Nine Inch Nails discography

I am self-nominating this article based on its thoroughness and adherence to MoS and standard discography style. Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Drewcifer 04:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Seed numbers section needs some sort of referencing or sourcing. Note concerning The Fragile is worded in an informal way (IMO) - this should be changed. When this is done, leave me a note and I'll support. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 01:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done? I reworded both slightly, though you may have been expecting something more drastic. If it still needs more work let me know. Drewcifer 19:40, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Looks good in general. However, a few things need tweaking (I've already fixed up a few minor things):

There should be a brief history of the band in the lead.

For most discogs I would agree, but since NIN is a one-man band, there really isn't much to say, is there? If you take a look at the main NIN page, the vast majority of the band's history is just one release after another. It mentions some reviews and a few semi-trivial facts, but everything is based around a particular release. All of that wouldn't really be conducive to a discog article, in my opinion. But if you have any biographical facts in particular you'd like to see, let me know. Drewcifer 02:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RIAA certifications don't necessarily equate to U.S. sales; that is, 3x platinum doesn't mean that 3,000,000 copies of the album have been sold, just that 3,000,000 copies have been shipped.
The chart columns in the "Studio albums and EPs" section should be placed under a Chart positions heading (examples: Nirvana discography, Wilco discography)

All chart positions should be centered, and shouldn't have # in front of the number.

The "Live albums and compilations" contains mostly videos. Basically, this section needs to be split into "Live albums" and "Videos".
""—" denotes releases that did not chart." should be placed where appropriate.

Which entries in specific are you referring to? I don't see any that don't have the dash. Drewcifer 02:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous should be organized in a table and have a reference for each song mentioned.
Not sure if Landmark bootlegs should be kept, seeing as they aren't official releases.

Well, they're not official releases, but they are official material, I suppose. And two of them have articles of their own (linked), so they are notable. I could go either way on this one though. Drewcifer 21:03, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music videos should be its own section.

Done Drewcifer 21:03, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The color should be removed from the Music videos table per WP:WAI#Color.

Done Crazy, didn't even noticed that. Drewcifer 20:49, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of using ===Subheaders=== in the References section, use ;This (see Neutral Milk Hotel discography#References). Also, retitle "Citations" as "Specific".
