• http://www.dragonforce.com/error/404 deadlinks

Otherwise sources look okay. Links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:34, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

• Y fixed. — Balthazar ^(T|C) 01:39, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose for now - the lead is not like other lists like this. There is no explanation how the band formed. Also, few prose issues.

  • I don't think how the band formed is relevant in a discography; that's what the main page is for. — Balthazar ^(T|C)

Yes, but a small prose should be included per C2 of WP:WIAFL.--S_RX 16:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

• • Their remixed and remastered version of Valley of the Damned was set for release in October, 2007 but has since been postponed and their fourth studio album Ultra Beatdown was released to the world on August 25, 2008. - this doesn't flow well. No comma needed after "October." Comma after "2007. Replace "and" with "while" .....etc. Also, "was released to the world?" Really? Just write "release." — Y done. — Balthazar ^(T|C)
  • in 2006 followed by "Operation Ground and Pound" in the same year. - how about "later that year."? — Y done. — Balthazar ^(T|C)
  • For the Music Videos, I don't like how it says that the director is unknown, has any research been done?
    • I've done quite a lot of searching for the director to no avail. Nowhere mentions the director. — Balthazar ^(T|C) 01:43, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Well at least you tried.--S_RX 16:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

It looks a little better, but I would still like to see the lead expanded for my support.--S_RX 16:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Lead is too short really, it's not engaging per criterion 2 of WP:WIAFL.
  • The tables that say " "—" denotes albums that were released but did not chart." - can you prove each of these were released and failed to chart?
    • I'm fairly sure they were all released worldwide, but I can only readily prove it with Ultra Beatdown; changed to "...that did not chart, or were not released in that country." — Balthazar ^(T|C)
  • Ultra Beatdown row is incomplete (i.e. the final cell is missing its right hand edge). Y Done. — Balthazar ^(T|C)
  • Ref 6 and Ref 11 are not specific. Find alternatives. Y Done. — Balthazar ^(T|C)

I will expand on the lead in about 7–9 hours after some sleep. — Balthazar ^(T|C) 03:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I've expanded on the lead slightly, hopefully enough; I don't think it will go much further without unnecessary padding or going into depth with the line-up changes. — Balthazar ^(T|C) 04:29, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
