Screaming Trees discography[edit]

I'm nominating many discographies today. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 19:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments'
    • Is there any verifiability to the release dates of the albums?(NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT FL)
    • Much of the prose in the lead needs references because they are not mentioned again in the article/list.
    • Any refs to the extended plays? Compilation? and Other appearances?(YOU DON'T NEED IT LOOK AT SOUNDGARDEN DISCOGRAPHY OR NIRVANA)
    • There needs to be an image in the list to illustrate the topic.(DON'T HAVE A IMAGE)

  • Comments
    • Headings shouldn't be capitalised per WP:HEAD(DONE)
    • Is VALIS notable? If so it should be linked, if not it probably doesn't belong here.(DONE)
    • No references for the lead at all. Almost all of it needs citation, you can't just say "In 2000, the band broke up due to internal strife over its creative direction." and expect to not reference it.(DONE)
    • "legendary punk record label " - legendary is a peacock term.(DONE)
    • Shouldn't the titles of singles, albums etc in the tables be bold and italic as per all other discogs?(DONE)
    • Remove space between director and ref [4].(DONE)

  • Comment - while you don't need an image to meet the criteria, do not necessarily refer to existing FLCs and say WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The FLC criteria have tightened significantly over the past few months and what might have qualified as FL back then certainly doesn't guarantee promotion now. Consider what SRX has said.

  • Comments part II
    • Caption for image is fragment so no period required.
    • Why are videos included in the infobox? (DONE)
    • Tripwires links to a UK indie band. Is this the one you meant? (YES)
    • " in 1986.[1] In 1986" 2 x in 1986, reads awkwardly. (DONE)
    • "The band would release two " why not just "band released two..."? (DONE)
    • "The band signed with the independent label Velvetone Records and released the Other Worlds EP in 1985 and their debut album Clairvoyance in 1986.[1] In 1986, the band signed with punk label SST Records and released its second full-length album Even If and Especially When.[1] The band would release two more albums under SST Records. The band subsequently signed with Epic Records in 1990. In 1991, the band released its first album for a major label, Uncle Anesthesia.[1]" read this and see how many times in a row you have a sentence with "the band..." in it. Bland reading. (DONE)
    • You've used ref [1] 9 times in the lead, on almost every sentence. No need.
    • Your ref says Dust was released in 1996 and then re-released in 1997. That's not in your list.
    • Same ref says "Swan and Broken" charted in the same year. This is not mentioned anywhere. You have Sworn and Broken - is this source reliable? (MISS SPELLING BY THE CHART THAT HAPPENS, BILLBOARD HAS ALSO DONE IT)
    • "Sworn and Broken" is not mentioned in ref [5] (BUT REF 6)
    • Where in ref [2] can I find at Bed of Roses making 23? Try this link? (DONE)
    • I'm not checking any more references this time round, you really need to make sure the specific references are just that, specific.

  • Comment part III
  • Support After a few adjustments I think this discography is ready to be a FL. Changed some things on the table, some links, I who also add the current picture of former drummer Mark Pickerel on this edition, So that's it. Cannibaloki 19:35, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I've copyedited the lead, but there needs to be references for the data in the Extended plays, music videos and compilations sections. Tuf-Kat (talk) 21:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the last EP as it does not appear on the site of Allmusic, and also why I read the site of Discogs that this last is a promo, the reference to the albums is general of Allmusic, then that's it. Regards, Cannibaloki 22:10, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A general Allmusic reference is not acceptable in this instance, I think, as the information comes from several pages. Sources should be cited to make it clear where the information comes from. It appears that the exact release date for Nearly Lost You, for example, comes from that album's page on allmusic, not from the page linked in General references. The exact page used should be linked in a specific citation for the information in question. Tuf-Kat (talk) 22:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
