Requested move 3

[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: article not moved. Armbrust The Homunculus 02:00, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]


MDNA (album)MDNA – The Madonna's album is clearly the primary topic of MDNA. Google search engine shows 13,700,000 results for MDNA Madonna vs 136,000 results for MDNA mitochondria, it's over one-hundred times more. I don't understand why MDNA should be disambiguation, when the Mitochondrial DNA article itself doesn't use that title. Moreover, mDNA is not its only initialism, but only the alternative spelling of mtDNA. Per Google, there are 3,220,000 results for mtDNA mitochondria vs 136,000 results for mDNA mitochondria. You can see that mtDNA is more widely used for Mitochondrial DNA, rather than MDNA. Regards. Bluesatellite (talk) 12:06, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Which is exactly why I didn't do that. This is an encyclopedia, we use Google Book search and Google Scholar precisely to avoid the perspective of fan pages. And I repeat we have a display issue with mDNA which makes mDNA redirect an impossibility, and with all respect to the members of WikiProject Madonna, no amount of claiming that MDNA and mDNA are different will change the simple technological reality: we have a display issue with mDNA which makes mDNA redirect an impossibility. A move proposal based on arguing against the technical limits of Wikipedia's software has failed before it started. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:15, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with I'm Addicted

[edit]

Since it was recently suggested to propose a merge, this song doesn't warrant a separate article per WP:NSONGS as there is not significant coverage outside of album reviews from reliable secondary sources. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:33, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Album Cover

[edit]

Why is the Deluxe edition used at the album cover image? It should be the standard edition, like every other album page. --75.168.153.251 (talk) 19:41, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree KARANSUTTA (talk) 07:40, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Songswriters in personnel

[edit]

Is this necessary? The songwriters are already credited in the Track listing. --Jennica Talk 11:22, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The personnel is reflected as the album liner notes, and its credited there although the track list also separately credits them. —IB [ Poke ] 11:31, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Records

[edit]

After this album was released in digital format, I think that is important to specify or mention the iTunes record that she had with this album: "the biggest day of pre-orders ever" topping the charts in 50 countries. Chrishonduras (Diskussion) 08:00, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will include that info, but not the charts as iTunes charts are WP:BADCHARTS. —IB [ Poke ] 13:31, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's what I mean, just the information, not the charts. I just mentioned the 50 countries to specify in the text. But looks fine. Thanks. Chrishonduras (Diskussion) 17:55, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Background info

[edit]

information where Madonna talks about MDNA and working with Solvieg and working again with Orbit that can be used on Background section --Chrishm21 (talk) 21:38, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but I think this is all added, but with better sourcing in the article's background. —IB [ Poke ] 04:51, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

[edit]

Ok, I'll bite -- what's wrong with http://lescharts.ch/weekchart.asp?year=2012&date=20120408&cat=a ? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:16, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@SarekOfVulcan: we already have the official Swiss charts added in the article, where it shows that MDNA peaked at number 2. The IP/unregistered user is adding a local chart Swiss Romandie, which is not even affiliated with IFPI Switzerland and is generated by lescharts.com. My hunch is the IP continues to add it since in that chart, MDNA is showing as number one. —IB [ Poke ] 14:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
ETA: The IP keeps on changing to random numbers everytime and I have stopped explaining after the first two times also. Hence requested for protection. —IB [ Poke ] 14:22, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that clarifies it better than the edit summaries did. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:40, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, cause those edit summaries, IndianBio, explain nothing at all. Drmies (talk) 23:03, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New source

[edit]

@IndianBio: I just wanted to let you know that Glamour magazine has published a new article about the album (Madonna Released the Ultimate Divorce Album 6 Years Ago—You Just Didn't Listen). I am not certain if it would help the article at all, but I just wanted to let you know about it. Aoba47 (talk) 22:52, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, just saw it!! Thanks Aoba :) —IB [ Poke ] 23:00, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Anytime! Just wanted to help it. It is strange to see an article published about the album now. I actually really enjoy this album so it is pretty nice :). Aoba47 (talk) 23:03, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

10 Years Later

[edit]

Billboard and PopMatters have both published new articles about the album because of its 10-year-anniversary. The articles are the following: Madonna’s MDNA Turns 10, But It’s No Lost Classic and Madonna Reveled in DJ Club Culture with MDNA 10 Years Ago. Both would seem useful to the article, especially from a legacy point of view. Aoba47 (talk) 13:17, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
