Despite never really receiving the attention they deserve, American indie pop band Ivy creates only the finest of music. I have worked on all of their articles over the past two years and have just completed this list (which I began working on in December 2016). I am submitting it to reviewed as a competitor in the 2017 WikiCup. I believe it satisfies the FL criteria and have no doubt that it will eventually become a featured list. Thanks to all who may help me achieve this. Thank you, Carbrera (talk) 05:25, 16 April 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Comments from Aoba47
  • I would revise the first sentence to avoid the repetition of the phrase "has recorded".
  • I would rephrase the second sentence to as follows to make the flow a little bit stronger (Formed in 1994, the musical trio consists of Dominique Durand, Andy Chase, and Adam Schlesinger.)
  • I would clarify in the lead that Lately is an EP.
  • Could you clarify this part (a disappointment for their record label)? Was the record label disappointed in the sales or just the general product?
  • The phrase (including by the group) seems a little odd and forced into the sentence. I would recommend trying to find a way to more seamlessly incorporate this information into this sentence.
  • I would remove "all-covers" as you say "cover songs" later in the same sentence so it is a little repetitive. Do you think it would also be beneficial to include a link to cover version for the phrase cover songs?
  • Just a clarification question, but is there any current news on the band? Their last song was released in 2011 so I was just curious if they disbanded or retired? It may be helpful to include a brief sentence about this at the end if this information is available.
  • I really enjoy this band, and "Edge of the Ocean" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Once my comments are addressed, I will support this nomination. Hope these comments help. Aoba47 (talk) 23:43, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Aoba47: I believe I addressed your concerns. Regarding any current news, their official site has pretty much been obsolete since 2012 and considering they've never been too popular, I can't find anything regarding their current status as a band. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to review this. Also thanks for the kind comments on my talk page. Regards, Carbrera (talk) 00:48, 22 April 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • Thank you for addressing my comments; your final comment makes sense, and I assumed that this would be the case but I just wanted to make sure. It is a shame that this group is no longer recording music, but it is pretty nice to get as much as we got from a relatively obscure indie group. I support this.

Comments
  • File:Vinceguaraldi blackwhite.jpg no fair use rationale for the use of this image in this article.
  • Dr. Robert is piped to Bruce Robert Howard which then redirects to The Blow Monkeys, I would avoid such piped redirects.
  • "After taking a brief hiatus" no need for "taking" in my opinion.
  • Any reason that Chase and Schlesinger aren't linked in the lead?

That's all. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Rambling Man – thank you. I actually removed the image of Vince Guaraldi altogether as the sourcing seemed somewhat sketchy and that song has been recorded by so many artists on so many occasions that now it seems silly to use his photo here. Thanks again, Carbrera (talk) 21:53, 8 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Are you sure "I Don't Know Why I Love You" is linked to the right thing? The Rambling Man (talk) 22:18, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Rambling Man – Ah, nice catch. Thanks as well. Carbrera (talk) 00:55, 9 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

  • Support: The list looks really good and well written, can't seem to find any problems with it that sticks out. - AffeL (talk) 14:40, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Support –

  • "A pop album, two singles were released". Feels like a word is missing after the comma. If not, "A pop album and two singles were released" would be a better-written version of the sentence.
  • Very minor, but "Guestroom" at the start of the second paragraph could use commas before and after, as was done when Realistic was mentioned. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:12, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Giants2008 – thanks a bunch! I fixed the list accordingly. Much appreciated, Carbrera (talk) 03:39, 21 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Resolved comments from A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 16:36, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments Looks good so far.
Done
  • Consider listing the photos in alphabetical order of the song that refer to, so that they more closely match the table, i.e. James Iha, then Dr. Robert, then Edwyn Collins, then Serge Gainsbourg, then Chris Collingwood.
Done
  • The caption text in the table doesn't require a terminating period.
Done
  • "An Ordinary" needs to sort under O.
Done
  • The singles in the Album column aren't sorting alphabetically. Use of Template:Sort should fix that.
Done
  • Spaced hyphens ( - ) need to be spaced en dashes ( – ).
Done
  • "liner notes" or "Liner notes"? You use both in the references.
Done

A Thousand Doors – Thank you so much! I believe I took care of everything. Regards, Carbrera (talk) 23:22, 23 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Done
You still need a note at the top saying "All songs credited to Ivy, except where noted." or similar. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 16:36, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "I Guess I'm Just a Little Too Sensitive", "I Hate December", "I've Got a Feeling" and "I've Got You Memorized" all need to be moved further down the list in order to be in the correct alphabetical order.
Done
They're still in the wrong places. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 16:36, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A Thousand Doors – My bad. I believe I resolved the issues. Regards, Carbrera (talk) 01:59, 30 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]
"I've Got a Feeling" and "I've Got You Memorized" need to be below "I'll Be Near You". A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:17, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A Thousand Doors – Ah. Sorry, I must have been going off something else. Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 17:21, 31 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • One last question: similar featured lists highlight in the table which songs were released as singles – any reason that you've chosen not to do that in this list? A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 08:32, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • A Thousand Doors – I have never done it on my other two featured lists, but I actually did think of doing it here. However, I decided not to because I still cannot find any concrete evidence regarding if their cover of "Let's Go to Bed" was a single or not. A music video was released and a cover was created, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a single either. Being a featured list, I wouldn't want to list it as a single only to possibly find out that it really wasn't one. And for that reason, I would prefer to list the singles here.
