 * Support - All comments by me have been resolved to meet the FL Criteria.-- S R X  23:47, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments:
 * WP:BOLDTITLE
 * I'm afraid about this.
 * I would condense to two paragraphs. The second is just one sentence, so put it with the third.
 * Amen
 * Table for Extended plays uses a notes section, while the table for Singles uses section foot notes. I think there should be consistency between them.
 * Hã?
 * Perhaps for the music videos table, put the refs in their own column.
 * Good idea!


 * That's it from me. Jennavecia  (Talk)  03:14, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that your comments are resolved, I am sure? Canniba  loki  04:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * How about changing the lead paragraph to:

"This is a discography for Mastodon, an Atlanta, Georgia-based heavy metal band formed in 1999 by guitarists Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher, bassist and vocalist Troy Sanders, and drummer Brann Dailor. Mastodon has released three studio albums, a compilation album, five extended plays, three singles, a video album, and eight music videos."

 * Warning - don't start "This is a ...." - featured articles don't start "This is a..." so FLs shouldn't either... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 50 Cent discography, Bloc Party discography, Carrie Underwood discography, The Corrs discography, Deftones discography, Depeche Mode discography, Echo & the Bunnymen discography, Feeder discography, Foo Fighters discography, Godsmack discography, Goldfrapp discography, Gwen Stefani discography, James Blunt discography, John Frusciante discography, The Libertines discography, Maroon 5 discography, Metallica discography, Natasha Bedingfield discography, Nirvana discography, No Doubt discography, Powderfinger discography, The Prodigy discography, Red Hot Chili Peppers discography, Silverchair discography, Slayer discography, Smoking Popes discography, Tool discography, Uncle Tupelo discography, and Wilco discography all start with "This is the" or a variation thereof. Perhaps they should be reworded as that does seem to violate WP:SELFREF. Also, I estimate about 3/4ths of all the featured discographies disregard WP:BOLDTITLE. Though only a guideline, I thought all letters of the MOS were to be followed for featured content. If discogs are exempt from this, that should be noted.

 * The standards around here have changed (improved, we hope) significantly in the past three months or so. Existing featured lists which violate the current WP:WIAFL should be fixed or taken to WP:FLCR.  Discogs are not exceptions to these rules.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * The inclusion of the references in a seperate column (noting previous comments) looks messy - It really should follow the same format as other discographies in this respect i.e. Foo Fighters discography, Powderfinger discography, Bloc Party discography, Nirvana discography etc. Dan arndt (talk) 03:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
