Nominator(s): Mister sparky (talk) 14:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I have done alot of work to this article recently improving content, sourcing, formatting etc, it had a previous FL nomination by me which failed due to unknown video directors. This issue has now been resolved and a further peer review has since been done. Mister sparky (talk) 14:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Collins' first solo album, Face Value, was released in the United Kingdom in February 1981, and was a success, peaking at number one on the UK Album Chart". The phrase "and was a success" seems very awkward in this sentence construction.
hmm ok will alter. Mister sparky (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why is "Certifications" only linked in a few of the tables?
to avoid overlinking. it's linked once at the top of the albums and once at the top of the singles. Mister sparky (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And also for Video albums, I see - once for each section. Thanks. Jujutacular T · C 17:34, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure if there is any precedent or ruling on this, but the unreleased album "Going Back" is listed in the table, but is not counted in the infobox. Causes a bit of confusion. Any thoughts?
it's not released yet, so doesn't count as one of his releases. Mister sparky (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Singles: discrepancy between the infobox and the tables. I count 47 in the tables.
there are 43. the featured artist songs don't count towards this total as they are not collins singles. Mister sparky (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Music videos: ditto, I count 36.
fixed. Mister sparky (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why isn't Video albums included in the infobox?
added. Mister sparky (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Make the infobox go in the same order as the tables (currently soundtrack is out of order).
it doesn't matter where you put "soundtracks" in the infobox, it always goes to the bottom. Mister sparky (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Use "colwidth=30em" instead of a simple two-column reflist, as it is more versatile.
that makes them only in 1 column which makes the page longer, so no. Mister sparky (talk) 15:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, it makes the number of columns be exactly how many can fit side by side in any given user's screen with columns 30em wide. If you want to use smaller columns that would create 2 columns for small resolutions, you could try it, but 30em is pretty standard. Jujutacular T · C 17:34, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
well i tried it in a preview and it just made them in 1 column, and i have a standard resolution and sized laptop screen, so would do the same to most others. Mister sparky (talk) 13:22, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You don't have to use 30em; I usually set the colwidth at 20em or 25em. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:42, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
working at 30 now. i realised before that i wrote "width=30em" instead of "colwidth=30em"! my mistake lol. Mister sparky (talk) 20:41, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! And like Dabomb said, any width around there is fine if you want to try something else. Jujutacular T · C 00:15, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Shouldn't "Award winning" be hyphenated?
changed. Mister sparky (talk) 22:14, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "5× Platinum " seems a little out of place in the prose. Perhaps "five-times Platinum"?
changed all instances in the lead. Mister sparky (talk) 22:14, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • ""; the emotionally charged ballad shot to number one " reads like a tabloid to me.
removed emotionally charged. Mister sparky (talk) 22:14, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No reason that Cassette is capitalised.
oops forgot about that. fixed. Mister sparky (talk) 22:14, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Going Back is in the table but not mentioned in the lead or the infobox.
mentioned at the end of the lead, but not added to the infobox as its not released yet. Mister sparky (talk) 22:14, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
