Talk:Eric Clapton albums discography

message: All the covers are placed next to their entries in the list, with the exception of the Yardbirds, which is just a couple of lines above it for spacing purposes. If you want to edit, change or swap any of them just edit the section in which they are listed. MightyMoose22 >Abort, Retry, Fail?_ 08:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm going to dedicate a fair amount of my time to this article during the next week starting tomorrow and will try and get as much stuff into this article as possible.

message: Concerning CREAM ROYAL ALBERT HALL: LONDON MAY 2-3-5-6 2005, I'm afraid the 5 x platinum RIAA award was granted to the dvd, not to the record.

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Eric Clapton discography. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

message: In going through some citations for chart positions, etc., I noticed that several of the references do not support the information in this discography.  Since there have been problems in this area, a requirement that all chart data have citations to accessible reliable sources may be beneficial.  This is consistent with WP:Source list:
Any thoughts on making this a requirement?

message: Why is there no “singles” section here? TheScotch (talk) 18:14, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Because there is a separate discography article for that: Eric Clapton singles discography ReginaldBull (talk) 07:35, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Singles? 

message: The discography currently contains a section that lists albums recorded with Clapton when he was a member of different groups prior to his solo career. The once proposed :WP:DISCOGSTYLE does not address the issue, but five WP feature list-rated discographies for solo artists who also have/had careers with groups only list their solo releases and not those with groups (see :Phil Collins discography, :Gwen Stefani discography, :Justin Timberlake discography, :Josh Homme discography, and :Bruce Dickinson discography). This practice is followed in numerous other solo career discographies (see various entries in :Category:Discographies of American artists, :Category:Discographies of British artists, etc.)
There does not appear to be any reason to treat Clapton differently than other solo artists who also have/had careers with groups. Propose to remove the section (most of its citations have already been removed for failed verification), so the focus is on Clapton's solo career and maybe make it easier to maintain.

thread_title: Albums with groups prior to solo career

message: [Copied from User talk:Ojorojo]: 
Clapton played Dobro guitar on “The Roof is Leaking” on Phil Collins Face Value. Jthawort (talk) 06:29, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The AllMusic review for Face Value doesn't mention it. Do you have any reliable sources for this? —Ojorojo (talk) 15:35, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The personnel listing for the Face Value Page on Wiki, the Face Value page on AllMusic, and the liner notes on the album itself. It only lists Clapton playing “guitar” but in an interview Collins said it was a dobro. Anyway guitar is fine. Jthawort (talk) 04:59, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: WP articles cannot be used as sources for other articles (see :WP:CIRCULAR). AllMusic's "Credits" listing (not part of the written review) only shows Clapton as a "Guest Artist, Guitar", but doesn't specify which song(s). But only its professional reviews are considered reliable and it doesn't mention Clapton (see :WP:RSMUSIC). For "The Roof Is Leaking", the album liner notes show only one guitarist, "Joe Partridge slide guitar".  Please provide a link to a reliable source that specifically shows that Clapton plays the guitar on this song. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:46, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
