For the past week or so I have (with some great formatting help from PEJL) been working to make this discography complete, comprehensive, reliable and completely verified. It was generally modeled after the Featured List Nirvana discography, though several substantial discrepancies exist as Red Hot Chili Peppers have a significantly larger song library. Please feel free to point out any and all inconsistencies, problems or flaws you can find! NSR77 TC 19:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - I don't know if I worked on it enough to say I'm a "significant contributor", but my involvement should be noted. I've already analyzed the list thoroughly and as far as I can tell, it's definitely up to snuff. Grim 20:09, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - I remember looking at the discography two months ago for some information, and wow! It's so amazing now compared to then. It's very well written and formatted, and really nicely sourced. Good job!!! Xihix 20:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Before I support this, I have to ask if the 15th and 17th references really cite the right pages? My copy of "Scar Tissue", (ISBN 1-4013-0101-0 1st edition) which seems to be the edition that has been cited, does not mention anything about sales on those specific pages. Maybe this is because it's a different edition of the book that has been cited? I will support the list if this is corrected. And btw, great job! Tooga - BØRK! 21:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually that was my mistake. After another long search I've recovered several sources that will allow me to list the worldwide sales information for all nine albums. NSR77 TC 22:52, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Great job! There is just one minor thing I noticed, about the "Around the World" b-sides. "Me & My Friends" is the only track that was recorded at Södra Teatern in 1999. Yertle Trilogy was recorded at Spazio Anzologico for MTV Italy. See discogs.com. Tooga - BØRK! 23:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - I give this list my full endorsement. I've changed the note about "Teatro Jam", if you feel that it's unnessery, then just remove it. Once again, great job! Tooga - BØRK! 00:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- I'm not sure the certification split in two columns (which takes quite a lot of space) is absolutely necessary.
- I don,t like the way all dates in the first table end up split on 2 lines
- the multiplication symbol × should probably be used over the letter x
- Given there are only 2, I'm not sure we need a "certification" columns for the singles. Pretty much the same as not including a chart no album charted on.
- I'm more of a fan of the bullet-point style of formatting from our early discographies, but given the staunch opposition it received when I tried to convert other lists (!!), I'll refrain from pushing it more than mentioning that.

- I see what you mean about the two columns for the certification, but the way it is here, to me at least, makes everything more organized and less cluttered. And really the table is not very large in comparison to other discographies. Everything else has been adapted from the current FL Nirvana discography including the singles certification; an "x" is used in that list, too. The two blank charts for the UK and US in the "Miscellany" section were added by someone else and I only just noticed that. I don't, however, think it too unnecessary to have them there as it does clarify the fact that said albums did not chart in the US or UK. It may be confusing for someone who is not familiar with Wikipedia and or Wikipedia policies if they were absent. NSR77 TC 00:11, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
