Metallica discography[edit]

previous FLC (21:24, 15 April 2008)

Alright, lets try again! I rewrote the lead in the time between the last nom and now. Again, I am welcome to any construtive criticism. There was a couple of comments on the previous FLC that did not have a conclusion, so if you would like to bring them up again, go for it. Thanks, Burningclean [speak] 20:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)
  • Avoid bold links in the lead per WP:LEAD#Bold title.
  • "comprehensive" seems redundant to me. It's either the discography or not.
    • I don't think I've seen any FL discographies withouth "comprehensive" in the lead sentence.
      • The Breeders, Carrie Underwood, The Corrs, Dave Gahan, Depeche Mode (to name but five up to those starting with D).... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image caption doesn't need a full stop.
  • "on a two year to in" tour?
  • Misc and music video sections are uncited.
    • They don't need to be. Burningclean [speak] 16:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • According to whom? Citations should be provided for material which could be contentious. Is there something in the article which references the content of these two sections? How do I know you haven't made it up in other words...! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • On every previous discography I've worked on it was suggested that it doesn't need to be sourced. The musi videos and CDs cite themselves. Only material that could potentialy be argued should be sourced. Burningclean [speak] 16:19, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well I guess that's what I'm doing, arguing about the material. Not to worry, if that's a project-wide approach then so be it. Other featured content I've worked on usually demands higher standards than that. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • That's alright. Don't you think that Cds and DVD cite themsleves though? Burningclean [speak] 16:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Otherwise excellent work. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:19, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - major concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:42, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I've copyedited the lead twice, so I'm a contributor I guess. I would like to see citations for music video directors, stuff like that can be argued...but it's not a *must*. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 01:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The only two sources are MVDbace (unreliable) and The Videos: 1989-2005 (first party) Burningclean [speak] 03:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Put Some Kind of Monster in the EPs section, because that's what it is. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:02, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Done. Burningclean [speak] 18:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There is a statement about selling 100 million albums worldwide but the citation only says 85 million. And, it's a self-ref to boot. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 00:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Check the Album column in the misc. section: Most of those need "soundtrack" along with the movie name. Otherwise its quite confusing; Shoot 'Em Up links to the movie etc. Also I don't understand the Darwin Awards link. And The Videos: 1989-2005 is fine as a source to refer the directors. indopug (talk) 04:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Try to keep it all in one line. Link "soundtrack" to the soundtrack article, if available. indopug (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Looks great, awesome work! ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 23:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Matthew

Comments

  • This is the English speaking Wikipedia, as such I'd prefer to see NZ's chart position column next to other English speaking countries at the beginning of the table, re-arrange them in alphabetical order (keeping US first as it's the band's home country), and arrange the non-English speaking countries in alphabetical order after that.
  • Did the live albums not chart in the US? I think it might be important to note that as they're an American band
    • They didn't chart.
  • Some prose to indtroduce Miscellaneous wouldn't go amiss. What are these tracks? Non-album tracks that appeared on compilation albums? Movie or video game soundtracks? Perhaps a notes or comments column would help also
  • Can the directors of music videos be referenced?
    • Alright.
  • Not important, really, but perhaps change the title of the section "Videos" to something else, as most are DVDs, and are likely not to be "videos" in the future
    • The majority of them were released on VHS and later re-released on DVD. Burningclean [speak] 19:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's all I got. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 04:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral as I am unable to see this nom to the end. Sorry. Hope my comments were helpful though. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 05:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
