Self nomination Yet another discog. Comprehensive and cited. Started on it when it was like this and added more detail and references. Thanks Tenacious D Fan (talk) 18:02, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments from Gary King (talk · contribs)

• Would it be better if Studio albums is renamed to Albums so that the link in the infobox for Studio albums works? Gary King (talk) 18:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

• Sorted. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 23:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments from WBOSITG (talk · contribs)

• Word only numbers less than ten.

• sorted

• Albums should be Bold Italic rather than just Italic.

• originally had it like that, but was undone. redid it.

• Countries should be in alphabetical order (but keep USA first as the home country)

• hnnngh. your right, i'll get onto it.

• References needed for the videos.

• done

• Perhaps an external links section would be appropriate?

• done

• Disambiguation pages are linked to in the videos section.

• not sure about this. is there still a problem?Tenacious D Fan (talk) 00:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

That's all I got now. Good work so far. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Neutral as I am unable to see the nomination to the end. Sorry. Hope my comments helped, though. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 05:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC) Comment mvdbase is not reliable, don't cite it. In fact, there isn't really a need to reference music videos as they are self referential. Also, check if the official website lists their videos, because mvdbase often passes off live videos and minor edits to a music video as different videos. The "Times Like These" entry is quite confusing as it is now (make it repeat on three different rows), any way, I think only one of those would official. The lead should be expanded; just by the length of the band's history, I'd say double the size of the lead. (Include chartings for the albums etc, overall sales is very important too) indopug (talk) 03:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I would say that the directors should be cited though. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 03:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Music video directors are conventionally credited at the beginning and end of a music video when a video is shown on music television. So it's nothing really disputable. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:46, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Solution to this is to remove all cites, as they are unreliable and not required. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

That might be true for music television in the US, but not in the UK, where the only identifiers is the title and artist. Anyway, it's no big deal. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 18:30, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)

• Avoid bold links in the lead per WP:LEAD#Bold title.

• Thanks. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• "Comprehensive" in the lead is redundant - it's either complete or it isn't (and if it isn't then it shouldn't be at FLC).

• True. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• "...solo material performed..." - released?

• Good point. Clarity. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• "...Grohl on all instrument..." - instruments?

• Done. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• "...guitar track from "X-Static"" - what does this mean?

• Hopefully made that clearer. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• The lead seems to focus heavily on personnel changes in the band rather than albums, singles, certifications etc.
• US not U.S. (as you have UK).

• Done. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• Remove spaces between text and references/notes.

• I think this has been dealt. I can't see any occurrences. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• I can't see note 2 anywhere...

• These notes are irrelevant. A previous user put them in. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• "(see above)" - yuck. "..as shown in the table..." perhaps?
• Note 1, second sentence, reads very strangely to me.

• Removed both notes as they are not authoritative. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• Ref 50 has redlink "Spin (magazine)/Spin" - is this what you want?

• Basic error. Sorry. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• I get one dead link - see this.

That's it from me. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• Fixed. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I have now correctly ordered all the charts following MoS. US (the home of the Foos) the all other countries (so as to be NPOV). Tenacious D Fan (talk) 19:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Support Looks good! Drewcifer (talk) 16:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - Leads needs expanding; only members going in and out of the band has been discussed not the success of the various releases. See Nirvana discography. indopug (talk) 19:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

You're completely right. I've done some work, and made the talk of line-up changes briefer, and added a considerable amount of discussion on album/single release chart performance. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 16:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
