I am nominating this for featured list because I think I have brought it up featured list status by formatting it according to WP:DISCOGSTYLE and using several featured discographies as an example. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 15:44, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments, I've addressed all of the concerns except ref 15. I've googled and I can't find anything, should the ref be removed? Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 00:50, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It can't be found on any Korean retail website? Then again, you aren't sourcing the other formats, so you could just remove it. Other than that everything looks really good! :) – Underneath-it-All (talk) 01:30, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
All right, I've removed it. Thanks! I've spent at least three days on it to make it look better. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 04:40, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Quite high quality. Minor point: Link in cite number 51 appears to be broken. — Cirt (talk) 18:46, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for noticing, I fixed it. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 20:31, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comments (lead alone, will re-visit the tables and refs once these issues are resolved)

Done.
  • "in over 6 years" 6->six.
Done.
  • "4.9 million albums and nearly 40 million digital singles." so the 4.9 million albums were all physical or a mixture?
Fixed.
  • "Members Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun have also released an EP under group name Girls' Generation-TTS." ref please.

Thank you for your constructive criticism, I've addressed all your current concerns. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 18:54, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - my only issue is that some of the wikilinks actually point to articles on the Korean Wikipedia rather than the English one - is this usual practice.........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:47, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea. I thought it would be useful, because they don't have articles on the English wiki.Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 09:14, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. However, I suggest archiving other online sources with webcitation.org, to manually archive all online references which will guarantee they remain accessible even if the site goes down: (this page (step-by-step instructions there). SoapFan12 02:17, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • All caps in refs 8, 11, 28, 32, 47, 56, 58, 78, and 86 should be removed.
    • These are fixed, but I also saw all caps in ref 27, which I missed earlier. This might as well be fixed too. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:08, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The hyphens in the titles of refs 9, 28 (2 of them), 32 (also 2), 37, 42, 43, 52, 78, and 85 should be converted into en dashes per the Manual of Style. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:07, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've addressed all your concerns. Please let me know if there's any additional comments, thanks. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 05:51, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
