Edit
[[Chris Isaak:Speak of the Devil (1998)]] should be Chris Isaak:Speak Of The Devil (1998); see LW:PN. Thanks! — 6x9 (Talk) 15:15, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- On a related note, I have removed the move request from [[A-Ha]]. As LW:PN requires an initial capital letter, it will be moved to A-ha. Kiefer talk contribs admin 02:14, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
The Jackson 5 Edit
Can you provide a link to explain your request? I know that some releases had Jackson 5 on the cover (or Jackson Five). I also know they later became The Jacksons. But I believe The Jackson 5 to be correct. See also wikipedia article. ♫♫Яєdxx ♪♫♪♫♪ Actions Words 06:44, 25 March 2009 (UTC) EDIT:Ah apologies, I didn't visit the Category:Requests For Moves page.
Joy Division:Walked In Line Edit
The issue is not what was recorded first but which was officially released first. These are two very different things. The recording you reference was not officially released until 13 years after the first release on Joy Division:Still (1981). The lyrics should reflect the first official release of the song which was how I entered them. Also, these lyrics are as they officially appear in the Joy Division:Heart And Soul (1997) booklet. The album references in the song template and the annotation on the Bronze edit clearly reflect what version of the song is in question.
If you would like to publish a different version of the lyrics then it should be qualified as such. I would suggest doing this as Joy Division:They Walked In Line as the track is titled on the 1994 release you reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_%28Joy_Division_album%29. In addition, the Joy Division:Warsaw (1994) album should be added and referenced it in the Song template of the song. If you would like, I can do all of this for you. -- Rossetyler 00:37, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
- BTW, there is some question at to whether the Warsaw release was ever official as wikipedia suggests. There are certainly many bootleg releases of this material but this stuff shouldn't count. While the notes in the Heart And Soul booklet do describe the recording session, there is no mention of a official "Warsaw" release. This version should definitely take a back seat to the version released on Still. -- Rossetyler 00:44, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
