Paolo Nutini discography[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I have done alot of work on improving it recently and would like suggestions for any further improvements, and if it can be taken towards FL.

Thanks, Mister sparky (talk) 20:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brianboulton comments: A pretty sound job here, with a few suggestions for further improvement:-

  • Lead
    • Can you explain "4×"? What does the tiny symbol signify?
changed to four-times. Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • ""Last Request" being the most successful, reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart and number eight on the Irish Singles Chart." Not grammatical; suggest replace "being" with "was"
changed. Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:MOS requires that "8th" be written "eighth"
changed. Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tables: these are generally pretty good. A few small points:-
    • Studio Albums: Why is "SWI" used to represent International Federation of the Photographic Industry?
the IFPI is the certificating body, that particular certification is for switzerland. Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • The wikilink on SWI goes to the IFPI article - n0 apparent connection to Switzerland. Brianboulton (talk)
as i said, the IFPI is the certificating body that covers europe, the ref shows its for switzerland. Mister sparky (talk) 23:04, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Use of bolding and italics in all or most tables might be contrary to MOS. Suggest check WP:MOSTEXT, Boldface and Italics sections.
the album titles being in bold in the details, and being it italics in the singles table is exactly the same as every other FL discography. Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The heading "Other appearances" is slightly confusing - the article is not basically about "appearances". Perhaps it should be "Other songs"? The explanatory note should make it clear that these are songs by Paolo Nutini that have not (yet) appeared in his albums.
they are songs that don't appear on any of his albums or singles, and the note does say that. all FL discographies call this section "other appearances". Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Other appearances" is surely an inappropriate heading for a list of songs that don't appear on any of his albums or singles. I got confused by the title and the note, and I believe others will, too. But it's up to you. Brianboulton (talk) 22:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
as i said, every single discography has this heading for this section. the heading fits perfectly, as they dont appear on the albums, they are "other" songs, just like the heading and the note say. Mister sparky (talk) 23:04, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • This final table, unlike the others, is lacking citations
yea i know i need to find those. Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • References
    • Nos 12, 28 and 29 are all citations to the same source, but 12 is formatted differently from the other two.
they are for 3 different citations to 3 different pages, to verify 3 different charts. but have fixed the formatting of no.12 Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nos 15 and 38: the newspaper sources should be italicised.
fixed. Mister sparky (talk) 22:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
