Nominator(s): Holiday56 (talk) 13:49, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because after having redeveloped its prose section and tables, I believe that it now may satisfy the featured list criteria. Holiday56 (talk) 13:49, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Underneath-it-All
;Comments:
  • Ref 1 → add Time Inc. as publisher
  • Ref 6 → add The New York Times Company as publisher
  • Ref 7 → Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
    • Don't see the point in this; readers can work out the abbreviations for certification providers through the wikilinks in the references and tables, so I don't think the suggested change is necessary. Holiday56 (talk) 09:26, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 8 → add News Corporation as publisher
  • Refs 8 + 22 are the same
  • Refs 29 + 31 → Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA)
  • Ref 30 → Music Canada (MC)
  • Ref 33 → International Federation of the Phonographic Industry of Denmark (IFPI)
    • Same response for the above three as my comments for the RIAA. Holiday56 (talk) 09:26, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 66 → add Spin Media as publisher
  • References → {{Reflist|2}}
    • Dividing 68 references into two columns makes the page unnecessarily longer, in my opinion; it's more user-friendly to let browser width determine the number of columns rather than forcing two/three. Holiday56 (talk) 09:26, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add {{Use mdy dates|date=July 2013}} {{Use American English|date=July 2013}}

Comments
  • "together in their high school years." can you give us a timeframe for this for context?
  • " became immensely popular " -> perhaps tone it down a little and "gained popularity"?
  • "Billboard Top Comedy Albums chart" just links to Billboard charts, is there a better (or hashed) link?
  • "was the most successful of the album's eight singles" according to the rest of the lead and infobox they had eighteen.
    • This phrase only refers to singles from that particular album. Holiday56 (talk) 19:43, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Check refs, I clicked on a couple, ref 10 was "bad gateway"...
    • Not sure if the site was down when you checked, but I've successfully accessed ref 10 right now. Holiday56 (talk) 19:43, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Akiva Schaffer[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]" it's probably better to put the individual ref next to the video, rather than this hopeless string of refs!

  • Support - This is a great list. I'd link troupe though, if it can be, as I don't know what this is.  — AARON • TALK 21:08, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Troupe" is more or less a synonym for "group"; it's a commonly used term when referring to groups of comedians. I suppose I could link it, but that may be considered a violation of WP:OVERLINK. I'll wait for more opinions for now; if more people feel that linking to the term would be appropriate, then I can do so. Thanks for the support! Holiday56 (talk) 08:43, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
