Demo

[edit]

I included the first demo as well. That's okay? AkiShinji 18:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Eva-cover.jpg

[edit]

Image:Eva-cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Escapist

[edit]

I changed the name of the song "The Escapist" to only "Escapist" the real name doesn't have that "The" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.208.60.26 (talk) 23:59, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Content

[edit]

The erased material was moved to List of Nightwish songs.DreamNight (talk) 06:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A more accurate Edit Summary for this edit which removed 26541 characters would have helped. Why can't a discography and a list of songs for a group be in the same table?   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 07:11, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think is best for the organization, and with the list of the songs, the article has an unnecessary size. DreamNight (talk) 07:42, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chart placing errors

[edit]

The Austrian chart link gives different peaks for three albums: Century Child, Once & Dark Passion Play. They are 30, 5 & 4 in the article while the cited link has 15, 4 & 5. Once's and DPP's placing's may well have been accidentally swapped, but the third seems not possible that way.
The Greek charts link has no chart placings for any album. Still there are two studio albums, one live album and one compilation album with a 'GRE' -marked chart placing. Considering the studio albums and compilation, there are appropriate cites at album articles. But I am wondering why greekcharts.com does not have them? They have probably been there because they're cited? 82.141.125.149 (talk) 04:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And Dark Passion Play article has #3 as Greek chart position. Looking to that article's talk page, it seems the cite there once had the #5 placing, but apparently not anymore. 82.141.125.41 (talk) 14:20, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Release Date Issue

[edit]

Many of the release dates in the discography do not match up with the release dates on the band's web site nightwish.com/en/releases. What source is being used for the albums? --TheAlmightyGuru (talk) 16:09, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

It links to something else. It may not even have a page yet. --OhHeyBro (talk) 13:10, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gold Certification for the latest album

[edit]

Apparently it went gold in the Czech republic [1] not sure what the syntax for adding that would be though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ERAGON (talk • contribs) 13:34, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Renovation

[edit]

So, following the work on Tarja Turunen discography, I intend to make some changes and improvements on this page. There are a lot of outdated info, info with no refs, dead or misleading refs, and so on. All the main changes Will be explained here, and all help is welcome.

Studio albums

[edit]

As I wrote before, this article needs a lot of revision. For the Albums, I narrowed down the Charts to ten, which is a standard number, including Australia, Canada, Japan, UK and US, the main music markets, plus other main markets for Nightwish. Almost all the infos and refs for Charts and certifications were outdated, dead links, or unreliable, so they were all checked, plus some info got updated. The ww Sales were also linked with unnoficial sources, and specific number of sales for specific territories are unnecessary and just make extra space, those can be checked on the pages for the Albums. Similar updates to come in the other sections. Rodrigo71 (talk) 14:33, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The video albums, now this was a tough one. A lot of dead or discontinued refs, some of the alleged Charts, such as Sweden, were Impossible to verify and therefore removed. Kept were the one with current valid refs, including the adding of the UK charts Rodrigo71 (talk) 18:03, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Compilations

[edit]

Compilations are a tricky topic. Wishmastou and Bestwishes are currently listed, but those were minor releases from smaller labels limited to some countries, so much so they're not mentioned in Official website by the band nor are counted in any major selling or merchandising site, there are dozens of such compilations and DVD/live bootlegs If you Google it. So I suggest we should only list major compilations supported by the band, to keep the page cleaner. Rodrigo71 (talk) 20:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updating

[edit]

For now I've finnished all my intended alterations on this page. A lot of research has been done, but expanding is always welcome. Just dont remove info without a good reason, nor add info without proper refs. Rodrigo71 (talk) 00:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodrigo71: I have edited the page to restore/change the following in line with discography conventions:
  • Types of albums are grouped as third-level headings under a second-level heading that says "Albums".
  • The musical act's home country's chart is typically listed first on discographies.
  • The initialism for the certifying body is typically used to denote the certification, not the initialism for the country.
  • We typically leave cells in the certifications column blank, with no dashes to denote lack of certifications.
  • Your column spans in the singles and video albums sections to state that several releases were "online only" so that's why they didn't or were ineligible to chart: In 2022 and 2024, online releases do not prevent album or single releases from charting. (If you meant to say that particular video release, Virtual Live Show from the Islanders Arms 2021, was only sold through the band's online store, I'm pretty sure music acts register sales on their stores with all relevant chart publishers.) Lack of charting doesn't necessitate a colspan or note to speculate on a reason as to why it didn't chart. It might simply not have been popular enough to chart. "Noise" also wasn't released physically but still charted.
  • The lack of a chart position on the main chart of a country should not be substituted with a number from a secondary chart from that country (the Rock chart, the Heatseekers chart, the Bubbling Under chart, whatever it may be). An explanatory footnote next to a dash should be the only thing there. Ss112 04:17, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Allright, thanks for all the tips, I'll keep them in mind for the future. Rodrigo71 (talk) 16:30, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
