Resolved issues
Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • We don't start featured lists with "this is a list". Just begin with "Martin Garrix is a Dutch music producer and DJ who has released..." checkY
  • I only count 1 ref in the lead. Needs much more – not for every sentence but for things that can be challenged checkY
  • Image needs alt text checkY
  • "Arguably one of his most-successful" remove arguably checkY
  • Link Billboard 200 checkY
  • Link Dance/Electronic Albums checkY
  • Link countries you mention in lead checkY
  • Make sure your ref dates are consistent. Some are Day Month, Year; others are YYYY-MM-DD; others are Month Day, Year checkY
  • Ref 29, 50, & 52 have no access date checkY
  • There are many dead links that should be fixed or replaced checkY
  • Ref 51 & 60 has no website checkY
  • Ref 41: what is it an "archived copy" of? Also no website checkY
  • General note: All refs need websites & access dates checkY
  • I don't know if YouTube is considered a reliable source. I would check with other editors on that. checkY
  • Made this edit for you per MOS:DASH  Thanks
  • Write and link the name of the websites instead of having '.com' in almost every one checkY
  • All these green links need to be fixed checkY

Oppose – Honestly there are many things that need to be fixed. While the tables and all that look good, many refs, the lead, among others could use improvement. For now I have to oppose. If you take care of my comments I'll retract it. I think it would also help to look at other featured list discographies for help on the lead.

@BeatlesLedTV: I've resolved the issues. — Zawl 13:24, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'll revoke my oppose but couple more comments:
  • Garrix's name doesn't need to be bolded
  • Link E3 2016 to Electronic Entertainment Expo 2016
  • Still a couple blue links
  • List out what Garrix has released after the first sentence, such as x singles, x extended plays, etc. That's usually the standard for discography pages; be sure to link each type of media
I think that's it for me. But I would like to see what other editors have to say for this. Good work on this. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:04, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "Garrix with a contest participant in 2017" you don't say which one is Garrix. But the photo isn't great, I'd ditch it altogether and just use the one below inside the infobox.
  • Too many paras in the lead (see MOS:LEAD).
  • Put (EP) behind "extended play".
  • No need to link major geographical entities like the UK or Belgium. Or Austria or France.
  • Usher is piped to a redirect.
  • Link "certified" to Music recording sales certification.
  • "managed to be" -> was.
  • " multiple countries" two? Forty? Three hundred?
  • I would expect to see the lead, the infobox and the sections in the same order, so Compilations first, EPs next ....
  • Where was each release made for the date given, or where they all international releases made worldwide simultaneously?
  • I only see eight remixes in the table, nine is given in the lead and the infobox.
  • Avoid SHOUTING in the refs (e.g. ULTRATOP BELGIAN CHARTS)

@The Rambling Man: The issue with placing media in the same order (compilations, eps, etc..) is that the infobox template, by default, places some in undesirable position, such as music video above singles and remixes. Looking at LMFAO discography as an example, it places music video at the bottom. I don't know how to change the positions in the infobox. But I've resolved the others though. — Zawl 17:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've resolved that too. — Zawl 10:31, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Zawl this nomination has somewhat stalled, right now it can't be promoted. Have you considered making requests for reviews at relevant wikiprojects or by reviewing other nominations here? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:05, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
