I am nominating this for featured list because, after the last nomination I feel I have made the page a vast improvement since then.Marcus Bowen (talk) 20:07, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • No dabs and external links are all working, good.
  • The one image needs ALT text, basically describing the image to someone over the phone. Never heard of this, how would I go about it please? :), what mark-up text will I need?
    I'll add it this time, but take a look at it, that way you can do it yourself next time. Mm40 (talk) 14:31, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Paragraphs 2–4 all start with "In (year)". Vary it up a bit Done
  • Link Paranoid and Sunburnt. Done
  • Per MOS:HASH, replace a number signs (#) with "No." or "number". Done
  • "in that same year" can be reworded "the same year" Done
  • Link Weak, Charity, in the second paragraph. Done
  • Link Stoosh, Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good), "Brazen (Weep)" and Post Orgasmic Chill in the third paragraph. Done
  • "the band reformed", you should change "reformed" to another word, as reformed means changed, not formed again (might be British vs. American English) Done
  • The last paragraph needs a reference because none is given in the tables (you should repeat the ref in both the lead and album table). Done
  • The first section should be titles "Studio albums" to match with colored template in the lead. Done Nirvana discography has box sets and compilations listed with the studio albums, so I done a similar thing here.
  • The first sentence and template says 3 studio albums but the table and rest of lead has four. Done see above
  • All empty cells in the "Albums" table need emdashes (—); some have them and some don't. Done
  • Why is POR (for peak chart positions in the albums' table) linked only to Portugal? Done There is no article on the Portuguese charts, so going by wiki guidelines, linked this to the article on the country itself.
  • The format for Smashes and Trashes should have a comma, not a period Done
  • I guess One Little Indian didn't give Smashes and Trashes a number? Done Just copied it off my CD box set.
  • The first certification box has countries linked but the others don't; make this consistent Done Only Portugal does not have an article on its domestic sales award body, so linked this to the countries article. IFPI awards domestic gold and platinum discs to a few countries as well as Europe as a continent.
  • "Little Baby Swastikkka" needs a reference for its release because it didn't chart. Done
  • Why is AUT and SWE (for peak chart positions in the singles' table) linked only to Austria and Sweeden? Done
  • Link "Charity" Done
  • Some references have retrieval dates written out while others have YYYY-MM-DD Done
  • Reference 2 should include the publisher (Cidermill Books) and the date of publication (2004). Done
  • Reference 28 is malformed Done
  • For refs 36–39, the publisher is Amazon, not amazon.com Done
  • The first two categories should have "|*" afterward so the article shows up first. Please may you explain this to me further?
  • Again, I'll do it here. Because this article isn't technically part of the category (it's a list of songs and albums, not a song or album itself) we make it show up first. Mm40 (talk) 14:31, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty good overall, after these are fixed, I'll be happy to support. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 03:48, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Below the Singles table, what does "|*" mean? Done
  • "2x" Use the character "×" instead of the letter. Done
  • Delink Italy in the lead; see WP:OVERLINK on linking commonly known geographical terms. Done
  • "2009 saw the band return" Not sure what this means. Done Dabomb87 (talk) 16:52, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why have you used the Hung Medien search pages rather than the discography pages? Done
  • You should use {{cite album-notes}} for ref #41. Done Dt128 let's talk 12:17, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the certifications column, why are the names of the countries spelled out in full, rather than abbreviated? Done
  • Why are the certifications in a smaller font? Done Dt128 let's talk 12:15, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Allmusic is published by Macrovision. Done
  • The publishers of the Hung Medien sites are usually referred to by the website name followed by "Hung Medien", rather than "Finnish Charts Portal" for example. Done
    • What I meant here was, for example "Finnish-Charts.com. Hung Medien" done
  • Amazon is usually not considered a reliable source - why not try to look for an alternative source at Allmusic? Done Dt128 let's talk 12:15, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • What makes Hit Parade Italia reliable? I used to follow the European charts on MTV text, I remembered the singles and albums charting at those positions on the charts in Italy and this website agrees with what I seen at the time.
    • I agree, but what actually makes it a reliable source? Done, removed source and chart positions mentioned in the source until I can find a reliable source. The only source of Italian chart archives deemeed reliable is Hung Medien, but the info only goes up to a certain time after the albums and singles were released so don't show on the Hung Medien site.


  • Just to let you know, the Dutch-Charts.nl site shows the chart positions for the Dutch Single Top 100, rather than the Dutch Top 40. Maybe you could change the column header to something like "NLD 100" to avoid confusion?

Comments
  • Infobox counts and lead don't match up. Done
  • Our Anansi article doesn't have an e. Which article is this?, the band name is spelt with an E
  • probably worth expanding "Spider-man" just a bit in case people think you're referring to Spiderman... Already done by another user
  • Is gold/platinum capitalised in certification context or not? Seems not in the prose but is in the table... any reason why? Done
  • I think "totalled" is BritEng and should be used in this article. Done
  • Not keen on the single-sentence final paragraph, nothing more you could say about that reunion and subsequent releases? Done
  • "Italian singles chart position taken from www.hitaparadeitalia.it" not sure why this is mentioned. If you consider it unreliable then I would remove the Italian stats altogether. Done

Support Looks solid to me. Only one complaint: some general references would be helpful, a la The Prodigy discography. Drewcifer (talk) 12:42, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
