Nominator(s): Aoba47 (talk) 06:17, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alyssa Milano is an American actor who had a successful music career in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s. A lot of people are unaware of her music career, so I thought it would be fun to make this article and get it to the level of a featured list. I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets all of the requirements for a featured list. It is comprehensive in its content, and I have styled its structure after similar featured lists. This is my first time working on a list, and putting something up for FLC so I would greatly appreciate feedback and comments on how to improve this and improve lists in general. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 06:17, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Carbrera
  • In the "Contents" box, remove the links to 1, 2, 4, 7, A, F, J, M, and Z
  • Done.
  • "The Best in The World" --> "The Best in the World"
  • Done.
  • "Let My Love Show You"/"Kimi Wa Sunshine Boy" is not alphabetized correctly
  • Done. That was embarrassing lol
  • "Talk To Me" --> "Talk to Me"
  • Done.
  • Do singles have to be marked?
  • Can you add the IDs or barcodes to the references of liner notes? I know some of them may be promos and therefore do not have them, but you should add the ones that do have them
  • Done. Thank you for the reminder! I used the albums' ASIN consider where it was released. I even found it for the exercise video lol. Surprisingly enough, The Very Best of Alyssa Milano is the only one that is a promo and that I could not find an ID/ASIN to reference it.
  • I feel like two photos is a bit small; could you perhaps have four?
  • I agree with you, but I am not sure what other photos to add. Unfortunately, a majority of the songwriters and producers do not have images. I am open to suggestions if you have any ideas. I am going to add the images of the two artists she covered songs from in her first two albums (The Ronettes and The Crystals, but I was a little uncertain about that as I have not seen an FLC that had done that for cover songs. Let me know what you think.

  • @Carbrera: Thank you very much for your comments! I think I have covered everything, at least I think I did. Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be clarified or fixed. Aoba47 (talk) 02:53, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Thanks for clearing up my concerns. Carbrera (talk) 00:49, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Well done.. looks great. AffeL (talk) 11:14, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Hpesoj00
  • I made some edits to the article, as it's easier to do than to leave comments here. I accidentally didn't leave an edit summary, but it was mostly fixing grammatical errors and attempting to improve the flow of the prose. Notably, I removed "in October" because it was affecting the flow and seemed unimportant, and also added some extra context to the bit about her not returning to Japan, as we do not know whether she has returned to Japan since she gave that interview.
  • Thank you! You improved the list so I greatly appreciate your input.
  • The contents box does not work for me (I'm using Firefox if that is pertinent). Fix this and I will support!
  • I have fixed the contents box. I forgot to set it up (this is my first list so I still have a lot to learn about doing it correctly).

  • @Hpesoj00: Thank you for your comments! I have addressed them. Let me know if there is anything else that I can do. Aoba47 (talk) 19:40, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Contents seems to work now. However, I'm not sure about the title you added to the table. It seems redundant, as the reader can figure out the contents from the table header. I don't think it is necessary. Hpesoj00 (talk) 19:55, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Looks good to me now. Hpesoj00 (talk) 09:18, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Hpesoj00: Thank you! Aoba47 (talk) 16:26, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@WP:FLC director and delegates: Quick question: How many votes are required for promotion? This is my first FLC, so I am still trying to familiarize myself with the FLC system and criteria and I apologize for the silly question. I currently have four support votes for this FLC. Aoba47 (talk) 01:20, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's not a set amount. "Enough that we're satisfied that everything's been looked at" (so... supports without any other comment sometimes don't count, because it doesn't instill confidence that a full review was actually done). Also, a source review, though a lot of the time the closing delegate does it. Right now there's not enough reviewers going around, or enough delegates (It's just me and Giants now) so... it might take a bit longer than usual for this nomination to finish. --PresN 01:56, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@PresN: Thank you for your response! This nomination is still fairly new so I expected to wait longer to attract more comments/review. I am still new to the whole FLC process (and Wikipedia in general) so I just wanted to clarify this issue. I agree that the "Enough that we're satisfied that everything's been looked at" comments is the best way to go with determining if a list is truly read for promotion or not. I hope you have a wonderful day. Aoba47 (talk) 03:34, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I made a couple minor edits and support the promotion of this list, assuming all concerns by other reviewers are addressed. I did not check the accuracy of the content and simply looked at formatting and prose, which I believe provides an appropriate overview of her career. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:42, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Another Believer: Thank you very much! I will double-check the actual content to make sure it is accurate and concise. This is my first list that I have worked on, and I very much enjoyed the process (especially on a part of a person's career that not a lot of people have known about before the creation of this article).

Comments by Mymis
  • "the fear of people laughing at her work" -> what does that mean? why would people laugh?
  • This sentence was pulled from information found directly from the cited source. I have revised this sentence, and included Milano's quote directly to avoid any confusion.
  • "her music in America" -> United States
  • Changed.
  • "their work being compared to" -> being compared? you mean was compared? or am I not understading the structure in this sentence? or maybe add "with" before "their"
  • Revised.
  • "In May 2013, Milano said that she had not returned to Japan since the end of her music career" -> What is the purpose of this sentence? She could've not released records there without actually physcially being there? Or that she hasn't had any intentions of releasing music there since the last album?
  • I felt that it was an appropriate way of ending the lead. I thought it would be nice to end the lead on Milano looking back at her music career, rather than just stopping with the information on the release of her last album. Just for clarification, she never officially "announced" the end of her music career; she just quietly let it die to focus on her acting career instead. I can remove it if you feel that it is unnecessary.
  • "end of her music career" -> When was that? Maybe add, "ending her music career" after the previous sentence
  • I am not certain if there is an exact date in which Milano "announced" the end of her music career, so I am not sure if I could add anything about that. I am not sure where you are advising to put the phrase "ending her music career" exactly, but I do not believe that it is necessary. If the final sentence is removed, then I believe the paragraph would still make sense without adding that phrase. Aoba47 (talk) 22:30, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Mymis: I have addressed all of your comments. Let me know if there is anything else that I can do. Thank you for your help! Aoba47 (talk) 22:30, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The quote makes it way better. You have my support; good luck! Mymis (talk) 20:51, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source review

Almost ready to promote: --PresN 01:03, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Accessdate= shouldn't be used on citations that don't have an explicit url parameter (e.g. the albums you're referencing). Which brings me to...
  • You shouldn't be using ASIN in cite AV media. I know it's not contraindicated on the template, but it's really bad form- ASIN is the Amazon Standard Identification Number, and it is only used at that one online store. It's not a real ID number- if you want one, there are multiple options listed at the template, and every album has it's own publisher catalog number as a backup (e.g. Look in my Heart is D25Y0273). If you want to link to the Amazon detail page for the album, put the url in url= and keep the accessdate.
  • @PresN: Thank you for your review! I completely understand this, and will change it accordingly, but I have a quick question. If I want to use the publisher catalog number, how would I put it in the template? I know that it is probably very obvious, so I apologize for not knowing this. >< Aoba47 (talk) 01:44, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "id=" is the parameter for non-globally-standard ids, like publisher catalog number. Don't feel bad, it took me a while while looking at the template documentation to realize that it was... actually just the first parameter listed under "Identifiers". --PresN 02:11, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @PresN: Thank you for your help and patience. I have addressed all of your comments. Aoba47 (talk) 16:16, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Besides all that, the "ASIN" for Teen Steam is actually an ISBN.

Source review passed, promoted. --PresN 02:12, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
