Greatest Hits... So Far!Greatest Hits... So Far!!!

It's not decorative; decorative would be like Se7en or "TiK ToK" or P!nk. There are many articles with multiple exclamation points, including a band called !!!, their eponymous debut album, albums like !!!Fuck You!!! and Then Some and !!Destroy-Oh-Boy!!, and combinations of punctuation like albums ?!, Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!), Get Happy!!, songs "Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check" and "What's It Gonna Be?!", and the documentary ¿¡Revolución!?. There is even a GA: Super Punch-Out!!, one in a series of similarly named games. This is the proper name reported by the record label and multiple other reliable, verifiable sources, some of which are given above. Yvesnimmo (talk) 03:05, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing

[edit]

As of now, only the tracklists of the Australian CD and the deluxe edition bonus DVD have been officially confirmed. Apart from the tracklist announced on pinkspage.com, which is specifically for the Australian edition, I have seen at least two different CD tracklists that appear to be official.--130.226.70.114 (talk) 15:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

[edit]

Shouldn't the name of the article be "Greatest Hits... So Far!!!" and not "Greatest Hits... So Far!" ?? that's the way it is written on the album cover. MariAna_MiMi (Talk) 21:37, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal is above. :) Yvesnimmo (talk) 21:46, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most Girls

[edit]

Why wasn't Most Girls included? It wasn't exactly a flop. Tooironic (talk) 22:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Track Listing

[edit]

Tracks 14 and 15: "Funhouse" and "I Don't Believe You" aren't on my edition of the CD i bought. Which version is this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.187.80 (talk) 10:30, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've the got the same thing. I updated the page to reflect this error.

Looks like my copy is the international version without Hearthbreak Down and my DVD copy is the american one.... WTH?!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.149.137.143 (talk) 01:18, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest Hits... So Far!!!Greatest Hits... So Far!!! (Pink album) – Predictably, as happens with all generic song/album titles, someone else released a similar product with name indistingishable to the common reader: Greatest Hits So Far. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:39, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Tomica. This is not only article with this title , please see dab page. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:42, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The only one with !'s, though. Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:44, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:SNUGGUMS so how is the common reader meant to know that !!! = Pink, and no !!! = Zac Brown Band. This is just decoration on the album cover. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:48, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus is clearly against moving this page at this time. (non-admin closure) Egsan Bacon (talk) 21:27, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]


– This title contains elipsis before "So Far" and is then followed by THREE exclamation marks, whilst the Zac Brown Band album solely has elipsis at the end of the full title. No one in their right mind is going to type in three exclamation marks and expect to end up anywhere other than at the Pink album. Unreal7 (talk) 21:43, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose; I'm thinking that the names are similar enough that the parenthetical disambiguation is a good idea to avoid confusion. Not everyone is a big enough pink fan to know how many exclamation points the title has.  InsertCleverPhraseHere InsertTalkHere  23:39, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong oppose per ICPH above. MOS:TM playful punctuation differences should not be used. These should all redirect to Greatest Hits So Far, and "The Greatest Hits, So Far" should be moved to add parenthetical disambiguation as well. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:57, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose totally anti-User. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:02, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I, like the great majority of readers, have never heard of these two albums, and should I ever be interested in one of them I will rely on sources to find, but would I count or even notice the number of exclamation marks? Would the exclamation marks be on the source? Wouldn't I, like everybody else, go to the ZB album first, even though I am looking for the Pink album? Let's get people to the article they want. I also note it's only three months since the RM that moved the article to this title and the result was quite convincing then--Richhoncho (talk) 11:00, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Support. We distinguish some titles by capitalization differences alone, and rightfully so. These are two topics each with a similar but unique title. Since they are unique, no matter how similar, there is no justification for disambiguation. Whether you or anyone else has "heard of" these albums is irrelevant. These are the titles used in reliable sources; that's all that matters. It's not our fault that they are relatively obscure, nor is it our job to address this by adding descriptive information to the titles. --В²C 20:23, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose These are only unique based on stylization not on the title itself. A disambiguator is quite helpful in these cases. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:26, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Per WP:SMALLDETAILS policy, "small details are usually sufficient to distinguish topics". How is a disambiguator "helpful" when the two titles are unique? WP:DISAMBIGUATION is for disambiguating titles that are identical, not titles that are similar, even if the only distinction is stylization. --В²C 00:38, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • It also says this is for "when typographically near-identical expressions have distinct meanings". That doesn't apply here as these both fall under the same topic of music albums, thus not a distinct meaning. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:37, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Sorry, but I disagree with your interpretation. The bottom line is that the only reason for WP:DISAMBIGUATION is because WP articles must have unique titles for the technical reason that we use the titles as part of the URLs (which must be unique) to access the articles. If not for that technical reason, we would not need to disambiguate at all. The planet and element Mercury could both be titled Mercury, for example. But in this case we already have unique titles; therefore no reason whatsoever to disambiguate. --В²C 03:02, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note that WP:SMALLDETAILS "policy" (?) has been messed around by a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS of 2 or 3 editors to say the opposite of what most of Wikipedia actually does, which is not to include stylisms as the more normal titling behaviour noted by User:Richhoncho,User:Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars above. It probably needs an RFC to restore WP:SMALLDETAILS so the article corpus dog is wagging the guideline tail rather than vice versa, the current misleading state of WP:SMALLDETAILS is potentially destabilizing.

Greatest Hits... So Far!!! (Pink album)Greatest Hits... So Far!!! – There are two bands separated literally by one exclamation mark: Attack Attack! and Attack! Attack!. Unreal7 (talk) 18:11, 3 May 2019 (UTC)--Relisted. – Ammarpad (talk) 05:59, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unreal7 We need a more legitimate rationale. The subject is Greatest Hits... So Far!!! (Pink album) and you are talking about Greatest Hits... So Far!!! (Pink album). Neel.arunabh (talk) 03:45, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And if confusing readers and obscuring artist names is a legitimate objective then why isn't this a multimove to remove (Zac Brown Band album) from Greatest Hits So Far... (Zac Brown Band album). Surely if we're trying to send some Zac Brown Band fans to the Pink album we should return the favour and send some Pink fans to the Zac Brown Band album. If we're going to confuse readers, lets do it to all readers. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:45, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I do think that makes sense to remove the "(Zac Brown Band album)" from the Zac Brown page. Nikki Lee 1999 (talk) 08:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

– These two articles are clearly in violation of WP:MISPLACED as of now, and they have been since the articles were moved to their current titles. This is also pretty clearly a WP:SMALLDETAILS case to me (the punctuation is very different), so I much prefer removing the disambiguation to redirecting the punctuated versions to the DAB page; hatnotes can handle that confusion fine. I feel less strong about the Zac Brown Band album, but the exclamation marks are definitely enough for the Pink album to be distinct, at least for me.

Support both per nom. Definitely SMALLDETAILS. estar8806 (talk) 20:19, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if either or both of these moves don't pass, I will be redirecting the undisambiguated version to the DAB page because the reason it would exist would be because the titles are too ambiguous without disambiguation (hence me citing WP:MISPLACED). Skarmory (talk • contribs) 09:53, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't do that. That's something that should be left for the closer. Right now, there doesn't seem to be any consensus for doing that. Station1 (talk) 18:29, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It hasn't been discussed (so there hasn't been any discussion about whether it has consensus or not), and I probably should've put in my opening comment that my intent was to redirect to the DAB per MISPLACED if these moves did not pass. I will leave it to the closer (probably a good idea), but I don't see a policy based reason that suggests these undisambiguated titles should remain redirects to disambiguated titles. If the problem with the titles is that the punctuation isn't enough difference for a reader to disambiguate between them, they should be sent to the DAB page so they can find which one they were actually searching for.
