Hoodoo Gurus discography
Discography of Australian iconic rock group, Hoodoo Gurus - is being nominated because I believe that it is complete and well referenced.Dan arndt (talk) 05:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Oppose Definitely a good start, but I honestly see alot of problems. The majority of my issues with the list come from the WP:DISCOG style guideline proposal, so I'd recommend looking there for further suggestions, specfically the examples at the end. Here's a few of the issues I see:

I edited it a bunch myself, feel free to revert if you dislike my changes. I still feel like there's more work to be done, so I'll take another fresh look soon. Drewcifer (talk) 06:10, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

That's it for now. Drewcifer (talk) 05:37, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Oppose: Completely contradictory to existing discography standards. indopug (talk) 09:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose, not enough in-line citations for the list itself. GreenJoe 00:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Point of clarification: do you mean that each column heading should have a ref e.g. Album details or do you mean that each individual line in the Album details column should have its own ref? Then similarly for other tables. Or have I missed your point entirely?Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments So it's an oppose for now due to MOS and prose issues Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 08:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * "This article is a comprehensive listing of all official releases" Couple of issues with this one, firstly, if it were to be featured, it's comprehensiveness is a given, per the criteria, so that doesn't need to be mentioned. Nor does "all official releases", because if they're not official, the shouldn't be listed, and if there are any official releases that are missing, again it shouldn't be featured.
 * Go for simply "This is a discography of Hoodoo Gurus". But also read over Wikipedia_talk:FLC. Perhaps a better opening would be "The discography of the Hoodoo Gurus consists of eight studio albums, thirty-two singles, one extended play, six 'compilation' albums and four video/DVD releases." You could then go on to say that the Hoodoos are Australian and previously known as Le Hoodoo Gurus.
 * Instead of "(aka Le Hoodoo Gurus until after first single)", how about removing the parentheses and making a sentence out of it, such as, "for their first single, the group was called "Le Hoodoo Gurus""?
 * Missing/extra punctuation: "Hoodoo Gurus debut release was the single, "Leilani", in October 1982, Hoodoo Gurus first album Stoneage Romeos was released in 1984." → "Hoodoo Gurus' debut release was the single "Leilani" in October 1982; their first album, Stoneage Romeos was released in 1984."
 * no comma needed after "'Best cover art'"
 * For "Live recordings and compilations", use "Aus peak chart positions"


 * I've had an attempt to cover these Comments and hope I've got all the ones listed here. I changed a number of AUS to Aus not just in the "Live recordings and compilations" one for consistency.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
