Megadeth discography

The early work done on this list was made by Burningclean. Later I improved, until reach here. I had a type of deal with Burningclean, was to be he nominating this list (or a co-nom between us), but he nearly left wiki or in a vacant period, I don't known. Now this work is better and waiting for your comments, that's all. Regards, Cannibaloki 03:40, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

• In early 2002, Mustaine suffered several injuries, that led him to announce in a press release which Megadeth had disbanded. - how about In early 2002, Mustaine suffered several injuries, which led him to announce in a press release that Megadeth had disbanded.
  • Done. (swapped and not saw)
• Two years later the band was reformed, and released The System Has Failed, which was supposed to be a solo album released by Mustaine, but due to outstanding contractual obligations with the band's European label EMI, he was forced to release one more album under the "Megadeth" name. 1)Comma after "later" 2)(Opt.)Remove comma before "and released"
  • Done. (just slipping to the wrong place)
• Why is it that there is nothing noting the singles in the lead? Or other releases, like live albums, etc.?
  • This informations are written in the band's article, the discography is only a summary.

            • Do I sense a problem between me and you here? All I said was whether you could add a bit of prose about the singles, which is part of the discography of Megadeth.--Truco 21:18, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I haven't been on for a while, but if there's work to be done, I'll help. If the nom goes to Cannibaloki that's fine, but I'll help with it. We had a deal, I just haven't been on much for a while, but I'll do work that's needed. Sorry about that. Burningclean _[speak] 20:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:43, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:43, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

• The date format in the citations are inconsistent, some are in ISO format (2009-01-05) and others are in American format (January 6, 2009).
  • Done. (January 6, 2009)
• What makes http://www.zobbel.de/cluk/CLUK_M.HTM a reliable source? Dabomb87 (talk) 17:11, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Nothing, but the chart information were taken from several kinds of books; see Bibliography of Chartography Cannibaloki 03:12, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
    • Confirmed to be reliable per Wikipedia:WikiProject Discographies/style and other FLCs. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:43, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Oppose for now The prose needs work: I can't understand the sentence "Throughout Megadeth's many lineup changes, they toured and gained a following, signing with the independent label Combat Records in late 1984." Reading further on "Their major hit, is the single "Symphony of Destruction", which peaked at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as, the top 15 in Ireland and UK." is rather grammatically incorrect as well.

Also, instead of writing out entire sentences just to describe which year an album was released, you could just put the year in brackets and convey the same meaning with fewer words. For eg: "Megadeth's sixth album Youthanasia (1994) was a commercial success." Please find somebody to look through the text and I will be happy to strike my oppose. indopug (talk) 10:26, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I sifted through the text a bit; most of what needed copy-editing was added after I had reviewed the article. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:10, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Opposer asked to revisit here. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:19, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
