Merging charts

I have merged the rankings into the appropriate tables. Please correct any inconsistencies in chronology and any other stylistic changes. I am not familiar with the style of discography articles, but I wanted to merge this one as it seemed like it needed a bit of attention. Tinlinkin 12:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Span of Casablanca international distribution period...

In the current version of the article, the last line of the note preceding the Albums chart states,

From Once Upon a Time through to the end of the Casablanca albums, this label was used to distribute Summer's work in most nations.

...If I'm reading the chart right, "the end of the Casablanca albums" is the very next album, Bad Girls, released just two years after Once Upon A Time. Is that correct? If so, the way it's described there seems a bit odd, and makes the period sound much longer and/or more notable than it actually is. Or is there something more about that period that makes it significant? —

Merger proposal

A proposal has been made to merge

Donna Summer singles discography into a comprehensive Donna Summer discography. This suggestion was made in the recent deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donna Summer discography. The current arrangement of three different discog articles is the result of an old decision to split Albums and Singles, but this causes duplication of effort and is bound to lead to errors and inconsistencies. For example, if a new greatest hits album were released next week, it would have to be added to two different discog articles and someone would have to monitor both for consistency and accuracy, in perpetuity as chart and sales info comes along. Albums and Singles should be merged into one comprehensive discog article. Personally I feel that it would be okay if the resulting comprehensive article is really long, because of Donna's long career. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:28, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply

@Doomsdayer520: Almost 9 months later, but I support a merge. It's silly to have 3 separate articles covering the same info.Nqr9 (talk) 07:38, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Nqr9: - Thanks for a your comment. After a few months of "I'll get to it soon..." I actually forgot about this myself. I can start working on straightening out these three articles soon, but it will be a big project. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
After some more procrastination, I am finally going to do this merge now. Once again, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donna Summer discography for the community consensus on the need for this merge. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 01:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New compilation Encore

A follow-up to the 2016 album The Ultimate Collection was released by the same label, Driven By The Music, on 27 March 2020 as a 33 disc set.[1][2] I couldn't add it to the column because I didn't understand the wiki syntax of this. I'd put it into the section under Other offical compilations Saemikneu (talk) 22:09, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Heaven Knows (single)

Asking if it’s accurate to put backing group Brooklyn Dreams under Heaven Knows in the table of singles, given that they were not credited on the official single. Perhaps it should be a footnote? Johncarlson44 (talk) 17:53, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that, but you didn’t address my point. I said the official single in 1978 did not include their name. Later compilation sets cannot change that fact. Johncarlson44 (talk) 18:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is an incredibly impressive list, but it’s missing her entry on the film Looking for Mr. Goodbar

This is an incredibly impressive list, but it’s missing her entry on the 70s film Looking for Mr. Goodbar. 2600:1011:B13F:828:BC4E:560C:43C9:E50A (talk) 21:43, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
