Adding borders to the table
[edit]I think the table class should be changed to "wikitable" so that there are visible borders. This makes it easier to line up (view) the date, song title and artist at once.

- Oppose - Well obviously this is strictly based on one's preference for visual presentation. I do believe that certain things should be in a table (for example, discography pages with a bunch of numbers and chart information) but other things definitely should not (such as album track lists). To me, these pages look fine. And I question sometimes... does everything have to be in a table? Just seems like people are just sticking anything they can into a table when it doesn't really need to be in order to make it "pretty". Aside from this, there are so many of these pages, not just for the dance chart, but for the albums chart, pop chart, R&B, modern rock, mainstream rock, etc. etc. and not just for the U.S. but a lot of other countries as well. Are they all going to be changed too? - eo (talk) 01:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- All of the data is already in tables, so the only change that would have to be made is adding class="wikitable". Adding borders doesn't make it pretty, it makes it more readable. - Tjwallace87 (talk) 02:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Understood. Just don't agree - I don't believe borders are needed; I find it readable as it is. - eo (talk) 17:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Break You
[edit]I was on the Billboard website today and it listed the artist for this song as "Ralph Falcon featuring the Weather Girls", so I added the 'featuring' part and a wiki-link. I hope that's right. Zephyrnthesky (talk) 03:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I meant to do that and completely forgot.... the "featuring" part was added to the song credit like 2 weeks ago - it originally charted with just Falcon's name. - eo (talk) 10:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well that's interesting...so maybe I shouldn't have changed it at all? If the artist when it actually hit #1 was just Ralph, and the Weather Girls are added as featured after it's going down the charts, do they all still get credited with a #1? I honestly don't know. Maybe somebody knows somebody at Billboard and can verify that. Zephyrnthesky (talk) 15:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Song credits on the charts are not decided by Billboard - they simply go by what is negotiated by record labels, artists and artist management. Obviously there was a change during its run, so I think what you did is fine. - eo (talk) 15:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Cool. Thanks for the info, eo. Zephyrnthesky (talk) 15:47, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
