List of songs in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s
previous FLC (18:54, 21 May 2008)

Renominating this list. Previous FLC was not promoted, though all issues presented by reviewers were addressed and no other objections were given. As before, article is in similar format to previous FLs for Guitar Hero I and II. --M ASEM 11:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Support My concerns have been put to rest, and I think it looks goods. Noble Story (talk) 02:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Support Looking good! Drewcifer (talk) 23:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Master recording tab doesn't seem to work in the table. The problem is also present in other Guitar Hero lists. --Mika1h (talk) 20:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I think I know - there's no "text" in that to sort on. Some hidden stuff will fix it - will do RSN. --M ASEM  23:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This list is fixed (master recordings should be sortable) but I will apply the same to the other two lists. --M ASEM 21:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Additional points above have been dealt with. --M ASEM 23:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * "The game [...] The game" &rarr; "The game [...] It"?
 * "the Guitar Hero series, part of" &rarr; "the Guitar Hero series, and is part of"
 * "Rocks the 80s was sold only as a game," &rarr; "Rocks the 80s was sold without a peripheral,"?

 * Fixed, though I'm trying to figure out ways to make "80s was sold without a guitar" more clear, if that's possible. --M ASEM 14:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Last one
 * Ref [1] has the publisher= field, filled out, but it's not rendering in the actual reference. Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 06:50, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually it just had "published" (d, not r) filled in; fixed and also took liberty to link publisher when possible. --M ASEM 12:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment: I just have one objection right now:
 * Please explain how the game itself works in terms of difficulty and tiers. Take a look at List of songs in Guitar Hero. The Main setlist section has a little paragraph that explains the tiers and difficulties. Other than that, I really like this list.--Dem393 (talk) 14:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * One of the earlier comments suggested that the gameplay needed to be cut back, linking to the common gameplay elements section in the main Guitar Hero (series) page. This is sorta conflicting advice.  (I think in GH1 it was fine as there was more to the whole list, as you had extra content.  Here, you just have a list and that's it. )--M ASEM  15:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well...could you at least explain what a tier is? Not everyone who reads this list might know what a tier is, so a little explanation would be helpful. You don't have to explain the various difficulties, I guess.--Dem393 (talk) 15:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Added. --M ASEM 12:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, now I looked this list over again, and I have another comment right now. In the "Controversy" section, please provide the date in which the lawsuit was filed. This way, readers could see this in perspective and think "Gee...this wasn't too long ago! That's why the case hasn't been resolved yet!"--Dem393 (talk) 18:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * While the dates are in the references, I've added month/years for the two key points for reference. --M ASEM 01:47, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks good! Support --Dem393 (talk) 03:24, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments from
 * Ref [1] should be moved to other side of parenthesis.
 * "...which were also sold in a bundle .." why is "also" here if this version wasn't sold in a bundle?
 * "...in one case, parodies works of the 1980s..." in one case then it just parodied one work of the 1980s?
 * "cooperative " or "co-operative "?
 * The "see also" is awkwardly placed - wouldn't a subsection be better?
 * "(Bang Your Head).." sorts first - presumably it shouldn't, but it's doing it because of the parenthesis.
 * Can you fiddle with the col widths so the Encore tiers fit on a single row and the sort button is on the same row for the Year heading (which, incidentally, doesn't look centrally aligned but it may just be me)?
 * Not sure if song links should point at albums.
 * Note 3 is missing a full stop.
 * The Limozeen song does not parody any one specific work of the 80s, it's a style parody as opposed to a song parody. The column widths are consistent with previous tables and with discographies - what this means is that the year column is that short, and unfortunately, the control of the sort gadget is uncontrollable so the titles do end up off-center; the tier column is lined up in a way so that when the column is large enough, the tier numbers and names line up easily, the encores being just the line below it (BRs are used here).  Songs should not point to albums so that has been fixed, as well as the other points. --M ASEM  12:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You can use the sort template innovatively to solve these sort of problems. And as for being consistent with other tables, perhaps they're all wrong.  There's no requirement for the tables to be identical across lists.  The Rambling Man (talk) 13:03, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Support - Looks great! Seems that the comments that were here first have really helped to bring this list to where it should be a featured list. It meets all the criteria, the way I see it. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 01:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
