Notified: Discographies WikiProject

This list has ten dead links which fail Wikipedia's WP:V policy, it has sourcing to websites such as Discogs and Youtube, and it contains inaccuracies between the infobox and the lead. The 'Other appearances' section is in complete error as it contains some of their songs that are on compilation albums like So Fresh, which are not actual "other appearances", just that their song was featured on a compilation. I'm also concerned that the layout of this list is not the requirement for typical discographies. Till 12:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delist References need to be more reputable and reliable sources. Tables do not meet MOS:DTT, in its current state it's definitely not our best work. NapHit (talk) 01:31, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I believe I've addressed all these concerns. The article should now be at current FL standard.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 08:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 21:04, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • Comma before "it was certified eight times platinum for shipment of 560,000 copies" should be a semi-colon instead.
  • Same goes for the one before "it was six times platinum for 420,000 copies."
  • En dash needed in the 1994-2000 year range, in the one album title.
  • Redundancy in "the group released their first live album, which was also released...". Can we avoid having "released" used twice in a close area like this?
  • The 2001-2011 album needs an en dash in the title too.
  • Compilation albums: En dashes also needed for the same album titles in the two notes here.
  • In ref 7, the newspaper name should be italicized. Also, the same applies for ref 13.
  • All caps in ref 8 need fixing.
  • One of the sites in ref 25 has a year range that needs a dash.
  • Page numbers would be nice for the book used in ref 30. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've got all these.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:02, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Ref. 26 is incorrect and the website it links to is questionable. (Information removed.)
  • Ref. 40 does not state that Viner was the director.
  • Ref. 43 does not state a director as far as I can tell. (Perhaps the website looks differently for me.)
  • Ref. 46 is a reliable source because?
  • Ref. 51 is a reliable source because?

  2. In what way is the information incorrect?
    1. The ref has "Powderfinger On My Mind (V2) 2003 (22.11.2003): 180 (-/1) Love Your Way (V2) 2004 (27.03.2004): 125 (-/1) " Which verifies the charting claimed.
    2. As for Tobias Zywietz' site being questionable, I dispute this. It has existed since 1994, it derives its data from Charts Information Network (CIN) and The Official Charts Company (OCC). If there any more reliable on-line sites for such charting I would be happy to use them.
    3. The ref was accepted at the Kanye West discography FLC with the following comment by proposer (Holiday56): "Zobbel is the primary source used for UK chart positions below 100, and sources its information from official UK chart media. Several featured lists also use the site as a source".
  4. The ref states that Viner's "work has won local and international awards including Suzuki's 2009 'Story of the SUV-Asaurus', the 2003 animated music video for Brisbane band Powderfinger 'Sunsets', and most recently Best Children’s Animation at Mipcom Cannes for Polly Pockets 2010". [Emphasis mine].
  6. I'm having trouble here too. Might have to delete this ref.
  8. Head Pictures is the video production company, which is run by Escott, Lance and Baker.
  10. Concedo. I'll have to find a better one for this.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 08:40, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    2. What's incorrect is the publisher. It's not Official Charts Company. As for Zobbel.de, there's not one convincing argument in what you said about the site. Suggest consulting WP:RS.
      1. Although I think this is a reliable source for chart positions below 100, I've decided to remove the whole column of UK charting until an alternative ref can be found (if ever).shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 23:29, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    4. Yes, it says his work won awards, but his work as what? Director? It doesn't say that.

      1. I believe its a matter of implicit rather than explicit. He is a director (see second and fourth paragraphs), he worked on "Sunsets": implies he directed "Sunsets". A further ref for his being a director with Liquid Animation has been supplied. I hope this is sufficient.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 23:29, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
