                     	This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.
The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:
*the article needs formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English. 
*the article has multiple overlapping problems. 
*the article is very short and might need expanding, removal or merging with a broader article
For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.

thread_title:  Missing picture 

message: Stay on These Roads is linked to two release dates: 1st and 3rd of May of 1985. Hunting High And Low has two dates also: 31st of May of 1985 and 6th of October of 1985. Scoundrel Days is linked to two release dates as well: 31st of May of 1986 and 6th of October of 1986. This is not possible and something must be corrected.

thread_title:  Stay on These Roads / Hunting High And Low / Scoundrel Days: release dates 

message: "The Sun Always Shines on T.V." (a favorite of mine) debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Cashbox Top 100 singles charts on the week ending November 30, 1985.  The record peaked at #20 on the Hot 100 and #24 in Cashbox.  The entry here has the release more than three weeks too late and the U.S. peak three points too high.  The 12" single did go to #5 on Hot Dance Singles Sales and #6 on Hot Dance Club Play in Billboard.  Please correct the date (and/or indicate which territory the December 16 date is for) and either correct the chart peak or indicate which chart the #17 placement comes from.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abrazame (talk • contribs) 23:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The Sun Always Shines on T.V." release date and U.S. Chart Peak 

message: Again, it may be because the dates cited are for a territory other than the U.S., but "Take On Me" debuted in Cashbox the week ending July 27, 1985.  Two weeks prior, it had already debuted in Billboard, the week ending July 13.  Believe it or not, I actually recall buying the 12" in New York City on Easter Sunday of that year, but that's presumably the second UK release on import.  Still, Billboard did not allow unreleased records to hit the chart at that point, so the September 16 date listed here is at least two-months-plus too late.  One can either infer 1.) that it was the second release which charted in the U.S., but that it took three months to catch on (in which case the U.S. peak is listed erroneously under the third release); 2.) that the release date given for the third release is wrong; or 3.) that the author ignores completely the release date of the single in the U.S., the largest market in the world and where the single went to #1.  (If the third release in Europe was indeed on 9/16, it might be reasonable to draw the conclusion that it was the single's U.S. top 20 charting that precipitated the record company's continued faith in the single's potential in international markets after the UK, for one, failed to catch on twice in a row.)  Perhaps it should be considered that the releases be shown from the standpoint of the record company, and not a given territory.  In this way, a fourth release (though chronologically speaking, it would be third) would be cited for the U.S. alone, and it would be indicated that it was the first and only U.S. release which went to #1 there.

thread_title: Musicvideos

message: I've added a new section in response to a request by an a-ha fan on my talk page.  While a-ha songs—"Take on Me" in particular—have appeared on other soundtrack albums, those appearances came some time after the song was recorded and released.  In many cases, such appearances are negotiated between the music publisher and the executive producer for the film's soundtrack (sometimes via label connections), and the artist's participation is negligible if anything.  The appearance is notable from the history of the song, but it's my judgement that with a discography of this size, these secondary film soundtrack appearances are not notable to the discography.  Editors should feel free to add such usages to the articles of the respective songs.  The two albums I've included here in the discography feature an original recording, in the sense that these releases are the album debuts of the band's recording of the songs in question.  If other such original contributions occur or come to light, feel free to add them to this chart, or discuss them here. Abrazame (talk) 02:42, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I have proposed the article The Swing of Things / The Demo Tapes for deletion as I feel it fails notability. I can't seem to find much info on it and the book is not, as far as I can tell, an official A-ha release. What would people think of removing this from the discography? It is still mentioned in the Main A-ha article which seems about right. It definitely doesn't warrant it's own page.
I may have misunderstood what it actually is but there is so little info on it I think that kind of proves why it should be removed anyway.
