Album vs. single versions

According to recent chart proceedings the album and single versions of a song, in the UK, are counted as once release. The earliest example I can think is Mariah Carey's "Angels Cry". Despite the single featuring Ne-Yo, on the UK charts it charted simply as a Mariah Carey single. Therefore "Higher" is also also likely to be in the same situation, it is unlikely that the version featuring Flo Rida will chart seperately from the album version. I've searched some of the recent chartings but can't see an examples of a case where the album version is listed seperately from the remixed single version except "Obsessed" by Mariah Carey, where the remix was was released for download in the UK but the album version charted from strong digital sales when the album was released. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 15:23, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

hmmm yea thats true. but until the single version is released then i think they should be listed separately. otherwise people looking at the page are going to think that the flo rida version is charting, which isn't true. Mister sparky (talk) 22:30, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'll agree with that. It makes sense =) -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 22:41, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what's gonna happen here

I placed a cleanup tag here - looks like a lot of work went into this, but obviously this is extremely excessive. I'd like to get this to adhere with WP:DISCOG and featured lists but I don't want to step on the dude's toes or bite a newcomer. Looking thru his contributions it seems as if many of the articles he has worked on are filled with minutiae discouraged in other music article (such as this). What do you think? - eo (talk) 20:49, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've blocked that guy again - I dont know what its going to take for him to stop editing the way he does. Anyhoo, can you please check out Talk:CeCe Peniston discography and my subpage-work in progress? The person has cleaned up some items, but I don't think he fully realizes how different the page is really supposed to look. Thanks! - eo (talk) 16:27, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sparky,

Just wondered if you could weigh in on the discussion at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Ciara discography/archive2. It seems that the progress of the discography has become slightly stale because of a disagreement. The experience of a user who's handled several of these such discussions would be insightful if you could spare a few moments. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 20:53, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Rokstarr Collection

Hey! No problem at all, we all make mistakes. Thanks for opposing the merge... half of it IS made up of "Departure", the other half "Rokstarr" and three previously unreleased tracks in the UK, so I'd say it was definitely a compilation album, especially with Cruz's interview, the OCC chart position, the album advert and Cruz's web site stating so... not to mention the title lol!

Opinion request

Could you give your opinon here? Thanks in advance. Candyo32 01:35, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK Mr. Discography

I have a psychic feeling that imma need help at Radiohead discography.... waaaaaaay excessive. Can you contribute/help out at Talk:Radiohead discography#Tables are excessive and need to be trimmed pleeeze? Perhaps this can be significantly reduced with no problems but this one is so huge that I expect some resistance. Tanx! - eo (talk) 13:00, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

heyy, i agree 100% that that needs trimming! was going to do it myself a lil while ago but never got around to it. i'll have a nosey and a fiddle over the next couple of days :) Mister sparky (talk) 13:24, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If interested, I started doing stuff here: User:Ericorbit/subpage2. Right upfront I'm correcting all of the formatting stuff (already deleted about 9,000 extra characters). Very last thing I'll do is trim down the tables to 10 columns. Gonna wait to see if anyone says anything on the Talk Page. Contribute if you feel like it. Later. - eo (talk) 20:26, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discogs

Just thought you might like to know... that WP:DISCOGSTYLE has changed considerably. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 23:52, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hey, you seem to know a lot about editing discography articles. I have a question, in Linkin Park discography, in singles section, should albums in the Album column be linked to their articles? Is that overlink?. A user added a link there (edit), I removed the link (edit), and he added again (edit). Now I'm not sure if albums should be linked in the singles section. I have seen a few featured discographies and albums are not linked in Singles table. But to be sure I prefer asking to you. Thanks --Neo139 (talk) 04:59, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. It's me again. I reverted the edit and changed WP:DISCOGSTYLE to avoid further confusion. I also fixed 14 featured discographies that had this issue. But, all my edits were reverted by a user. Now we are discussing if 'to link' or 'not to link' albums in the singles table. I would appreciate if you can join the discussion here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Discographies/style#Link_to_album_on_singles_table. Thanks!!! --Neo139 (talk) 03:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hey I have added Linkin Park discography to peer review here. If you can check the article and see if there are any bad format or something it would help a lot. Thanks --Neo139 (talk) 03:48, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to comment: Formatting changes to WP:DISCOGSTYLE.

I believe you're aware of what's brewing, but I'd like to invite your participation, if you have the time. Even a quick yea or nay in the section linked at the bottom of this summary would be great.

Quick summary: Over at the Talk page for WP:WikiProject Discographies/style, there's been quite a bit of (at times tedious and technical) discussion about the formatting of discographies. Although WikiProject Discographies/style hopes to be part of the Manual of Style some day, it does not, currently, conform to WP:ACCESS, itself a part of the MoS. This is a problem because articles which conform to the WikiProject Discographies/style ought not be acceptable for promotion to FA or FL status, since they don't conform to the MoS.

After much discussion at Accessibility issues, followed by what was meant to be a conclusion at Time to update, we would be ready to actively address the problem, with discographies eventually being reformatted to appear as currently shown here (already changed from its earlier form). Column order and formatting would be noticeably changed, chart headings would typically be bigger, a few other differences in the coding would be made.

The only hold-up (as far as we know) is lack of wider consensus; I think too few people have participated and I'd like to see more editors register their opinion (be it support or criticism) before we move ahead with a rather significant change. (At the very least, you may consider this fair warning.) Your comment is welcome at Are we ready to apply this updated guideline?. Thanks. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 21:17, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
