Iced Earth discography

Nominator(s): Cannibaloki

I am nominating this for featured list because... I think that it meets the standards. I don't put it to peer review, because we have a less-complex lead section. Cannibaloki 22:28, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Truco

Review by Truco (talk · contribs) Lead In 1997, the band re-recorded the best of their early material, and released as a compilation titled Days of Purgatory. -- Add it before as a Added The beginning of the lead IMO should state the band members who were present upon its formation as Iced Earth. Jon Schaffer is the leader, the others just followed. Also, this is a discography, not a band members list. Yeah, but it would seem relevant, but ok.--Truco 01:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC) The band also arrived for the first time on the Billboard 200 at number 145. -- You should make it clear that this is American Done. The first part, titled Framing Armageddon (2007), reached the top 30 on the German, and Swedish Sverigetopplistan charts. -- Remove the final comma Removed. It should be made clear as to what the official names of each charts are, like the German charts Done. The following year, was released the second part The Crucible of Man, which reached the top 40 on the Austrian, Finnish, German, and Swiss charts. -- was released the second part? Reworded. The lead should also state the overall count in their discography like the infobox does Done. Maxi singles Overture of the Wicked was released in the United States as an extended play; it peaked at number 14 on the Top Heatseekers, and number 43 on the Top Independent Albums -- does this belong here? Yes. What does Maxi mean? I imagine that you did not have the curiosity to search what it is. (see maxi single) Ouch. Well, the article never stated maxi single just maxi =P--Truco 01:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC) References If you are going to a link a few publishers you may as well link all the ones that have links or remove the links in all.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 01:16, 2 April 2009 (UTC) Done. --Cannibaloki 07:18, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Comment by Neonblak ^talk - 06:12, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Appears to be a quality list, but wouldn't adding the album covers into their respecitve boxes add more life to the list? The covers, I believe, all fall under fair use.Neonblak ^talk - 06:12, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Not especially useful to a discography, and would violate NFCC#3a. How would adding fair use images to a discography add significant meaning that could not be conveyed in a discography? The covers should be added to the main articles. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

• What makes http://www.rockdetector.com/artist/united+states/florida/tampa/iced+earth a reliable source?
  • I do not know.
    • Well, then this reference will have to be removed. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
      • Seems as if they were replaced. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
• For the country charts, "Swedish charts portal. swedishcharts.com. " is redundant. Remove the "charts portal" from all the country chart refs. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:04, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Removed. --Cannibaloki 07:18, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Cannibalopki, you should withdraw this article form the list of candidates. It still needs some work, it can easily be improved.  Rockk3r Spit it Out! 02:29, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Rockk3r, can you provide examples or be more specific on how the discography can be approved? Dabomb87 (talk) 03:31, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

• Comments
  • Could you add a citation to the note for Dark Genesis in the box sets section? Also, is there any kind of note you could add for Slave to the Dark (just to make it look more uniform)?
    • This stuff was removed, see my comment below; I already wrote in the lead section.
  • I was interested by the fact that they only have three singles. Is there any reason for this? Could it possibly be mentioned in the page somewhere?
    • I found nothing special in these singles; just were released and charted.
• Otherwise it looks pretty good. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Most of these changes were made by the user Rockk3r, without any discussion, only by his personal taste.--Cannibaloki 17:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

• The lead didn't say when Barlow returned or why he left. That's just an example. This list looks goo but it could be improved. Just give me one day at least to work on it. Cannibaloki did a great job, but it's missing some stuff, I won't go into details now. Just please give me at least a day to work on the list.  Rockk3r Spit it Out! 06:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
  • This isn't a List of Iced Earth band members.--Cannibaloki 17:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Just take a look at Bruce Dickinson discography and tell me the lead isn't better than this one. It clarifies everything.  Rockk3r Spit it Out! 04:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I see that Cannibaloki reverted all of my edits. In that case, there's no more opposition from my side. You can do whaterver you think it's best with this list. I wnated to improve it, "but there's no need."  Rockk3r Spit it Out! 04:42, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
