Nominator(s): Prism △ 17:38, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I have worked a lot on it, which was hard since Ellis-Bextor has a musical career since the 1990's. I also want to promote the most articles related to her as they are of degraded condition. Please comment, it would really mean a lot to me and when you decide to support or oppose, please present your reasons and commentary so I can improve the list. Thank you in advance.

Comments from WikiRedactor[edit]

  • Put parentheses around the "pictured" in each image.
    • Done.
  • Maybe instead of "0-9" in the contents key, a number sign would do the trick?
    • It works! (you mean this [#], right?)
  • Drop "the" in the very first sentence of the article.
    • Removed.

And after looking through the rest of the list, I really have nothing else to add. I definitely support the nomination! WikiRedactor (talk) 21:00, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! :) Prism △ 21:09, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from WonderBoy1998[edit]

  • I am going to support this article since it's concise and well-referenced work. However two points→ (1) who had their single "I Know Enough (I Don't Get Enough)" reach the top 25 on the UK Singles Chart - It sounds as if they paid the company to make their single reach the top 25. Why not go for simpler wording, like whose single reached the ..... (2) I'm a little put off by the focus on the charting of the songs and especially the albums in the lead, since they are not really important to the subject of the list. I would appreciate more focus on the sounds and composition of the album and how they tie into her choice of colabs. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 08:17, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*Captions which are not complete sentences should not end in full stops, per WP:CAPWORD.
    • Removed the full stop from the first caption.
  • Single and promo single releases should be sourced.
    • They are already.
      • "Catch You", "Starlight" and "Take Me Home" aren't. And what is a "promotional CD single" ("Runaway Daydreamer")? Adabow (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "pictured" in captions should be enclosed by commas, or (preferably) brackets.
    • They are already. Parentheses are brackets.
  • People should be sorted by surname, using {{sortname}}.
    • I don't know how to do this, could you help me please? However, other featured lists don't have this. See List of songs recorded by Katy Perry.
      • Done, see now when the Artist column is sorted, SEB is sorted under 'E', and The Feeling under 'F'? Adabow (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Similarly, titles beginning with "The" should be sorted using {{sortname}} (i.e. "The Deer & The Wolf" would be sorted under 'D', not 'T').
    • I have moved those according to the first letter of the second word.
  • I think Theaudience should be written with a capital 'T', since it is a name. This differs from iPod, which has a capitalised second letter (do correct me if I'm wrong here).
    • Done, I just had it as theaudience because it was stylized as that.
  • Perhaps B-sides that don't feature on an album could have a footnote next to "n/a" in their respective album cells.
    • How?
  • Some ambiguous links which need fixing

  • @Adabow: Could you please respond to my comments above? Thank you in advance. Prism △ 17:16, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the table of contents should contain links to Footnotes and References. Numbers come before 'A' per WP:ALPHA. Adabow (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Adabow: I think I have done everything. Could you check and then tell me if you support or oppose this FLC? Prism △ 21:40, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Decodet[edit]

  • Ref 13 has its title missing.

Other than that, I didn't see any major issues in the article so I'm more than happy to support it. Good job! :) decodet. (talk) 16:07, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Cirt[edit]

I'd like to see inline-citations to back up the assertions in the Notes sect. I'll mention if there's anything else, but otherwise looks pretty good. — Cirt (talk) 04:46, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Cirt: They are all sourced now. Will you support the FLC now? Prism △ 17:39, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Quite well referenced, thank you. — Cirt (talk) 18:41, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from SnapSnap[edit]

  • In the lead, I think "including collaborations with other artists" sounds better than "some of which were collaborations with other artists"
  • You should probably replace "indie music" with something less ambiguous, like "indie rock"
    • Done and done!

Aside from these minor quibbles, the article covers all significant aspects of the topic. I support your nomination. SnapSnap 18:48, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Prism △ 18:53, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from SchroCat

  • The artist column for "Sophia Loren" sorts on Sophie, rather than Ellis
    • Done.
  • FN 54 "August 13, 2001" and "March 3, 2014" are in an inconsistent date format
    • Done.
  • Not sure we need "pictured" in the image text (surely that's obvious?)
    • I have removed them except for the ones it's really needed. Prism △ 19:32, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A couple more

  • As this is written in BrEng, it should use the definite article when describing people, thus "The English recording artist", "the indie rock band Theaudience", etc
  • "However" shouldn't really start a sentance (and probably shouldn't be in there anyway: it doesn't aid understanding.
  • "On 28 March 2005, a": on this and in a couple of subsequent places, you don't need to post-date comma (a horrible Americanism)
  • "credited as Mademoiselle E.B.—, titled": you need to just check out the punctuation there. Is the comma and space an error, or part of the nom de plume?

- SchroCat (talk) 19:46, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have done all. Prism △ 20:32, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's great. I've got nothing else to add to this. As an FL delegate I won't add my formal support, but if someone else doesn't close this by the morning, I'll do it. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 22:46, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
