Faith No More discography
The Discography for Faith No More. I'm nominating it because I believe it to be complete and well referenced. — Balthazar  (T 18:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Support After chasing down a million of my innane suggestions, I'm happy to finally support. Very nice work! Drewcifer (talk) 20:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose, I don't see enough citations. GreenJoe 23:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There are many featured discography's with less citations. I've added some more citations to it. — Balthazar  (T 05:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * No need for "This article is a comprehensive listing of all official releases" If featured, comprehensiveness is assumed, and a discog shouldn't contain unofficial releases either,
 * So if anything, simply "This is the discography of Faith No More", but before that, read Wikipedia_talk:Featured_list_candidates
 * Per WP:LS, don't link the bold text
 * Kerrang! is a magazine, so should be italicised.
 * "Number 1", not "#1"
 * But actually, don't do that at all, because they weren't number 1 in every territory they were released. Or you could state where they were number 1, I suppose
 * Move "Throughout this article, "—" in the Charts cell indicates that the selected release did not chart, or was not released in that country." from the album section to the Lead section, as it applies to every section, not just albums
 * Include catalog numbers for the albums and compilations
 * I'd prefer to see the certifications columns combined into one, so for The Real Thing, it'd be something like
 * RIAA: Platinum
 * CRIA: Platinum
 * BPI: Silver

 * Include a link to Music recording sales certification
 * Move the ARIA certification reference from the cell, to the header as they are for RIAA, CRIA and BPI
 * Remove the singles column from the compilations table and move them to the Singles table
 * I'm not sure if this applies here as I know nothing about the group, but make sure only original recordings are in the "Soundtrack contributions" section, rather than songs that have been licensed from albums. Might be worth renaming the section "Other appearances" per other discogs
 * Fixed all those, The contents of the "Soundtrack contributions" was "Other appearances" but that got changed. — Balthazar  (T 19:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

More comments. Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 02:15, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you find a free-use image for the infobox? If not, this will be the only Featured discog without.
 * For some reason the Header text in the infobox is squashed. See this snapshot image of the page to see what I mean.
 * To be fair, Nation of Ulysses discography doesn't have an image. Drewcifer (talk) 04:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh. Well, it'd still be nice! [[Image:Face-grin.svg|25px]] -- Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 04:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The squashed header text is rendering error, no idea what's causing it, I've only seen it a few times and it goes when I refresh or resize the window. — Balthazar  (T 17:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm still not liking the "This is a discography.." as the intro sentence. The reader knows that from the title. How about "The discography of Faith No More, an American alternative rock group consists of six studio albums, eighteen singles...."
 * done. — Balthazar  (T 22:11, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Can you find cites for the music video directors?
 * Aside from the credits on their music video compilation release? — Balthazar  (T 22:11, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, that works fien, I think Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 15:31, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Extra line after "Studio albums"

Gary King ( talk ) 04:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The clear was there to stop the first table and the infobox overlapping at certain resolutions. It was of more use before I added the extra paragraph to the lead. Removed. —  Balthazar  (T 22:11, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I now wholeheartedly support
 * I had some qualms about the prose in the lead, but I'm rewriting that.
 * I don't really think "which has been called the most influential album of all time by Kerrang!" is really necessary here. Is that kind of thing normal in discography articles?
 * I'm not sure. — Balthazar  (T 20:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I don't think we should be including just one critical opinion on that album here, and none that are less enthusiastic about that album, nor anything about any of the others. It's cherry-picking critical response, and I don't think any critical response is needed here. Tuf-Kat (talk) 21:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Removed, I also added a part on their many compilation albums to the lead. — Balthazar  (T 22:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, looks good! Tuf-Kat (talk) 22:58, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Support - Added some fixes, changed some stuff about. Music videos are now cited. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * does this include compilation albums and singles released from the soundtracks? because "The Perfect Crime" was only on the soundtrack and 12 years later on a compilation and "Another Body Murdered" was released as a single from the soundtrack it was recorded for. —  Balthazar  (T 20:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Good point. I have added them back in but not under the title of soundtrack contributions. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 10:31, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
