Shakira discography

 * Nominator(s): WonderBoy1998 (talk) 15:25, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list after revamping, rewriting, and restructuring it completely. Focusing on the topic of Shakira's discography, the list includes the peak chart positions and certifications of the various releases by the Colombian artist. I have made the list in accordance to the guidelines specified at DISCOGSTYLE and it is similar in style to various other featured lists, like Madonna albums discography, Beyoncé discography, and Robbie Williams discography. Thank you WonderBoy1998 (talk) 15:25, 14 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments from WikiRedactor
 * The picture of Shakira needs alternative text.
 * There are some external links that need to be corrected.
 * I think it is confusing how Magia and Peligro are considered studio albums and promotional albums in the introduction. I would drop the term promotional album in the article and treat them as just studio albums, so it is consistent with other Shakira articles.
 * I see "number one" for Pies Descalzos and "#131" for Dónde Están los Ladrones?; I suggest writing out the word throughout instead of occasionally using the number sign.
 * It is probably worth mentioning that the Billboard 200 is the U.S. Billboard 200 when you first mention the chart.
 * "Eight of the eleven tracks on the album's" should read as "Eight of the eleven tracks on the album".
 * I would note that the Top Latin Albums chart is a Billboard component chart.
 * I see the article shifting from "US" to "U.S."; I would pick one style to use throughout the article.
 * Sale el Sol is not her fourth studio album, isn't it her ninth overall?
 * There is no mention of Shakira in the introduction.
 * I would organize the references in columns of "30em".
 * The "Other appearances" section is unsourced.

 * You should wikilink "signature song" when mentioning "Ojos Así".
 * You're missing a quotation mark on "Underneath Your Clothes".
 * "It was a success in the United States too, where it shipped more than a million copies and was certified platinum." should read something like "It was similarly successful in the United States, where it sold more than one million copies and was certified platinum." (In my eyes at least, songs don't ship so much as they sell, and I think one million is a touch more clear.)
 * The note for "Sing" by Annie Lennox is not working.
 * Oh I forgot to remove it. Removed now --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 16:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)


 * The "Other appearances" section is unsourced. WikiRedactor (talk) 21:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Overall, looking pretty good. Just a few concerns. SNUGGUMS (talk · contribs) 04:28, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comments from SNUGGUMS
 * "Her first two studio albums Magia and Peligro, released in Colombia in 1991 and 1993, respectively, performed poorly and had low sales"..... I think this would read better as "Her first two studio albums, Magia and Peligro, were respectively released in Colombia in 1991 and 1993. They performed poorly and had low sales"..... let's also give a range for such sales
 * "After a break from her career, Shakira found success" → "Shakira later found success"
 * "Like Pies Descalzos, it spawned numerous singles, including its 'signature track' 'Ojos Así'"..... I don't think we should note that it spawned that many singles for one album and not do the same for another. Instead just make note that "Ojos Así" is from Dónde Están los Ladrones?
 * "sales began to dip"..... began to decline
 * I've addressed the comments --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 08:45, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support, well done. SNUGGUMS (talk · contribs) 17:24, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 10:21, 26 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments from Prism
 * "becoming one of the best-selling singles worldwide" remove one of
 * Removing one of makes the sentence "Four of her singles, "Whenever, Wherever", "Hips Don't Lie", "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", and "Loca", have achieved sales in excess of five million units, becoming best-selling singles worldwide" - THis just doesn't sound right since it would seem like these four are the only best sellers.


 * "thirteen" → 13 (per MOS)
 * "hit" sounds really NPOV
 * "Hit" is often used to simply refer to singles that performed well in charting or simply charted. It is like a milder version of "success"


 * What makes Eil.com and CDandLP.com high-quality RSs?
 * These sites are one of the few ones that cover a lot of release dates of really obscure singles. I have crosschecked on the other few sources available and it would seem these dates are correct. I hope they can be allowed. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 13:35, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Other than those minor comments, I have nothing to add to this. I support it based on meticulous sourcing, well-formatted tables and great prose. Keep up the good work. pedro  &#124; talk  22:44, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 13:35, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I've copyedited the lead a bit, but I can see no reason to not promote this now. Consensus is clear. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:21, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
