Róisín Murphy discography

Self-nomination: This discography covers all the solo released by Irish singer-songwriter Róisín Murphy. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 03:35, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Support Looks good! Drewcifer (talk) 22:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Resolved stuff from Drewcifer

Comments Looks very good. A few comments:

• Why is that the Live albums and EPs tables are completely different style then the other tables? Choose one and stick with it.
• I believe there is a growing consensus against including B-sides, since this is a discography not a songography. I would also argue similarly for the unreleased songs section, but there's not consensus for that one, so do as you will there.
• Any certifications?
• The live albums notes need citations/sources.
• I don't think the Reference column is needed in the misc. table. Why not put them in the song column?
• Maybe a discogs link in the External links section would be good? Drewcifer (talk) 10:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I have added your suggestions into the article. Murphy has not received any music certifications. There are claims that Overpowered was certified gold in Belgium, but I cannot find a reliable source to back it up. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 01:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Good start. There's still the issue of the B-sides and the unreleased songs. Also, why is there chart columns in the Live albums table? None of them charted anywhere. Also, it would be good to keep similar columns in similar tables kept a consistent width (ie. "Title" columns, "Album" columns, "Notes" etc). For the sake of consistency, I would say the notes in the EPs section should mimick the style of the live albums. Drewcifer (talk) 04:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

PS why'd you get rid of the references in the Misc. table?! They were good! My suggestions was to just get rid of the column and move the references to another column, not get rid of the whole thing. Drewcifer (talk) 05:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

OK. I did a bit of tidying. Hopefully I've gotten everything this time. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

A few more minor suggestions: it would be good to see similar columns between tables to be the same width (by using

Comment

• Why are repetitions of guest singles in the misc. section? That's redundancy.
• If the # of B-sides is less like here, I'm all for keeping the table there.
• Make the width of the Title columns of the studio albums, live albums, and EPs the same. Similarly for Singles, b-sides and videos. indopug (talk) 16:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

This may sound stupid, but I'm a bit confused on what you mean by column width. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• Do not wikilink the bold title, per WP:LS#Bold title
• Is ""—" denotes releases that did not chart." necessary for the albums? The — is not actually used in the table
• No album chart position in Ireland? That's surprising
• Any ideas which localised version of iTunes iTunes Live: London Sessions was released to?
• Any information on the markets Live At Ancienne Belgique 19.11.07 was released to?
• Again, that she has no singles chart positions in her home country is surprising. Can this be checked?
• Move "Feel Up" by "Spook" to the Guest singles section, and remove the entire Miscellaneous section

That's all I got

I have checked everywhere and she has not charted in Ireland. As for Live At Ancienne Belgique 19.11.07 album, it was available to order all over the world as anyone from anywhere could purchase it online from Concert Live. iTunes Live: London Sessions was released to iTunes stores in Europe. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 03:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you should say that, re iTunes, and wikilink or link to Concert Live -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 05:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Added your comments into the section. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 16:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Further Since this an article about an Irish singer, the dates should be as [[1 January]] [[2008]]. This is important to do for IP/non-account users who view the date the same way it is typed. The album column in featured singles is unnecessary, remove it and move the refs to beside the singles. The notes in the EPs can be removed and the info (no need of ref) moved to a bullet point below Label --> "Format: limited edition vinyl". Remove the <small> tags for catalogue numbers. Bold the main releases names of albums, EPs, and live albums. Make Studio albums, Live albums and featured singles separate sections. indopug (talk) 10:05, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I have added your suggestions into the article. Except for about separate sections for the albums and singles. Other discographies do not split the different types of album releases into different sections (see Depeche Mode discography, Aesop Rock discography and Silverchair discography just to name a few). -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 02:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Expand the lead please, at least list every chart position the albums got. Also the wording is every awkward as of now, and could use a rewrite. "Murphy's first solo recordings...Moloko was known with jazz and pop styles." can be significantly simplified, for example. indopug (talk)

I have expanded the lead to include album chart positions and hopefully it doesn't sound awkward anymore. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 16:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

The date formats are wrong. (see my comment above) indopug (talk) 22:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
