The discography really needs a ton of cleanup. I've been tweaking it some, but I need your help. Please consider the following criteria, which I think would make for a tidier discography.

• For every album that's stub class, add one of the the following tags, per the appropriate decade:

{{1980s-country-album-stub}}

{{1990s-country-album-stub}}

{{2000s-country-album-stub}}

• Each album page must have the infobox.
• The infobox must include the previous and next albums (unless there is no previous or next album).
• Each album page should be put under the following categories:

[[Category:George Strait albums]]

[[Category:(year) albums]]

• The individual album pages should not list the singles from that album, since we already have a singles table.

If anyone has any suggestions for other criteria, please add them to this talk page. TenPoundHammer 14:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I made sure that each album has an infobox, all infoboxes have the album cover, and all but Fresh Cut Christmas have the previous and next albums listed. That's all I've done so far. Karanacs 01:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion: We should also put in a See Also: George Strait Discography line. Karanacs 01:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I think putting in the See Also line is a good idea. TenPoundHammer 18:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Another couple things I thought of: Make sure that the "type" field in the infobox says either studio, live, greatest, box, whatever -- the typical album codes for such pages instead of "album", "studio album" or whatever. I would also recommend putting slashes between each writer name, because names can sometimes contain commas (like "John Doe, Jr.").

[edit] Number ones

Instead of the footnotes, should we make a table delineating which songs hit #1 on which charts? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Actions • Words)))} 19:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

That could make the page be awfully long and harder to read. How do other artist pages handle this? Karanacs 21:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I mean, make a table on a new page. George is notable for the record-breaking number of #1's, but that figure is disputed heavily, so maybe making a new table at George Strait's number-one singles might help? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Actions • Words)))} 01:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mediabase vs. R&R

I think I've found a good way to settle the R&R/Mediabase issue. Between 1985 and 2006, R&R and Mediabase were the same; but now, R&R is the same as Billboard, and Mediabase is now the "other" chart. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 19:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
