Talk:The Vicar of Bray (song)

message: ...how do people feel about merging this into The Vicar of Bray? The title "Annotated Lyrics to..." is pretty unusual for a Wikipedia article, and I see no reason this can't just be sections of that article: it will probably result in more people seeing it. -- Jmabel 17:57, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
*What about naming this article "The Vicar of Bray(song)"? We have three or four "Vicars":
** The song
** the population genetics concept, which draws on the song
** and two candidates for the historical Vicar upon whom the song is based (Geogre makes the persuasive argument that each was the basis).
:I don't want to obscure the population genetics concept, but neither do I want a disambiguation page: disambiguation is inappropriate in this context, because all of the meanings build on the same concept. My inclination is to change the title (as it apparently is "un-Wikipedia-ish"), and leave the non-Song page with the historical vicars and the pop. genetics, with a link to the song. This is partly influence by the length of the song page: putting non-song information in there will bury that information in the depths of the article. 
:We have two main questions to answer "Who or what was the Vicar of Bray?" and "What is the Vicar of Bray (song) about?", and two pages to make the respective answers, namely "A 15th-16th century Vicar of flexible principle, who was made notorious by a song or a pop.genetics concept that uses that song as a metaphor" and "a song that recounts the (imagined) life of the Vicar of Bray, illustrative of many events in English History, viz.....")

message: Major General's Song -- although I'd have titled it "The Very Model of a Modern Major General" -- from Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, which I'd vociferously argue against deleting. -- orthogonal 21:53, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: This edit is a change, but not necessarily an improvement. I'm hesitant to just revert, but I don't think either is a great summary of what occurred. Does someone want to take this on? - Jmabel | Talk 05:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: User:Mon Vier removed with  the musical notation with the edit summary "Reluctantly rm Vorbis text due to formatting problem - righting it is sadly beyond me." I don't see any formatting problem, although I can imagine that the page would not display well on screens with fewer than 1280 pixels, including probably most mobile devices. If that is indeed the concern, I think we need a wider discussion whether the majority of readers should be denied information because a minority have problems displaying it. I have now ensured that the lyrics will not be wrapped into very short lines, which will require horizontal scrolling on narrow displays. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:40, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
