Move from Mika's Discography to Mike discography

I'm considering renaming this article Mika discography, to be consistent with other discography pages (eg, Bon Jovi discography, Queen discography).

Any thoughts? Abbott75 ღ 03:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree; this page should be renamed to "Mika discography". In fact, I'm going to do it right now. Icelazer3 (talk) 12:13, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Argh, right now "Mika discography" redirects to the Mika page, so now someone'll have to undo the redirect and move everything on this page over to "Mika discography". Since I'm still a noob at Wikipedia, and I have no time, I don't really want to undertake this project right now, so if anyone wants to do this job, feel free to.

Done Admin powers were needed. Royal broil 17:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New album

Please do not added information about Mika's upcoming album until all details have been confirmed by his official website and/or record label. Please see WP:NOTCRYSTAL. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 01:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Singles table

hey guys can i make a suggestion, remove italy from the table completely because according to WP:BADCHARTS the italian chart positions aren't very reliable and it really shouldn't be included. and replace it with Ireland? Mister sparky (talk) 14:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy for this edit to go ahead. Freshpop (talk) 16:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other contributions

Shouldn't this information be kept? I know it's only a small section but I'm sure it'll be added to in the future. I've seen it on other discographys. Freshpop (talk) 19:50, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hey, i removed it because it was just one unsourced not very notable live performance. not worthy of keeping at all imo. but if you have another suggestion? Mister sparky (talk) 20:20, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From my understanding it was a performance of Grace Kelly that he did live on a radio show which was released as a compilation CD with other artists.

Extended plays

At the top of the page and in the info box it says there are two EPs. Should this include the two exclusive to iTunes EPs? Or should they go into a new 'Live extended plays' section? Freshpop (talk) 20:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i suggest putting them as ep's, because they are really. but thats just me lol Mister sparky (talk) 20:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

True, they are, but they've not been released as new official EPs like Songs For Sorrow for example. If we were to include them like this then we might as well move the Live Album into the Album section. Freshpop (talk) 20:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hows about putting the live album and the 2 live ep's together? as all 3 are itunes Mister sparky (talk) 21:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, what do you suggest this section to be called? Live something maybe? Freshpop (talk) 17:02, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relax, Take It Easy & Lollipop.

I think it's a little confusing that one gets the re-release peak #18 position and the other does not. If it's a double-A side, doesn't that mean that they both peaked at 18? So, I think the chart should say that, with the footnotes explaining the original peak position.

If not, I think both should maintain their original peak #, and then have the footnote explaining the dual re-release. It just doesn't make sense, unless I'm missing something, for them not to be equal.--Cinemaniac⁸⁶_{Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire} 10:46, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely. The double-A side should be in the table at #18 with the original peak in the footnote. It has been put as this before but someone keeps reverting it. Edit: I've just seen your edit and I think that the two should be moved down to below "Happy Ending" so the singles are chronological. =) Freshpop (talk) 16:20, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing has been done since my comment. This makes perfect sence, as a single Lollipop made #18 in the chart, and so, should be put as it in the chart table. It has as much right to be put as #18 as Relax. Freshpop (talk) 17:43, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mika_discography&diff=prev&oldid=334079815 This edit appears to be vandalism. The same user vandalised multiple pages. Does someone have the time to revert this change? Math1985 (talk)

Fake website mentioned as being an official one

Hello, in the France sales part, a link to the website infodisc.fr, well know for being fake for very long, is pretty and named as it was the SNEP, the official Syndicat Nationale de l'Edition Phonographique (French equivalent to RIAA). This infodisc website has absolutely nothing to do with the SNEP. Figures from it are fake and not even consistent on themself depending on which page you are on. I replaced that link with a valid article from chartmasters.org, that details albums performances with all official links supporting them. Why was this relevant change reverted? MJDangerous (talk) 16:11, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So people remove my valid updates and then when I point out fake links nobody care? MJDangerous (talk) 02:24, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
