Jennifer Love Hewitt discography edit

Featured list candidates/Jennifer Love Hewitt discography/archive1

Nominator(s): Aoba47 (talk) 01:42, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone! Jennifer Love Hewitt is primarily known as an actress, but some people may be surprised to learn that she also had a music career. I had previously worked on the list of songs recorded by Jennifer Love Hewitt earlier in the year, and it successfully passed through the FLC process. It seems like the right time to draw attention to its companion list. I have only done one discography (for Alyssa Milano) before so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 01:42, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments edit

"American actress and singer Jennifer Love Hewitt has released: four studio albums, a compilation album, seven music videos, and thirteen singles (as well as five promotional singles)" => "American actress and singer Jennifer Love Hewitt has released four studio albums, a compilation album, seven music videos, and thirteen singles, as well as five promotional singles"
"Hewitt moved Los Angeles" - where did she move it to? ;-)
Mention that her first album was credited to "Love Hewitt" (and any other releases as appropriate)
"which resulted in Hewitt being removed from Atlantic" - I would say "which resulted in Hewitt being dropped by Atlantic" - that's the usual wording, I think, and "removed from" makes it sound like she was physically removed from the premises :-)
"The song reached number 59 [...] as well as number eight [...] and number 5" - bit of inconsistency here in how the numbers are shown
"It was gold certification" => "It received a gold certification"
"number 31 on ARIA Charts" - I think ARIA publish multiple charts so probably need to be more specific
"number 75 on the GfK Entertainment charts, and number 72 on the Dutch Charts" - same for both of these two. Even if the individual charts don't have their own articles, I would still write "Dutch album chart" or whatever
"both charted in the United States and internationally, and received a gold certification from the ARIA" - did both receive the certification? If so, I would say "and each received a gold certification from the ARIA"
The compilation album has what I presume to be its catalogue number shown, but the other albums don't - better to be consistent
Personally I would not include "acting" appearances in other artists' videos, as I don't feel they are part of her discography
"Madeleine's Love Song" is spelt differently in the table to the lead
Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:31, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: Thank you for the comments! I believe that I have address all of them. There were definitely some amusing typos in there lol. Maybe, Hewitt literally pushed Los Angeles to an entirely different state or was kicked out of the Atlantic offices by security lol. Let me know if there is anything else that requires further revision, and have a wonderful rest of your day! Aoba47 (talk) 19:33, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - all looks good now as far as I can see...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:41, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I did not expect to get comments so quickly. Aoba47 (talk) 20:49, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Enjoy the rest of your day. As for me, as I live in the UK, I am off to bed now :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:53, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Onceinawhile edit

Is there a source for the first sentence "has released four studio albums, a compilation album, seven music videos, and thirteen singles, as well as five promotional singles" and what date is this verified to?

I have followed the model for featured lists on discographies, like Lorde discography and Meghan Trainor discography. The citations used in the body of the lists are used to reference this information. It is also the most current information. I have not seen a discography FL include a date verified for this kind of sentence. Aoba47 (talk) 07:04, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. Which particular source(s) makes you feel certain that the sentence is accurate (i.e. that we are not missing any)?

I do not think there is a single site/source that lists all of Hewitt's music (albums, singles, and music videos). Hewitt is far more well-known as an actress, and I would not be surprised if people did not know she released music at all. I have checked through sites like AllMusic, Discogs, and others to make sure I have not missed anything, and I am pretty confident that I have caught everything. Aoba47 (talk) 12:15, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"on March 1992" => either put the specific day in March, or change it to "in March"

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 07:04, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"it produced three singles" seems an odd way to refer to an album. Perhaps "it included"?

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 07:04, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"under-performed commercially" -> underperformed what exactly - her other singles, or just Altantic's expectations

Revised. It pretty much means that the albums did not sell. Aoba47 (talk) 12:09, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"spawned two singles... was the only promotional single for the album." -> I don't understand this. Doesn't this mean there were three singles? And what is a promotional single - can this be wikilinked?

Promotional single is already linked in the first sentence, and a promotional single and a full single are treated as two separate things in the music industry. Aoba47 (talk) 12:09, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"and played a lead role in it" -> "in which she played a lead role"

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 12:09, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"has shifted her attention to acting over music" -> this sentence should move further up chronologically (before the 2006 reference).

Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 12:09, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well done Aoba47! A very well written list. Onceinawhile (talk) 07:33, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Onceinawhile: Thank you for the review! I believe I have addressed everything. Have a great rest of your week! Aoba47 (talk) 12:15, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great, you have my support. Onceinawhile (talk) 17:49, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Let me know if you need any help with any of your projects. Aoba47 (talk) 19:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments edit

Not an expert but after a quick look got some points which need attention.

it included three singles: "Dancing Queen", "What's It Gonna Take", and "Please Save Us the World". need a citation at least you can link youtube.

The citations for the singles are already present in the body of the list. Aoba47 (talk) 05:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Last line, The same year, Hewitt collaborated with Sophie B. Hawkins on a song for the comedy film Alpha Males Experiment. needs a citation

The citation for this is already present in the body of the list. Aoba47 (talk) 05:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While using italics for albums, series and movies, any reason why such used for Billboard, its not in any of the category mentioned before.

Billboard is a magazine so it should italicized. Aoba47 (talk) 05:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather ask to have seperate column for reference in the tables.

To the best of my knowledge, discographies use references this way. See Meghan Trainor discography as an example. I understand what you mean though. Aoba47 (talk) 05:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reference- 4 needs to add original date.

Added. Aoba47 (talk) 05:30, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 9,18,19, 35- Billboard have dates, ncan be added

The dates show when the album or song peaked on the Billboard chart, which is not exactly the same as when the site published the information so I do not think it would be appropriate to use the dates here. Aoba47 (talk) 05:30, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Everything else seems ok to me. Dey subrata (talk) 03:46, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dey subrata: Thank you for the comments. I believe that I have addressed everything. If there is anything else that needs to corrected, please let me know. Aoba47 (talk) 05:30, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks ok to me, I support. Dey subrata (talk) 07:07, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Ojorojo edit

All looks good, but I have a question about the tables. In the "Album" column of "As lead artist", the first entry "Non-album single" is shaded, which is usually used for entries in the first columns of tables. This also appears in columns for "Other appearances" (use rowspan=2?) and "Music videos". They all use {{n/a}}. Is there a reason for this? (I hope this isn't a peculiarity of my system, which happens from time to time). —Ojorojo (talk) 15:46, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ojorojo: Thank you for the comments. I changed the "Other appearances" table to include "rowspan=2", and I revised the "N/A" in the same part to "None" to be more descriptive. I have seen the {{n/a}} template and shading used in other discography lists, but I would be more than happy to remove it if necessary. Aoba47 (talk) 22:43, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Apparently, there are a number of templates that may be used in tables to provide contrast, including {{n/a}}, {{Non-album single}}, and {{Unknown}}. Their use reflects stylistic preference, so no need to change. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:10, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Aoba47 (talk) 01:27, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support from Rhain edit

I really wanted to find something to criticise here, but I've got nothing. You've got me stumped! It's a support from me. Well done. – Rhain ☔ 07:55, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Aoba47 (talk) 08:00, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Source review edit

Source review – ~~Us Weekly (ref 8) is one of those celebrity gossip-type magazines, and I'm not 100% sold on it being a sufficiently reliable source. Would it be possible to find a substitute reference for that part?~~ Otherwise, the reliability and formatting look okay, and the link-checker shows no issues. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:18, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Giants2008: Thank you for the source review! I have replaced the Us Weekly source with something hopefully more suitable. Aoba47 (talk) 15:33, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for swapping that one out. The source review has been passed. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
