I am nominating this for featured list because it seems to meet the criteria. Regards. Robin (talk) 21:27, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments from WikiRedactor:
    We have a couple external links that need to be addressed.
I've removed the dead one. Since I can access all the 'uncategorized redirects', I'm confused as to how I need to fix those. Thoughts? Robin (talk) 15:30, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like when those links are opened, the URL has changed slightly from the original one listed in the reference. I'd just go through and copy and paste the updated URLs into the article citations. WikiRedactor (talk) 17:43, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm on it. Thanks. Robin (talk) 20:00, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed all the redirects. The Amazon ones are still marked, a fault of checklinks. Robin (talk) 22:00, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Robin (talk) 15:30, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: I believe the normal convention on mashup song titles is that there are no separating spaces in it (e.g. "Borderline" / "Open Your Heart" -> ""Borderline"/"Open Your Heart"). I also noticed that most FLs have "plainrowheaders" added to the wikitable class source code (class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders") to omit the bold typeface. Other than that, It looks great!

Thank you. Robin (talk) 17:47, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I forgot to add this: aside from no separating spaces, you also have to eliminate the quotation marks (") between the slash (/) (e.g. "Borderline"/"Open Your Heart" -> "Borderline/Open Your Heart"), since it's just one title, not a double A-side single (like "Money for Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies*"). I've also added "plainrowheaders" to the wikitable to meet WP:ACCESS and WP:DTT since most FLs have it as a standard so the list won't look ugly, but you can remove it if you want to.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Robin (talk) 17:29, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support: The list looks great. Good job! Chihciboy (talk) 07:01, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm on it. Robin (talk) 17:47, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Robin (talk) 21:43, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Great, as much as I don't like Glee, I'm obliged to support. Nice work. Et3rnal 16:56, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Robin (talk) 17:29, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "available for digital download through iTunes" - should be iTunes Store, not the iTunes software
  • With note one, the phrase "A further nineteen are collected on the United Kingdom compilation" is ambiguous. Are these otherwise unreleased songs? A selection from the Complete Season One album?
  • The table should be sortable.
  • With references, be consistent as to whether publishers are wikilinked every time or only in the first reference.
I believe the list now follows the template of only linking in the first reference.

A very well-written list. Adabow (talk) 03:50, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On behalf of former Glee task force members, I thank you. Robin (talk) 17:29, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 16:51, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comments nice.
  • Maybe just for us non-Americans, you could say " airs on Fox in the" -> "airs on the Fox network in the..."?
  • " cover versions of songs sung on-screen" perhaps "songs performed on-screen" to avoid that quick repetition.
  • "which are then taught to the cast and filmed" reads awkwardly to me.
  • "featured Madonna performances exclusively" how many?
  • It may be worth covering the success of any songs released from season one, like "Don't Stop Believin'"... According to our article on the original, " it is the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history with over 5 million digital copies sold"...
    • I think including such sentences would bloat the list and disrupt the FLC process, as other reviewers who have already supported the list couldn't critique it. You would also have to find a reputable source that ties the two together, which I haven't. Robin (talk) 17:44, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does "Single" in the table mean it was available as as single digitally? Or in specific regions of the world on physical media?
  • Don't need the season links in the See also, you've covered that with the hatnote.
