Comments - Howdy.
  • Instead of Long Island, I would have thought American would suffice in the lead.
    • Reworded to "an American band from the United States."
  • Is this LIVE capitalisation correct? MUSTARD doesn't really allude to it, but I think it is dubious because it is merely a self-adopted style issue and not really necessary in a title.
    • I changed to the standards of Wikipedia; originally just copied the title of the article as it is today. (understand?)
      • Understood.
  • You have an extended denotes releases note at the bottom of the Studio and video album tables, any reason for this? Otherwise, you may wish to make this consistent to remove any chance of confusion.
    • Done. ("—" denotes releases that did not chart or the info was removed by some vandal.)
      • hehe :)
  • Chaos in Motion: 2007–2008 live album it says Roadrunner Records, should be → [[Roadrunner Records|Roadrunner]]
    • "Chaos in Motion" is a double DVD, which was also released in a 5-disc special edition including a live album (total = 2 DVD + 3 CD).
      • Crappy explanation on my part - just meant change Roadrunner Records to just Roadrunner...
  • Perhaps put the Peak chart positions row in above the charts in the Singles table
    • Done.
  • What makes these "Fanclub releases" notable? Just out of curiosity. If they haven't received any significant coverage besides their own website, then I'm not entirely convinced. Nevertheless, I'm not going to deny an FLC over an issue like this.
  • Caps in the Fanclub section:
    • The Making Of Falling Into Infinity → of
    • Once In A LIVEtime Outtakes → in a
    • Cleaning Out The Closet → the
    • Scenes From A World Tour → a
    • Four Degrees Of Radio Edits → of
    • Taste The Memories → the
    • A Walk Beside The Band → the
    • Images And Words → and
  • Sources look fine.
That's all I've got. Nice work Cannibaloki. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 13:09, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well done sir, well done... Cannibaloki 22:08, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Building on the comments below, I have a few helpies. Source for the director. Roadrunner issue was re-phrased above. For release dates, add external links to Allmusic, Discogs and Musicbrainz - whilst adding gen. refs to their website, Rolling Stone and Allmusic discographies. Will happily support following these. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 04:13, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
All done.--Cannibaloki 19:11, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, all resolved. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 04:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved issues from Rambo's Revenge (talk · contribs)
Oppose. I don't usually review discogs because I'm not very good and have no experience. However here are a few comments because the closure log is requesting reviews on this. I have citation concerns.
  • 1993, Live at the Marquee: There are 10 country of release columns and only 6 entries. The last four are missing. So did they not chart (mdash) or have you just not found the chart positions for it in the NLD, NOR, SWI, and the UK yet.
    • Live at Marquee was incorrectly moved from EPs to live albums section, but I fixed it. (understand?)
  • This piping, U.S. chart peak, is misleading. Anyone who didn't hover over the wikilink would probably think that is meant on the main chart (which is the Billboard Hot 100 if I recall correctly). However this is just some more minor chart.
    • I transformed this whole circus into a table "totally excellent!"
  • I want to check that this is not the case for "Japan chart peak", and that it refers to the main Oricon singles chart.
    • Yes, Oricon singles chart.
  • What is the criteria for having seperate tables for "Singles" and "Other charted songs". I'd have thought it would be something to do with a physical release, however this seems to indicate there was a physical release for Pull Me Under.
  • What makes Zobbel (ref 16) a reliable source, because I didn't find it listed here. All the other sources used were listed there or were from the direct charting company
  • That RIAA site for certifications doesn't seem to make a distinction between "Images and Words: Live in Tokyo" and "Images and Words: Live in Tokyo/5 Years in a LIVEtime" as you claim in the table. I find only mention of the latter.
    • Fixed.
  • The Billboard ref does not cite "Images and Words" at no. 60, it doesn't even mention it.
    • Images & Words peaked at number 61. (the ref. was added)
  • Ref 39 claims to cite Pierre Lamoureux as director but has no mention of it. These are serious problems and should have [ not in citation given ] tags. There may be others like this as I haven't checked them all.
  • Is anything citing any of the release dates?
  • Consistency issues e.g. Live albums: 2008: Chaos in Motion: 2007–2008 - Label: Roadrunner Records, wheras in Studio albums you just call it Roadrunner

Support. The reason I don't really reviewing discogs is because there is little variety and lots of refs to check. But check out they do and I have no further problems here, so I'm happy to lend my support. Well done, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 23:58, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments I also know little about reviewing a discography's but below are a couple suggestions.

  • I ran the article through AWB and nothing turned up there.
  • The lead and table structure looks good.
  • I think a little verbage would be useful for each of the sections of the different types of albums. I personally don't know the difference between a studio album and a compilation album is an I hope I am not alone.--Kumioko (talk) 17:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, there is a link to studio album and compilation album in the first sentence of the lead. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:42, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, that's what wikilinks are for. It is very common terminology in the music industry. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 18:36, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It still has many issues though. The lead section for example, is much too short.--Matthew Riva (talk) 11:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
