thread_title:  Removing reviews 

message: Does anyone know if the Automatic for the People version of this song is the same as the one on Songs in the Key of X? If so, a note about William S. Burroughs' involvement should be added.
Second, is there any source for calling Star Me Kitten "the worst ever R.E.M. album track", or is this merely the prejudice of the author? SabineLaGrande 07:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Star Me Kitten 

message: "The photograph on the front cover is not related to the restaurant: it shows a sign on a motel in Miami, where part of the album was recorded."
Does anyone know what motel this was, or where I can find a picture of it (other than on the cover)?  I just can't picture this being a sign, or even part of a sign.  It always looked like some sort of weapon, or old tool to me, and I'd like to see it in its entirety. --BennyD 19:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Cover 

message: Hey! Between the two of you, you have edited over 10,000 pages; I have edited over 3500. As a disinterested observer, I am citing the unofficial "way too much time on our hands" doctrine: Let's 
compromise!
a) Dudesleeper is correct on the dating. The reason for this is very simple: for many years now release dates have standardized on Tuesdays in America and Mondays in other places. The difference of a single day is not worth this craziness.
*Proposed:  We can use (as as has been the case elsewhere) one date with the UK release date and the second with the US one. You can even use cute little flag icons for them. (b) There are no explicit guidelines on how to incorporate an album article in a discography.
*Proposed: We add a second discography using this format, with the albums discography taking top spot, the chronological one the second:
| Misc         = 
Discuss, please. -- Fantailfan (talk) 20:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please stop the revert wars! 

message: Wesley Dodds, why did you revert the whole article? Please explain-without discussion it seems premature to have done so. Fantailfan (talk) 13:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reversion of April 10, 2008 

message: While only highest certification needed is a good idea for discussion, it is not policy nor, as far as I know. (It may have been 'wikipolicificated' elsewhere, but such policy is not referenced on WP:ALBUMS). Listing all certs may be, from some points of view, an indiscriminate collection of information but I don't believe so myself. <- Fantailfan (talk) 11:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem. I don't mind leaving it.  It's just that if an album has gone 2X platinum, it's obvious that it already went gold and platinum. Wolfer68 (talk) 15:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: sometimes it is significant - like if it takes ten years to go platinum after it goes gold in the first week - generally it's just clutter, but I'm an either-or kind of guy when it comes to these kinds of lists. shrug. Fantailfan (talk) 15:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Full list of Certifications vs. Highest only 

message: Its embarrassing to see everywhere false sales numbers, which were made by fans
The album was certified 4xPLATINUM in the usa. Meaning it was shipped at least 4 million times. Now I see everywhere on rem articles false numbers. For example here 5,500 000   That's totally wrong. Because RIAA would have certified it 5xPLATINUM if it was sold so much
I know there were club sales in the usa but it never sold 1,500,000 times via those clubs 
Please change it because years ago I asked Billboard.com and they had perfect and accurate numbers. 4 Million copies were sold   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.111.57.236 (talk) 12:16, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
