Thoughts?--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 00:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the NME ranks this as the greatest album ever, why is it only rated as a 'mid-importance album' on wikipedia. This doesn't make sense. 80.1.165.31 (talk) 21:03, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because the NME has always been prone to going way over the top, and have been known to call 3 or 4 albumns a week "the greatest album ever"? - SchroCat (talk) 21:07, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I'll see if I can make some work here over the next couple of days. At least bring it to GA. Zwerg Nase (talk) 14:55, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Is there a reason why this page is titled "The Queen Is Dead", rather than "The Queen is Dead", which would be more MOS compliant? Most third party sources use a lower case i in the middle: any reason why we are not? - SchroCat (talk) 11:42, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The cover art cleary shows it as "Is"? 80.1.165.31 (talk) 20:58, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Which isn't a good reason to go against the MoS. - SchroCat (talk) 21:02, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What better reason could there be? The artist chooses the name, not Wikipedia's MoS. Zwerg Nase (talk) 14:54, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jangle Pop Genre?

IS there enough reason to add jangle pop as a genre? The Smiths are cited as a jangle pop band on both the Wikipedia page for Jangle pop and for List of jangle pop bands, and articles about TQID such as this one on Consequence of Sound are tagged with "jangle pop". Does this warrant adding it to the genre list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.220.233 (talk) 10:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary hatnote?

Given what just happened, it's likely people will be searching on this phrase. Should we put in a temporary hatnote to redirect them to what they might well want to read? Daniel Case (talk) 18:08, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This has been done. Daniel Case (talk) 22:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
