After nominating the Ian Svenonius discography for FLC a few days ago, the consensus of the review was to split that article into a number of smaller articles. This is the first of those articles I've had a chance to work on. The article is only a few days old, but only because I copied the content from the other, much older and already copyedited, article. I am self-nominating the article based on it's adherence to MoS and its comphrensiveness of the topic. Any comments and advice are appreciated. Drewcifer3000 06:52, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Pre-emptive comment - Unlike the many other FL discographies, statistics like Chart Performance aren't necessary or possible, since the Make-Up were an independent band that never came close to any album/singles charts. Thanks! Drewcifer3000 07:32, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks about as well-referenced overall as it can be for a band as obscure as this. I'd advise using "Other" columns similar to the one used in the "Appearances on compilations" section to contain additional bullets like "Released only in Japan" or "Only official Make-Up release with Alex Minoff". You also may want to include a "B-sides" section, like several other featured discographies do. --Brandt Luke Zorn 11:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- diff Thanks for the ideas Brandt. I tried your idea about the "Other" columns, but it just looks kind of weird, namely because the majority of the entries don't have any "other" information to include. Take a look at the article yourself and tell me what you think. As for the B-side section, I'm not sure if I really see the point. Basically, I think that would mean taking the "Backed with" information out of the EPs, singles, and splits sections, putting them in their own section, and then referring back to the other singles. Giving the b-sides one little line in the singles section seems to me a much more elegant solution. Especially since every ep, single, and split has a b-side) 15 total), unlike Hillary Duff's discography, which only has one. But all of that is just my opinion, I'm definitely up to try anything out.

- Point taken regarding B-sides section - it was really more of a loose recommendation anyway. Is there any other relevant information that could be put in the "Other" column for the other releases? I agree that it does look a little weird as it is right now. Nonetheless, if no other information could be found to fill up the chart, I'd still prefer that you would not use a bulleted list like you originally did. Perhaps you could use {{ref}} tags? --Brandt Luke Zorn 23:12, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Looks great to me; thank you for taking the time to listen to my recommendations, and good luck with getting it featured. --Brandt Luke Zorn 05:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, although you would want to add which album the singles came from. Seems okay otherwise. Circeus 00:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the vote! And the singles didn't come from any album, they were only released as singles/eps/splits. Though they were all collected in I Want Some, but that's different. 00:28, 12 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewcifer3000 (talk • contribs)
