    • Their next studio album. Start Something, earned Lostprophets international success, selling 2.5 million copies worldwide and achieving gold certification in the United States and platinum in the UK. - 1) The period should be removed after album and replaced with a comma, and then continue the next sentence. Also consider then, splitting the sentence because it is relatively long.
    • Are their any sources verifying the EPs?

  • Comments - here we go again...
    • "The band formed in 1997 in the Welsh town of Pontypridd.[2] Lostprophets formed with two members " - formed, formed... reword.
  • Fixed
    • "Both member initially" - members?
  • Fixed
    • "although Watkins quit as soon as 1998" in 1998?
  • Fixed
    • "Lewis (who did not leave Public Disturbance until 2000) playing bass,[3]" - where's the rest of the sentence?
  • Fixed
    • "became an underground success" what does this mean?
  • Removed
    • "Their ..." - you talked about the band in the singular throughout, be consistent.
    • "Lostprophets won the NME award for Best Metal Group in 2002.[5]" - what relevance to the discog?
  • Removed
    • No need to link dates in the albums table etc.
  • Fixed
    • I don't see ref 10 telling me that Thefakesoundofprogress was released in Ireland at all. Check all of these, because you said they were released and didn't chart. Prove it.
  • Fixed
    • Same for all singles in all charts.
  • Fixed
    • Ref 1 doesn't have a URL but it does have an accessdate, what's going on?
  • Fixed
  • "the band's sound incorporates nu metal, hard rock and alternative metal elements" <- mentions of a band's genre is always going to be subject to people arbitrarily changing it based on how it sounds to their own ears, so you should probably find a cite for this to make arguing over it more difficult.
  • Fixed
  • NME, BBC, etc, should be linked in the refs. naerii 12:47, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • First two sentences need a space
  • WP:OVERLINKING on Welsh
  • Lead switches from singular to plural tense when mentioning the band. "The band were was established"
  • UK spelling on "debut" please ("début")
  • What is a "hardcore band"?
  • Is Mike Lewis still in Public Disturbance?
  • "Their next studio album. Start Something," change the full stop to a comma
  • ""—" denotes releases that did not chart." So they were all definitely released in those markets, then?
