Alanis Morissette discography

 * Nominator(s): Cannot (talk) 21:31, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Re-written discography of Alanis Morissette, with actual sales data and charts positions, and also added a lot of information, like music videos directors, collaborations, etc. Cannot (talk) 21:31, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Oppose on the lead only at this point...


 * " Jagged stayed there for 12 weeks and remained in the Top 10 for over a year" no refs? I've put the reference for 12 weeks, but can't find for the rest, but I've just looked through billboard archives, it spent 67 weeks consecutive in the top ten. I'll be looking for it again.
 * OK, I've looked it through week-by-week and put references. I guess it's enough since Billboard allows to check any week. --Cannot (talk) 14:21, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Oppose: only a couple problems though. Once these are fixed I'll pass it.
 * Problems with the lead:
 * Ref needed showing her as the first Canadian to top the Billboard 200.
 * Where is the link saying the video for "Thank U" was controversial?
 * The EP and the video albums section are the same type of table, yet their headers are different. Pick one and be consistent.
 * According to WikiProject Discographies/style, the charts should be ordered by the artist's home country first. If the article says she's from Canada, shouldn't the Canadian chart be first?
 * Well, now that she's Canadian-American, I thought there was not much of a difference? Correct me if it's strictly necessary.
 * I personally do not care, but some users can be very picky.


 * Also, according to that style guide, shouldn't the certifications and sales figures have bullets? I see only the singles section has bullets.
 * I've just read it again and it said nothing about bullets. I can see it in some discographies though, and if it's strictly necessary I will do it. But even in the WP:DISCOGSTYLE there are no bullets.
 * Oh, dang. I must of messed up there. I apologize.


 * Why does the Compilation albums table have a section for certifications if there are none?
 * For the "Other appearances" section, should the artist name featuring Alanas be under the song title? I looked at a few other FL's (Taylor Swift discography and Kesha discography) and this is how it is formatted.
 * Well, among the songs listed there are very few released as singles. As far as I can make out, both Taylor Swift's and Kesha's discographies list the singles where these singers are "featured artists". These are just appearences, not singles.
 * I was referring to the formatting. Here's an example song:


 * Your way looks better to me, but then again, she collaborated with the same artists on several songs. 3 songs w/ Tricky, 3 songs with Ringo Starr, 4 with Jonathan Elias, a few "various artists" appearances. I don't really know if it's very necessary, correct me if I'm wrong.


 * The Videos section should be called "Videography"
 * Need references for Dennis Beauchamp directing the two music videos.
 * Oh God, this is nearly impossible. This is written on the booklet of her early Canadian albums when she was not a megastar. I have no idea where to get this information about her early videos, I've been digging the Internet like crazy. It may be in her biography books, which I don't have.
 * I did a search on google books and found this. I only skimmed through it and saw his name. Check it out and see if it can help. If not, try a library or if amazon.com has the books for cheap/preview.


 * Website should not be italicized in the references. For example, I see you have MTV.com. It should be MTV.com instead. I also saw another minor mistakes for the references. Double check them.
 * I never specifically italicize this, I used the cite_web template and put MTV.com as "work" and MTV Networks as "publisher". How is that wrong?''
 * if you put two apostrophes before and after, it cancels out the italics.
