Spelling reverts

Stop changing it to "lacrymosa," look at the Requiem page

Magazine says "lacrymosa," requiem page says "lacrimosa," magazine is foreign

Ive added if it is changed now, warn them with {{test2}} or {{test1}}. Also please sign your comments--Childzy talk contribs 21:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a footnote regarding this track. DO NOT REMOVE IT! It speaks truth! If it is removed one more time, I'll get very angry! And you wouldn't like me when I'm angry... U-Mos 17:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will get so angry i will punch the next I.P that reverts it (yes my fist right through the screen)--Childzy talk contribs 17:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

71.19.20.202 (aka guy who keeps removing the footnote), read your user page! If you want to be blocked, you are going the right way about it! U-Mos 12:37, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I already reported him to the admin Pilotguy so he will be banned when he gets online ;-> --Childzy talk contribs 14:52, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He's been blocked! Woo! U-Mos 15:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

to be honest though i can see him coming straight back after the block has expired so if he does it again just report him to Pilotguy and he will get an extended block--Childzy talk contribs 15:23, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Track list

A scanned foreign magazine is not a source, leave it as possible track list as personally i wont believe anything till i have the album in my hand. When a more reliable source gives a track list (ie windup website of evanescence website) the article should not be changed, if it is changed it will be considered vandalism. If anyone has a problem please state it here. --Childzy talk contribs 12:15, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as it's listed as a possible track list, I would say a numbered list is more appropriate. Also, why has the Narnia song been removed from the article completely? I know it wasn't mentioned in the magazine scan, but it should be noted at least in the bulleted list at the top, or next to its most likely title "snow white queen". Also, tracks that have been confirmed (lacrimosa, call me when you're sober, lithium, good enough, weight of the world) should be noted as such. U-Mos 15:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Lose Control is actually Love Control in the scan - should be changed. U-Mos 17:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
get over the scan, to be honest i think the entire article should be removed untill october 3rd it is all just speculation, most of the sources link to bullshit and you get crazy people from that evboard thinking they are fuckin god. ahhhh --Childzy talk contribs 17:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is not all speculation - release dates, confirmed tracks and what details exist belong here. If you're not going to be constructive I'll just do all that myself, OK? U-Mos 17:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a foreign article is not a source, it may not even be real--Childzy talk contribs 19:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a RELIABLE source, but I'm looking at it and it's not from Wikipedia therefore it is a source of some kind. I'm going to make the changes I listed above, and if it all turns out to be untrue, the track names will be deleted. That's what the EDIT button is for. U-Mos 20:16, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
ok it doesnt matter, i have got some really big problems at the min, look at these Ultra Rare Trax Vol.1 and Ultra Rare Trax Vol.2 thats why i was geeting stressed, trying to sort this mess out. --Childzy talk contribs 20:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Call Me When You're Sober

The first single is "Call Me When You're Sober". It is scheduled for radio distribution on August 7, 2006.[1] <--- That. Um. My radio sort of played it today. Is there a reason for that? I'm just wondering. I know that mine, Channel 103.1 (or WHRL), always boasts that it plays songs before anyone else but wow. Three days before anyone else is a bit much.-Babylon pride 05:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting; on further review, it seems a large number of stations jumped the gun and began playing it early, possibly due to heavy demand from listeners. I'll modify that particular line. -- Huntster T • @ • C 05:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's very possible that a bunch of stations are just jumping the gun. It's already well-distributed around the Internet and the video has been leaked as well. bob rulz 06:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Per a post by Amy on evboard.com, the internet leak caused Wind-Up to authorize radio play early. Hasn't really taken hold, only on a few stations, but next week should see full playtime. -- Huntster T • @ • C 06:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. Alright. Thanks for the quick replies. 'cause I was wondering why, but yeah, it's definitely good quality. But they played it late (around one in the morning). Maybe there's a reason for that, or maybe not. It's the first time I've heard it, and I listen to the station religiously, almost any time I'm awake which is from about eleven in the morning until somewhere around two in the morning. First time hearing it, but definitely better quality than some of the songs I've heard on the station that have been released for quite some time.-Babylon pride 17:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Last Song I'm Wasting On You

Is there a better source that talks about this song? It dosn't show up anywhere else, and I recall hearing in a few places that this song was nothing more than a rumor. The source listed dosn't work for me. I think you have to have to be a member of the site, which makes it pretty silly to list it as a source. The Son Of Nothing 00:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you go to Evanescence.com, it is the first item on the News list. Everything is in the first paragraph. The current cite #4 really shouldn't be used...I'll fix it in a moment. -- Huntster T • @ • C 01:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
...Well duh. How silly of me. Guess I just missed that... The Son Of Nothing 01:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is confirmed on iTunes Music Store (US) that it is an exclusive iTunes track, if you preorder the album before a certain date. - EmeZxX 02:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed track listing

All data points to the bonus track *not* being part of the released album, and won't be found on CDs available in stores; thus, it does not belong on this list. This information must be relegated to the above notes section. It's just as informative there, and doesn't raise any confusion. -- Huntster T • @ • C 02:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I changed third commercial release to second studio release to avoid confusion as Origin is regarded by the band as a demo and only ever released 2500 copies.

Why does it say released September 25, 2006 that is certainly incorrect.

It goes out to Poland on the 25th, so that's kind of the first release date.

iTunes top 100 Albums

The album is currently number 5 in the itunes top 100 album sales, I tried to update the page to show this but couldn't do it, maybe somebody else could? 82.30.159.133 11:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your change did take effect. No further edit regarding that section is currently needed. Dane2007 00:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citing the leak..

guys, is it good to actually put in that there's been a leak? i went to the page which said the open door was leaked, and there was a LINK TO THE DOWNLOAD for it. do you really want evanescence to fail with this album which took 3 years? - EmeZxX 10:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leaks don't make albums fail, on the contrary. But I don't think this is the place where to discuss this. I notice that many other bands' pages cite leaks' dates, and I think it's right to keep track of them, since they're facts. There is no moral approval or condemnation in just citing it. Of course there should be no links pointing to it! Lazarus Long 12:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. Wikipedia only cares about citing the source, not the overall content of the linked page. Given that this is a blog, it is the owner/moderator's responsibility to remove comments containing such links. Frankly, it's not our problem. I do, however, hope that those links are removed, even if leaks don't break albums. It's just bad taste. -- Huntster T • @ • C 02:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind..the admin for the site took it off anyways. - EmeZxX 11:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Outtakes and B-sides

Whoever added this section in the article (i couldn't find it in the history..), can someone cite this? I'm not even sure if this is true. ~ EmeZxX 11:30, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How are the song lengths known if they havent leaked? Jamesinclair 03:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

track listing

Is there a good reason to have the song list in a table like this? I must say, it's ridiculously ugly, and very unnecessary. The Son Of Nothing 23:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I agree..normally on other albums, they just have the people credits in brackets. ~ EmeZxX 12:48, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
