Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 14:13, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • I guess "After singing to" should be "After signing to"?
Done
  • The word "release" appears 13 times in 15 sentences. Sometimes twice in a single sentence. This is somewhat repetitive, needs mixing up a bit.
Done – Reduced to seven times. Carbrera (talk) 03:52, 13 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • " music video was Ivy's video to be" missing something here.
Done
  • " to the public" not sure this is strictly necessary.
Done
  • "were made available for purchase as its singles" I find this awkward reading.
Done
  • "the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom" I think the "UK" gives it away that it's in the United Kingdom...
Done
  • Tables need footnotes explaining the purpose of the (em?) dashes.
Done
  • Promo singles table caption needs "promotional" in there.
Done

The Rambling Man – Thank you very much. Please let me know if anything else needs to be completed. Carbrera (talk) 03:52, 13 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Comments from Aoba47
  • I would rephrase "Additionally, the accompanying music video was Ivy's first video and was released in 1995." to avoid the repetition of the word "video".
Done
  • I would rephrase "to record Apartment Life, their second album in October 1997." as "to record their second album Apartment Life, released in October 1997." as the current phrasing could be read as their second studio album in that specific time period.
Done
  • All of the band's music appears to be available on iTunes so I believe should you add "digital download" to the first studio albums with additional references to support the new information. Same comment applies to the EP Lately.
I actually did not include "digital download" on the first two since the original release did not occur digitally, but for Realistic it did occur originally on cassette, CD, and LP... etc. I don't know if that makes sense or not. I've noticed how that's also how it's displayed on FLs like Madonna albums discography. Let me know. Carbrera (talk) 02:16, 22 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Wonderful work with this list. Once my comments are addressed. I will support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 16:48, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Aoba47 – I addressed your comments. Thank you, Carbrera (talk) 02:16, 22 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Comments from IndianBio
  • I'm confused by their single releases from the lead. Lately was their first EP, but its single was not released until 1996, so singles from their first album Realistic—"Get Enough" and "Don't Believe a Word"—was released first. The problem is that the prose here gives the feeling that "I Hate December" was the first single to be released while the table shows something different. I believe a copy edit and restructuring of this portion is needed.
Done
  • In 2000, Long Distance was sold in Japan --> Do we really need this info? I could have understood if it was only released in Japan, but it was released in the US also. Why don't we simplify it as "Their third album Long Distance was released in Japan in 2000, and the next year in the US".
Done – revised accordingly. Carbrera (talk) 22:51, 22 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • In a joint venture between Unfiltered Records and Minty Fresh --> This is WP:OR because neither the album article nor in the lead there is a source that this was a joint venture. Multiple records can be associated with a project if the artist hsa signed to both of them, which seems the case here. Does not mean that it was a joint venture per say.
Done – removed. Carbrera (talk) 22:51, 22 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • I am curious now, what is the reason that the band has signed/changed so many record labels? Their first four releases all have different labels so if we have that information it would be a good addition. —IB [ Poke ] 06:11, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
IndianBio – I addressed your first three comments in the list; thank you. Regarding your fourth one, I cannot find anything specific regarding their label switching, although I'm sure it has something to do with their lack of commercial success. They might have left Atlantic due to studio fire that occurred in 1997, but I can't say for sure and I don't think that piece of information would work well here. Thank you for the review. Regards, Carbrera (talk) 22:51, 22 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Damian Vo, Giants2008 – Thank you both! Carbrera (talk) 04:47, 13 August 2017 (UTC).[reply]
