I am nominating this for featured list because... it is a comprehensive list of every song recorded by the English singer Olly Murs. He has released four albums and appeared on other songs, and there is a good sized list of his songs here.  — Calvin999 12:21, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Famous Hobo I'm willing to take a look at this

General Comments

  • Every picture is lacking an alt text
  • I am a little concerned about the length of the lead. While it was fine with the Little Mix list as they had recently released a new album, Murs said he was going to be doing a new album this year (or at least that's what I found from a quick Google search). With a new batch of songs, the lead may be too long to handle it. So while it may be fine for now, the lead will need to be condensed quite a bit with the next album.
    • I'm not worried about that. Until an album is actually released, it's not worth thinking about. Albums can be delayed, and they are more often than not, not released when they are originally slated for. When an album is released, the lead can be condensed down.  — Calvin999 09:52, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • A bit in conjunction with the previous point, the lead seems a bit sporadic, jumping from talking about lyrical content, composition, and co-writers at random. However, I don't see as a problem, since the list is about the songs themselves.
    • That's because it's per album, not all together.  — Calvin999 09:52, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

  • The singer came to prominence after he came second on the sixth series of The X Factor in 2009, losing to Joe McElderry. Reword to "after he finished in second place..."
  • Despite being the runner up, Simon Cowell's record label Syco revealed that they had signed Murs as a joint-venture with Epic following the show in February 2010. link joint-venture, as some people might not know what that is.
  • Written by Adam Argyle and Martin Brammer, "I Blame Hollywood" draws influence from pop-rock. Link pop rock
  • "Dance with Me Tonight" is a 50s saxophone style record with elements of Doo-wop,[11][12] while the track "Just Smile" is reminiscent of the work of Burt Bacharach.[12]The disco-pop Add a space after ref 12
  • Murs co-wrote the track "Let Me In" with Paul Weller, which was described by Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph as "unexpected". Can you go into more detail about why the reviewer found it to be unexpected?
    • The reviewer doesn't say, and I can't speculate on what why myself.  — Calvin999 09:52, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Digital Spy writer Amy Davison likened the disco track "Did You Miss Me?" to Justin Timberlake's song "Take Back the Night". Link disco, and the sentence is missing a ref

Songs

  • I believe "Inner Ninja" should be below "In Case You Didn't Know"

References

That's all I can see, nice list as always. In exchange for this review, would you mind taking a look at my FLC? Famous Hobo (talk) 00:09, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My sincerest apologies for letting this sit for so long. It appears that every issue I had was at least addressed, so I do feel comfortable giving this my Support. Famous Hobo (talk) 16:09, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Full disclosure: I am a WIki Cup participant and I also have a Feature Article (CMLL World Heavyweight Championship) and Feature List (Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship) candidates in need of input. Not that it's a factor in my review but it would be appreciated

List
  • "The one" sorts by like it comes after "Y"?? Not sure how
  • The ref columns are usually not sortable
  • The reference for "you are not alone" should use the previously defined refernece "You Are Not Alone".
The text
  • "runner up" should be "runner-up"
Other stuff
  • first image needs alt text
  • The link in reference 1 and 25 have changed, they still redirect but it may be worth updating the link to the current version to prevent future link rot.
  • @Calvin999: - That's all I got, not really a lot of issues, good work so far. MPJ-US  11:58, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've done all.  — Calvin999 15:36, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well shoot I totally forgot about this one. Yes everything I pointed out was addressed - Support  MPJ-US  00:42, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 02:13, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • "Whilst" → "While" in the first paragraph.
  • "while Flo Rida's delivers a rap verse...". Rida's shouldn't be plural here.
    • I don't get what you mean. You mean no apostrophised?  — Calvin999 21:19, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the Ryan Tedder photo caption, there should be a comma after "Seasons".
  • Notes d and e could use periods at the end. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:14, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done all Giants2008  — Calvin999 21:21, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do I needs supports for this to be promoted despite everything being done thus far Giants2008 ?  — Calvin999 09:00, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you will need supports soon. We clearly can't promote something without any support, as there's no way we can say that a consensus was achieved. I don't want to see this archived unsuccessfully, but if support doesn't come soon that will most likely happen. Giants2008 (Talk) 13:32, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've accrued four supports now Giants2008.  — Calvin999 20:23, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by FrB.TG
  • "English singer-songwriter Olly Murs" -- Since this is for a British guy, the article should really be written in British English. This opening line is the American English way of introducing a person. Using the definite article is certainly BrEng and should be used here and from herein.
    • Really? What was American about it?  — Calvin999 15:28, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know that, but without "the" it did not read British. FrB.TG (talk) 16:38, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The singer came to prominence after he finished"
  • " in which the woman he was seeing did not feel for him as strongly as Murs did for her; Murs asks her to not to let go of him so soon" – this sentence needs to be rephrased and not too detailed; "seeing" is not encyclopedic.
  • "is a 50s saxophone style record" → 1950s.
  • "His fourth studio album, Never Been Better, was" – surname is more preferable while introducing a new para.
  • Try to trim some excessive description of the songs.
  • Ref 1 is not formatted properly.
  • You forgot a [ while linking Newsbeat in ref 4.

Don't worry this nomination is not going to trash. ツ FrB.TG (talk) 21:07, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.  — Calvin999 15:28, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I made a couple of minor tweaks (which I now see FrB.TG picked up on too). Solid work otherwise. - SchroCat (talk) 07:22, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Nice work on yet another songs list. FrB.TG (talk) 18:48, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source review
  • Spot checks on five refs are good - information supported and no copyvios seen
  • Formatting and linking appears good
