I undid some of your changes again. It's often better to paraphrase and trim quotes where possible, because text consisting of mostly lengthy quotes can become very tiresome to read. There's another wiki dedicated exclusively to quotes, called Wikiquote. Also, a lot of the information you added may be too detailed for inclusion in an article on the album, which is why I moved it to separate articles: Stranger (Hilary Duff song), Dignity (song) and Gypsy Woman (Hilary Duff song). Wikipedia:Guide_to_layout#Headers_and_paragraphs recommends against short paragraphs. Song titles should be in "double quotation marks", not italics.
Another thing: when you kept restoring your changes, you removed things such as references and links to other articles. Please don't do that. The information about "Happy" being changed was already included in the article.
Also: Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks!
