Yeah Yeah Yeahs discography

 * Nominator(s): Drewcifer (talk)

A fairly straight-forward discog from a relatively new band with relatively few releases. As always, any feedback and opinions are welcome and appreciated. Drewcifer (talk) 06:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Lead


 * The Yeah Yeah Yeahs followed this with another EP a year later, titled Machine, which spawned an identically-title single that charted on the UK Singles Chart. -- (1) EP should be mentioned earlier in the lead as 'extended play (EP)' (2)identically-title should be 'identically-titled' DONE AND DONE
 * The band's first album, Fever to Tell, was released in 2002, and peaked at #55 in the United States and #13 in the UK. -- The specific UK Chart was stated, but the specific US chart should also be stated. DONE
 * In April 2009, the band is set to release its third studio album, It's Blitz!. -- Source? I don't see it sourced in the article either. DONE
 * This would actually be worded better as 'The band is set to release its third album, It's Blitz!, in April 2009.'-- TRU  CO   21:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Passive voice. Yuck.  Fixed. Drewcifer (talk) 21:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The lead is a bit broad, I would actually tell the ranking of some of their work, like charted on the UK Singles Chart isn't really saying much, how about 'peaked #__ on the UK Singles Chart'
 * I just didn't find #87 and #26 to be that notable of chart positions. The important thing is that charted in two countries, not how marginally popular they were.  I figure such (relatively) uninteresting data is better left to the tables, not the lead.
 * Oh okay, I didn't know they ranked that low.-- TRU  CO   21:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Singles


 * The last three entries need verification of some sort since they didn't chart and no wiki articles are written on them.
 * I agree for Zero (added it), but the other two are covered by the Allmusic source. Just because they didn't chart and don't have articles doesn't mean they can't be covered by general references like everything else.
 * Gotcha.-- TRU  CO   21:46, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * References


 * For Ref #9| Yes the publisher is COE, but the work is from JAM! Music, so add that parameter into the {[tl|cite web}}template DONE -- TRU  CO   23:23, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * All done I think, except for where I've made extra notes. Thanks for the helpful notes. Drewcifer (talk) 03:35, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards.-- TRU  CO   21:46, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help and your support. Drewcifer (talk) 23:14, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments
 * Can you get rid of "Max Knies Photography Sample" from the photo, please? Its very distracting
 * The author of the photo wanted it to stay. It's an otherwise awesome photo, so I think it's worth it.  Then again, since it's GFDL-approved, anyone could come along and Photoshop it out...  But I'll leave it as is in good faith, since the author trusted me with his photo, and it doesn't particularly bother me. Drewcifer (talk) 07:45, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure whether It's Blitz can be included in the discography yet as it hasn't been released
 * Yeah, technically it shouldn't be included, given the verbatim definition of a discography. But I've realized in situations like these it's best to just let the will of the people take over.  The entry was added literally like an hour or two after the announcement, and I guarantee it'll be put back up right away if I take it out.  So why fight it?

All good otherwise. Nice to see you back. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:38, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the notes, and the warm welcome! Drewcifer (talk) 07:45, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - the BPI certification ref (no 9) points to the listing for "Pretty Hate Machine£ by Nine Inch Nails?!?!?!? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:53, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Woops! Got a little carried away with the cut+paste I guess.  Fixed it. Drewcifer (talk) 20:07, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Another comment - the self-titled EP's peak position of #1 was on the very minor UK Budget Albums chart (as denoted by the ¥ symbol next to it on the zobbel.de page) - this should probably be noted, as currently it could give the impression that the release actually topped the main UK Albums Chart (which in fact it seems to have missed completely) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:11, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Good catch. Took it out. Drewcifer (talk) 03:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - all looks good now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:41, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks alot for the help. Drewcifer (talk) 16:31, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:26, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:26, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What makes http://www.everyhit.com/ a reliable source? Dabomb87 (talk) 02:36, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Rearranged the citations so that it's no longer needed. But, for the record I believe it is reliable, but I can't remember where I found it officially recognized.  I'll look into that for next time. Drewcifer (talk) 03:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/ Right hand side menu column, at the bottom. It's a shame you can't link to the actual results page with this site :( Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:38, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool, good looking out. I've added that link to MOS:DISCOG, so hopefully we don't have that issue again, at lease with this site. Drewcifer (talk) 20:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Took care of your other comments, by the way. I kind of didn't notice them until just now. Drewcifer (talk) 03:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I asked User:Ealdgyth about EveryHit. I want to resolve it once and for all. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:13, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * She says that more than one reference to EveryHit would be good. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:16, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems as the reference was removed, so I will strike. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:26, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Comments from
 * Hide "It's Blitz!", has not yet been released.
 * See my similar comment above. I could delete it, but it will just be added back in right away anyways, so what's the point?  I don't think it's doing any harm there for the next month or so.
 * I hide this album. C anniba  loki  15:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Is Is Mexican chart position
 * Show Your Bones chart positions
 * DVD album? → video album
 * Formats released.
 * CAN → CAN
 * "Date With the Night" → "Date with the Night"
 * Don't have other appearances? mimimi, mimimi... C anniba  loki  21:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, no other appearances as far as I've been able to research. And all your other comments are hopefully addressed.  Good catch for the Austrian and Mexican charts! Drewcifer (talk) 03:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support, all done. C anniba  loki  15:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Closing note: Since everyhit.com is no longer being used in this discog, there is no point keeping the nomination to continue the discussion about it. Best place is WT:DISCOG. Since there are no other outstanding concerns, I'm hereby promoting the list. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
