Talk:The Strokes discography

Summary
Shouldn't the summary be a brief summation of the Strokes discography (i.e. the total number of EPs, music videos, singles, etc.) instead of all the extra information about each album and how they each fared among the public? All of that information is already accessible on the individual album pages (The Modern Age, Is This It, Room On Fire, First Impressions of Earth, Angles) and on the group's main article. Why is it necessary to have it here as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EGorodetsky (talk • contribs) 04:09, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Every article should be self-sufficient to an extent. Suppose somebody who knows nothing about The Strokes comes across this page, he should be able to understand the importance and status of the band.—indopug (talk) 11:15, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Split singles table to reduce clutter of notes
Currently the singles chart table has a ton of footnotes because the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart was not added until 2009. Would it make sense to split the chart in half? The first half would be 2000s singles and the second half would be 2010s and onward. This would allow us to change hot rock to alternative airplay for the pre-2010s era and remove a huge clutter of notes. Song7 (talk) 05:12, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

I think using the US Alternative Airplay works better than the Rock chart and looking at its Wikipedia page it's being archived since 1988 so there would be less need for footnotes if we just swapped the charts, I believe it was used on the page for quite a while until some on changed it.

 * That makes sense, but don't the guidelines say that the hot rock & alternative songs chart supersedes the alternative airplay chart? I'm not familiar with what room there is for exceptions, especially if reverting a current state? Song7 (talk) 16:26, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Found the version used before the change, I for one think it's tidier, I'll leave it here to see if there's more discussion before changing.

 * The first half of the chart certainly looks better, but I think if it went this direction that would be sacrificing modern metrics and essentially locking their discography in the past. For example, "The Adults Are Talking" is currently their most popular song on Spotify and that popularity is reflected in the song reaching no. 8 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The alternative radio play downplays the way the band has reached modern audiences in the newer metrics. If we decide to use just Alternative Airplay, or follow the current guidelines and maintain the current Hot Rock, format I believe that's making a value judgement on which era of the band is more important. That's why I think splitting the chart into two eras makes sense to me. If we do revert to only the more antiquated Alternative Airplay chart I think we need to do so acknowledging that introduces limitations.
 * Sorry, that was long winded! What are your thoughts? Song7 (talk) 21:03, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy with either outcome I guess. OBLIVIUS (talk) 11:36, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned references in The Strokes discography
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Strokes discography's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Mexico": From First Impressions of Earth:  From Angles (The Strokes album):  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
