Soundgarden discography

I am nominating the discography because I believe it meets the criteria to be a Featured List. A lot of work has gone in to the article and I believe it to be complete and well-referenced. If there are any issues I'll will make sure to address them.-5- (talk) 19:59, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Some of the references are missing publishers. Please add them. Gary King (talk) 20:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Comment Use em dashes (—) for empty cells in the table, not a hyphen (-). --Gman124 ^talk 20:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comment
  • Please try to avoid nominating at FLC then applying a maintenance template - we'd like to see a stable list.
  • Caption for the image will be good.
  • Think about WP:MOS for numbers below 10 - usually spelt out in text.
  • You should modify your references to include foreign languages if not in English.

• • • I'm sorry The Rambling Man, someone went and edited the article to a version that I would not put up for review. The current version of the article is what I am putting up for review.-5- (talk) 22:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Comment: Not sure what's going on in ref 25 (Soundgarden Rail Against the...); what is the publication and author name? Refs that don't include an external link should not have "Retrieved on...". An image would be nice; even if just of Cornell. Unrelated note: If this gets through, all of the "BigFourOfGrunge" discographies would be featured. indopug (talk) 19:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• • Ref 25 is a press release that can be found here. I didn't know whether it was appropriate to put a link since it comes from the unofficial Soundgarden website. I don't really support the idea of putting up an image of Cornell if its not representative of his time in Soundgarden. To me, that would be like putting up an image of Paul McCartney circa 2008 on The Beatles discography. I'll look through Flickr to see if there are any images that could be used, but the last time I tried I didn't have any luck.-5- (talk) 19:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Support: Good discography. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 22:19, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• The order of the sections should follow the order of the infobox. Or vica-versa.
• Peak chart positions in all tables should be in one of two orders:
  • US charts → All other charts (alphabetically). Or
  • US charts → English lang charts (alphabetically) → Foreign lang charts (alphabetically)
• Directors for the three remaining music videos, please
• ==Miscellaneous== should be ==Compilation appearances== or ==Soundtrack appearances==. Or if both, ==Other appearances==
• I don't understand ""Rhinosaur" was never released as a single, but charted when released as a B-side on the "Ty Cobb" single". If a B-side charted, then so did the A-side, yet Ty Cobb didn't. Apparently. And how does a B-side chart anyway, when the actual release was Ty Cobb?

• Sources can not be found for the directors of those music videos. Just because a song was released as a single it does not mean it will get radio airplay, and just because a song wasn't released as a single it does not mean it can't get airplay. In this instance, radio programmers opted to play the B-side of the "Ty Cobb" single ("Rhinosaur") instead of the A-side.-5- (talk) 22:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Comment Check the Billboard charts placings at Allmusic as well. Some of the chart placings have a tendency to disappear from the Billboard site (for example, huge chunks of R.E.M.'s singles chart placings from the 90s are missing for no good reason) and I recall seeing that "Outshined" charted on one of the rock charts. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

• • I just checked it here. There's no listings for any singles released before 1994.-5- (talk) 13:59, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Support Very good work. indopug (talk) 17:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

You can't trust the chart on allmusic i sais that Nothing To Say peaked at 11 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks in 1994. It was released in 1988 and has never been a single. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 19:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

It charted on an airplay chart, which means it doesn't need to be physically released when it charts. WesleyDodds (talk) 01:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Support Took me a while to get to this one, so it looks like everything has already been taken care of. So I support! Good job! Drewcifer (talk) 06:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Support Good work, but why not have an image in infobox? You could use a of Chris Cornell same, simply write a caption talking about something... “Chris Cornell playing live in Amsterdam, on his current solo career post-Soundgarden.” Cannibaloki 18:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
