Talk:Alex Hassilev

message: This stub is virtually un-sourced, and has elements that suggest it is self-promotion.  Particularly un-Wikipedial is the use of gratuitous superlatives, viz., "accomplished, gifted, successful, wonderful, excellent, magnificent". Mr. Hassilev was a very junior member of The Limelighters (far overshadowed by Yarborough and Gottlieb), and a minor producer in Los Angeles (how many producers work from a home studio?), with virtually no credentials.  An Administrator needs to reconsider this page.  Josephbyrd 20:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Zal Yanovsky

message: :Could you list the title tracks to his Alive and Well album?
"Raven in a Cage," "You Talk Too Much," "Last Date" (instrumental), "Little Bitty Pretty One," "Alive and Well in Argentina," "Brown to Blue," "Priscilla Millionaira," "I Almost Lost My Mind," "Hip Toad," "Lt. Schtinkckhausen" (instrumental).
A 1971 reissue of the 1968 album added the single, "As Long as You're Here" (A-side only). According to this reissue's liner notes, "As Long as You're Here" was the first single ever issued by the Buddah label.
"Alive and Well" was recorded in the U.S., not Canada, before Yanovsky moved back to his native country.  Interestingly, this was one of several albums that Yanovsky and his Lovin' Spoonful replacement, Jerry Yester, co-produced together around 1968-69. Others included Pat Boone's "Departure" and Tim Buckley's "Happy Sad."
Yanovsky joined the other three original Lovin' Spoonful members in 2000 for the group's induction into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of fame.  The four performed "Do You Belive in Magic" during the televised portion of the ceremony.

Talk:Exclusive monotheism

message: (confusion with monolatry or maybe with henotheism) Is this correct? Can someone be both mono and polytheist? Say, if someone believes in a typically monotheistic god A, but also in a group of gods B, C, D, and E, wouldn't him be just a polytheist, as "poly" semantically encompasses the "mono"?
I think that the better definition of this term would come from the logical antonym of inclusive monotheism, which does not have an article of its own, but the "theism" article briefly mentions:
:Inclusive monotheism: The belief that there is only one deity, and that all other claimed deities are just different names for it.
Exclusive monotheism would be, with that in mind, the belief that there is only one deity, and that all other cliamed deities ara just plain superstition, with no relation with a deity of any kind, or whatever else the belief states (such as demons, or devil's lies), but not a real deity for sure. 
Actually the article mentions the definition of exclusive monotheist as well, but somehow I haven't seen it:
:Exclusive monotheism: The belief that there is only one deity, and that all other claimed deities are false and distinct from it, either invented, demonic, or simply incorrect.

Talk:Something About the Way You Look Tonight

message: Wikipedia's own description of a Double A-side disc (wikilinked from this article) is very different to the meaning intended here. This article describes a disc with TWO songs on the A-side, and a third song on the B-side, whereas the linked reference describes a disc with only one song on each side, but both songs intended for air-play on radio. I'm not sure whether the linked article should be expanded to cover this unusual case, or whether it should be made clear in this article that "Double A-side" has an different meaning to usual. But something should be done - at the moment it's confusing, and/or Wikipedia is self-contradicting. And the same applies to the article Candle in the Wind 1997. Ian Page (talk) 12:15, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I can see there is no confusion. Double A-sides have always been singles with both tracks intended for airplay.

As far as arguments go, the obvious one should be how did you determine "Alex" is more common than "Alexis" before blindly moving, because some announcer called him so? Well, "Alexis" is used a lot more commonly in the media that has been covering his career years before he was a MLB player, as a matter of fact its rare seeing the nickname "Alex" in these newspapers. Want an recent example? here is an article from El Nuevo Día, Puerto Rico's leading newspaper, written four days ago.
