 * Comments
 * Their next studio album. Start Something, earned Lostprophets international success, selling 2.5 million copies worldwide and achieving gold certification in the United States and platinum in the UK. - 1) The period should be removed after album and replaced with a comma, and then continue the next sentence. Also consider then, splitting the sentence because it is relatively long.
 * Are their any sources verifying the EPs?


 * Comments - here we go again...
 * "The band formed in 1997 in the Welsh town of Pontypridd.[2] Lostprophets formed with two members " - formed, formed... reword.
 * Fixed


 * "Both member initially" - members?
 * Fixed


 * "although Watkins quit as soon as 1998" in 1998?
 * Fixed


 * "Lewis (who did not leave Public Disturbance until 2000) playing bass,[3]" - where's the rest of the sentence?
 * Fixed


 * "became an underground success" what does this mean?
 * Removed


 * "Their ..." - you talked about the band in the singular throughout, be consistent.
 * "Lostprophets won the NME award for Best Metal Group in 2002.[5]" - what relevance to the discog?
 * Removed


 * No need to link dates in the albums table etc.
 * Fixed


 * I don't see ref 10 telling me that Thefakesoundofprogress was released in Ireland at all. Check all of these, because you said they were released and didn't chart.  Prove it.
 * Fixed


 * Same for all singles in all charts.
 * Fixed


 * Ref 1 doesn't have a URL but it does have an accessdate, what's going on?
 * Fixed

 * "the band's sound incorporates nu metal, hard rock and alternative metal elements" <- mentions of a band's genre is always going to be subject to people arbitrarily changing it based on how it sounds to their own ears, so you should probably find a cite for this to make arguing over it more difficult.
 * Fixed


 * NME, BBC, etc, should be linked in the refs.  naerii  12:47, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * What makes the following reliable sources?
 * http://www.chartstats.com/index.php
 * http://acharts.us/
 * http://www.trht.net/
 * Sources that are not in English need to have their language listed in the reference.
 * Otherwise sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:31, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * First two sentences need a space
 * WP:OVERLINKING on Welsh
 * Lead switches from singular to plural tense when mentioning the band. "The band were was established"
 * UK spelling on "debut" please ("début")
 * What is a "hardcore band"?
 * Is Mike Lewis still in Public Disturbance?
 * "Their next studio album. Start Something," change the full stop to a comma
 * ""—" denotes releases that did not chart." So they were all definitely released in those markets, then?
