Justin Timberlake discography

I am nominating this for featured list because... I think it satisfies the FLC criteria. Timberlake's discography was pretty much in a good shape thanks to and his regular updates; additionally I added more information, formatted well the references, added some sales and sourced throughout the article. With this shape at the moment I really think it has a very good potential in earning a bronze star. — Tomíca (T2ME) 21:51, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments from WikiRedactor

 * Five external links to correct.
 * I fixed the dead ones, and only the Warn are left, although I tried to fix them too, I don't know what's the problem with 'em. However, the links are opening :). — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:03, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that Justin can be called a singer-songwriter in the first paragraph because he writes all of his music, although if this creates some kind of conflict with other editors, feel free to ignore this point.
 * Done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:03, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Singer-songwriter is for folk singer ("the term singer-songwriter describes a distinct form of artistry, closely associated with the folk-acoustic tradition"), Timberlake is a singer and a songwriter but I wouldn't consider him folk-acoustic. I would reconsider this or just change it to be "singer and songwriter". I say this because there was a huge discussion about it at Miley Cyrus. LADY LOTUS • TALK 13:02, 24 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I like to see US and UK written out as the United States and the United Kingdom when it is used as a noun (as opposed to an adjective for charts.)
 * Done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:03, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I believe it is common practice to write US as U.S. (with the punctuation) when it is used as an adjective.
 * I think that's a personal choice whatever you choose to use, only it has to be consistent through the whole article. I kinda prefer US instead of U.S. tbh hehe :). — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:03, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

I can't spot any issues in the article, it looks well-developed and nicely written in my view! WikiRedactor (talk) 16:28, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you ;) ! —  Tomíca (T2ME) 19:03, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments from SnapSnap

 * I think the abbreviation for Netherlands should be "NL", as "NLD" seems to refer to the country's original Dutch-language name (Nederland);
 * In the As guest artist subsection, there's a link (ref 22) to the NZ chart source under "NLD";
 * You should remove the "...which acts as a 25-song extension to the Hot 100" sentence from this note per WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS.
 * All three done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:03, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Everything else looks fine in my eyes. :)  SN▲P •  SN▲P  18:10, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments from SNUGGUMS

 * It might help including time ranges for when Timberlake worked with NSYNC
 * Done — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * As much as I understand WikiRedactor's statement on "singer-songwriter", there was a huge debate about the use of that term on Mariah Carey's article which lead to an RFC at WP:WikiProject Music. Consensus was that the term is used to describe folk/acoustic singers like James Taylor and Joni Mitchell who write/compose/etc. their own material. It's best to describe Timberlake as a singer and songwriter or just simply singer.
 * Whatever. I made it singer and songwriter — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * In the lead, there's no need to state the number of singles each album produced- that detail instead belongs on their respective album articles
 * It doesn't hurt nobody though, just make the prose read better — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Rather than a number of years Timberlake's music hiatus was, it would be better to give year ranges.
 * Tried but the prose became poor, it's better like this... people can't count 2006-2013 = 7 years — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I understand citing release dates for material that doesn't have separate articles, but any particular reason why the albums with articles have sourced release dates when songs with own articles don't?
 * There was one user in one discussion who wanted to see release dates for the albums in the tables, nothing mentioned for the single. Personally, I don't prefer them. — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * In that case, may as well remove the refs from those with articles  Snuggums ( talk  /  edits ) 19:58, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Done, I removed them. —  Tomíca (T2ME) 11:21, 10 November 2014 (UTC)


 * For the release date citations, I'd see what else is available aside from iTunes/Amazon.com. While definitely not bad to use for citing release dates, secondary sources tend to be preferred when available.
 * New York Post isn't exactly the best of sources and shouldn't be used
 * The release is so rare so that's the only source in found it with a release date in it. —  Tomíca (T2ME) 19:50, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

This list is in decent shape, just needs a bit of touching up before it becomes FL.  Snuggums ( talk  /  edits ) 19:08, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Support very good work!  Snuggums ( talk  /  edits ) 16:33, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments from Erick
Hello Tomica! I will go ahead and have a look at the list and give my input. First thing I want to point out before I do is that I noticed you have a "as of sales" for UK but not the US, why? Erick (talk) 22:51, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey (Erick) thanks for the note... I fixed them and there are 'as of sales' for all the references that provide clear date. For all the others that only have accessdate I left them just with a reference by themselves. —  Tomíca (T2ME) 11:22, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Having looked at the list extensively twice, I can see no further issues with it. Given that you've already addressed everyone else's comments, I will give my support. The only small suggestion I have is to remove Discogs from the external links since it's a user-generated site and Allmusic is probably sufficient enough. Erick (talk) 16:47, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Status already removed it, thank you Erick, I really appreciate your input here :). — Tomíca (T2ME) 18:39, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
