I've been working on this the past few days, and I think it's ready for scrutiny. As always, suggestions are welcome. Drewcifer (talk) 08:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Why do the entries in the "Certifications" column have white background? Maybe it's just my browser that shows it like that.--Crzycheetah 22:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, interesting, I didn't notice that on my monitor. It's a complicated story, but I think I can fix it. Do you by any chance know what color the grey color usually in tables is? Drewcifer (talk) 00:14, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Try #F9F9F9.--Crzycheetah 00:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's hard for me to tell on my monitor: does the Experience certifications column look right? Drewcifer (talk) 10:59, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it does.--Crzycheetah 18:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Cool, I think I got them all. I'm doing this blindly however, so if you see any that I missed let me know. Drewcifer (talk) 19:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(→)Yes, it looks "normal" now. There are 2 dead links to xlrecordings.com right now. Other than that, it looks good.--Crzycheetah 19:37, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Crazy, those were working a few days ago, but Prodigy announced yesterday that they signed to a new label. So now XL doesn't have a Prodigy artist page, but you can still buy their albums at their Shop. Drama! So I just swapped the artist page with the shop page.

- Comment: Remove overlinking from the music videos (stuff already linked in singles, albums etc). That notes column in music videos can be done away with and replaced with a citation-type thing pointing to notes below the table. With the Notes, it looks ugly right now. platinum and gold should have first letter capitalized always. Check out Slayer discography for a neat way to include "'-' denotes release did not chart". indopug (talk) 12:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Unwikilinked and removed notes column from the Music Video table. Fixed a few capitalization issues in the lead. I'm not a fan of the in-table legend thing for the dash, so I'd prefer to keep that one as is, based on plenty of precedence. Drewcifer (talk) 15:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The first Aussie certification in Albums is uncited. indopug (talk) 18:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Took it out, pending the discovery of a source. Drewcifer (talk) 03:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- IN the lead, make sure only the first mention is United Kingdom, after which it is only UK; same for the US. indopug (talk) 05:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done as well. Drewcifer (talk) 07:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- (Sorry for the rather sporadic bits-and-pieces reviewing) "The single was re-issued in a limited edition on 2004 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of XL Recordings." - is this necessary at all? Seems trivial and is unchronological.
- "The band followed up
Experiencein 1994" - The Prodigy's biggest hit
wasis the 1997 album - I think "airplay" is a better word than "circulation"
- "mix-album" - whats that? Link. "masterminded entirely by Hewitt." sounds oddly inappropriate; maybe conceived? But what is the point of the sentence anyway?
- "again peaking at #1 in the UK and peaking at #1" - don't like the repetition there. Maybe "peaked at #1 in the UK and the Billboard's…"
- Replace "entitled" with a comma. "which included a remix of their 1994 single "Voodoo People"." - why is this important?
- I think you can remove XL from each catalogue number.
- The dates are typed in wrongly in the article; do it [[1 January]] [[2006]], per British standard; since this is a British article. This is important for IPs viewing the article to see it this way.
- Whats the cite for UK BDC in the singles?
- indopug (talk) 13:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- All fixed except for the date thing and the XL catalogue number. Shouldn't user preferences change the date to conform to region? And the XL in the cat numbers should probably stay, otherwise it's not entirely clear what the number refers to. Usually it's not quite as obvious as XL, but since most other discogs have an appropriate abbreviation of the label name, this one should too, I think. Drewcifer (talk) 08:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- IPs don't have user preferences; hence, if they are to view either system, it must rather be the British one in this case.
- Good point, fixed it. I'll see about adding references to the lead soon. Drewcifer (talk) 20:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think referencing the lead is mandatory. indopug (talk) 12:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In-line ciations galore! Drewcifer (talk) 06:44, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- WHat about a cite for the controversy surrounding "Smack My"? indopug (talk) 15:38, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
