- Their next studio album. Start Something, earned Lostprophets international success, selling 2.5 million copies worldwide and achieving gold certification in the United States and platinum in the UK. - 1) The period should be removed after album and replaced with a comma, and then continue the next sentence. Also consider then, splitting the sentence because it is relatively long.
- Are their any sources verifying the EPs?

- Comments - here we go again...
- "The band formed in 1997 in the Welsh town of Pontypridd.[2] Lostprophets formed with two members " - formed, formed... reword.
- Fixed
- "Both member initially" - members?
- Fixed
- "although Watkins quit as soon as 1998" in 1998?
- Fixed
- "Lewis (who did not leave Public Disturbance until 2000) playing bass,[3]" - where's the rest of the sentence?
- Fixed
- "became an underground success" what does this mean?
- Removed
- "Their ..." - you talked about the band in the singular throughout, be consistent.
- "Lostprophets won the NME award for Best Metal Group in 2002.[5]" - what relevance to the discog?
- Removed
- No need to link dates in the albums table etc.
- Fixed
- I don't see ref 10 telling me that Thefakesoundofprogress was released in Ireland at all. Check all of these, because you said they were released and didn't chart. Prove it.
- Fixed
- Same for all singles in all charts.
- Fixed
- Ref 1 doesn't have a URL but it does have an accessdate, what's going on?
- Fixed
- "the band's sound incorporates nu metal, hard rock and alternative metal elements" <- mentions of a band's genre is always going to be subject to people arbitrarily changing it based on how it sounds to their own ears, so you should probably find a cite for this to make arguing over it more difficult.
- Fixed
- NME, BBC, etc, should be linked in the refs. naerii 12:47, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- What makes the following reliable sources?
- Sources that are not in English need to have their language listed in the reference.
- Otherwise sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:31, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- First two sentences need a space
- WP:OVERLINKING on Welsh
- Lead switches from singular to plural tense when mentioning the band. "The band
werewas established" - UK spelling on "debut" please ("début")
- What is a "hardcore band"?
- Is Mike Lewis still in Public Disturbance?
- "Their next studio album. Start Something," change the full stop to a comma
- ""—" denotes releases that did not chart." So they were all definitely released in those markets, then?
