Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Slipknot discography

• Comments looks like a very good and thorough list. Some specifics...
  • "metal" or "nu metal" (which is what their main article says)?
  • "Des Moines, Iowa." linked twice in consecutive paragraphs - not necessary. And I would tend to link it Des Moines, Iowa myself.
  • "...live performances; each member wears individual masks and matching uniforms during all live performances..." - repeated "live performance", could do with a little bit of rewording.
  • Is it worth linking the individual wiki-linked years to "... in music" articles?
  • Not sure why August is linked on its own?
  • Isn't Finland normally abbreviated to FIN? (just a question) - it is further down.
  • "U.S." or "US" - I think it should be consistent.
  • Another question: why is "Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat." listed under miscellany? Isn't it a studio album?
    • There is contention over what it should be listed as. Some argue that the band call it a demo and they certainly don't regard it as the same as their other albums. However other people argue that it is of a much higher quality than standard "demos". The mutual agreement was to list in Miscellany yet the decision whether to declare it a demo album or studio album in the main article hasn't been settled.

      • Perhaps you could expand upon that in the article? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:55, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • In "Videos & DVDs" section, my IE7 is showing "U.S." and "FIN" as left aligned column headings.
    • I honestly think this is a bug or something with IE7 - even with "style="text-align:center;"", it doesn't fix anything, and Firefox displays them properly. I've been having this problem with tables I've created too. -- Matthew

Comment Looks really good! I only have a few minor suggestions:

• Canada should be abbreviated as CAN, since CA usually means California.
• U.S. should be US.
• There's no point in having the UK, NOR, NZ, and FIN columns in the Live albums section.
• I don't think its necessary to wikilink the years in the tables.
• The album column in the singles table is way too big because of "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)". Put a <br /> or two in there and it'll look much better.
• Only wikilink to RIAA certification and Canadian Recording Industry Association in the first table.
  • May I ask why there shouldn't be a link to the BPI? REZTER ^TALK ø 21:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • My bad, I meant to mention that one too. All three should be wikilinked appropriately, but only in the first table. So basically unlink the RIAA and CRIA column headers in the Videos & DVDs table. Also, the Certifications column in Live albums is odd since it's not stated what organization did the certifying. So, since it's only one entry, I'd recommend naming the column RIAA certifications. Drewcifer (talk) 06:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• The title of the Soundtracks section is a little deceiving. Should be "Soundtracks contributions" since they didn't do the whole thing.
• Billboard should only be wikilinked in the first citation.
• An external links section would be good. Take a look at other FL discogs for some ideas. Drewcifer (talk) 20:34, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Try and avoid abbreviations in citations (ie RIAA/CRIA/etc). Blabbermouth.net should also be linked in citation #29.Drewcifer (talk) 06:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice, all points have been adressed. REZTER ^TALK ø 17:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• The first RIAA citation (currently #14 should be wikilinked). Same with CRIA (#15).
