Smash Mouth discography
[edit]... that the Smash Mouth discography includes three albums that were certified by the RIAA?- ALT1: ... that two of Smash Mouth's US top ten hits are associated with a big green ogre?

Article was 5x expanded today, and the RIAA certifications are verifiable. A check for copyvios brings up possible close paraphrasing of https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/The_White_Stripes_discography.html, including stock phrases such as "denotes a recording that did not chart or was not released in that territory" - I'm not entirely sure if that's an issue or not. The hook isn't exactly, well, "hooky" - we could do with something that grabs the reader's attention. If you can work the Shrek references into the article for "All Star" and "I'm a Believer", we could have "... that two of Smash Mouth's US top ten hits are associated with a big green ogre?" That looks more interesting. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:07, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

- All discography pages on Wikipedia have the same phrasing in the charts sections, so that shouldn't be a problem. As for the hook, I added the suggestion as an ALT1 after adding the fact to the article. - PM800 (talk) 23:39, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Okay, passing with ALT1. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:47, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
