Spice Girls discography

 * Nominator(s): Mister sparky (talk) 13:14, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because over the past couple of months I have done alot of work on improving sourcing, formatting, content etc for the article and think it's of very high quality. There has also been a peer review and the suggestions have been actioned. Mister sparky (talk) 13:14, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Comments.
 * 1) Can you use a uniform format for large numbers? For instance: "UK: 3,000,000[1] US: 10 million[1] World: 23 million[1]". Write "3 million" instead of 3,000,000.
 * forgot about that one. Mister sparky (talk) 20:02, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Why are you putting a full stop after incomplete sentences? For instance: "Promotional song for the launch of Channel 5 in the UK.". No full stop is necessary here.
 * good point. Mister sparky (talk) 20:02, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The tables mention featured artist and promotional songs. They should be also mentioned in the leading section.
 * FL discogs don't usually mention promo and featured songs in the lead, thats why I left them off. Mister sparky (talk) 20:02, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Support. I do see any further problems with this list. Ruslik_ Zero 17:24, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * thank you! :) Mister sparky (talk) 19:33, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Support I have a couple of comments, but this is good enough for me to support. Well done.
 * thank you! :) Mister sparky (talk) 19:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't you introduce the band members in the lead? As it stands, only Haliwell is named, and only because she quit the group.
 * added. Mister sparky (talk) 19:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Like in The Libertines discography, include a note explaining what those dashes in the Singles table are supposed to mean.
 * forgot about that! added. Mister sparky (talk) 19:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I hope you can mix up the prose in the lead a bit more, as you use a few phrases repetitively. For eg: That first paragraph alone contains the word 'sell' five times, 'album' is there 16 times (mix it up with the name of the album). Also, 'global success' shouldn't be there twice.
 * done some re-jigging. Mister sparky (talk) 19:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * You devote far too many words for that debut album (esp "Wannabe") as compared to the rest of their releases.
 * also jigged the info a bit. Mister sparky (talk) 19:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Considering that all the chart positions are obviously referenced in the body of the article, you don't need to reference them in the lead too.—indopug (talk) 16:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * in every flc i've worked on previously they do have to be sourced in the lead. unless things have changed recently? Mister sparky (talk) 19:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Support, as long as you find a cat number with an RS. Good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:53, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - a DVD entitled "Spice Girls Greatest Hits" is used as a reference, but does not appear in the "video albums" section - any reason for this omission.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:00, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * the dvd is a bonus disc with the greatest hits album, added the format to the compilation table, which i forgot previously. Mister sparky (talk) 13:15, 24 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Support now that that's cleared up -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:52, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
