Madonna albums discography[edit]
Toolbox |

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel this is a complete list featuring Madonna's albums (studio, live, compilation etc). Since her catalogue is huge so there are two separate articles for singles and albums. This is the albums discography of Madonna. I believe the article is worthy of being Wikipedia's best. --Legolas (talk2me) 05:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:LEAD, the lead section should have a maximum of four paragraphs. This article has five.The following references should be updated, as they redirect to different titles: "Madonna's label sues record giant", "Madonna Makes a $60 Million Deal", "Thank You For the Music! How Madonna's New Single Will Give Abba Their Greatest-Ever Hit".Discogs is a user generated site and not a reliable source.Some references do not use templates (specifically the book references). Considering using the {{harvnb}} template.More than one reference contains <ref name="aus">, despite having different content. Please correct this.This reference is used more than once. Consider combining duplicate references.— ξxplicit 02:30, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- I made a few suggestions to the nominator before he brought it here, so I'm pretty happy with it right now, and don't have that much to offer, especially after the reviews that have already come. Generally it's very good, although I'm a bit concerned that the sales figures will date and may become unverifiable. Some are referenced to books from 2002 and 2004 -- surely they're more than that by now?
- Actually I did try to find references as current as possible but its very difficult for pre 1990 albums when Nielsen Soundscan didnot track their sales. Hence the recent most book is used. Sorry about that. :(
- No problem. I know we work on the "WP:V, not Truth" principal. :) Matthewedwards : Chat 04:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- The book by Maury Dean is listed in the references section, but no notes use it.. is that a mistake?

- OK, one final thing is that I don't think the 3 "List of bestselling albums in..." are particularly necessary in the see also section, but it's a personal preference and nothing that's a big deal. Support Matthewedwards : Chat 04:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Conditional support on fixing the overlinking in the References section. The list appears comprehensive and well sourced. However, you should de-link pretty much all of the wikilinks in the references section. We already have wikilinks for most these in the article (such as Billboard or Australian Recording Industry Association) and the others (e.g. BBC or The Daily Telegraph) aren't really helpful IMO.

- OK I understand about wp:overlink on Billboard and ARIA, but how does a single link of BBC and The Daily Telegraph violates wp:overlink? --Legolas (talk2me) 04:42, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It doesn't. I just mentioned that "IMO" those weren't really helpful but if you disagree then that's fine. The issue was the overlinking. Colin°Talk 09:02, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
