Discussion about "Label" or "distributor"

Hi Roy. In the recent discussion about "Release history" table, Andrew318 said that those are distributors, not labels. So if you have any further comments. Regards. 2001:D08:2910:FB3C:17E0:D15C:D305:FC85 (talk) 09:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editor experience invitation

Hi TheAmazingPeanuts :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 02:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hey! Could you please elaborate what exactly is misleading? The score is not "4/5" (as the number 4 doesn't appear on the page), it's 4 mics out of 5. Their rating system is based on the images of a microphone. And {{Rating}} is "designed to provide an image rating system". AstonishingTunesAdmirer 連絡 00:46, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AstonishingTunesAdmirer: Mics are not stars; in Template:Rating, it clearly says don't use where the source does not use stars, because it is inaccurate and misleading. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 05:15, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not so clearly, actually. Considering the rest of the paragraph, this sentence reads as a warning against replacing purely numerical scores with stars. AstonishingTunesAdmirer 連絡 06:51, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AstonishingTunesAdmirer: It clearly says don't use stars if the source (such as The Source) doesn't use them, which is the reason why we use the star rating template for The Source ratings in the first place. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 07:20, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Stalker here--disagree as well. Anything that is symbolic--and I change MusicHound numbers (it used "bones") all the time--is represented symbolically with stars. But we can bring this up in a wider forum for clarification. Cheers. Caro7200 (talk) 10:44, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've opened a new topic over at the template's talk page (I actually mentioned MusicHound there too). I think it would be better to wait to see if we get any input there first. And if not, I thought about moving it to WikiProject Music/Albums later, but I'm open to suggestions. AstonishingTunesAdmirer 連絡 10:58, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why were my changes reverted?

Hey, I corrected Ref 85 because the present link is for the NME review for DAMN and not GKMC. I changed it to the anonymous GKMC review on the NME website. I therefore added the NME review score to the score table. This change was also reverted. Suomwe (talk) 20:43, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Suomwe: The link doesn't need to be "fixed" if there's an archive for it, and it doesn't need to be added in the template either. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 21:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what you mean because the link is to a review of an entirely different album. And what was the issue with me adding the NME review? Suomwe (talk) 10:02, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Suomwe: You clearly don't understand Wikipedia; if you pay attention to the source, there is an archive link to the original review, and the review don't need to be added in the template because there are already 10 reviews. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 16:59, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's almost as if we're all here simply trying to do our best and learn as we go along. Thanks for the lesson friend! Suomwe (talk) 00:27, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
