Girls Aloud discography[edit]
This was at WP:PR for 8 days and got no feedback. I can only hope this means it's as good as it can be. Thank you for your consideration. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 03:50, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- They have also provided eleven original recordings for other albums, and appear on three more non-music DVDs. - from the context, "more" isn't required in the sentence
- done
- Their second single, "No Good Advice" was released in both CD and DVD single formats in May 2003. - either add a comma after the single's name or remove it the comma before it
- done
- A week later, the girls released their debut album Sound of the Underground, which was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). - since it is also their name, capitalize Girls, because if it was a male group you wouldn't say the "guys"
- done -- changed to "group"
- The third single to be taken from the album was "Life Got Cold". - period should be within the quotation marks
- not done - the period is not part of the single's title.
- They released their debut single "Sound of the Underground", which reached the coveted Christmas Number 1 on both the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart. - comma should be within the quotation marks
- not done - the period is not part of the single's title.
- Their fourth single, "Jump", a cover version of "Jump (for My Love)" by The Pointer Sisters, was taken from the soundtrack for the film Love Actually, and appeared on the re-issue of Sound of the Underground. - comma should be within the quotation marks
- not done - the period is not part of the single's title.
- What Will the Neighbours Say?, the group's second album, was released in November 2004 and produced four singles, "The Show", "Love Machine", "I'll Stand by You", and "Wake Me Up". - commas and periods need to be within the quotations marks
- not done - the period is not part of the single's title.
- Preceded by the singles "Long Hot Summer" and "Biology", their third album, Chemistry, was released in December 2005. - like above, commas within quotation marks
- not done - the period is not part of the single's title.
- Basically, punctuation should be within the quotation marks, unless I am not aware of them being outside of the marks.
- I don't believe this is true. The punctuation is not a part of the title, it is part of the commentary.
- Sources for notes 4 and 5?
- done

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:59, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support:
The country names in the title shouldn't be in bold
- Well since you've done it I'll leave it, but I disagree. The country names appear as part of the table header and I haven't seen a table without bolded headers. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email)
BPI certification: Platinum → UK: PlatinumIn the compilation albums section → Header should be "Certifications" not "Sales and certifications"- Everything should be organized as it appears in the infobox
- The page follows the layout of all other discogs. The infobox is sorted the way it is by default, and unless I change the infobox, there's not much I can do about it.
- I agree it would be preferable, but I can't see a good work around. I disagree with the shift of the "Other appearances" section to below "Other DVD appearances" because now it goes albums, songs, music videos, dvds, songs. I'd prefer to keep the songs all together, and if you are happy with that reasoning I'll put the section back where it was. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email)
- DVDs → all should be under the main heading "Video albums"
- But not all of them are albums. Some are, for sure, but others, like Ghosthunting, Pop Idol, etc aren't. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email)
- Maybe add catalog numbers?
- Do these add to the encyclopedic value of the page? If so I'll add them, but I'm not convinced they do. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email)
Album → Album detailsSingle → SongMusic video → TitleMusic video titles shouldn't be in italics- In the Other appearances section:
Song title → SongRelease → Album/Single
