Linkin Park discography
I've been working on this article for a while now. --Linkins Parkl (talk) 17:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Remove the bold formatting from the lead if you are going to include a link in it, per WP:BOLDTITLE.
 * The reference accessdates should not be linked like however it is done here, because they are showing up as just a bunch of red links; please take a look at Template:Cite web for the template's documentation.
 * Formatting is completely askew in some areas; for instance, "U.S.:Diamond" needs a space (and I think you can just use US to refer to the United States, without the periods)
 * "UK:4x platinum" also needs a space
 * You have "platinum" and "gold" as lowercase but "Diamond" as uppercase?
 * I'm not too familiar with Discography standards, but I fear that list is not meeting a few of them.

 * As another editor has pointed out, this is likely a re-incarnation of another editor which was blocked indefinitely quite recently. They had similar trends in the context that they too provided premature nominations for consideration at FLC/FAC. I don't know what the next step from here will be (i.e. closure of nomination, etc.) so I leave that up for the more experienced in this particular process.

 * I'll "take over" the nomination, and see what further comments I could possibly resolve. Since Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands, I'm sure I could be of assistance here. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  19:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If you wish. I am sure you are more than capable. :) Rudget   ( logs ) 19:05, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

It'll be a shame if the sock is to get credit for it on the WP:WBFLN, though. indopug (talk) 19:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, yes it would, haha... Gary  K ing ( talk ) 19:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

My comments:


 * Remove "Song appearances in media"
 * Music videos needs to be reliable cited.
 * Moved the Videography section to the page Linkin Park videography. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 10:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * " Film album" should be changed to "Videos"
 * Moved the Videography section to the page Linkin Park videography. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 10:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The Demo should not be piped.
 * What do you mean


 * "Hybrid Theory EP" is actually "Hybrid Theory". This is backed up by AllMusic and the album artwork.
 * The band has this as a album on their official homepage. Allmusic is wrong.

Good luck with this Milk's Favorite Cookie. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose, for now. Great start, but I have too may suggestions and complaints to support at the moment. Not quite ready to support just yet, but the list is definitely not oppose-worthy at the moment. Drewcifer (talk) 04:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

The column widths are still inconsistent. The coding for this should be done in the header section of the table. Something along these lines:

And then make sure similar tables use the same width. Those widths are just guestimations though, you'll have to play around with what looks best. Also, you dont need to do the chart column, since that's defined by the number of charts. Also, I noticed that there's no general references citing the discography as a whole. Using Linkin Park's Allmusic discog page would be a good idea. Check out the references seciton of The Prodigy discography for an example of a general references section.

comments
 * "This is a comprehensive discography of Linkin Park," Yuck. "The discography of Linkin Park consists of three studio albums, nine-teen singles, four EP, one Demo and two remix and collaboration albums. Linkin Park are an alternative metal band from Agoura Hills, California. Their discography does not include solo material performed by Mike Shinoda's side project Fort Minor or Chester Bennington's side project Dead By Sunrise." Wikilink where necessary
 * "a Agoura Hills, California based alternative metal band." An Agoura Hills.
 * Mike Shinodas and Chester Benningtons need apostrophies.
 * Who are these two guys? You need to say who the band are, which if you follow my suggestion for an introduction, would go after the Agoura Hills sentence, and before the "Their discog does not include..."
 * "the band has sold more than fifty million albums and won two Grammy Awards and nominated two times." too many ands
 * "Billboars 200" typo and needs wikilinking
 * Wikilink to Billboard Charts
 * Collision Course needs itallicising
 * "second grammy award and the album was certified platinum in the U.S. and the hit single "Numb/Encore" was certified gold in the U.S." Numerous proper name casing issues
 * "Linkin Park is also known for their Underground albums which is only available if you are a member of the Linkin Park Underground." second person tone. Wrong tense. Who knows them for this?
 * The Peak chart position countries header isn't unified. Some use superscript while others do not
 * What do you mean? --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 10:47, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The code for Finland is:
 * The code for Flanders is:
 * Yet the code for France and Germany is:
 * Some county code names are in superscript, but others are not Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 06:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * What format is CS? CD, CS and LP all need wikilinking. Don't we usually use "CD, cassette, vinyl"?
 * Xero needs a reference
 * What the heck is an "underground album"? Are these unofficial releases? Bootlegs? MOS:DISCOG, while in its infancy and proposal stage says "no thanks".
 * Refs for DVDs please
 * Moved the videography section to Linkin Park videography. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 10:41, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't be unhappy to see the music videos gone. A music video is an extension of a single, used to promote. They should be mentioned there and that's it. It's like a radio-friendly version of a single release that the company provides to radio stations. We don't list those. Unless any of the music videos do not coincide with a single release, I say get rid. If not, "Given Up" needs a director.
 * "Song appearances in media" -- Change to "Soundtrack/compilation appearances", and only include anything that was on an actual release, not what was used as background music on CSI. Note that MOS:DISCOG says only list original releases, so anything already found on a Linkin Park album shouldn't be listed here.

 * Strong oppose: Discographies on Wikipedia are not comprehensive unless music videos, video albums etc are included. See any other featured discography. I see absolutely no reason—other than perhaps to evade opposes for uncited music directors—why they should be branched off to a separate videography article. indopug (talk) 18:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong oppose: Per above. This has been a growing problem amongst noms and I think a stand has to be taken. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 16:42, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * In all fairness to the nominator, this is something that is currently still be discussed at the WP:DISCOG talk page. I don't aim to negate your oppose votes, but I would like to point everyone to the larger discussion. Drewcifer (talk) 20:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I can see both advantages and disadvantages in moving the video albums and stuff to a videography in some lists, but not this one because it doesn't make the size of the list offensively large. I did comment that music videos should be removed if they match up with a released single and only list music vids which didn't come with a released single, but I appear to be in the minority with this suggestion! So I'll sit on the fence and go neutral. :-/ Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
