Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Abingdon Boys School discography/archive1

• Why is "video album" a red link here, something I've not seen in any other discog?
• No images at all?
• "one compilation," ... album.
• "was started in 2005 " formed in 2005.
• "named the band ABS after Ebisu, Tokyo, Japan" not clear to a non-expert. Is this a linguistic thing?
• " signed under Epic Records Japan" I think conventionally bands are signed "to" not "under" a label.
• "Their music.." (etc) you seem to use singular and plural "Abingdon Boys School" interchangeably. As a Brit I have no problem with this, but others may.
• "#2" - MOS says avoid this use of #.
• Ensure reference title comply with MOS, i.e. no OVER-CAPITALISATION for instance.

Done most of those.

No images of the band are available on Wikipedia or Commons, though I suppose there must be a way to port one over via Flickr. I'm unfortunately not an expert at that process, though I would welcome instruction and guidance.

I'll have a look on Flick for suitably licensed images. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I checked Flickr myself; no such luck to suitably licensed images of the band.

A-B-S is pronounced similar to Ebisu in Japanese. 'A' would be "eh", 'B' would be the standard English "bee", and 'S' could be "esu". The trick here is that "bi" would be pronounced "bee" as well. Not entirely sure how to clarify this however.

A note would be very useful because to non-Japanese speakers, this is far from clear. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the note at the bottom; I think this should be sufficient.

Thanks for the review. Let me know what you think.

• All of the notes are full sentences, so need full stops
• JP: Gold - while we, contributors, may know that this is a certification, some readers who have not read many WP discographies in the past may not
• Why does 'Compilation albums' table have a column for Orion chart position, but no entries?
• Per
  MOS:TITLE
  - singles should not be italicised, but enclosed in quotation marks
• Every single has a note, 'The title track...'. Obviously, being a single, they are title tracks. These need rewording, ie for "Innocent Sorrow" write 'The single is used as the first opening song to the anime series D.Gray-man'
• What on Earth are 'Contributions'?

Responses:

• Notes like "Only released in Europe" are not full sentences and thus cannot have periods after them; I would much rather have conformity with regard to punctuation, so I prefer no full stops.

• I still don't find this acceptable, but I'll wait for others' opinions

• Have clarified JP: Gold.
• I put the Oricon chart positions for all sections for the sake of conformity.
• Fixed the singles bit.
• Japanese singles almost always include additional songs, or
  B-sides
  . While "The single" would refer to the title track, the clarification, "The title track..." solidifies the claim that the title tracks are the opening song
• The lead notes that the discography includes "seven contributions to releases not under its name"; how may I clarify this further?

• How about 'Other appearances' or similar? You need to clarify what each album is. Are they all compilation albums?

• I suppose? Contributions was used both

• There is also an excessive use of boldface in the 'singles' table.

• I've debolded, but I honestly think it looks quite terrible now. This discography does not share the format with the large majority of other discographies; the single chart follows the album chart layout and I thus think the formatting should remain the same: bolded titles to highlight them.

• Hmmm, I don't seem to mind, either way now. However, the 'Album' column in the singles table definitely needs unbolding.

• Ah, now that makes sense. Apologies for the misunderstanding; I've done that now.
