I am nominating this for featured list because... my concerns with the text (regarding the grammar) were corrected at the peer review. Then, I feel that this discography is more prepared to receive your comments. Thanks in advance. Cannibaloki 04:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • In June 2002, Disturbed released the documentary M.O.L., which showed some of the band's more personal moments in the studio and during tours, as well as featuring several music videos and live performances. -- is the the needed before documentary? I don't see it proper there

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:56, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Everything looks good, my only concern is the last sentence. Is it really needed to mention other bands who have reached #1 three times or more? If so, then what about Beatles, MJ, Led Zeppelin, etc. That's unnecessary (genre doesn't count here).  Rockk3r Spit it Out! 02:50, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! I can only use what is written in the text of the news in which we are using as reference. Hmm? Cannibaloki 04:40, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The band has released three consecutive number-one albums that have charted on the Billboard 200, a feat that also has been accomplished by Van Halen, U2, Metallica, Dave Matthews Band, Staind and System of a Down."—I don't understand this sentence, haven't artist such as The Beatles, Madonna and Michael Jackson (among any number of very popular artistes) done the same? Why have only these specific bands mentioned in the article? indopug (talk) 16:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I can not create unpublished syntheses of sourced material, right?
  • In the lead #1 should be "number one" and #21 should be "number 21". Per WP:MOSNUM "in the body of an article, single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine are spelled out in words; numbers greater than nine are commonly rendered in numerals, or may be rendered in words if they are expressed in one or two words".
    • Interesting... Done.
  • "which also featured the bands Taproot, Chevelle, and Ünloco" how is this relevant to a discography?
    • Disturbed not recorded this live album alone.
  • I think you can remove all the refs for the chart positions and certifications from the lead, since everything is there in the tables.
    • Better not.
  • Why are Allmusic, iTunes Store and MTV italicised in the references? Websites and TV channels aren't supposed to be.
    • {{Cite web}}
      • Because the "publisher" parameters are used for the publication companies (e.g. Macrovision for Allmusic), the "work" parameter has to be used for these websites and TV channels. Hence, the italics. Having said that, I don't think "MTV Networks" is necessary in the MTV references. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
