Jimi Hendrix videography[edit]

Nominator(s): Ojorojo (talk) 16:42, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, I have expanded the referencing for the videography with 50% more inline citations and double the sources. I believe it faithfully represents the subject and meets the criteria. Looking forward to your reviews. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:42, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Is it safe to assume that all of the information (e.g., release dates, director, songs, etc.) is supported by the citation(s) after the title of the video? — Miss Sarita 17:06, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking this on. Yes, the refs in the Title column support all the info for that entry (except Certifications). It seems that adding citations to the individual items under Details might lead to citation clutter. I considered a separate "Ref" column, which seems more common now than when most of this videography was developed. I'd be happy to add one if it is improves the article. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:56, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you can, that's what I would do. I think it would make it clearly obvious that the ref(s) are supporting the information in the entire row. I'm also curious about giving the "Songs" details their own column and moving the directors to the "Details" column...but that's just a personal opinion regarding aesthetics (i.e., it wouldn't sway my opinion regarding FL promotion either way). Other than that, I don't see any more room for improvement. It's concise, detailed, and organized. — Miss Sarita 19:04, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Will add. An earlier version[2] had a separate Songs column, but I changed it when the first FLC didn't get much response. I'll try a couple of different formats and we can see what looks best. —Ojorojo (talk) 19:50, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a couple of variations here. I'll come back to it later. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:14, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In all honesty, I do like the appearance of the first variation better. What about putting the songs in a bulleted list view? Again, this is all a personal opinion concerning aesthetics, so if it isn't what's best for the list, by all means, feel free to give me a firm no! :-) — Miss Sarita 15:15, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I like the first one better also. I've tried a couple more – one with the Songs column as a bulleted list (#3) and one unbulleted (#4) (another with numbers indented too much). I think the bulleted one makes the individual songs stand out more and is easier to take in at a glance. There is one referencing problem with the BPI (UK) certifications. According to this announcement[3], there have been some changes and I haven't been able to access the archives. A bot added a archive url to my original citation, but it doesn't seem to work. Since only two videos are effected, removing the BPI awards is not a major issue. Have you come across this problem for other artists? —Ojorojo (talk) 16:42, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Variation #3 looks like a winner to me! Regarding the BPI citation, I went to the current web page and searched for "Jimi Hendrix" at this link. I'm no expert on BPI certifications, but there are quite a few results. Not sure if any of your sources are not included in this list. I have not run across this issue with other musicians, but then again, I haven't been back on Wikipedia for very long (and my previous works had to do more with the film industry than the music realm). — Miss Sarita 17:37, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the tables to the #3 format. The UK certification link is chronological by award date and trying to find Hendrix's entries would be very time consuming. I've removed the two entries for now and will continue to look for other sources. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:15, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support: In my opinion, this meets FL standards. (Wish I was alive to see him play in Monterey...I'm only a 40 minute drive from there.) — Miss Sarita 17:40, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Miss Sarita: I've added four gold and platinum certifications that I found while searching for a replacement source for BPI. They show more of the international popularity of Hendrix's DVDs, although some of his strongholds like Germany, Netherlands, Norway, etc., don't have any listings. These should be OK, but you might want to take a look. —Ojorojo (talk) 19:18, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ojorojo: Thanks for letting me know. Just looked it over and everything still looks a-okay to me. :-) — Miss Sarita 21:17, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support – My only qualm with the list is the practice of putting the table references in non-numerical order. This occurs in numerous places in the ref column and strikes me as odd-looking, but that may just be personal preference so I don't want to come down too hard on the issue. The list otherwise looks solid to me. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:16, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Giants2008: It's an easy fix, so I made the changes. Thanks. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:47, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support – The changes look good and that was my only concern, so I'm switching to full support now. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:02, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - tweaked a couple minor things. Also, Source Review passed. --Pres N 15:49, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, since Giants also supported, I'm going to be bold and promote as well. --Pres N 02:11, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through.

Thanks for everyone's input and support. It looks much better for it. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:16, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
