DragonForce discography

edit

I'm submitting the discography for DragonForce, I'm pretty sure its all there and done. Any issues will be speedily resolved. — Balthazar (T|C) 00:33, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Use double quotes; so "of 'DragonHeart' in" → "of "DragonHeart" in"; same goes for the other ones. Gary King (talk) 04:45, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a few suggestions:

  • Inline citations need to be added for the US Heatseekers and Indy charts
  • As DragonForce is an English band the dates should be arranged in the European style (example [[1 January]] [[2008]])
    • Green tickY Done, but I was under the impression that this was unnecessary as its always displayed as "25 February 2003", for me at least, no matter what the code layout is. — Balthazar (T|C) 15:52, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead should be expanded. See: The Strokes discography or Sonic Youth discography -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 03:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Expand the lead somewhat
    • Expanded ever-so-slightly, there isn't that much that can be said about 4 albums and 3 singles, I could still add a part on "Fury of the Storm" and specific chartings for Inhuman Rampage and "Through the Fire and Flames" but that's about it. Would that be enough? — Balthazar (T|C) 19:44, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first sentence of the second paragraph of the lead is waay too long.
  • Refs needed for US Heat and Indie (which I'm pretty sure is the correct abbreviation, rather than "Indy")
  • I'd not be unhappy to see the Billboard Comprehensive Album Chart gone, because the only way to see it is through a paid subscription to the website.
    • Thats just too see its full listing in one page the list I referenced has all the same info but spread across its weekly entries. — Balthazar (T|C) 15:52, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd also remove the three digital charts from the singles information.
  • If you do keep them though, the size of their names in the table headers needs to be bigger, per WP:ACCESS. You've got <small>, then <sup> which is really hard to read for those with good vision

I'm little perplexed as to how little information is contained in the tables. Look at all of the blanks, and the one-item table. This looks like a topic that's awkwardly forced into list format just to get a bronze star. TONY (talk) 09:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They're not blanks, they just didn't chart, and Valley of the Damned – Remixed & Remastered and Ultra Beatdown have yet to be released. — Balthazar (T|C) 15:52, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If they're yet to be released, they shouldn't be in a discography. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 16:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They have been hidden. — Balthazar (T|C) 19:44, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Short and sweet. Job well done! Drewcifer (talk) 01:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC) Reluctant oppose Didn't realize it was only nine items, so I guess I have to undo my support. I've supported the 10-item rule of thumb in the past, so I should stick to my word. However, I do hope to see the list resubmitted once that 10th item is released. Drewcifer (talk) 04:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved stuff from Drewcifer

Comments Looks pretty good so far. I only have a few suggestions:

  • Since there's only on certification in the Studio albums table, I'd recommend putting the citation along side the certification itself, not in the header. Also, BPI should be changed to UK (but should still link to the BPI).
  • The infobox specifies that Valley of the Damned is a demo, but the actual table does not. I suggest adding a note in the table. Also, I think the note about Dragonheart should be in the same not (and therefore not in small font). Also, to differentiate between the demo and the album, it might be good to have "(Demo)" after the demo's title (where the dragonheart note currently is).
  • This is kind of a new addition to MOS:DISCOG (this is the first FLC I've suggested it at, but the certification column header should also link to List of music recording sales certifications. See The Prodigy discography for an example of what I mean.
  • "Billboard" is not consistently italicized in the citations. Drewcifer (talk) 06:21, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant Oppose. Recent discussion at The FLC talk page suggested a List with so few entries be merged into the main article, or at least wouldn't become Featured. I tend to agree, even though it satisfies the rest of the criteria. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 17:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Would it be long enough when the fourth album is added to it, in August? as it would be 10 items then. — Balthazar (T|C) 16:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yeah, that would work. I'd prefer to see it higher than ten myself, but that's the agreed-upon base limit. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:32, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • What happens until that time then? — Balthazar (T|C) 10:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • If the community believe that's required for FL status then this FLC should be withdrawn and resubmitted at the appropriate time when the next album is released. Let me know. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
