Nominator(s): — Maile (talk) 20:08, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it is part of a series of articles on Audie Murphy I'd like to nominate for Good Topic and Featured Topic. Audie Murphy honors and awards is already a FL. The main article is GA and currently at FAC FA. Film career of Audie Murphy and Military career of Audie Murphy are both GA. — Maile (talk) 20:08, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the standard format for discography-article titles is "X discography", rather than "Discography of X". See here. The article should be moved to Audie Murphy discography.—indopug (talk) 10:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Murphy didn't record these songs; it should rather be moved to List of songs recorded by Audie Murphy, in line with other articles. Adabow (talk) 10:25, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes, but I think you mean List of songs written by Audie Murphy?—indopug (talk) 10:49, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, yes. Adabow (talk) 21:39, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Two points: (1) The main article Audie Murphy just achieved FA status; (2) I'm not opposed to moving the article one direction or another. But experience tells me that everybody has an opinion on things like this. And the very real possibility exists that if we move it now, someone else is going to post here and insist a move to something else. If a move is necessary, let's do it at the end of this review, giving time for anyone else who thinks otherwise. I respect your opinions and experience on this issue. However "Discography of Audie Murphy" was not chosen by me, and was suggested at the main article talk page by someone else who has experience in this area. — Maile (talk) 14:08, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also feel that List of songs written by Audie Murphy is the correct name for this article. But yes, a WP:RM would be better. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 08:54, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I can move it myself, and will do so at the end of this review. Just want to give everyone a chance to weigh in on this. In the meantime, the review needs to proceed. — Maile (talk) 12:53, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Since you have made this a sortable list you need to make sure everything sorts correctly. Song titles that begin with "A", "An", or "The" should sort by the second word in the title. People should be sorted by their last names. See Template:Sort and Template:Sortname.
Facepalm Facepalm Done. And I've done this for enough lists for women's halls of fame that I shouldn't have overlooked this. — Maile (talk) 22:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, I think that the title of this article should be "List of songs written by Audie Murphy" rather than "Discography of Audie Murphy".
OK. We can do this before this nomination closes. Just want to make sure there aren't any strong objections to the move. — Maile (talk) 22:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The title of the Charley Pride album should be in italics.
Done. — Maile (talk) 22:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many of the musical artists listed could be linked. Jimknut (talk) 18:38, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done.— Maile (talk) 22:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support — looks good. Jimknut (talk) 21:21, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - with a couple caveats

  • I find it a bit odd that you just launch in with "Audie Murphy was a collaborator on several songs between 1962 and 1970", without taking half a sentence to tell the reader who Audie Murphy was, just something that he was also an actor and a decorated soldier in WW2.
I expanded. Thanks for mentioning. Sometimes I forget not everybody knows who he was. — Maile (talk) 19:37, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Audie Murphy:American Soldier" - space after the colon? Although, in the references you use a comma-space instead
Good catch. The comma is how the book is actually titled, so I changed the colon to a comma. — Maile (talk) 19:37, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Camp and Canyon Music assigned to Vogue Music Inc. 1966" - might be a bit more readable as "Camp and Canyon Music; assigned to Vogue Music Inc. in 1966"
Done, per your suggestion. — Maile (talk) 19:37, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the support PresN — Maile (talk) 19:37, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*"Audie Murphy" should not be bolded in the first line – it's only entire titles that are.
Done. — Maile (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "(20 June 1925 – 28 May 1971)": I think I'm right in saying we don't need the full dates here as it's not his main article: the year range will do just fine.
Done. — Maile (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "One of his most known poems" -> "One of his better-known poems" would be better
Done. — Maile (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "top hit churned out by Murphy": is "churned out" encyclopaedic language?
Changed to "written by". — Maile (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Twelve of their songs were written by just Murphy and Turner. However, others also worked with them at times." -> "Twelve of their songs were written by just Murphy and Turner, although others also worked with them at times."
Done. — Maile (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "has recently added a 46th film, Rock 'Em Cowboy in 1958": this reads as recently in 1958. Prob best to do Rock 'Em Cowboy (1958)
Done. — Maile (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Footnotes 8 & 18 should be pp., not p.
Done. — Maile (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
