Joel Turner discography
Self-nomination. I am the sole editor (except four minor edits) and have created the list in a month. I believe it meets all attributes of the featured list criteria and I'm willing to address all concerns for support. Thanks! Hpfan9374 (talk) 10:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak support - after the many fixes it looks more better and meets the FL criteria, but I dont fully support it due to the fact that it should have been peer reviewed before being brought here, and due to the many comments that were needed to be fixed, but a support is a support :)-- S R X  20:25, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you SRX. When I edit other discographies, I will make sure I use this format and peer review them beforehand. Your comments have been very helpful. Thanks again! Hpfan9374 (talk) 21:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * There are several codes for you copy and paste at Joel Turner discography, edit this page to see them. ↓

 * DVDs → Video albums
 * "—" denotes releases that did not chart. → (?) all did charts
 * Discogs is not a reliable source
 * Thank you for your comments, I have made necessary edits, yet I have chosen not to use the codes, as the previous format has received support for featured-list status by User:SRX. Hpfan9374 (talk) 08:52, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments The grammar in the lead is a bit clumsy, for example:
 * numerous music videos - clearly there are six videos
 * Indeed, I have changed "in addition to numerous music videos" to in "addition to six music videos"
 * including number-one single - including a number one single
 * Changed. Thanks.
 * when was second album released - released in 2005
 * I have included the release year of the second album, in the sentence.
 * yet it produced single - yet it produced a single
 * Changed. Thanks.

In the Singles Table replace non-album single with single-only release. Dan arndt (talk) 08:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have made all the necessary edits. Thank you very much for your comments Dan arndt, you are improving both the article and my knowledge.

Additional Comments
 * In the article on Joel Turner it states that "These Kids" achieved double platinum status (in the article on the single it states that it achieved close to triple platinum) - could this not be referenced & included in the Singles Table
 * The statement in the article on Joel Turner is incorrect. The single has been certified platinum status. I have referenced this and added this statement to the singles table.
 * Did any of the other singles released by Joel Turner achieve any significant certification?
 * No, no other singles release by Joel Turner has achieved any significant certification.
 * A number of references indicate that the respective albums and singles charted on the AIR independent charts - could these not also be included on the tables.
 * I am trying but I cannot seem to find any peak positions, they are mere chart listings. I have tried [here]; yet as per Wikipedia's Manual of Style guideline, Record charts; "component charts should not be used in the tables, unless the song fails to enter the main chart". And as most (all except one) releases entered the main charts, thus I don't believe the AIR independent charts should be included within the discography.
 * Were any of the albums/singles ever released overseas or were they only AUS releases?
 * No, none of his albums/singles were ever released overseas.

 * Thank you very much comments again. The only problem is with the AIR independent charts. Hpfan9374 (talk) 10:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Image in Infobox - could you provide a caption indicating where the phto was taken and the date.

Dan arndt (talk) 04:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Have created a caption in the infobox, "Joel Turner performing at South Bank Parklands in Brisbane on December 9, 2007.".


 * Support with two comments:
 * It is mentioned that Turner came to prominence following an audition for Australian Idol, yet he never made the show. Perhaps it would be good to make mention of this, and the fact that he performed at the Grand Final as the "best of the unforgettables"?
 * The fact that Turner came to prominence following an audition for Australian Idol is stated in the lead "Turner came to prominence after auditioning in the first season of Australian Idol in 2003." The fact that Turner performed at the Grand Final is also stated in the lead "to coincide with his performance at the finale of the second season of Australian Idol."
 * It seems odd to me that mention is made of his lowest charting single. While several that charted higher are not mentioned.  I'm not sure anything really has to change with this statement, it just jumped out at me.
 * Turner's lowest charting single was only mentioned as it was released as an independent single and thus was not included on any albums. Higher charting singles, "These Kids" and "City of Dreams" are mentioned.

Anyway, good work. Resolute 02:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Refs 2, 3, 5 and 6 need to have their dates sorted out so they're not in ISO format for the reader. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thankyou very much for your comments, The Rambling Man. I have edited refs 2, 3, 5 and 6 and they are now in ISO format. Thanks! Hpfan9374 (talk) 09:17, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
