Can't Space Words Apart In The First Paragraph

[edit]

How the hell do you add spaces in wikipedia? What I mean to say is, in the first paragraph, the following -

hard rockband

coveredby

pop/R&Bsinger

Mariah Careyfor

all need to be spaced apart, I tried doing this and it does nothing apparently because the text at the start is a link. I'm not especially well versed in all the wikipedia coding and I generally just edit pages I see for spelling mistakes or such, but doing some preliminary searching on how to accomplish this (or trying to force it with html spacing code) I haven't found anything. This baffles me because looking further down the article I seem to be seeing the exact same coding used for text with links as in the first paragraph, yet the words following them are actually spaced/seperated, but not in the first paragraph for some reason. Why/what's the difference? If someone could answer this for me/properly space the cited text in the article it would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.196.133.188 (talk) 08:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of solicited?

[edit]

What's meant by "solicited" in this article? It doesn't make sense in context (especially with the preposition "to"; I've corrected that to "by", but it's still obscure). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:01, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV tag

[edit]

This article needs much more information on the Def Leppard version of the song, assuming it was released as a single (and even if it wasn't, this article still concentrates too much on the Mariah Carey version). Extraordinary Machine 18:26, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have duly removed the NPOV tag and replaced it with expansion. Lack of coverage is not the same thing as a biased viewpoint. --moof 10:03, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
But the proportion of the article documenting Carey's version of the song could in and of itself be considered POV. Regardless, I've expanded the material on the Def Leppard original and trimmed some of the information on the cover. Extraordinary Machine 19:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Carey's singles chronology

[edit]

I changed it back from "What Would You Do" to "U Make Me Wanna". "What Would You Do" did not make an impact on any charts and was not even an official single. No article will be created about it as it doesn't deserve its own article, so adding it to the singles chronology will not help readers as it will break the chronology and they will be unable to find the article about Carey's next single. --Musicpvm 06:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"What Would You Do" did appear on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart (see [1]), but since it was only a promo it might not officially be considered a "single". I don't think making sure the chronology is unbroken is too important though; there's a link to Mariah Carey singles discography on every page that has Template:Mariah Carey2 on it so readers can just click on that. Anyway, I think we should centralise discussion about chronologies and things that apply to all of the single articles at Talk:Mariah Carey singles discography.

GA Re-Review and In-line citations

[edit]

Note: This article has a small number of in-line citations for an article of its size and currently would not pass criteria 2b.
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

Upon recent review of the article a year or so after the initial GA review, the lack of in-line citations are still an issue. I also found that at least one of the image's fair use criteria is being disputed. Also, the lead seems very short. So, unless some of these issues can be addressed, I'll nominate the article for re-review of its GA status. Drewcifer3000 04:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Given these issues detailed above, I've put the article up for Good Article review (here). Contributors and reviewers alike are welcome to contribute to the review. Drewcifer3000 22:07, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have delisted the article, but recognise that it is much improved. I strongly recommend that it be renominated at GAN for a fresh review. Geometry guy 20:27, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should the page be moved?

[edit]

Move to "Bringin' on the Heartbreak"? The on should not be capitalized.

RandySavageFTW (talk) 22:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The page should not be moved – "bring on" is phrasal and thus capitalized. Thanks for checking first instead of just moving the page, though. :) —Zeagler (talk) 22:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
