Sans article[edit]

Shouldn't this redirect to Sans (character)? Megalovania gained a wider presence due to Sans' boss fight, so shouldn't the redirect go there? 208.122.110.21 (talk) 18:47, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Megalovania is only mentioned once in the article Skeletons are the axiom (talk) 12:38, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article improvement[edit]

Could Sans article be improved also after the Megalovania? Hope so, that article was mess. 2001:4455:68D:5500:11BC:8010:DF25:C5B3 (talk) 22:02, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this article a GA nominee if it hasn't yet been checked with the B-class criteria? That's too big of a jump. Don't be surprised if this article fails. Edit: I meant as part of the songs project. If the status isn't unanimous regardless that's still pretty risky. Carlinal (talk) 22:26, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Carlinal: I mean I've done enough articles at GA-status across the board that I'm not terribly concerned. The song's project has its own assessment scale from the looks of it for C to B so not sure how formal that needs to be.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 22:57, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think that is a bad faith approach to an editor who have improved dozens of articles. 2001:4455:68D:5500:E47F:CB56:210E:CCEA (talk) 23:17, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I've been aware of Kung Fu Man's past achievements and I thought this one was a point of concern. The article looks great, anyway. I wish good luck regardless. Carlinal (talk) 23:26, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No no it's fine, I haven't had that come up before so not sure how formal a process it was. I know on the anime project it used to be, but I've gotten articles through that have had overlap there.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:28, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

All good!

Infobox

There should be a source for it being acoustic rock, as that doesn't seem to be claimed in the body
1. Removed it, wasn't sure if its use in Homestuck qualified it for that or not

Files

Lead image feels like it could use more massaging with its rationale; also, file has a warning message on it
Audio could have a stronger rationale, such as demonstrating the intensity of the song, or illustrating how it came about due to Toby Fox screaming into the microphone
1. Both should be fixed.

Misc

Make sure to put quotes around any song titles, like Megalovania and Megalomania
1. Done! All should be fixed!--Kung Fu Man (talk) 10:30, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  1. We love a GAN speedrun - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 10:34, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Header Image[edit]

I think a screenshot of Sans' fight would be more suitable for the header image instead of the earthbound screenshot. Maybe we can put the earthbound screenshot further down the article? MrDudeSirGuyMan (talk) 14:04, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The image used is related to the first version of the song; Megalovania had wide reaction before it was used in Undertale.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still though, I feel like the context would be better understood because many people recognize Megalovania as "the sans undertale song". MrDudeSirGuyMan (talk) 17:30, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even so this article is best as is since the infobox is about the first version of the song. Take the article for "All Along the Watchtower" for instance; while the Jimi Hendrix cover is superior and more popular, the original Bob Dylan version is at the top of the article since it's the first recorded version. As with "Megalovania" this is completely normal. Carlinal (talk) 22:35, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
