Disambiguate this article

No Strings Attached is also a phrase; unless there is already another article with this name, make one called No strings attached (phrase). --TheSamurai 01:40, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Also...

No Strings Attached is also a comedy stand-up by Carlos Mencia. They should also have another article titled No Strings Attached (Stand-up Comedy) If they are going to make an article about as something as small as an NSync Album, they shold also make one about the funniest stand-up I've ever seen.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cacique92 (talk • contribs) at 01:48, June 29, 2006

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

"No Strings Attached Tour" section is unsourced.
"Worldwide, No Strings Attached sold 13.2 million copies in 2000 and was the 4th best selling album worldwide." -- unsourced
"it was still outnumbered by No Strings Attached domestically." -- unsourced
Discogs and WhoSampled.com do not seem to be reliable sources regarding the sampling. This is the only source that does not seem to be reputable. WhoSampled is user-submitted and therefore should not be used.

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
y
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
y
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
y
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
y
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
The above sourcing issues were the only significant issues I saw. I made a few other minor tweaks here and there. Take care of the issues I brought up and you should have this one good to go.

My only other recommendation would be to separate the members of NSYNC from the rest of the people in the personnel list. This isn't mandatory, but I think it flows better and makes it clearer which are members of NSYNC and which aren't.

Drive by comment. Release History section has no sources either. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:03, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I addressed this too. The nominator addressed all my other issues, so this gets a pass. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:10, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

US sales seem wrong

The footnote for the US sales says: "As of March 2015, the album has sold 12,980,000 copies in the US according to Nielsen SoundScan, which does not count albums sold through clubs like the BMG Music Club, where it sold 1.52 million units as of February 2003. Combined, it has sold over 14,500,000 copies in the United States." The last time official SoundScan number were published for the album was in 2014 when it was at 11.16 million. A 2019 Billboard article made reference to its total sales being at 12.98 million, but doesn't identify the source as SoundScan. I suspect that number already includes the music club sales, and 14.5 million is double-counting the music club sales. IMO it seems a little improbable a catalog album like this could have sold 1.8 million copies from 2014 to 2019, given that it only sold 48,000 copies from 2010 to 2014. See also: Millennium.
