Award section

[edit]

I removed the award section; individual tracks have received nominations but this compilation received none and thus the section is misleading. The track that won a Grammy Award before is sufficiently mentioned in the article body. Hekerui (talk) 18:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved per nom. "Featuring Norah Jones" created as a redirect. DrKiernan (talk) 18:35, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]


...Featuring...Featuring Norah Jones – This album is called "...Featuring Norah Jones" on both her bio on iTunes, and her own website. Currently, ...Featuring Norah Jones redirects here, however, it should be there other way around, since the proper title is "...Featuring Norah Jones" User:Dan0 00 01:12, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see amazon handles it the way you suggest[1]. Would like others opinions on this. Your title would avoid DAB issues. Wbm1058 (talk) 17:27, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see anything on MOS:TM that would support rendering it as ...Featuring rather than ...Featuring Norah Jones. Could you explain further? Dan0 00 (talk) 17:45, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say it should be rendered as "...Featuring". Though I oppose this particular move, that doesn't mean I oppose any possible move. In fact, I would support a move to Featuring Norah Jones. Powers T 01:02, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I misread your comment. However, I fail to see how that's better, since that's not the official name, or what that has to do with MOS:TM. Perhaps you are referring to: 'Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official"'? That's the closest thing I can see to support moving it to Featuring Norah Jones, although I don't think it exactly applies. Dan0 00 (talk) 03:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the ellipsis appears to be primarily decorative and we frequently omit such unnecessary punctuation. "Official" names don't hold much sway here either. Powers T 19:40, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Google Play also renders it as ..Featuring Norah Jones. In fact, I have yet to see one authoritative reference that has it rendered as simply ..Featuring. Dan0 00 (talk) 17:45, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*agree with Powers, Support Featuring Norah Jones, without the three dots, per MOS:TM:

Avoid using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration, or simply substitute for English words (e.g., ♥ used for "love"). In the article about a trademark, it is acceptable to use decorative characters the first time the trademark appears, but thereafter, an alternative that follows the standard rules of punctuation should be used:

  • avoid: Macy*s, skate., [ yellow tail ], Se7en, Alien3, Toys Я Us
  • instead, use: Macy's, Skate, Yellow Tail, Seven, Alien 3, Toys "R" Us
Note that the stylized three-dots that began with this album continued with the next album, Little Broken Hearts, and many that kept the dots for this album dropped them for the next one. As to whether this is a genuine use of an ellipsis, we can only speculate on what word, sentence or whole section from the original text being quoted has been intentionally omitted—or if the "original text" ever was more than this. Per ellipsis, When placed at the beginning or end of a sentence, the ellipsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy or longing. I don't know what it means when placed at the beginning of a phrase.
