I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to try to take this list to FLC. This song list differs a bit from other song lists in how the lead is presented, but I think the lead does its job at informing the reader who Rise Against is, what their songs sound like, and finally providing a complete list. I guess what I'm looking for is opinions on whether or not the lead works as is, or if it should be altered to reach standards set by other Featured song lists. I'd also like feedback on the decision to not include songs that weren't recorded, but were simply live performances included in an album. As always, I'm a believer in quid pro quo, so if you do a peer review for this list, I'll be happy to repay the favor. Thanks! Famous Hobo (talk) 04:40, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do the liner notes for all of those albums really list Rise Against as songwriters instead of listing individual members? I don't have them so I can't check but the article for "Audience of One" for example lists Tim McIlrath, Joe Principe, Brandon Barnes and Zach Blair as writers.

Yes they do. I was able to find the album booklet for Appeal to Reason online, and on the second to last page in the booklet, it states "all songs written and performed by Rise Against". The same goes for their other albums and singles. However, it also states that lead vocalist Tim McIlrath was the sole lyricist. I figured that since it already stated that the band collectively wrote the music for each song, just list the band as the writer.

It's sufficient to only link writers and releases the first time they appear in the table.
refs #3 10, 35 and 36 are missing publishers.
You only need to link websites/magazines/publishers once within your references.

Done

ref #23: It's Amazon.co.uk and it needs an article link.

Done

ref #24: Kotaku should be in italics.

Done

ref #26: iTunes Store needs to be linked.

Done, I think. The references got shifted around after making a major edit.

It's advisable to add sort templates to the years column. For example, Nightmare Revisited was released before Appeal to Reason but if you sort the table by year, Appeal to Reason comes first because it comes first in the alphabet.

You should also add sortname templates to the writers column. If you sort the table by writers, they should be sorted by their last name.
Why did you decide not to include live performances? I think songs that were covered and released should be included.

I wasn't quite sure whether live performances counted as recorded songs. They were never recorded in a studio. For what its worth, I may be taking the title of this list too literally.

Song titles starting with "the" should be sorted by the second word in the title. You can use a sort template for that as well.

Done

Most featured lists of songs that I have seen indicate whether a song has been released as a single or promotional single. Why didn't you do that?

Done. I'm not sure why I didn't include singles and promotional singles, must have just slipped my mind.

That's it for now. Overall, I think you've done a great job with this list so far! Littlecarmen (talk) 06:45, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Littlecarmen: Thanks for the comments! I've responded to most of them, and will take care of the rest later. Famous Hobo (talk) 10:46, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
