List of songs recorded by Oh Land edit

Nominator(s): Carbrera (talk) 23:23, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I am sure that it meets the required criteria for all featured lists. It is detailed, comprehensive, and provides a complete overview of the very talented singer's discography. All help is and would be appreciated. Thank you!

Change “had” to “has” in the first sentence.

Done

This is just my own preference, but would suggest changing the first sentence to something similar to that used in List of songs recorded by Miley Cyrus. The dependent clause does not seem that necessary and breaks up the flow. I would revise it to say “Danish singer-songwriter Oh Land had recorded material for four studio albums, X soundtrack albums, and guest features” to keep it short and sweet.

Done

I think you should break up the second sentence of the first paragraph into two. It might just be me, but the long dependent clause about Fauna sounds a little awkward to me, and may benefit by just being its own sentence. Plus, the sentence is pretty long and places more emphasis on the second album when the article should have a fair coverage of all of her songs.

Done

What do you mean by “and featured contributions from a variety of musicians” as when I look at the album’s page, I do not see any features so what kind of contributions do you mean?

Done

The lead appears to have a lot of focus on the second album, and I was wondering what led to this decision. I understand if this is her only successful album or her only album that had successful singles, but I just wanted to point this out to you.

The most information is available for this album, and like you pointed out, it is her most successful album. :) Carbrera (talk) 21:56, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would avoid language like “most recent album” as the artist may release more albums in the future, and it is somewhat unnecessarily repetitive as the album’s release date says that by itself.

Done

You mention in the first sentence that this artist has recorded material for soundtracks, but you do not discuss this in the lead. Make sure to list this in the second paragraph either before or after the sentences about the guest features to avoid confusion.

Done

Is there a reason why you added a citation for Trespassers, but not for The Paper Cut Chronicles II. Also the sentence about Earth Sick needs a citation.

Done

@Carbrera: Great job with the list! I have actually never heard of this singer before so it is cool to learn about something new. My comments primarily deal with the lead, as I did not notice any problems with the list itself. I just provided suggestion for stylistic improvements and revisions that you may find beneficial. Feel free to ask me if you need clarification on any of my comments. I will support this once my review is addressed. Aoba47 (talk) 04:22, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: Sorry about the delay! I'm all done now; thanks so much. Carbrera (talk) 21:56, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Carbrera: I apologize for the delay in my response. I can now support this nomination. Aoba47 (talk) 22:00, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"After independently issuing and solely writing Fauna in 2008 with Fake Diamond Records" -> "After solely writing and independently issuing Fauna in 2008 with Fake Diamond Records".

Done

"The latter record explored ..." I would prefer "Oh Land explored..."

Done

Link "certified" appropriately to an article relating to record sales certification, particularly as the milestones differ wildly from country to country.

Done

Categorised as "Lists of songs by American recording artists" but the lead clearly states she's Danish...

Done
