Bruce Dickinson discography[edit]

Nominator(s): Rockk3r Spit it Out!

Featured list candidates/Bruce Dickinson discography/archive1

I am nominating this for featured list because, in my opinion, it meets the FL criteria. The lead gives a quick overview of the whole article (from main albums to singles, videos, compilations etc.). Rockk3r Spit it Out! 20:16, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comments~~

In 1979, after playing in some local groups, he joined hard rock band, Samson, where he gained some fame - overuse of the word "some".

In July 1991 was released Dive! Dive! Live!, a live video recorded from a concert in Los Angeles, California, on August 1990. - This sentence is incomplete, unless I'm missing something.

In 2006 was released the compilation DVD, Anthology, which contained three live performances, all the music videos, and over an hour of extras. - Same with above.

Released as a double-disc set. The first CD was recorded live in the studio, and the second one at the Marquee Club[23] The album peaked at #96 in the UK. - Punctuation is missing here.

Also, consistency within the accessdates should be checked; for example, some are in the "YYYY-MM-DD" format, while others use the "DD-month-YYYY" format. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- All Done I fixed all the mistakes found. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 23:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks good, thanks. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 00:45, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose due to a lack of cowbell. What makes "Book of Hours" a reliable source? -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 21:01, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Book of Hours page cites their sources, so it's most likely reliable (I was wondering the same). –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

In 1979, after playing in some local groups, he joined hard rock band, Samson, where he rose to fame; but departed two years later to become Iron Maiden's lead vocalist. -- Remove the comma before Samson

Despite reaching the top 30 in many countries, the album was "somewhat of a disappointment", which failed to "come up with anything truly groundbreaking", except for "Tears of the Dragon"—released as single, along with "Shoot All the Clowns". -- add a before single

Tribe of Gypsies departed to continue with their work and Dickinson tracked down a new band, with whom was released the double-disc live performance, Alive in Studio A. -- no need for the was

In 1996 was released the third album, Skunkworks, which marked a "highly approved stylistic shift." -- comma after 1996, and the beginning needs rewording because it makes no sense

From a concert in Spain, were recorded both, an EP and a live video,—released only in Japan—under the name Skunkworks Live. -- this also makes no sense

The next year was released a semi-concept album on alchemy, The Chemical Wedding, described as a "modern metal aesthetic". -- the next year was released make no sense

In late 2001, was released a "best of…" album, which included rarities and two new songs, "Broken"—released as single—and "Silver Wings". -- ___(what?) was released?

On May 23, 2005, Dickinson released his first in seven years, Tyranny of Souls—which included the single "Abduction". -- his first (what?)

~~Live/compilation/video albums/box sets~~

~~The notes are not complete sentences, and as a result do not warrant full stops~~

Singles

Does the general ref verify those singles that did not chart?

The fact that they didn't chart doesn't mean they weren't released. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 04:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but what is verifying their existence?--Tru co 13:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Man of Sorrows" and "Killing Floor" were Japanese release only, therefore they couldn't chart. Now I'm looking for the other two. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 15:56, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But what verifies those Japanese's tracks existence? --Tru co 18:18, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Killing Floor" - reference here in allmusic. Aciddent of Birth's cover was created by Derek Riggs, who also created the "Man of Sorrows" single cover. see here Rockk3r Spit it Out! 04:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the two singles that had no reference. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 19:22, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
