Muddy Waters discography

 * Nominator(s): Ojorojo (talk) 15:33, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

I've recently expanded this discography to include inline citations for each release, added several charting albums, and revised the lead. Muddy Waters is one of the most important blues artists of all time and I hope to make this a featured list. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:33, 17 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Support – Alright all good for me. Great job on this! – zmbro (talk) 17:44, 21 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Comments from ChrisTheDude
 * Firstly, great to see a bluesman getting recognition at FLC!
 * What's the criterion for "selected" live and compilation albums i.e. why are these selected but not others?
 * Since there is such a large amount of questionable material out there, I tried to include the ones that 1) were issued by his official record companies, 2) appeared on the charts, or 3) noted in his bio by Gordon or other references, such as the All Music Guide to the Blues. I used the same approach with the Elmore James discography. The many releases by Charly Records and related labels were excluded, because it lost the copyright infringement lawsuit over its unauthorized releases of the Chess catalogue.—Ojorojo (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I notice that that discog has a couple of sentences at the top of the relevant section explaining the selection. Would something similar be possible here? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:26, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I added some explanations, while trying to avoid WP:SELFREF. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:30, 24 June 2019 (UTC)


 * In some cases where multiple refs are together they are not in numerical order
 * Fixed. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Ref columns are usually centred
 * Fixed, although most discographies lack inline citations. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)


 * In the "as accompanist - singles" table, not a single one charted, so is there really any point in having the chart peak column?
 * It gives a more consistent, professional look, IMO. I'm not a fan of jumping to different sized tables with different columns from section to section. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I'd be tempted to show the two versions of "The Last Waltz" as "The Last Waltz" and "The Last Waltz (deluxe re-release)" or "...(box set re-release)" rather than use the dates, as using the dates doesn't rule out the possibility that they are two completely different albums that happen to have the same title.....
 * Fixed. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Some (although not all) of the notes are complete sentences so need full stops
 * Fixed. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Quick comment – Ref 46 doesn't include the publication year in the cite, which is causing a nasty red harv error message to appear. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:15, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Fixed (mine doesn't show in red). Thanks. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:10, 17 July 2019 (UTC)


 * has created several new Muddy Waters album articles and added links to the discography. However, some didn't use a sort key for titles beginning with "The", etc. (see WP:SORTKEY). These have been restored to the reviewed version. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:18, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Well, this one took a while, but source review passed, promoting. -- Pres N  03:30, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
