I am nominating this for featured list because it meets all the criteria for a featured list. The lede is engaging, albeit a bit long, and the coverage of the topic is comprehensive. Toa Nidhiki05 02:35, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Traces of Rain, Volume 2[28]" why does that span two lines for me? No need to constrain the width here. Expand these tables out.

Comments

"All That Is Within Me, was released by in 2007..." doesn't make sense
- Another editor added material and that must have resulted from it. Corrected. Toa Nidhiki05 01:32, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The other albums table does not meet MOS:DTT and is not formatted in sync with the other tables
- Changed to the format used by other tables. Does the 'Other Appearances' table in the 'Singles' section need to be changed as well? Toa Nidhiki05 01:32, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No its fine. NapHit (talk) 18:31, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 22:27, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Commments –

In each case where there is a "Month of Year", the "of" should be removed.
Don't need the multiple Billboard links in the lead.
One word too many in "which was released with in 2004...".
Also don't need multiple Christian Albums links.
"and marked the their first album under Columbia." Remove "the"?
The last sentence of the lead is the kind where I would expect to see an "As of XXXX" designation, as the source itself isn't some kind of running tally.

What makes Jesus Freak Hideout (refs 1, 26–31, and 39–41) a reliable source? Giants2008 (Talk) 23:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed issues 1-6. As for the seventh, there are numerous reasons - their 'About Us' page notes that they adhere to journalistic standards. They have an editorial board and have enough standing in the community to get interviews with some of the bigger acts in the Christian music industry, such as Third Day, Skillet, Switchfoot, and Michael W. Smith. Toa Nidhiki05 01:02, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave this one out for other reviewers to consider. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:27, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing I saw: the second Billboard 200 link in the lead should be removed. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:27, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Sufur222

Looks mostly fine, with just a few issues: * In the "Video albums" and "Other albums" tables, the US (Billboard 200) album columns are not needed, as the albums on the tables did not appear on that chart. * Replace the RIAA link in place with a more direct one --> http://riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?artist=%22MercyMe%22 * Should read "Other charted songs", not "Other charting songs". ~~* Pleased To Meet You --> Pleased to Meet You~~ * Singles certification for "I Can Only Imagine" should be RIAA, like all of the album certifications. Once these are fixed, I would have no reservations about supporting, as Jesus Freak Hideout does appear to be reliable, presuming that they do indeed comply to journalistic standards.

Corrected all of these issues. Toa Nidhiki05 15:35, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Looks fine now. Well done! I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 17:22, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support: I have one small observation, though, you have a dash note on "List of albums, with selected chart positions and certifications" but the sole album did chart. Seems superfluous, inconsistent. – Lionel ^(talk) 00:48, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That was a holdover from when another column was included, removed. Toa Nidhiki05 01:00, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
