- Nominator(s): MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:54, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list because it will help to bring a better understaning of his other contributions, besides his own work. Withing this, the list does not omit anything within its coverage. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:54, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- I would combine the last two sentences of the lead as they are both very short
- The two versions of "Finesse" are not different songs so should not be listed separately. A note can be added to indicate that only the remix featured Cardi B.
- Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- ChrisTheDude Issues addressed, please take a look to see if it is fine. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:41, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from SatDis
Well done on the list, I've left just a few comments.
- The first sentence could be changed to
American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars has recorded songs for three studio albums, one extended play (EP) and three soundtrack albums. He has also featured as a guest artist and provided background vocals to other songs.
- Could change to
the creation of this album, which involves subjects of money and sex
. Themes would be more like a sentence. - The list looks great, but for the yellow boxes, songs with uncredited vocals by Mars, "6 AM" and "Her World Goes On" have a note with reference for his vocals, but "One At a Time" and "Watching Her Move" do not. Is there a source saying he has vocals on these songs? Otherwise it is still uncredited. SatDis (talk) 02:36, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for the comments, I adressed the first two, regarding your question, unforunately there is not a better souce online available at the moment, because it is uncredited makes it harder to find a source online for it. However, one can listen to the sample of the song and hear his vocals. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- That sounds okay to me (unfortunate no sources are available). I will support the nomination. I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave some comments for my featured list review. Thanks. SatDis (talk) 13:08, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Alexandra
- The caption to the first image is a sentence fragment, so should not have a period (WP:CAPFRAG)
- Titles should not sort on "The" (so "The Lazy Song" should sort as "Lazy Song, The"); this can be accomplished with {{Sort}}.
- Similarly, names should sort on family name / last name (so "Alicia Keys" should sort as "Keys, Alicia").
- Otherwise this looks good - ping me when you've addressed the above and I will have a look at it again.--AlexandraIDV 02:05, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Alexandra IDV: Thank you for the comments, I'm not sure what you want me to do with the family names. Otherwise, I believe I have adressed evertything else. Kind regards, MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:20, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, I implemented the change myself - this is so that the table sorting function works properly.--AlexandraIDV 15:39, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – The link-checker tool shows no problems, but there are a couple things I'd like to see improved in the sourcing:
Idolator (ref 26) is a blog, and doesn't appear to be a particularly reliable source. Can we come up with something better to support that note?One formatting issue is worth noting: I'm fairly sure the publisher of ref 32 isn't actually the United States.Giants2008 (Talk) 23:24, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Just for the record, Idolator is listed as an acceptable source at WP:WikiProject Albums/Sources. I'll leave it up to the nominator to decide whether it should be replaced with something else. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:29, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Giants2008: Like SNUGGUMS said, it is acceptable and henceforth I won't change it. I fixed the other issue. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 16:32, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm convinced on the first item, but there's currently no publisher listed for the other reference. It appears that Amazon should be the publisher in that case. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:08, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Giants2008 You might be conviced, but the wikiproject states otherwise. On the other hand, I fixed the publisher. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:29, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I meant that your argument convinced me. That's why I struck the comment. That's it from me. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:19, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
