Nominator(s): AtomicMarcusKitten (talk) 17:32, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I've done lots of work to improve it and I think it meets the criteria and is up to a high standard.AtomicMarcusKitten (talk) 17:32, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment—no dab links, no dead external links. Ucucha 18:17, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I've only done a quick check of references, so this isn't anything thorough about the list itself. I'll try to come back at a later date and do a better review.
What makes Amazon a reliable source? Is their content verified by its staff?
Reference 15 cites the German Wikipedia at a mirror site.
What makes mvdbase.com as seen in reference 16 reliable?
What makes clipland.com as seen in reference 17 reliable? Nomader ^(Talk) 20:51, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Have Nomader's concerns been addressed? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I've added references to their DVD "the best of no angels" which states all of their video directors from the years of 2001-2003, and the CD "destiny reloaded" which states the directors for the videos from the years of 2007-2008. I also have "welcome to the dance" which states that Ole Zieseman is the director of "One Life", however, you never said anything was wrong with that source.

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 17:12, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

No bold links per WP:MOSBOLD please.
"best selling" hyphenate.
Ref 1 looks German to me, so please use language= parameter. And what makes it reliable?
Link "certified" to something appropriate.
"including Eurythmics cover" -> "including a cover of Eurythmics'"..
"Second album," Perhaps "The band's second album" or "Their second album"...
I think there's a good link to greatest hits somewhere on Wikipedia.
preceders -> predecessors?
General: Get a native English speaker to copyedit the lead please.
Is it "Something about Us" or "Something About Us"?
And Now ... Us! has a space before and after the ellipsis.
Where are "Colour Collection" and "Very Best of No Angels" referenced since they didn't chart anywhere?
Box set isn't referenced.
"Mousse T" is "Mousse T."
Video albums isn't referenced.
Last "other appearance" isn't referenced.
Ref 20 -> german ->German.

I can do all of this tomorrow, as I'm busy right now, honest! And "Now... Us!" actually doesn't have a space between the "now" and ellipsis. I have the CD, and their website also says "Now... Us!". Furthermore, I am a native speaker of English, so i don't know if that was an insult or something. Haha AtomicMarcusKitten (talk) 18:24, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, good news. One the "Now ... Us!" matter, our own article begs to differ with your opinion, we need to fix the discrepancy. As for native English, my apologies, no insult intended, I just think the lead could use a good copyedit from, perhaps, an uninvolved party. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does need fixing :) and haha, ok. AtomicMarcusKitten (talk) 18:32, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've done most of it now, but i had to remove "a little better everyday" from other appearances, and "No angels" from video albums, as i couldn't find any reliable sources AtomicMarcusKitten (talk) 22:15, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - User:AtomicMarcusKitten, the nominator, has been blocked indefinitely. Another user may wish to address any further comments. –Chase (talk) 20:39, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I left a comment regarding his blockage on the Discography WikiProject talk page. Ref 6, 26 needs a language parameter. Ref 17, 22 has no publisher. Not sure what the policy is but Ref 8 requires me to register to get the info. Afro (Talk) 07:22, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Registration-required websites are generally allowed as long as the site is a reliable source. It's similar to an offline - often accepted in good faith. –Chase (talk) 12:35, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Since no real work has been done in a week on the list I'm gonna oppose this FLC. Afro (Talk) 14:23, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fail, since the time of nomination the manual of style for wikipedia has changed and now includes WP:ACCESS. To meet the new standards all discographies must meet the new approved standards at WP:DISCOGSTYLE. And considering that FLs are supposed to examplify the best work on wikipedia this list article fails the new MoS guidelines. I'm point this out on every candidate so please don't feel that I'm singling any thing out in particular.-- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 18:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
