Wikitables[edit]

More work is needed on this article. Perhaps good wikitables would improve it but I'm not sure how to create a wikitable so that the information is displayed better. The singles-only section (which I've just added) is a work in progress and is expected to be replaced by a better section / wikitable once I learn how (someone else is certainly welcome to do so).Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some wikitables both for albums and singles have been added/edited by Dan arndt (and the undersigned), thereby improving this article. A table of B-sides is to follow.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested WP:DISCOG assessment[edit]

A quick assessment of the list:

  • The lead is far too long. Try and get it down to three paragraphs or thereabouts.

Working on it.Dan arndt (talk) 04:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The "Discography" section-header is unnecessary: we already know this is a discography from the title.

Done.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • In general, the style is a little unorthodox. I'd recommend taking a look at the WP:DISCOG style guideline proposals for some ideas. Granted, it's still in the proposal stages, but that should help a little. A few such issues I see:
  • The "Singles released" table isn't necessary, since it's echoed in the singles table itself.

I deleted the Singles released column from the Albums table.

  • "Charts" isn't specific enough. It should be "Peak chart positions" or something like that.

Done.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The US column is uncited.

Done.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The dates are over-wikilinked, as are the labels.
Reduced labels over-wikilinkage. Still to do dates.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Dan arndt (talk) 04:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • All data is presumed to be the original release. Information pertaining to re-releases aren't necessary, unless particularly notable.

Re-releases deleted.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Saying "Eighth studio album" and so on is unnecessary.

Deleted ordinals except "Debut studio album".Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Certifications are usually given their own column
I'm working on the wikitables (including adding a cert col) at my sandbox copy. I'm not very good at wikitables and keep having trouble with the column Head not being automatically coloured correctly.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Found the problem a couple of | needed to be ! Now working on aligning column widths a little better.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "AUS chart peak" column in Video/DVD isn't necessary.
Done. Also increased width of second column.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Smaller font used in some of the tables is also unnecessary.
Font size within tables now 10pt or greater: some column headings may be smaller.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully that'll get things moving in the right direction. For some more general help take a look at the WP:DISCOG style guidelines, and also take a look at some current FL discographies, my personal favorite being Nine Inch Nails discography. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. Drewcifer (talk) 08:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a first go, more to follow.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
More done but still not finished.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Still working on wikitables: trying to add a Certificate col where appropriate.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Got it to work at last, now onto column widths.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stoneage Romeos @ Billboard?[edit]

Stoneage Romeos is listed as having #209 chart place in the US. What list is that? The US list is supposed to be the Billboard 200, and #209 does not fit into top 200 list. 85.217.34.34 (talk) 19:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would appear that an anonomous editor 75.170.87.124 went through a whole lot of discographies on 24 April 2011 and listed various albums as reaching #209 on the Billboard 200, unfortunately it wasn't picked up earlier - I have corrected the vanadalism on the Hoodoo Gurus Discography.Dan arndt (talk) 02:40, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Hoodoo Gurus discography/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Article now contains a better Lead, has improved wikitables with information on albums and singles. Lead could be improved further, a wikitable of B-sides could also be provided. I have recently contributed to this article and may be biased.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
