Bruce Dickinson discography

 * Nominator(s):   Rockk3r       Spit it Out! 

I am nominating this for featured list because, in my opinion, it meets the FL criteria. The lead gives a quick overview of the whole article (from main albums to singles, videos, compilations etc.).  Rockk3r      Spit it Out!  20:16, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * In 1979, after playing in some local groups, he joined hard rock band, Samson, where he gained some fame - overuse of the word "some".
 * In July 1991 was released Dive! Dive! Live!, a live video recorded from a concert in Los Angeles, California, on August 1990. - This sentence is incomplete, unless I'm missing something.
 * In 2006 was released the compilation DVD, Anthology, which contained three live performances, all the music videos, and over an hour of extras. - Same with above.
 * Released as a double-disc set. The first CD was recorded live in the studio, and the second one at the Marquee Club[23] The album peaked at #96 in the UK. - Punctuation is missing here.
 * Also, consistency within the accessdates should be checked; for example, some are in the "YYYY-MM-DD" format, while others use the "DD-month-YYYY" format. –  Juliancolton  | Talk 20:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 *  All Done I fixed all the mistakes found.   Rockk3r       Spit it Out!  23:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good, thanks. – Juliancolton  | Talk 00:45, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose due to a lack of cowbell. What makes "Book of Hours" a reliable source? -- Scorpion 0422  21:01, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The Book of Hours page cites their sources, so it's most likely reliable (I was wondering the same). – Juliancolton  | Talk 21:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Review by 
 * Lead
 * In 1979, after playing in some local groups, he joined hard rock band, Samson, where he rose to fame; but departed two years later to become Iron Maiden's lead vocalist. -- Remove the comma before Samson
 * Despite reaching the top 30 in many countries, the album was "somewhat of a disappointment", which failed to "come up with anything truly groundbreaking", except for "Tears of the Dragon"—released as single, along with "Shoot All the Clowns". -- add a before single
 * Tribe of Gypsies departed to continue with their work and Dickinson tracked down a new band, with whom was released the double-disc live performance, Alive in Studio A. -- no need for the was
 * In 1996 was released the third album, Skunkworks, which marked a "highly approved stylistic shift." -- comma after 1996, and the beginning needs rewording because it makes no sense
 * From a concert in Spain, were recorded both, an EP and a live video,—released only in Japan—under the name Skunkworks Live. -- this also makes no sense
 * The next year was released a semi-concept album on alchemy, The Chemical Wedding, described as a "modern metal aesthetic". -- the next year was released make no sense
 * In late 2001, was released a "best of…" album, which included rarities and two new songs, "Broken"—released as single—and "Silver Wings". -- ___(what?) was released?
 * On May 23, 2005, Dickinson released his first in seven years, Tyranny of Souls—which included the single "Abduction".  -- his first (what?)
 * Live/compilation/video albums/box sets
 * The notes are not complete sentences, and as a result do not warrant full stops
 * Singles
 * Does the general ref verify those singles that did not chart?
 * The fact that they didn't chart doesn't mean they weren't released.  Rockk3r       Spit it Out!  04:29, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, but what is verifying their existence?-- T ru  c o   13:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "Man of Sorrows" and "Killing Floor" were Japanese release only, therefore they couldn't chart. Now I'm looking for the other two.  Rockk3r       Spit it Out!  15:56, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * But what verifies those Japanese's tracks existence? -- T ru  c o   18:18, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "Killing Floor" - reference here in allmusic. Aciddent of Birth's cover was created by Derek Riggs, who also created the "Man of Sorrows" single cover. see here   Rockk3r       Spit it Out!  04:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I removed the two singles that had no reference.   Rockk3r       Spit it Out!  19:22, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * References
 * Be consistent with the linking of the publishers, link all or none.
 * What makes prog archives reliable? -- T ru c o  01:47, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

All done   Rockk3r       Spit it Out!  04:50, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

 * IMDb is not a reliable source.
 * IMDb is not a reliable source because they do not have a reputation for fact checking. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What makes http://www.sacktrick.com/disco.htm a reliable source?
 * It's like saying "what makes http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=22 a reliable source?"   Rockk3r       Spit it Out!  00:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't realize that Sack Trick was a band :/ Dabomb87 (talk) 00:46, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The Billboard refs are formatted inconsistently, they should be formatted like the ref 28. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Is http://www.screamforme.com/discography.htm an official website? Dabomb87 (talk) 13:17, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, although it doesn't look very professional, it is Bruce Dickinson's official website.   Rockk3r       Spit it Out!  17:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
