Discography of former Spice Girl member Geri Halliwell. I'm nominating it because I believe it to be complete and well referenced. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 01:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments by Dweller
- Could the tables be sortable?
- I don't think so while they use
colspanandrowspan.... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]- OK, should the tables be sortable? --Dweller (talk) 15:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think so while they use
- I think the Lead should specify that the scope of the article does not include Spice Girls material and include a prominent link to a suitable list/article for that
- "number one single "It's Raining Men"," includes geographical POV - unless you'd describe a single as a "number one single" if it reached number one in any chart, anywhere
- "Passion did not perform as well as previous releases, failing to chart throughout Europe." - claim contradicted by table stats.
- Why are album titles italicised by Singles in quotes? Even that is inconsistent - see the Singles table
- Were none of her singles released in the USA?
- What's the rationale for the order of the countries in the tables?
- Are videos normally part of a "discography"?
That'll do for starters! --Dweller (talk) 14:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I have added your comments into the lead section. The version you probably viewed was the vandalized version. I have now reverted all the table back. This now includes her releases in the US. Videos are normally apart of a discography. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Discographies/style for more information. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 14:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Is D/CP the most authoritative chart for the USA? Isn't there one based on sales? It would seem to bias in favour of dancey tracks... --Dweller (talk) 14:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's the only chart Halliwell charted on in the US. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 15:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd remove it. It's misleading, as the others are "proper" charts, it gives this undue weight. --Dweller (talk) 10:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done! -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 16:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Can't find anything to complain about! Well done. Drewcifer (talk) 05:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks! -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 16:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose, not enough in-line citations for the list itself. Specifically the video section. GreenJoe 00:19, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I have added inline citations for the music video section. As for the charts themselves, they are all cited in the references section. This format has been widely used in other featured discographies (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Discographies/style#Citations and references). -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 03:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- Did Halliwell debut in 1994? I know that's when the Spice Girls were formed, but their first release wasn't until 1996.
- Typo: "reccording"
- I always find it odd that singles charted in certain territories, but albums didn't. Can it be verified that her albums didn't chart in Australia and Ireland, and the singles didn't in the US?
- Fixed the typo. I changed it to 1996. It's true what you said. They formed in 1994, but didn't actually "debut" until 1996 with "Wannabe". I cannot find any reliable sources that say Halliwell's album charted in Ireland or Australia. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 14:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think you're right re Ireland and Australia. I've done a big ol Googling of both today with nothing to speak of. I can't see anything else with the discog to comment on, FLC wise, so I support. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 06:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
