This list looks like it is very close to meeting the requirements of an FL, and based on my experiences with my first FL, I think I can finish up any remaining issues that are here in the time it will take to promote this. Blink-182 is an icon of pop punk, probably the first one ever that was full-on that way. (Green Day's Dookie set a standard for pop punk, though the band was never really thought of as an important part of the genre as they were for 90's punk in general.) The average person who wasn't as genre-savvy as we are would generally call them "alternative". Blink had two hits that made some really high positions on the charts, and many others which were successful on rock and alternative charts. This will be all we need before we can get a GT on Blink's studio albums, all of which are GAs. dannymusiceditor Speak up! 18:58, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments sorry it's taken so long for someone to provide some input here, hopefully the following will be of use:

  • " twenty singles" infobox says "22".

 Done

  • " five promotional singles" infobox says "7".

 Done

  • "twenty music videos" infobox says "22".

 Done

  • " thirteen million albums in the United States,[2] and over 35 million " 13 million per MOSNUM.

 Done

  • "number-one", " at number-six on" no hyphen necessary. (The hyphen in "the number-one spot" is fine though...)

 Done

  • Where are release dates referenced, and which territory (territories) are they pertinent to?

 Working

  • "7"" or "7" vinyl"? Consistency.

 Done

  • Not all singles are referenced.
Don't think this is required, Evanescence discography didn't have it. I just thought it'd be nice to add AllMusic links if they were available, and the ones which are missing them I think don't have them. dannymusiceditor Speak up! 20:25, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is required. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:27, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Prove it, please. I would like to see some kind of Wikipedia policy (besides the obvious WP:V) which says so. If that's all it is, I don't see what's so wrong about this. Maybe there was something else that satisfied the reviewers at my last FLC. dannymusiceditor Speak up! 12:38, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't need to "prove it", I need you to disprove it. How do I, for instance, verify even the very existence of ""Dumpweed" (Live)"? The Rambling Man (talk) 13:20, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. I can verify that one for you. It's just I'm certain that not all of these need it. Numerous FLs go without them but I can see how this one is an outlier. I will fix that soon. dannymusiceditor Speak up! 15:23, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Similar, items like "Wishing Well" which didn't chart anywhere and don't even have an article, how can we verify their existence?

 Done

  • Demos and Guest appearances unreferenced.

 Working

  • WP:DASH violattions in some ref titles, e.g. ref 1 needs an en-dash not a hyphen.

 Working That should get you started. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:56, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
