Jimi Hendrix discography[edit]

Featured list candidates/Jimi Hendrix discography/archive1

Nominator(s): Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this because I believe it meets the criteria for a featured list. It covers Hendrix's original recordings and is separate from the Jimi Hendrix posthumous discography. It has been completely revised with the addition of new sections and many new sources within the last seven months. It is extensively referenced with inline citations and goes beyond WP:DISCOGSTYLE and most FL discographies. Recommendations made during the peer review regarding the format have been incorporated and it has been thoroughly fact-checked. In the past, comments have been made about tendentious editing, ownership, and vandalism of Jimi Hendrix articles. However, they now seem to be stable—Jimi Hendrix and Are You Experienced have been promoted to Featured Articles and several others are nominated as GAs. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question, would the Jimi Hendrix Interview Album count as a release??Coal town guy (talk) 18:14, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Short answer: No, it is not within the timeframe of this discography, because it was released posthumously. Long(er) answer: By definition, a discography is "a descriptive catalog of musical recordings". If the release doesn't include music, it usually isn't included. Biographers McDermott (1992), Roby (2002), and Shadwick (2002) don't list interview albums in their Hendrix discographies. Shapiro (1990) lists two under "Miscellaneous"—a BBC transcription LP (1976) and Jimi Hendrix: The Interview album (Rhino 1980s). Portions of interviews are included in the film See My Music Talking (1968) and several posthumous videos, along with musical performances. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:11, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Wow, you did a great job on this one, I don't see any problems with it. It always feels a bit weird for me to just support without having any comments that have to be resolved, but that is the case here. Though I will ask you, why is a filmography included on this page, as it regards Hendrix' discography?--Music26/11 15:19, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be the accepted FL discography practice (see David Bowie discography, Led Zeppelin discography, Nirvana discography, Red Hot Chili Peppers discography, The White Stripes discography, etc), unless there is enough for a separate videography (Madonna videography, Beyoncé videography, etc.). The proposed style guide doesn't address videos; under "What should not be included" it lists "Non-musical releases or works." Hendrix's appearances in the films are essentially limited to musical performances and are listed along with his published discographies. Since these predate videos, the term "Filmography" was used. Maybe rename it "Music performances in films" or similar? —Ojorojo (talk) 16:40, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps that should be better, to avoid confusion with acting appearances.--Music26/11 02:50, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed. Thanks for bringing it up. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:36, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support — Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 18:03, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~Support — This looks good and thorough, but I do have one query: I notice that you give two sources for the UK and US peak chart positions, however under the "other" peak positions, none of the footnotes you give has actually been referenced. I can't see that they are explicitly sourced elsewhere in the article. Regards, --Noswall59 (talk) 09:38, 21 September 2014 (UTC).[reply]

The references for the "Other" charts were listed in a subsection "Other charts" immediately below "Citations" and above "References".[2] However, I can see how they would be missed, so they are now in "Citations" (by using inline cites for the "Other" columns). Hope this makes it clearer without overburdening the citations. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:12, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying the matter. The article seems very thorough and well referenced throughout - great work. Regards, --Noswall59 (talk) 19:06, 21 September 2014 (UTC).[reply]
