Sugababes discography[edit]

I'm nominating this discography because I believe it to be well referenced and complete. It covers all of the official releases from British girl group Sugababes. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 02:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. And good luck with the Girls Aloud discography! :) -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: How about an extra column in "Music videos" to let us know which album each track is from? Also, why so many references for the directors? You use ref #31 like a dozen times – I'd recommend just moving it up to the column header to tidy the display up a little. Seegoon (talk) 12:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great work. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 09:23, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Ref 17 is not specific, it's general. It goes to the homepage. And I'm aware it's because the URL is hard to access but I'm afraid that doesn't really cut it for me.
    • Same for ref 3 and ref 26.
    • Perhaps this is something for WP:DISCOGS to discuss.

Conditional support Very solid work! Two complaints: I'd like to see links to Music recording sales certification and List of music recording sales certifications (perhaps a la Garbage discography) in the first table. Second, the NZ and SWE columns in the Compilation albums table aren't neccessary. Drewcifer (talk) 21:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 02:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments - since they were missed last time, here they are again...
    • Last ref has an extra date field.
    • Refs 5, 16, 25, 36 and 42 are not specific - they do not provide the required citations.
  • The Rambling Man (talk) 07:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about taking so long. I was trying to figure out what to do with these citations. I have used these sources before in other featured discographies. If I do what Drewcifer did with the Garbage discography will that be sufficient? -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 15:20, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that would cover it - but make sure your instructions are specific to each site i.e. what to enter in which box. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ELNO #9 says to "avoid links to the results pages of search engines", so why is it okay in a reference? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 16:01, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, fair enough Matthew, that's a reasonable extension to that guideline. Perhaps these discogs need to look again because they all use this method of reference. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:04, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 16:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have found other reliable sources and have used them to replace the more general references that were included before. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 03:10, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional support I made some changes in relation to the table's layout, according to the resolution of my monitor that is 1024x768, then, if the nominator agree with my amendments... Cannibaloki 17:48, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have no objections. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:44, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good work. Cannibaloki 18:50, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your contributions. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 19:08, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved stuff from Cannibaloki

Support Really very good! Cannibaloki 15:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why in the table Compilation albums this writing below: ""—" denotes releases that did not chart.", if all did charts?
  • Reword the table Studio albums, because many informations are written in a redundant form.
  • Sales and notes -- example=(UK sales: 219,763+) better (UK: 219,763+);
  • Certifications (sales thresholds) -- example=(BPI certification: Gold) better (UK: Gold)
  • The tables aren't aligned.
  • "Change produced four singles, three of which reached the top twenty." Where?
  • "vinyl" better "LP";

Cannibaloki 06:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have added your suggestions into the list. Also, the first columns are aligned. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 16:52, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please fix TRM's references concerns, and then I will consider giving my support. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - I have the same concerna s Cannibaloki, why is a "-" denotes releases that did not char, if they all did chart. Also, fix TRM's references.--SRX 15:37, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Why not just put "UK sales" in the album table, put the reference in the header, and remove "UK:" from each entry. Same could be done for Certifications. Change it to "UK certifications", and remove "UK:" from each entry.
  • Why is there a Other singles section? Merge it into the main singles table. I'm guessing it's because they are collaborations, but other discogs don't do it this way.

Done. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 02:44, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Band Aid link is not specific (currently [42]) - fix this and the list will be promoted. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional support as I won't be around tomorrow. My concerns have been addressed so when Ref 42 is fixed, assume that this has my full support. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:17, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 14:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
