I am nominating this for featured list because having done much work on the article, I feel it may finally meet the criteria for promotion as a featured list. Holiday56 (talk) 08:11, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Sufur222

Overall, this looks very good. The speed that you redid this one is certainly impressive. Only a few things:

  • Alt text for the image?
  • "Gettin' Over You" has been certified platinum in New Zealand (see here).
  • Although mickeyfinnegan.com is clearly the website of the director, does this necessarily make it reliable?

Apart from these things, I feel this is ready for FL status. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 07:51, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All done. Holiday56 (talk) 12:16, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • As much as I hate LMFAO, I believe that the list is ready for FL Status after Sufur's comments are resolved. --Khanassassin ☪ 11:23, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I believe LMFAO are far from hip hop artists. --Khanassassin ☪ 15:20, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Electro hip-hop" is among the genres listed in the infobox on their page; they are also explicitly referred to as an "electro-rap duo" on their AllMusic page, which also places them in the rap genre amongst established hip-hop artists. Other renowned critical review sites list them as "party hop" ([2]), "pop-rap" ([3]) and "rap/dance/pop" ([4]). I'd say that their utilization of the genre in their much of their music has to be somehow acknowledged in the article. Holiday56 (talk) 15:58, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Not at all impressed on a single-sentence paragraph to open with.
  • Where are release dates referenced and what territory are they relevant to?
    • Release information and references added. Holiday56 (talk) 11:10, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please make table captions unique.
    • Altered the table captions for the singles and music videos sections. Holiday56 (talk) 11:10, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Finnegan has three refs but has five videos.
    • Reference 56 acts as the reference for three of the videos. If individual sources are needed for each video, however, I can add some additional sources. Holiday56 (talk) 11:10, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Official Charts Company is just called Official Charts Company.
  • Allmusic -> AllMusic.
  • You have Category:Hip hop discographies but that's the only mention of hip hop in the entire article.
    • Added a mention of hip hop in the lead. Holiday56 (talk) 11:10, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Rambling Man (talk) 08:03, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I hope I've addressed all your comments. Holiday56 (talk) 11:10, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

  • "who approved their signing to his label Interscope Records." not keen on the use of approved, would prefer who signed them to his label Interscope Records. NapHit (talk) 19:10, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Changed. Holiday56 (talk) 05:11, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Support The prose struck me as a little informal in places, but given the topic and the lack of any real problems, I'm happy to support Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:58, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
