Spice Girls discography

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I have done alot of work recently in improving sourcing, formatting, layout, content etc and would like some idea of what people think and what improvements could be made :)

Thanks, Mister sparky (talk) 00:11, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

• I think this "article" really is a list and if you have aspirations of bringing it to featured status you should pursue the WP:FLC route.

thats what i'm going to do, but having a peer review first. which is recommended. Mister sparky (talk) 12:12, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• Your writing is good and the content is solid. I think you should try and combine some of the paragraphs in the lead. I see five separate "paragraphs" though two are a single sentence and two are two sentences. I would recommend two paragraphs, no more than three if necessary.

yea was going to make changes to the lead. Mister sparky (talk) 12:12, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• The image is good.
• I like to compare articles to FL's of the same type.

• Pussycat Dolls discography is a comparable article at least as a girl group with some success. Did the Spice Girls release any Extended Play albums or special releases other than their greatest hits? What about DVD releases of concerts? I guess that's covered in the Video album section.

thank you, i did most of the work to the PCD discog and got it promoted to FL :) but no they didnt release any ep's or other albums. and yes the concerts are already included. Mister sparky (talk) 12:12, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• I think overall as I review other FLs of the same type that your article is solid, perhaps a little tweaking of the format in the lead and make sure there are no other releases by the Spice Girls and then I think it would be ready for consideration as a featured list. Well done and give me a poke at my talk page if you have any questions or concerns. H1nkles (talk) _{citius altius fortius} 17:25, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

thank you for your comments tho :) Mister sparky (talk) 12:12, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

• Per your request I've reviewed the lead again. Good work, I made some copy edits to tighten up the prose and fix grammatical mistakes. I'm wondering if there is information on their chart success outside the UK? I don't know if this is standard in discography FLs. I'm thinking chart success in major markets like the US and Europe. I see you mention Ireland and Australia but very little about their success especially in the US, which is a good benchmark of a group's global impact.
• Is there a reason the first paragraph is one sentence? Could this be combined with the second paragraph?
• Also wanted to bounce the thought off of you for a sentence or two about their hiatus/break-up. I know the focus is their discography so it would be fine to leave it out. I just felt like there's this big gap between their last studio album and their greatest hits album. If they were on such a roll why did it all end so abruptly. Again I'll leave that to your discretion as it is certainly off topic. Otherwise I think you're good to go. H1nkles (talk) _{citius altius fortius} 18:27, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
