Nominator(s): TGilmour (talk) 05:20, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I recently finished working on this article and I'm sure it is of FL quality. I wasn't able to ask the pirmary contributors because all of them are retired. TGilmour (talk) 05:20, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

;Comments from Legolas2186 In the infobox, you have a listing for B-sides, which doesnot lead to anywhere in the article. removed the opening line doesnot mention anything about the music video, video albums and compilations. There are mismatching counts. added in the first paragraph Studio albums table, You need to indicate somehow the difference between the two Belgium lists. Certifications and sales thresholds both link to the same article now, List of music recording certifications. I would recommend remove the sales thresholds part completely as has been norm now. added walonia and flanders; removed sales thresholds; removed overlinking No certifications for any of the song considering the popularity of Radiohead in UK? no, there are no File:Radiohead.jpg looks too small. Why not a top-to-bottom arrangement of the band members? That way the image appers bigger also. Well, I think that's because there are five members, and a "2 at the top, 1 in the middle and 2 at the bottom" format would have too much space in the center. Alt text is needed. there is I don't think the lead is sufficient enough at all. It simply jumps from albums 1–6 t oalbum 7, without any commentary of their singles, the videos, the EPs etc. And award lists are not related to this article at all. I removed the third paragraph completely; will do the rest later added prose to lead For the RPM peaks you need to individually link the urls for each peak. Use WP:CITEKILL to make them one reference. See how its done for Mariah Carey singles discography. I've added in-line refs for those who weren't listed in Allmusic. I can not find that "2 + 2 = 5" peaked at number 2 and "Nude" at number at 8 anywhere. In the certifications column, instead of "x" you should use "×". done In Rainbows, why the underscore? do you mean "Xendless_Xurbia"? A search on Google gave me a few outputs for "Xendless_Xurbia". Extended plays are also part of albums, you don't need a separate two-level heading for it. done Why the sudden introduction of Austria in EP table? You need to decide on 10 best markets and stick to it throughout the article. You cannot eliminate one chart and introduce others, just because Radiohead did not chart with EPs, or singles etc. I removed AUT. The EPs weren't charted in Canada, so I think it is reasonable to include another chart: Norway. What is the second random table about? Bootlegs. Removed Those notations also need sources. Removed trivial ones, added sources for other. Will try to find sources for the rest. Video collections would benefit from a table. done There are many online sources that are italicized in the references, also there is a bare url I saw for ultratop. The vice-versa is also true for published sources. done Publishers missing for many of them, instead the website name has been included which is not needed. For eg: bpi.co.uk done Chartstats as a source is always challenged, and the OCC has an artist discography link with proper peaks and everything. replaced--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫Share–a–Power[citation needed] 16:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC) IFPI is not part of the declared charts, nor is European Top 100 Albums chart, why is the European certification present then? They didn't receive any certs in this chart countries except FRA, US, UK, CAN and AUS. I never used the EU cert, so I have no idea if it is allowed to use it as a replacement for certs by IFPI countries. No, the EU certifications doesnot reflect an overall certification, since IFPI takes into account many other smaller markets like India etc, where there are no charts. Having it is misleading if you don't have all the markets which is contributing to the EU certification. Hence we don't have it. — Legolas (talk2me) 08:22, 25 July 2011 (UTC) removed

• The in-line citations for Australia can easily be made much cleaner by CITEKILL.

That would confuse the reader. For example Pablo Honey, released 1993, received certification in 2001; OK Computer, releasd 1997, received in the same year.

I'm not talking about certifications, about the chart peaks.

How would you appoint citekill?--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫_{Share–a–Power}^{[citation needed]} 13:53, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Since I'm on vacation, not able to do an edit always. So to give you a Zen like answer, look at Lady Gaga discography and see how different other chart peaks for Aus have been merged under a single reference using CITEKILL. This applies for the RPM positions of Canada too. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:48, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm opposing this list for now as I donot believe this is close to the FL criteria. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

done some things.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫_{Share–a–Power}^{[citation needed]} 16:01, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Comment okay, the nominator has been indef blocked as a sock puppeteer. Anyone willing to take the nomination on? If not, within 24 hours or so, I'll remove. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

I will try to improve this disco. But please give me a week, it requires a big clean up...--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫_{Share–a–Power}^{[citation needed]} 19:59, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Holler at me if you need any help GOP. Thanks TRM for pointing out the socking. Seemed familiar pattern of editing though. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

All issues have been fixed. 50.17.56.96 (talk) 04:24, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Oppose lead only. Needs native English writer as a copyeditor.

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 20:06, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Oppose on the first two paras of the lead. " five video albums " not per infobox. Fixed. Not sure you mean Abington, perhaps Abingdon? Fixed. 188.169.22.145 (talk) 03:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC) "Radiohead were formed in" was formed. I think that it must be "were" because the article is written in British English, but i'll change it for now. 188.169.22.145 (talk) 03:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC) Yes it must be were, as British English. "and consist of" and consists of. Fixed. 188.169.22.145 (talk) 03:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC) "the band's name was renamed " terrible prose, the name was renamed? really? Fixed. 188.169.22.145 (talk) 03:14, 30 July 2011 (UTC) "and a 3× Platinum certfication" prose please, and spelling. Fixed the spelling. I don't know what you mean in prose. 188.169.22.145 (talk) 03:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC) " charting in over seven countries" so eight? nine? two hundred? Fixed. 188.169.22.145 (talk) 03:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC) I think it was right, as this disco only contains 10 peak chart positions.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫Heyit's meI am dynamite 12:20, 30 July 2011 (UTC) The Rambling Man (talk) 18:57, 29 July 2011 (UTC) No need to repeat England after Abingdon as you've already said they're from England. done " were formed in Abingdon, England and consists of" okay so if you want Radiohead to be plural, then "consists" must be "consist". done "was renamed to "Radiohead".[1] " when, why? added a 3× Platinum certification" prose in the lead, so "triple" or "three-times". This needs multiple fixes. again, I don't see the point in it, but I changed that " by British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and Recording Industry Association of America .." that's "by the B.. and the Recording..." i.e. these organisations should be referred to with a the in front. Same with the Canadian one. It refers to the abbreviations, but anyway; I changed it. "charting in five countries in the top 10" -> "charting in the top 10 in five countries". changed "and became the first " became the band's first... changed

Advice: take this away to WP:PR and bring it back once it's ready to go. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:15, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't need any peer reviews. --♫Greatorangepumpkin♫_Hey^{it's me}_{I am dynamite} 20:04, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it does. And I'm not spending any more time on it. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:06, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

I copy edited the lead, please check it now. 188.169.22.145 (talk) 08:05, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
