Talk:Reba McEntire discography

Discography guidelines

Okay, I'm sick of this. People just do NOT know what to put under "type". Please, everybody -- read this page. Also, can we please refrain from copy-pasting the allmusic.com guide reviews into the articles? I believe that's called a copyright infringement.

You're Gonna Be

I realize that Reba's discography page lists the song only as "You're Gonna Be", and that it was simply "You're Gonna Be" on the album. However, it was officially titled "You're Gonna Be (Always Loved By Me)" on the charts; see this Billboard chart as an example.

Removal of song-writing credits, times

What is the reason for removal of songwriting credits, running times, etc., from all of the albums? Backspace 08:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Christmas albums

I'm not sure I concur with listing her Christmas albums under the compilation heading (other than the third, which is a compilation of the first two). It seems to me those first two belong under the studio albums heading. Agree or disagree? --Mwalimu59 (talk) 19:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Created

The initial article "Reba McEntire discography" listing Reba McEntire recordings was created on 14 November 2006 by occasional User:Tcorey, with photos of major albums of Reba McEntire from 1977 to 2007, until it was understood that, per fair-use under copyright, album-cover photos must each be accompanied by related commentary reviews. The list was later revamped extensively, adding a list of singles. -Wikid77 (talk) 02:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Defines multiple albums/songs

The article "Reba McEntire discography" represents a sophisticated approach to describing musical works, in a centralized area, without flooding Wikipedia with hundreds of smaller articles. (The infamous Pokemon-per-article approach in 2007 had generated over 453 articles, one for each Pokemon character, before getting combined into groups.) Instead, by having a main discography article, famous song/album titles can be handled by redirecting them to the discography, and then adding a bottom paragraph when special details should be noted. Articles containing lists were formerly discouraged until the volume of real-world information was considered, and a Table-of-Contents was understood to be a list in each article. Regardless, the uber-famous ("notable") songs can still have separate articles, but the discography is a courteous method to document most recordings in a modest manner, without spamming Wikipedia with hundreds of Reba articles, even though the current fame of Reba McEntire might actually warrant such numerous articles. Overall, it is an elegant, yet modest and sensible, approach to creating an encyclopedic view of Reba McEntire's recordings.

It might also be appropriate to create a "Reba McEntire major hits" article to off-load further detailed paragraphs about several major-hit recordings, without expanding the overview article for the complete discography. The concept is to balance detailed text against the tendency to generate numerous articles about a subject. (Some astronomy readers took a set of 35 files listing numbered asteroids, stored on a Harvard website, and generated 1,906 articles, splitting each file of 5,000 asteroids into 60 Wikipedia articles, causing much alarm.) It is appreciated when editors maintain a modest stance about the expansion of information. -Wikid77 (talk) 02:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Every Other Weekend

On this week's 2/29/2008 R & R country charts, it shows that "Every Other Weekend" is credited now as a duet with Skip Ewing or Kenny Chesney. Do the chart placements apply to both Skip and Kenny now since it is now an official single? BravesFan2006 talk 27 February 2008 10:30 CST (UTC)

Reba's Music Videos

Why is there a tab at the right of the discography page that says Reba McEntire has 37 Music Videos, but when you click the arrow to take you directly to that part of the page, it doesn't exist. Is there no such page that lists all her videos? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.127.99 (talk) 07:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
