Nominator(s): Neo139 (talk) 01:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I don't know what else I can do with it xD I think I meets criteria to be featured. --Neo139 (talk) 01:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Neutral Support - I don't find this list to reach FL criteria. Additionally, you are repeating similar things that were mentioned in the previous FLs. This list still needs a lot of work. I suggest you retract the nomination. CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 01:54, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

**Firstly, the lead is littered with song titles. Instead, you should list some of the more popular ones and list their accomplishments.
Done I changed completely the lead. Deleted the list of song titles. Check it.--Neo139 (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The lead is not very-well written and is missing sources.
Done. Added sources to the lead--Neo139 (talk) 06:26, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • You violate MoS issues quite frequently.

    • To reduce bulk, we do not include certifications that are not in the table, like most of the ones you entered. This has been told to you in the previous FLs
Done--Neo139 (talk) 06:54, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The list of countries in the table should be consistent throughout the article, not changing after every table.
Done--Neo139 (talk) 06:26, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The EPs are unsourced. How are we to know they exist if they never charted anywhere?

    • How are the other songs from different albums "as a featured artist"?
I don't understand what you mean--Neo139 (talk) 06:26, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Videos that have not charted anywhere need to be referenced. How do we know they exist?
Done--Neo139 (talk) 06:26, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You have fixed up some stuff, I still have some concerns. The lead is unimpressive. This needs fixing. YOu have it littered with song titles. Make it read from one sentence to another, like a history book. Look at other fellow FLs to see. Also, you should put a * before every countries certification. Work on this and I will take a look at the references.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 18:18, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Changed lead. Check it^^--Neo139 (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I see you have fixed up some things, and it is looking better. The lead is still a big issue. Aside from the aforementioned problems with it, you have quite a few grammar issues. To sample, you refer to the band as "it" this is weird, they should be referred to by name or they, it is an album, song or object. Next, these are the sourcing issues. They are quite frankly missing a lot. Almost every ref has issues, here are a few samples.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 21:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC)ç[reply]

Done Added Prometheus Global Media as publisher in all the billboard sources--Neo139 (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ref 4 - allmusic is the work, All Media Guide (its owner) is the publisher. allmusic.com does not work here. There are many more, as I said, lots to do.
Done Fixed all allmusic sources.--Neo139 (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I have added publisher and work to all the refs I could found that information.3--Neo139 (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Getting there. Still to do. The lead is looking much better. You should include info on their US sales and certifications, as well as some of their higher European or Asian certs. Also, it would be beneficial if you included another column for sales in the US (soundScan sales which can be found anywhere). Next, you should align the tables to be the same length. Ref problems still present. To reference the Grammy awards, use this the Grammy official website (rockonthenet isn't reliable). Now for refs.
Done I added a bit about US certifications and Europe cert in the lead. I added a column to albums for Sales in the US. Now the tables have the same width (1000). Deleted rockonthenet source and added grammy website. --Neo139 (talk) 06:05, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done --Neo139 (talk) 06:05, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I changed it to neutral for now, as you have definitely improved it a lot. There are still issues, which you will have to fix to earn my complete support.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 07:25, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Some as above. Also, changed author= for first= and last= --Neo139 (talk) 19:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • REF 6 - Billboard doesn't come up as italicized. When you put the work=, you don't have to place italics on each side of the work, it does it automatically. Placing them has the opposite effect.
Done Fixed all billboard refs--Neo139 (talk) 19:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • REF 8 - not properly formatted.
Done author-> first= and last= changed --Neo139 (talk) 19:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • REF 11 - not reliable to source this
Done. TIAYN fixed it =P --Neo139 (talk) 19:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • REF 15 - Missing date, author and link MTV and the publisher is MTV Networks. Same with REF 18
Done Added date, link and author. Also removed the link to the next MTV ref to avoid WP:OVERLINK, added publisher to both ref 15 and 18. Also, I not sure if I have to add the MTV Networks publisher to all the MTV references or just the one that are MTV News.

  • Okay, now the tables look too wide and out of screen. "The album was (number) best selling album of (year)" – its repetitive. Include that only for important albums. It's good other than this.
Changed tables width to 890px. Its currently the minimum number without getting the each Certification in two lines, in studio albums table, with Firefox and font size 16. Also I removed that the first album was the best selling album of 2001, since I already said it was one of the best selling albums of the decade.--Neo139 (talk) 16:54, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but the tables are still out of screen and too wide.
mmmm, What resolution, browser and font size are you using?Neo139 (talk) 07:38, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, it works in HD resolution. But, for lower resolutions, it does not. Try it yourself. I use Firefox and 16 size font. HD, FF, and 16 size is good, but lower resolutions have the problem.
Changed it to 820 width. Try it now. Horizontal should bar should disappear. --Neo139 (talk) 19:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Im not happy with the lead, its choppy, i dont feel that it accurately represents the body of the article.
With choppy are you referring to the length or the content of the lead? or something else?--Neo139 (talk) 01:45, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is something wrong with the "As lead artist" section which i cant quite put my finger on, one issue is the length of the song field, please see Kesha discography for how it should be formatted.

Now only some refs are in italics (allmusic, people, billboard) --Neo139 (talk) 01:45, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Questionable references used throughout. Eg: cyclefly.com and linkinparkru.com and linkin-park.it and mikeshinoda.com. They are blogs and fansites. Not allowed.
Done. Content from cyclefly.com, linkinparkru.com and linkin-park.it has been removed. mikeshinoda.com is the official website from Mike Shinoda, guitarist from Linkin Park so its useful as a source for releases.--Neo139 (talk) 23:09, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The references are not formatted correctly and are extremely inconsistent. EG: mtv.com. and MTV. Choose one or the other, further, 99% of the references are in italics this is a MOS violation, remove the italics only Magazines and online newspapers should be in italics.

  • Comments - Don't use the small tags for the headers Peak chart header. Use either JPN or JAP don't use both. Since its an extended discography I would suggest adding style="text-align:center" to the start of the coding for the tables, to remove the excessive use of align="center". Error in Ref 40. Ref 56 and 63 needs a format parameter. Afro (Talk) 21:30, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Small tags removed. JAP-->JPN. Added style="text-align:center" in albums/eps/singles table and removed the excessive use of align="center". Fixed Ref 40. And Ref 56 and 63, I don't know what you mean. If you can explain it I will appreciate it.^^ --Neo139 (talk) 05:49, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That means that you need to add format= to the refs. ref 56.2 and 63.2 are both pdf, so you should write format=PDF.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 10:42, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Lead needs to be rewritten, there's a lot of choppy prose ("The band is noted for its blend of rap rock and alternative metal" has nothing to do with sentences before and after it). For some reason, Hybrid Theory is discussed twice: I suggest dealing with the band's releases in a strictly chronological order to eliminate such redundancies. Remove information that is not vital to the LP discography; for example, the band-name change and mentions of RHCP and Green Day. Further, I think their LP Underground series of EPs and deserves a mention in the lead. In the compilation appearances (below), only list those songs which have not appeared in another album before. Finally, per WP:LEAD, information that is sourced in the body of the article needn't be cited with references in the lead (chart positions, certifications etc), so I suggest removing the cites to improve readability. Use one of the existing FLs at WP:DISCOG as a template for the lead.—indopug (talk) 12:35, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Deleted "The band is noted for its blend of rap rock and alternative metal. Merged Hybrid Theory info. Added some info about LPU EPs. Now only listing songs which have not appeared in other album before in compilation. Deleted ref in the lead that were already sourced in the body. --Neo139 (talk) 07:12, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll revisit in a couple of days (you can ping me if I don't). Meanwhile, per WP:DISCOGSTYLE, the soundtracks and compilations sub-sections should only mention songs that the band hadn't already released before, so entries like "One Step Closer" and "Points of Authority" shouldn't be there.—indopug (talk) 13:20, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why not use separate refs for each song for RIAA and RIANZ certs. RIANZ certs definitely should be, as they are done individually, but lumped into one inline citation

  • I rewrote the lead (mostly rearranging stuff); let me know if I introduced any inaccuracies/deleted any important information.
Thanks ^^--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most tables don't have the ""—" denotes releases that did not chart or were not released in that region thing.
Done--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most of those featured-artist singles seem to be credited to individual members of the band, as opposed to the band as a whole. I'm not sure they need to be listed (this is a discog of the band, not its individual members). Further, are all these singles, as opposed to just album tracks?
Done. Removed all except the ones that were from the hole band and not just one or two members.--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Considering how notable their efforts on the Billboard Alt. songs charts have been, I'm surprised that the chart isn't included in the singles table. Maybe replace the Japan chart (with only two, low-placed entries) with this?
Some months ago US Alt chart was on the article, but was a discussion about this (because of having two US charts). So I got removed, added a new country and talk about Us Alt Chart in the Lead.--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see a huge amount of hidden text, which the article size very large, and difficult to work on slower connections. Please remove it.
Done--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to the lead, HT was cert, 4x platinum in Europe. Why isn't this in the table, it seems a much bigger deal than the Austrian certs.
I think the same. Some time ago the article had all the certs. That was ok per DISCOG. Then I add a Diamond cert to a FL, and got it reverted. I asked about the revert with no reply. Some weeks later someone changed DISCOGSTLYE (without any discussion) and added that we should only add certs of the countries of the chart table. That was at the same time that I started with this FLC, and users here ask to remove the certs. So I removed. (Didn't had time to discuss in discogstyle talk while running FLC). Now we have less information in favor of looks, but it seems that is what most users want. --Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see a number of "Records" and "Recordings" under label; these should be removed.
Done--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is a separate column required for references? Couldn't you just stick them next to the album/track/EP name? (although this is just a stylistic issue, so it's up to you)
Most article don't use seperate column for refs, but I think it looks better for tables. Its a new trend =P --Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Video albums: since only two albums were certified, I think you can remove that column, and instead add a note below Format for that album—"US certification: platinum". Make the labels as "Warner Bros., Machine Shop".
Done--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Certifications for Linkin Park albums in Japon", "Peak chart positions for albums of Linkin Park in [the] United Kingdom". In fact, I suggest rewriting these to "Peak chart positions of Linkin Park albums in the <place>".
Done--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Soundtracks and Compilations: why does one have a release date, but the other not? I think a "Year" column for both should be sufficient. In fact, why not the two small tables? Mention "soundtrack" against those that are, in the Title column. Eg: Queen of the Damned soundtrack. Again, these aren't singles—maybe this table and the feat. artist songs table should go under an "Other appearances" section?—indopug (talk) 15:18, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done Added year, and now they are under other appearances section--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for all the comments^^--Neo139 (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support with final comments:
  • Not including the US Alt Songs in the charts is RLY dumb. I suggest you restart the discussion about this after this FLC. If the consensus stands to not include these, listing "Runaway" in the table is strange. Instead, remove it and make a note: "Although 'Runaway' was never released as a single, it charted at ## on the US Alt Songs chart."
Done: Added US Alt Chart. Someone and the talk page asked for it, so the result of the future discussion would be to include.--Neo139 (talk) 23:18, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you can merge that featured artist song to the main table, I don't think it is a big deal. But do make another note, clearly stating that LP were only featured artist.
Done--Neo139 (talk) 23:18, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since "New Divide" is in the Singles table, is it necessary to include in the Soundtracks too? Looking at the songs in Other appearances again, I see that most are only by Chester Bennington, not Linkin Park. Remove these?

Done lol (alphabet fail xd)--Neo139 (talk) 23:18, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but not since his last revisit. Although the lead has changed in content since his comment, the size is more or less the same and if by choppy he meant the size, I don't know what else I could add that is much important to be in the lead. So I'm not sure if ask for a second revisit or not.--Neo139 (talk) 19:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If I were you, I would ask him one more time. That won't hurt.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 17:03, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
