Late Registration edit

Hi. Your edit to this article seems very constructive, but I was wondering why you removed some of the original references template format and replaced it with inline citations. Dan56 (talk) 08:34, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've had issues in the past on some articles with the cite web and cite journal templates. Bots will come in and reverse the work parameter if it is de-italicised, and so I like to not use the templates anymore. Plus inline citations can be done just as fast and are more stealthy.

I was actually going to start a discussion on the talk page but I know that you are a major contributor to the article, so I will ask you here. How come there isn't a singles chart for the article? I think it would add to it. Also, I was noticing that the track listing and the personnel sections have some of the same info. What do you thing about taking the producer credit out of the track listing and just having it in the personnel section? Mattchewbaca (meow) 08:51, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About singles charts, I've been told before that if there are seperate articles for an album's singles, there's no need in duplicating the charts in the album's article. For the personnel section, I think Allmusic's Credits section for Late Registration should be adapted and replace the table. Dan56 (talk) 18:09, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, somebody obviously put a lot of work into that table and for it to just be taken down without a proper consensus I feel would not be right. The table is more detailed than the credits at Allmusic, but in my opinion, a better approach would be to hide the table with a collapse feature. As it is right now it does take up a lot of space and does make the article a little clunky. I think a collapse option is rightly justified, maybe even for the Accolade table as well. If so, I still feel that the Producer line should be removed from the Track listing. Your thoughts? Mattchewbaca (meow) 22:39, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about moving the producer and songwriting credits from the table to the track listing template, which is missing writing credits. I don't know about collapse for any of them, though. There shouldn't be a section with nothing but a hidden table. Dan56 (talk) 22:51, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking at the table and imagining producer and songwriting credits not being there just seems like something would be missing. The Accolades table could be collapsed and placed just under the prose subsection of the same name. Maybe Personnel and Release history could be merged together, that way there won't be a section with just a collapsed table. Peer review of the article states that the ToC is too long and some sections should be merged. Everything in the Charts, sales and procession section aside from the procession table I feel should be bold-faced font instead of level 3 subheading. The reasons for that are, it would shrink the ToC as recommended, and it is compact enough to the point that level three subheadings are not necessary. Here is the view of the section if you click on the corresponding heading link. Also, I'll just assume that you are watching my talk page, and I won't leave anymore talkback tags on your page after this one. Mattchewbaca (meow) 23:37, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What are your feelings on my latest proposals for the article? Mattchewbaca (meow) 22:09, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I think the only necessary change is removing the redundant writer/producer liners in the personnel table, and adding writing credits to the track listing template. Dan56 (talk) 22:14, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All I'm trying to do is improve the article. That's why I took the time to track down refs and even archive some of them. If you don't want to aspire for a better overall product than I won't edit on your articles anymore. Mattchewbaca (meow) 22:22, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They're not mine, they are free to any constructive contributions by anyone. My previous comment is only one opinion. Dan56 (talk) 22:40, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
