This is an article on The Corrs' discography from their debut album up until now. I feel that this article has satisfied the criteria for a featured list. σмgнgσмg 07:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - excellent layout and very well referenced chart positions. RaNdOm26 10:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - many thanks to Underneath-it-All for the layout and the main sources. σмgнgσмg 10:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment All in all this is a superior list and I will support it as soon as three minor issues are resolved. All of the dashes denoting that an album did not chart in a particular country should be em dashes (—) and not en dashes; some of the list seems to follow this formatting but the "Albums" section doesn't. Also, "—" denotes singles/albums that were released but..." should be placed underneath every table with chart positions. Lastly, the "Video" section should be formatted as it is in Gwen Stefani discography, with directors and other information. --Brandt Luke Zorn 23:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Addressed all of your concerns. Added directors with sources to their videography as well as changing the "n-dashes" to "m-dashes". σмgнgσмg 01:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I was thinking more in the vein of this for the Videos table. --Brandt Luke Zorn 02:59, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- And the "Studio albums" subsection still needs a "—" denotes singles that were..." note. --Brandt Luke Zorn 03:02, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Addressed all of your concerns. Added directors with sources to their videography as well as changing the "n-dashes" to "m-dashes". σмgнgσмg 01:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support An excellent discography, although the references to Amazon and IMDb are unnecessary. --Brandt Luke Zorn 05:33, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
CommentSupport - Close to a support here, but "that spanned for over 1000 years" is hopelessly vague, and to be honest I don't see that level of dept in the band. Who from the eleventh century were they influenced by. Ceoil 08:43, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Comment - That was an accident made by me which I didn't carefully check. It was meant to say that Home was a tribute to their late mother and to commemorate their 15-year career. The 1000 year part is elaborated in their main article. Sorry about the confusion there. σмgнgσмg 08:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixes needed. There are a few issues with the list:
- "They have currently released" will date. The standard "As of 2007", or "As of November 2007" is more correct.
- There are a number of run-on sentences in the lead. Example: "Formed in 1990, the band gained international attention with their performance at the 1996 Summer Olympics which was followed by their debut album Forgiven Not Forgotten that was produced by David Foster". I recommend rephrasing like so: ".. at the 1996 Summer Olympics. This was followed.. ". Does the producer need to be mentioned in the lead? Discographies should only really tackle sales and releases.
- "their debut album .. Foster. Their debut album is a little repetitive.
- "whilst". "while" should suffice.
- "The following year, the Corrs released Home which featured traditional Irish music taken from their late mother's songbook[4] as a tribute to their deceased mother[5] and their 15 year career." reads awkwardly. Was the album a tribute to their 15 year career? A well-placed comma or two should disambiguate.
- "As of 2006"; was this a statement written in 2006, or did they go on hiatus in 2006?
- I'm not sure the Amazon.com links are appropriate. There must be some other sources you can reference.
- Otherwise, it's a good list. Let me know when you feel these issues have been addressed. CloudNine 16:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- All addressed, thanks for the constructive criticisms. By the way, the sources that I had provided for their videography was just an indication that the information is verifiable. If it is necessary, then I'll add it back in, otherwise, this should be fine. =) σмgнgσмg 02:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Excellent disography. A few small issues I noticed: the United States is typically abbreivated (in previous discogs) as "US" not "U.S." Also the first citation needs to be formatted. Lastly, is linking discography in the first sentence really necessary? Other than those minor issues, great work! Drewcifer 08:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Use of dashes need to be fixed: there should not be a dash if the album was not released in the country to begin with. Circeus 18:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't understand what you mean.The dashes in the tables used are indicating the reader that that particular single/album was released in that country but did not chart. σмgнgσмg 00:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
