The Mars Volta discography

A one week I created this list, and am working to elevate their standard that quality. Then I decided that this discography already ready to receive views on the quality of the layout, text, etc. Since now, I thank anyone who devotes a little time to give me suggestions on this discography.

Support Looks good. Drewcifer (talk) 19:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Resolved stuff from Drewcifer

Conditional Support Looks really really good. I made a few minor changes myself, including a quick copy edit of the language in the lead. Let me know if you disagree with any of my edits. They were just easier to do than explain. The only things I still have a problem with are:

• The B-sides should go, since they are basically tracklistings
• The sentence that describes the members is way-over wikilinked. I'd recommend taking out the instruments, which would make things much similar and cleaner.

If you can take care of these two things, I'd be happy to support. Drewcifer (talk) 06:40, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

• Y Done Thank you very much!, I agree with you but my only problem so far is that I do not know, what is the real function of B-sides on an article or list? Cannibaloki 15:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

  • "The Mars Volta is a American progressive rock group founded by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López in 2001.[1] Currently the band consists of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Isaiah Ikey Owens, Juan Alderete, Thomas Pridgen, and Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez" - don't like the repetition of the founders. Perhaps something like "The Mars Volta is a American progressive rock group founded in 2001.[1] Currently the band consists of the two founder members Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala along with Isaiah Ikey Owens, Juan Alderete, Thomas Pridgen, and Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez"
  • "pr Sparta." typo!
  • Remove the period in the caption.

•  Done

• • We have nice looking templates for (in German) etc - (in German)...

• It is not my mistake, someone changed the template!

• • Both allmusic links don't take you to anything related to TMV.
    • FYI, Allmusic urls are tricky. You have to click on "Send to a Friend" to get a URL that will work. Drewcifer (talk) 18:59, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for advice...

• • [12] just goes to a search page - not a good reference I'm afraid.

•  Doing...
