal since it charted there (I know its part of Europe)?
  • I've noticed that I mistakenly listed the streaming release as Brazil-only, even though the source is a streaming platform and therefore implies a worldwide release. I've corrected the entry to reflect a worldwide streaming release.
    • I don't care if you wrote 500 times, signed the post 500 times, makes both of our live easier. We stopped using the word worldwide, we use various now. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:06, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
      • Sorry, I didn't know. Cattos^💭 22:26, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
• References should be at the end of the table with appropriate section
  • Could you clarify what you mean by this? Cattos^💭 00:37, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

  Example provided 24K Magic. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:07, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

  • Done

 Done

• The Toronto Star, Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, G1, The New York Times...only on their first appearance (example: wikilink Folha de S.Paulo on its first instance, but not the second) → wikilink
  • Done. Cattos^💭 00:37, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
• Monkeybusiness and Música Instantânea are reliable

 Done

• You can now address the comments. Good luck! MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:36, 2 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
• You are not doing one single recommendation and I would love to know the reason. Plus please sign your comments and posts. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:01, 3 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

  I don't have a lot of time in my hands, that's why I haven't responded to all the points, please be patient :) but I'm confused on why some things are still marked as "not done". Could you be more specific? Cattos^💭 18:32, 3 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

  I left points there. I haven't checked the lead. I will do once some of these points are addressed MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:58, 3 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Cathodography: I made some changes, see if you are ok with those. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:02, 5 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'm fine with them. Cattos^💭 23:40, 5 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
