Diamond Rio discography edit

I have been working on this article for a few days now. After getting comments and suggestions from Jennavecia, TenPoundHammer, and Matthewedwards, I (and they) believe that it is FL worthy. I worked on this article to supplement the article Diamond Rio, which is a GA. Xclamation point 00:20, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • All charts need to be referenced by a reliable source
The Canadian Country chart needs to be referenced. And references should be added for the US charts in the compilations section. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 05:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
fixed Xclamation point 23:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can the US references be more specific? -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 21:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think I fixed them. Xclamation point 22:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The publisher is missing from most of the references
Why is Billboard in italics in some placed but not others? It's a magazine so it should be in italics. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 05:50, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed again. Xclamation point 17:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Guest contributions → Other appearances
  • U.S. → US
  • Add catalog numbers for the albums
  • Anymore information on Can't You Tell?
  • The link in the infobox for compilations doesn't take the reader down to the section
  • The other appearances section should be referenced as well
  • Please provide direct links to the music video directors. See Cannibaloki's comment below. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 05:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still would like to see direct links to the music video directors, but everything else looks good. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 02:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Chart Positions to Peak chart positions
  • US Country and US, should be US and US country;
  • The references to the Canadian charts does not lead me to anywhere! You have to make reference to each position.
  • "In God We Still Trust" > Failed to chart (Yes, I saw the empty space (—) in the table!)
  • "One More Day" also peaked at #6 on U.S. Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks.
    • These two notes are removing the beauty of the table (if it have any)
    • fixed Xclamation point 02:41, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Guest contributions or Other appearances?
    • "The following table denotes other contributions made by Diamond Rio for various compilation albums that were not directly related to the band." (Sorry, but I not understand this section)
    • The peak position in this section is useless!
  • Oppose – I think this discography was not yet ready for an FLC. See MOS:DISCOG, for now is only...

Otherwise sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:46, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no information on Can't You Tell (should it be removed since it wasn't released?), and the band has never released a VHS/DVD compo. I did add a list of the music videos according to CMT and removed the LP Discography source.

I would remove Can't You Tell from the article. The discography should only contain released albums, etc. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 22:02, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support – I made few changes, looks a bit better. Cannibaloki 05:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved issues, Dabomb87 (talk)

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • Can you mention the band members' names and instruments in the first paragraph of the lead?
  • "Counting "Meet in the Middle""-->Including "Meet in the Middle"...
  • "Diamond Rio has charted a total of thirty-three singles"
  • "These latter three all charted"
  • "Two of their studio albums (1991's self-titled debut and 1994's Love a Little Stronger) have been certified platinum by the RIAA, while six have been certified gold." "while"-->and.
  • "They have also issued two greatest hits packages, with 1997's "Greatest Hits" package having also been certified platinum."-->They have also issued two greatest hits packages; the "Greatest Hits" (1997) package was certified platinum.
  • "Top Ten 10" Typo?
  • Spell out what RIAA stands for on its first occurence.
  • Refs 5 and 9 needs a publisher.
  • What are you referencing the information about the Adult Contemporary Charts to?
  • "Diamond Rio has also recorded nine studio albums, including one (2004's Can't You Tell) which was never released." Needs source. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Looks good. I don't see any obvious problems here. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:04, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Resolved review by SRX [TRUco]
    Comments
    • Founded in 1984, Diamond Rio released their debut album in 1991. - which is what? where is the wikilink or name?
    • Instead of a ? for the unknown mv director, how about spell out unknown.
    • There is no source verifying their appearance in 2002, in the appearance section.

    1. Carrie Underwood discography is a good example. I've worked on it before.
    2. Change it back! Country charts should be in the first column (or before the Hot 100 chart). They are country artists and other discographies all put country chart first.
    3. I've fixed some reference, because one simple reference can replace many unuseful ones.
    4. Any problem with AC charts? It should be notes only.
    5. I've made comments on the talk pages also.

    • comments. The album / compilation tables look very squat, with all that info piled into the one "release" box for each. can't some (or all) of that be seperated into seperate columns, eg. a column for release date and others. Then boxes would not look so vertically streched and wouldn't have to have "release date" written out each time. That's exactly what a table is good for! Would weak oppose now, based on layout, but would support if more columns added to those tables.Yobmod (talk) 21:47, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Ja, but i don't think a proposed guideline should be reason to feature ugly lists. The guideline makes sense for tables that have a lot of chart results, so would be difficult to fit more columns into. In this case it would be senseless to force a (proposed) guideline to the detriment of an article. The AIR disclaimer on the page notwithstanding, the Discog guys seem more interested in creating one-size-fits-all rules, with no recognition that different artists have different outputs, so need different lists. Still opposing on style grounds.Yobmod (talk) 15:39, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Support, with a few small notes:

    • Why the small font for the info in the album column? Since it's bullet-pointed, the small font doesn't actually make the space any smaller, just the words harder to read.
    • "which was a #2 on the country charts" weird passive voice. What about "which peaked at #2 on the country charts." Also, which country charts?
    Other than that, looks great. Drewcifer (talk) 01:45, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
