Tori Amos discography

[edit]

Self-nom I have been working on this discography for about 2 months and have greatly improved the overall quality. At this point, I'm looking for feedback on what is left to do to achieve FL status. Thanks! --Pisceandreams (talk) 03:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • What makes the following sources reliable?
I'm unclear what makes everyhit.com unreliable? It's not user-based or influenced, it's a chart position database. Also, several featured list discographies include this source. --Pisceandreams (talk) 03:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note the discussion here Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 11#Tenacious D - Reliability check. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Current ref 20 (Tori Amos to release new album...) is lacking a publisher. Also, what makes this a reliable source?
 Fixed - Replaced Starpulse.com source w/ one from Billboard.--Pisceandreams (talk) 03:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Otherwise sources look okay. Links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Tori Amos is an American pianist and singer-songwriter whose musical career began in 1980, at the age of seventeen, when she and her brother co-wrote the song "Baltimore". - period should be in between the parenthesis, (i.e "Baltimore.")  Done --Pisceandreams (talk) 21:02, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The song was selected as the winning song in a contest for the Baltimore Orioles and was recorded and pressed locally as a 7" single. - what is a 7" Single?  Fixed Added a wikilink --Pisceandreams (talk) 21:02, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • From the Choirgirl Hotel, Amos' first album written and recorded with a band and her first album recorded at her home studio, Martian Engineering, debuted in May 1998 at #5 on the Billboard 200 and at #6 on the UK Top 40.[16][9] - with what band? a comma is needed after "band." What does "her home studio" mean?  Fixed Changed to "From the Choirgirl Hotel, Amos' first album written and recorded with band mates Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass and Steve Caton on guitar, and her first album recorded at her in-home recording studio, Martian Engineering, debuted in May 1998 at #5 on the Billboard 200 and at #6 on the UK Top 40." with wikilink to "recording studio". --Pisceandreams (talk) 13:33, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The second paragraph of the lead really needs to be cut down or split into another paragraph as it is too long.  Done --Pisceandreams (talk) 12:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The following year, To Venus and Back, a double album of original studio and live material, debuted in September 1999 at #12 in the US and at #22 in the UK.[17][9 - "of original studio?"  Fixed Removed "original" --> "a double album of studio and live material..." --Pisceandreams (talk) 12:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is the additional information in the table needed? It is unsourced and unverified and is a bit trivial.  Fixed Removed said column from the studio album, compilation album, live album and EP tables. --Pisceandreams (talk) 20:58, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The tables should follow the format of the Lostprophets discography, not an FL but FL's follow this format. In this way the noted are incorporated into a row in the table, and the size of the table is decreased.  Done --Pisceandreams (talk) 12:57, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • What are B-Sides?  Fixed Added a wikilink --Pisceandreams (talk) 12:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • In the music videos section, in the 1996 & 2003 row, unknown needs to be capitalized.  Done --Pisceandreams (talk) 12:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--SRX 19:08, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Further Comments
    • A bit better, but because the B-sides are in a collapsible table, they should not be in a section format since you can't access it from the ToC, I would recommend instead that you just place the section headers in a bold format.  Done - Good point and I agree with you completely on that. The issue of the inaccessibility from the ToC never occurred to me. --Pisceandreams (talk) 12:17, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The dashes in the videos section need a note of explanation.  Fixed - I opted to remove them so as to comply with other tables in the article --Pisceandreams (talk) 12:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The additional information in the videos, music videos, and soundtracks should also be removed because most of it is unsourced and irrelevant to the "discography" itself.  Done - Embedded a few pertinent items as footnotes in respective table. --Pisceandreams (talk) 13:12, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • WP:DASH 1984-89
  • "Shortly thereafter" sounds slightly archaic
  • Visit MOS:DISCOG for what to put in the Certifications column
  • Why is the album column not left-aligned? It makes the bullet points look funky
  • I'm not convinced More Pink: The B-Sides is a legitimate release. It appears to be just an extra disc added to a re-release of an already released album
  • Live at Montreux 1991/1992 has not been released, therefore is not part of the discography yet.
  • iTunes is not a label
  • Unnecessary whitespace in the singles table's header. Condense "US Adult Top 40" to "US Adult"
  • B-sides aren't usually allowed in discographies, which lists releases, not tracklistings. Why are B-sides included but album tracklistings not?
  • Studio albums, live albums, compilations, EPs and Official bootlegs should be level 3 (===) sections of a Level 2 "Full length releases"
  • Soundtracks, tributes, other contributions should all be level three subsections of a Level 2 section
  • According to The Lead and How to Swing It she only contributed to "I Wanna Get Back With You"
  • Without You I'm Nothing is a dablink
  • According to Last Days of the Century, she only contributed to "Red Toupee" and "Last Day Of The Century"

Oppose This list is simply incorrect and not ready to be a FL. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:13, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to your comment, "At this point, I'm looking for feedback on what is left to do to achieve FL status", WP:FLC shouldn't be used as a peer review to see what else is necessary. That's what WP:PR is for. FLC is to nominate lists that are ready to be promoted and need only minor tweaking. Regards, Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:15, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
