Meshuggah discography edit

So far I did the maximum we could with this list, but I think there details to improve. Cannibaloki 20:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments Can the lead be expanded to be more than just one paragraph? Gary King (talk) 21:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks great, all of my concerns have been addressed. Drewcifer (talk) 04:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved stuff from Drewcifer

Comments Looks really good. A few suggestions. (PS, most of these suggestions apply to the Sepultura discography, so I'll avoid repeating myself at that FLC):

  • "US Indie." is a little slangish ("indie"). Howabout "Ind."?
  • ""—" denotes albums that were released but did not chart." is a little redundant. Can an album not be released and not chart?
  • The "EPs" section should be "Extended plays",
  • In the ep table, the chart doesn't need the double-header, since there's only one chart.
  • The "Soundtracks" section worries me. Per MOS:DISCOG, we're only concerned with releases that feature original material. I have the suspicion that "Rational Gaze" and "Shed" have been featured on other albums. If that's true, you don't need to mention these soundtracks at all.
  • MVDBase.com is not considered a reliable source. But the good thing is that music videos are usually considered to be self-referential (since they have credits), so you can just get rid of the citation and you're cool. Drewcifer (talk) 06:47, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't force the bolded title or the straight repetition of the title in the first sentence. I'd recommended getting right to the point and telling us who Meshuggah is.
    Take a look at Linkin Park discography, another current FLC that did a good job of making the first line more interesting. Basically my point is saying "This is a discography of Meshuggah" is unneccessary and poor writing. Drewcifer (talk) 15:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The chart columns are a little out-of-order. See MOS:DISCOG for suggestions.
  • Green tickY Done, But I not understand your first suggestion! Still not sure about the order of the chart columns. Cannibaloki 16:14, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to MOS:DISCOG, homecountry (Sweden) should go first, then every other country in alphabetical order. Or you have the option of Sweden, then an alphabetical listing of English-speaking countries, then every other country. Though I prefer the latter. Drewcifer (talk) 15:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


  • Comments Why do some music videos not have directors? Did any albums get gold/silver/bronze certifications anywhere? Tenacious D Fan (talk) 13:46, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Album charts in wrong order. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 10:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Drewcifer is right, there are two accepted options of ordering the peak chart positions. The first is home country, followed by everything else in alphabetical order, and the second is with the home country first, followed by English charts in alphabetical, then all other countries in alphabetical. I usually prefer the latter (and the way it now is in the list), but for this list I think that the US charts should be at the end, as for this band, the Finnish, French and Swiss charts are more relevant due to the proximity of those countries with Sweden compared to the US. It also looks odd with 3 US charts in the middle of the other 4.
  • Green tickY Done In this case, is a matter of sensitivity. Cannibaloki 14:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "full-lenght" → "full-length"
  • "A collection of demos (from the Psykisk Testbild EP) and rare recordings was released" Should this be "were released"?
  • The order of sections should be the same order as the infobox.
  • It appears no singles have ever been released. Is this correct? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • So far, nothing in the singles format was released. Thanks for the tips! Cannibaloki 14:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
