G-Unit discography
I have been working on this for the last few days and have re-done all of the charts and added all relevant info. The list is now as complete as possible. All information such as sales, certifications and chart positions are very well sourced. Deserves to be a featured list. --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   15:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * Too much discussion on G-Unit. "The group's members all grew up in the same neighbourhood, they rapped and sold drugs together." This is not neccessary. Keep it to the discography.
 * Music video directors needs reliable sources.
 * There are a number of redundant? "Released:" on this article.
 * The "Thisis50.com" table has a redundant row.

Look's good though. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 16:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the comments. I have worked on the thinsg that you have pointed out. In the Intro I have removed the line that you have quoted but have kept most of it per other featured discographies such as the ones talked about above. Also, MVD Base has been used as a reference for Music Video Directors in other Featured Lists such as 50 Cent discography. Also, I have added references using youtube videos uploaded by the official Universal Music Group channel. The directors specified in the video summary match the ones provided by MVD. The extra row has been removed. However the "Released" are still there because it is virtually impossible to find exact release dates for all of those mixtapes. I'm not sure if the "Released" field should be removed or kept incase dates are found. What do you think?


 * Remove the release field. You need to add all directors in for music videos. MVDbase is not WP:RS, and it shouldn't be in the 50 Cent discography. Is "Over 41" precise enough? Also, the infobox order of release types should be the same as that of the titles in this article. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 10:33, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have removed the released field & re-ordered the infobox but the fields seem to be staying in the same order. MVDBase is actually correct in all of its listings. All of the directors that it lists are the same as the directors named on Universal Music Group's official video channel. I know the director of "My Buddy" but cant find the link - ill keep looking. --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   11:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Avoid small text.

 * Comments II
 * Who says "the most prominent of these being 50 Cent Is the Future, God's Plan, No Mercy, No Fear and Automatic Gunfire." is true? And if so, why is Automatic Gunfire without an article?

 * "...n the United States[11] and, as of July 25, 2008, 194,000 copies worldwide." - is worldwide excluding United States? Not clear.
 * I had this info in before and you told me to have it as a footnote - see footnote & above.


 * " 2× platinum" in lead, "2× Platinum" in the table. Choose one.
 * ✅ --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   20:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't soundtrack "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" be in italics? And as I said before other discogs are bolding all of the titles.  And what formats was the soundtrack released in?
 * ✅ --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   20:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * "Reviews: All Music" - this has an in-line link which is to be avoided in featured material.
 * ✅ --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   20:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Still too much small text - there's absolutely no need to use smaller text, it just makes it more difficult for people to read.
 * ✅ --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   20:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Most other discogs us US and not U.S.
 * ✅ --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   20:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * What is the title of the second col in the mixtapes section supposed to represent?
 * ✅ --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   20:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * "Label: G-Unit/Shadyville" is repeated on every single mixtape in the first table - not really necessary, is it? Say it once and say it applies throughout.
 * ✅ --  ¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤   20:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * "Other notable mixtapes" - who says they're notable? Three of them don't even have refs.
 * Bad Guys stuff is completely unreferenced as well. In fact, 90% of the mixtapes are unreferenced.
