Talk:Aerosmith discography

message: The link in the compilation album section for the album Big Ones is linked to the wrong page. The link should be linked to the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ones, instead it is linked to a Loverboy Album. I am not an administrator, so I am unable to edit the page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.89.183.90 (talk) 02:21, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Where do the worldwide album sales (estimates) come from?  They've been there (and modified several times) for a long time, even before this separate discography page was created, and I've always wondered where these figures are dervied from.  Are people just guestimating?  Is there any legitimate way of tallying worldwide record sales, including back all the way to 1973?  I know the U.S. figures are accurate (albeit outdated in some cases) as they are derived from official certifications by the RIAA.  But I'm still wondering about the worldwide albums sales.  I know that Columbia Records has reported Aerosmith to have sold a grand total of well over 100 million albums worldwide, but where are the worldwide sales for each album being derived?  Any help in trying to get sources for this information or if these are just pure estimates by Wikipedians themselves would be appreciated.  Thanks. --Abog 00:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: They are not longer. Aerosmith is 54 KB when merged. Metallica is only 44 KB and a-Ha is only 39 KB. According to Wikipedia's policies on article length, when an article reaches 40K, it may eventually need to be divided (likelihood goes up with size). Metallica is only slightly over that. Aerosmith would be way over the 40 KB threshold though. When an article is 60K, it says it should probably be divided. Aerosmith would be very close to that 60K threshold, and would probably reach it, once more pertinent information is added to the article. And whoever says you can't separate a discography into a couple articles in order to get Featured List status is out of their gord. Try combining Madonna's albums and singles into one article and see the shit storm that will happen with that. Abog (talk) 23:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I was also wondering if we really needed to list the chart positions of so many different countries for the discography as well? Charts for Austria, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and so many others are listed and most of the band's albums and singles didn't chart in those countries, with the exception of a few. Seems like that takes up an awful lot of space for only a few chart positions that aren't really all that notable.Odin's Beard (talk) 13:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I see discussion above but it is compendious. Be Black Hole Sun, you are not helping your cause with your edits. You need to discuss this first, reach an understanding second, and edit third. I will re-protect this article, and blocks will be forth coming for disruptive editing, if this edit war continues. I will say that a consensus does appear to be developing, and it should be followed in the spirit of wiki policies. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Is Box of Fire really a compilation?  All Box of Fire is was a reissue of Aerosmith's Columbia albums (album for album) plus a bonus disc of unreleased versions of songs all on one package  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.62.252.58 (talk) 15:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it is a compilation. It has a title, liner notes, and is packaged as a box set, and yes, the unreleased versions of songs and whatnot. Most sources list it as a compilation, such as allmusic. Plus, it also has gold certification from the RIAA. Abog (talk) 21:44, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand the point in a Limited Edition Compilations section, doesn't really matter if it's limited or not, it's still part of the discography, I don't believe it should be separated, for the fact that it is "limited edition", that's a note for the album on it's own page. However, I do see regulary, a separate section for boxsets...Yellowxander (talk) 11:25, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

message: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosmith_singles_discography should be merged into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosmith_discography.
I have not seen any where else at all with two separate discographies, let alone the fact that the Singles Discography page is a replica of the Singles Discography section on the Aerosmith Discography page.Yellowxander (talk) 11:06, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now seen a handful of instances where this may be done, but only when a very extensive catalogue exists. I still don't think this is necessary.

As there is a separate page there is no need for any of the info to be on the Discography page, let alone duplicated. I will be removing the chart on the Discography page and leaving just the link.Yellowxander (talk) 10:18, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
