Charts

[edit]

Is the "German Youth Airplay Chart" an official chart ? If not then it needs to be removed. QuintusPetillius (talk) 14:57, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide release

[edit]

User:SuperVirtual keeps on adding an iTunes source that claims that the single "Walk" was released only in Germany. This is complete nonsense. Firstly the song is available to download commercially in any country, therefore it is released worldwide. I think the said user maybe indicating that it is only available in Germany with the artwork ? Even if this is the case that does not mean the song is not available commercially elsewhere. If the song was not available commercially elsewhere then it would not have charted on most of the singles charts included in the article. I do not think the iTunes source he is quoting even says that the single was only released in Germany. If the sources does say that then as per Wikipedia:Verifiability#Citing non-English sources then I request that a quotation of relevant portions of the original source be provided, either in text, in a footnote, or on the article talk page. Otherwise just quoting the iTunes page would be in breach of Wikipedia:No original research#Synthesis of published material that advances a position. I live in the UK and the song is available on iTunes, amazon and a load of other music download websites.QuintusPetillius (talk) 13:36, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Demonstrate that "Firstly the song is available to download commercially in any country, therefore it is released worldwide". I want remember you that there are some difference between a commercial release and an airplay release. Is the same thing with "Lost in the Echo" by Linkin Park: it was released in October 2012 as a digital download single in the United Kingdom, but the songs charted in various countries. --SuperVirtual (talk) 13:37, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. The UK iTunes page of Foo Fighters contained two Wasting Light singles: "Rope" and "Arlandia", as well a remix of "Rope" by deadmau5. --SuperVirtual (talk) 13:43, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The iTunes links do not say specifically that the songs were only released in those countries, therefore using them as sources to say so is in breach of Wikipedia:No original research#Synthesis of published material that advances a position. I do not have to demonstrate that the songs are available commercially elsewhere but here is one example, Amazon UK is where Walk is avaialable as a commercial download: [1] That is just one example. You can download the song from any iTunes in the world - it does not have to have the artwork.QuintusPetillius (talk) 13:48, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, a user can't bought a digital song that is available in a country where he not resides. It is confirmed for the fact that the credit card is not valid for that country. You can try also in Amazon. --SuperVirtual (talk) 13:54, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You clearly do not have a good grasp of the English language. The iTunes source does not support the information that you are putting into the article, therefore you are in breach of Wikipedia:No original research#Synthesis of published material that advances a position and I shall continue to revert your edits on these grounds. If you disagree then you must, as per Wikipedia:Verifiability#Citing non-English sources give a quotation of relevant portions of the original source be provided, either in text, in a footnote, or on the article talk page. I shall continue to revert.QuintusPetillius (talk) 14:25, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've a good mastery of English, having studied a lot of time abroad. Stop with the edit wars and try us to find an agreement, ok?. --SuperVirtual (talk) 15:00, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Third Opinion: I am afraid that QuintusPetillius is correct in this regard, as the source is not only a first-party one, but its relevance to the information is borderline relevant at best. Perhaps an alternative source may be presented? Some third-party references could do this matter some good, assuming that there is merit in SuperVirtual's assumptions. On a side note, let's not flash our Reviewer privileges around with every turn- coming from a fellow Reviewer, that's rather insufferable. DarthBotto talkcont 07:26, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much DarthBotto. It appears we have consensus.QuintusPetillius (talk) 15:55, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Video is homage as apposed to parody

[edit]

I'm unsure of the use of Twitter conversations as citation (in which way to present them, whether they're permanently at that address etc). Could someone make the important amendment to this article to reflect that this work is a homage to the film "Falling Down" as apposed to a parody claimed by Rolling Stone Magazine? In the link below the director told me this directly. There's a very important difference between the two styles. [2] UnsavoryIndividual (talk) 17:31, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Finally.--Cy Maddox (talk) 13:13, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
