Nominator(s): Mister sparky (talk) 17:51, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I have done alot of work to this article recently improving content, sourcing, formatting etc and have had it peer reviewed and actioned any suggestions and I believe it's of a very high standard. Mister sparky (talk) 17:51, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. I think the leading section should follow the chronological order. Currently their first album released in 1986 is discussed first, then their first singles beginning from 1984 are discussed. This is not very logical. Ruslik_Zero 16:19, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

switched around. Mister sparky (talk) 22:16, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many incomplete sentences have periods at the end like Music videos from the Very album.. Please, remove them. Ruslik_Zero 08:37, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

removed from the video albums table. Mister sparky (talk) 15:39, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
thank you! :) Mister sparky (talk) 19:30, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment:
    • Both number one and number-one are used; be consistent.
if its written on its own, ie "reached number one" then no hyphen. if its written as a description, ie "number-one single" then it should be hyphenated. Mister sparky (talk) 11:43, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • "BPI's most prestigious accolade, the award for outstanding contribution to British music," Is there a specific name for the award or is it just that?

Just answer these two issues and I'll support. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 00:25, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

'Outstanding Contribution to Music' is the name of the award. Mister sparky (talk) 11:43, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose some picky things...
  • "but only managed to chart lowly" no need for this, perhaps "but charted lowly".
changed. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Shouldn't late 1985 be late-1985?
changed. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • " the Boys recorded" not keen on this at all, I don't recall them ever being referred to as "the Boys"...
changed all instannces to Pet Shop Boys. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "was certified 3× Platinum" in the lead, I'd prefer English, so three-times Platinum?
changed all instances. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • " Next album Behaviour, came a year later in 1990 " Their next album... and it was two years later, than 1988, wasn't it?
haha so it was! Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The duo do not consider it as a Pet Shop Boys single " do you have a reference for this?
it was a charity recording and was released under the artist name 'Absolutely Fabulous' and not promoted as a PSB single. will find a ref. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No need to link drum.
good point! Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The Boys also received the BPI's most prestigious accolade" do you have a reference for this?
added. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No need to capitalise "Cassette" in the tables.
good point. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • If In Depth didn't chart anywhere, how are you referencing its existence? Same for Essential & Party & Disco 4?
they charted in countries not featured in the tables. added allmusic ref. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • And Paninaro?
was released only in italy, the video is on the PopArt video compilation. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • You've merged two cells in the US Hot 100 ("Se a vida é (That's the way life is)" and "To step aside") why?
it was released as a double a-side. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Londonm " typo.
fixed. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Also includes, concert commentary and interview with the duo" unnecessary comma.
fixed. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "about the due with" duo?
fixed. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Capitalisation differs between article and template. I don't know what the "right" answer is in each case, but at least be consistent.
this discussion is about this article, and the article is correct. there is a ref somewhere which has Tennant explaining that song titles should be treated as sentences, with the first word capitalised and then only proper nouns. Mister sparky (talk) 13:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
