I am nominating this for featured list because having extensively redeveloped the prose and tables, I believe it now meets the featured criteria. Any criticism would be welcome if it helps improve the page. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 20:54, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments:
  • Label: Hut, Virgin → Labels: Hut, Virgin
  • I would move "Video Albums" down with "Music Videos" and put it under the heading "Videography".
  • Adjust Hung ref: cite web|url=http://www.ultratop.be/nl/showinterpret.asp?interpret=The+Verve | title=Discografie The Verve | publisher=Hung Medien | work=''ultratop.be'' | accessdate=29 May 2013 | language=Dutch > cite web|url=http://www.ultratop.be/nl/showinterpret.asp?interpret=The+Verve|title=Discografie The Verve|publisher=Belgian Charts Portal. Hung Medien (Steffen Hung)|last=Hung|first=Steffen|accessdate=29 May 2013|language=Dutch Adjust similar refs in this style.
  • The publisher of these sites, as stated at the bottom of these pages, is Hung Medien alone: it should remain so, as "Belgian Charts Portal" doesn't appear anywhere on the page and is more a description of the source itself. Also, I don't think listing Steffen Hung as the author of the page simply because it's his site is correct: that would be like saying that every single article on Mail Online is written by Martin Clarke because he runs the site. Look for specific authors – if one's not given, then leave the space blank. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 20:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add abbreviations in refs. Ex: Music Canada (MC)
  • As the certification providers are wikilinked in the tables and in the references, I think that users can work out which abbreviation is associated with which provider in this way. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 20:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps add catalog numbers for albums, EPs and video albums?
  • Not always easily available for a lot of albums, and would just mean the table gets clogged up with the additional references needed to verify them (as they don't appear in the ones already needed to verify the release dates). It's more of a personal preference, as I don't mind when editors do add them, but numerous FLs have been passed in the past without them.

Comments
  • " from the successful American jazz label " I don't see a good reason for "successful" here.
  • "subsidiary Hut Records in 1991, they released the" instead of "they", reinforce "The Verve" since you've talked about other groups/companies since.
  • "Tensions grew in The Verve during" you mean "within the band"?
  • "although it did manage to reach " ->" although it reached..."
  • Link "certified" appropriately.
  • " its three singles – "This Is Music", "On Your Own" and "History" – became The Verve's first to reach" the "three" couldn't be their "first". I know what you're saying but this isn't the best way of saying it.
  • "The internal conflict" perhaps "The conflicts within the band led Ashcroft..."? Something like that perhaps.
  • "up only three months" no real need for "only", let the reader make their mind up if three months afterwards is significant.
  • " except for McCabe, who was replaced by Simon Tong.[1] After McCabe rejoined the band in early 1997" reads funny to me.
  • "following its release a few months later," don't think you need this at all.
  • "it was a huge commercial success" no need for huge.
  • "In 2010, Ashcroft confirmed that the band were now indefinitely inactive" -> "In 2010, Ashcroft confirmed that the band were indefinitely inactive"

  • I feel that the number of colons in the lead could be reduced a bit.
  • "Slide Away [12" VINYL]" – I'd change "VINYL" to "Vinyl".

Otherwise, solid list. Well done. Holiday56 (talk) 16:12, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, as my comments have been addressed. Great job! Holiday56 (talk) 13:22, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I see no issues remaining after the other reviewer's comments have been addressed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:01, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
