List of songs recorded by Bruno Mars

 * Nominator(s): MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:54, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it will help to bring a better understaning of his other contributions, besides his own work. Withing this, the list does not omit anything within its coverage. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:54, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * I would combine the last two sentences of the lead as they are both very short
 * The two versions of "Finesse" are not different songs so should not be listed separately. A note can be added to indicate that only the remix featured Cardi B.
 * Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Issues addressed, please take a look to see if it is fine. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:41, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Comments from SatDis

Well done on the list, I've left just a few comments.
 * The first sentence could be changed to American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars has recorded songs for three studio albums, one extended play (EP) and three soundtrack albums. He has also featured as a guest artist and provided background vocals to other songs.
 * Could change to the creation of this album, which involves subjects of money and sex. Themes would be more like a sentence.
 * The list looks great, but for the yellow boxes, songs with uncredited vocals by Mars, "6 AM" and "Her World Goes On" have a note with reference for his vocals, but "One At a Time" and "Watching Her Move" do not. Is there a source saying he has vocals on these songs? Otherwise it is still uncredited. SatDis (talk) 02:36, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comments, I adressed the first two, regarding your question, unforunately there is not a better souce online available at the moment, because it is uncredited makes it harder to find a source online for it. However, one can listen to the sample of the song and hear his vocals. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That sounds okay to me (unfortunate no sources are available). I will support the nomination. I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave some comments for my featured list review. Thanks. SatDis (talk) 13:08, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Comments by Alexandra
 * The caption to the first image is a sentence fragment, so should not have a period (WP:CAPFRAG)
 * Titles should not sort on "The" (so "The Lazy Song" should sort as "Lazy Song, The"); this can be accomplished with.
 * Similarly, names should sort on family name / last name (so "Alicia Keys" should sort as "Keys, Alicia").
 * Otherwise this looks good - ping me when you've addressed the above and I will have a look at it again.--AlexandraIDV 02:05, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comments, I'm not sure what you want me to do with the family names. Otherwise, I believe I have adressed evertything else. Kind regards, MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:20, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I implemented the change myself - this is so that the table sorting function works properly.--AlexandraIDV 15:39, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

 * File:Bruno Mars Concert Houston 4.jpg, File:B.o.B. performing.jpg, File:Diplo 2014 Press Photo.jpg, File:K'naan by David Shankbone.jpg, File:Mark Ronson on Coke & Olympics, 2012.jpg, and File:Travis mccoy warped 08.jpg are appropriately licensed
 * I can't access file source for File:Andrew Wyatt.jpg. Maybe swap it out for another image of Wyatt.
 * When unable to find any evidence to the contrary, I'll assume good faith that File:Cardi B - Openair Frauenfeld 2019 02.jpg and File:The Stereotypes (Santa Monica).jpg are the uploaders' own work as claimed
 * The lead overly single-centric. I only see one non-single listed ("Welcome Back"). More of those should be added when this isn't supposed to be a singles discography. Among other things, you could identify the tracks from It's Better If You Don't Understand not already metioned by name.
 * I took inspirtion to create this list from "List of songs recorded by Shawn Mendes and Meghan Trainor". However, you make a good point, take a look now and tell me what do you think. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:25, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Better, but still could use more non-singles even if the prose doesn't mention whether they had such distribution. Three doesn't feel like enough. Maybe add some of the ones where he's the only writer. Another thing I forgot to mention earlier is that I'm skeptical about including anything in the tables where he's not credited for singing. The ones where Mars is just listed as having background vocals are fine to keep. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:52, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Added three more. That's a problem because he's not the solo writer if any of his songs. His vocals are not credited, however the sources say his vocals are there. Like MTV, Idolator and others. I already explained that to other user. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:51, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

That's all from me. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:13, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure colons should be used right after "included the singles" like you've done in two different instances.
 * I've adressed your comments. Thanks for it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:25, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

My bad on writing credits; I somehow mixed up the songwriter column with the artist one :P. Anyway, I now support the nomination, and have no objections to the new image of File:AndrewWyattwithguitar.jpg. Media review passes.

Source review – The link-checker tool shows no problems, but there are a couple things I'd like to see improved in the sourcing:
 * Idolator (ref 26) is a blog, and doesn't appear to be a particularly reliable source. Can we come up with something better to support that note?
 * One formatting issue is worth noting: I'm fairly sure the publisher of ref 32 isn't actually the United States. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:24, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, Idolator is listed as an acceptable source at WP:WikiProject Albums/Sources. I'll leave it up to the nominator to decide whether it should be replaced with something else. <b style="color:#009900">SNUGGUMS</b> (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 00:29, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Like SNUGGUMS said, it is acceptable and henceforth I won't change it. I fixed the other issue. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:32, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm convinced on the first item, but there's currently no publisher listed for the other reference. It appears that Amazon should be the publisher in that case. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:08, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You might be conviced, but the wikiproject states otherwise. On the other hand, I fixed the publisher. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:29, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I meant that your argument convinced me. That's why I struck the comment. That's it from me. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:19, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comments and support. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:16, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
