Personally I think that this list is appropriate for a Featured List. I will appreciate any comments that help improve this list. Cheers, Simon (talk) 04:15, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A lot of featured songs lists have pictures of the other song authors along the sides. Have you considered adding pictures of Tears for Fears and Paul Westerberg? There appear to be Son Lux photos with an Attribution 2.0 Generic licence that could be used from Flickr, too. --Prosperosity (talk) 06:58, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(I uploaded one for you here to save time, even though it'd not the best image) --Prosperosity (talk) 07:45, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there having images is necessary. Lorde has just started her career a year ago and she hasn't recorded so many songs. — Simon (talk) 01:29, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from WikiRedactor[edit]

Not part of FL criteria. Adabow (talk) 01:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "(credited as Ella Yelich-O'Connor)" could perhaps be slightly rewritten as "(credited by her birth name Ella Yelich-O'Connor)" just for additional clarification to unfamiliar readers.
Done. Adabow (talk) 01:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • On the table of contents, can you change the "0–9" to "4" because Lorde only has one song that starts with a number? (For now at least!)
All the styles at WP:CTOC use 0–9, rather than individual numbers.
  • I would suggest replacing the purple color used for marking singles with a green; I think of green as in "go" on a traffic light, and I just feel like using a softer shade of green would better indicate that something was "green-lit" about the song more effectively than the purple would.
Done. Adabow (talk) 01:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • From a purely stylistic standpoint, I think that the yellow used for promotional singles should be a softer shade that is a little easier on the eyes.
Agreed. Changed to a pastel orange. Let me know what you think. Adabow (talk) 01:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me! WikiRedactor (talk) 19:10, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the note on "No Better" is necessary, since the way you list the album as "Pure Heroine (extended edition)" gets the point across on its own.
Done. Adabow (talk) 01:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you can find a fair-use image from Commons or another service, I would recommend including a picture of Joel Little in the article because he has co-written nearly every one of Lorde's songs and is evidently an important one of her collaborators.
I had a decent go on Flickr, but I can't find anything. Adabow (talk) 01:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There are a bunch of Goodnight Nurse fan-cam rips on Youtube. Perhaps you could message the users, asking if they'd like to release some screenshots for Wiki Commons? --Prosperosity (talk) 02:30, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiRedactor: Everything you concerned has been addressed, except the files issue. But I think that the files do not necessary for this list. Simon (talk) 02:49, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am happy to give my support to the nomination, good work! WikiRedactor (talk) 19:21, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from XXSNUGGUMSXX[edit]

So far, looking pretty good. My only concern is that iTunes is used a bit much. Not that it's bad for credits, but I'm sure you can find reliable third-party sources to use in place. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:59, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have replaced the iTunes source for "Bravado" with the 7digital source. — Simon (talk) 01:49, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The iTunes link for "Tennis Court" was also replaced with the Official Charts Company link. — Simon (talk) 01:50, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK sounds good. One other thing I just noticed (and fixed myself) is how Stephen Thomas Erlewine was only listed as "Stephen Erlewine" in one AllMusic ref. You've now got my support! XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 09:26, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Uhm the first name is "Stephen" and the last name is "Erlewine" so the middle name (Thomas) is not included in the template {{cite web}}. Thank you all the way! Simon (talk) 12:55, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome, HĐ. To include the middle name, just have it in the "first name" field along with first name. Yes, middle names actually should be included if they are used in source, so it reads "Erlewine, Stephen Thomas" in the ref. If the source only listed him as "Stephen Elrewine", than it would be better to just have it read as "Erlewine, Stephen". XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 13:40, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There you go! Thank you once again. Simon (talk) 03:38, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I don't really have many comments; it's a tidy little list. Studio album and self-released are redirecting links in the lead, and you should consider archiving the remaining references, but it all looks good to me. --PresN 22:05, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
