[edit] Videography

Added contents of the Linkin Park page for starters, though I'd recommend a separate disography page for each of the side-projects etc. It would make this page less cluttered IainP (talk) 13:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Meteora Certification

Meteora's certification is being repeatedly changed. A while ago it was 6x platinum, then it was changed to 8x, then back to 6x, and now it's at 4x. Can someone please provide proof (ie a source) that these changes aren't just being made because someone likes the sound of the numbers? --Benjamin Sheffield (talk) 22:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I keep seeing this crap too. There's a source cited (the RIAA database) which has it at 4x Platinum. Since that's the figure at the cited website and since the RIAA is the only organization that does album certifications in America, any other certification level posted is false. This happens on all kinds of webpages for bands - teenagers posting false certifications to big up their favorite groups, I guess. It's ridiculous. I'm reverting "Meteora" to 4x Platinum, which is the actual figure as given in the citation. Please don't change it - this is not a fan site, and even if it were you don't just make up numbers. Grow up, people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.189.246.215 (talk) 04:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hybrid Theory

10x Platinum? Wouldn't this mean it was 1x Diamond? See RIAA certification. -VJ 02:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


-Yeah, just Diamond. --James599 11:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Linkin Park- Underground Attack

I've heard of this CD, i looked into google images and it appears to be an album full of remixed songs, in response to the september 11 attacks... anyone else know anything about this mysterious album?


Linkin Park: Project Revolution (not the concert - the album) is a little known 2004 remix album. I feel it needs to be listed on here. Here is a site with the album cover and track listing: http://www.supermusic.sk/album.php?idalbumu=34423&idskupiny=2292 -anonymous

That CD was not released by the band, and therefore does not need a mention. --SayCheese 17:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slash

The Wikipedia Manual of Style tells us that words are preferred over slash because the meaning of slash is ambiguous. I've edited this article to help it conform to the manual of style; certainly, a three-letter word is not hard to read. It also makes the meaning clear; a slash doesn't let us know if the group is alternatively categorized in only one genre then the other, or simultaneously in both. Converting the slash to "and" is a step towards writing a more complete, more readable article. And it meets our article style guidelines. -- Mikeblas 19:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's true, but only in your opinion, and only about Linkin Park. Why does the thing you have said above not appear in other articles? Egr, 7/7/2006
Actually, since it's a matter of policy in the Manual of Style, it's far beyond just my opinion.
I fix 'em as I find 'em. With 1.2-something million articles, it'll take a while to cover everything. Search my contribs page for "slashectomy" if you'd like to easily find other articles that I've edited to comply; many others aren't so marked as I made the change as a part of other copyediting.
Meanwhile, I'm not sure why removing information from the article is the right solution. You might try expanding the text; "primarily nu metal with rapcore influences", or whatever fits, so it more accurately describes the band's music. -- Mikeblas 19:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing information

Did someone remove "Frgt/10" from the singles? I can't seem to find it. The cover image of "Lying From You" is also missing. Michaelas10 (T|C) 21:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Lying From You is a radio airplay-only single. For these singles, you won't find a cover at all.Maplejet 18:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Runaway

This song was most likely a single as well (radio airplay only). If it's getting tons of airplay on the rock radio station here, then it should be included. Maplejet 18:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

The song is most likely not a single period. How can you justify a song being played off the radio as being a single, lots of radio stations play songs from albums that are not released as singles. also the fact that you said this in the year 2007 (7 years after the album which contains the song was released) makes me chuckle some and then some more Cryo enix 20:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's a radio-only single instead like Lying From You was. There are often such singles by bands that are released in that fashion.Maplejet 23:44, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singles Table

I don't know what the hell has gone on but someone has replaced the "Pts.Of.Athrty/H! Vltg3" single with "Points of Authority" from Hybrid theory which was only ever a promotional video. Also the fact that "In The End" was released after "Papercut" has promted me to change these errors Cryo enix 20:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Format of page

Why was the format of this page so drastically changed? Looking back at an earlier version, the gallery tables used for the albums/singles looked much better. Anyone else agree? Dmiles21 03:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I do.

[edit] DVDs

There are no DVDs in this article, although there should be

Why? there already is a seperate videography section.JonathonDavisthe3rd (talk) 15:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inject This Into My Griddle Folds (Deep Recesses) ????

Wtf is with this? Google gives no results, there's no article, and no one ever heard of this dvd... so, PLEASE check your information people...

[edit] Bleed It Out

the page indicates that the single is to be released Augest 20th but the track is already recieving airplay in the Tampa Bay area.

Yea this is getting airplay, and has already had a music video released... I'm fairly certain that you could say that the release date for this single has already come and gone...

[edit] ft. Busta Rhymes

It is unknown yet if it will be the whole group, just Mike, or just Chester, but they will be featured in a song on Busta Rhymes upcoming album set to release December 4, 2007 called Back on My BS. The song is called "It Looks Like We Made It". It is credited as Linkin Park, but it is still unknown as to who from the band is featured or if it is going to be the entire band.

Well, today it's December 4, and the album hasn't been released, I guess. On the Back on My BS stands it will be released in 2008, how?

[edit] BPI

Shouldn't it say that the album was certified 4x platinium in the UK. Have proof her [1] --Wellwater Conspiracy (talk) 14:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Live Tour Albums

During every live show, Linkin Park sells a "digi-pack", which contains the show of that night in 320kbps mp3 format, So actually, Linkin Park has probably hundred live albums. 81.70.35.12 (talk) 19:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Numb/Encore

I was looking on Billboard and I noticed that they had Numb/Encore at #94 on the Hot R&B/ Hip Hop songs in 2004. Should we mention it on the table? 67.62.34.236 (talk) 00:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 10,000,000

They crossed the line... http://www.mikeshinoda.com/blog/Linkin_Park/hybrid_theory__minutes_to_midnight RichV (talk) 21:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
