message: Would it be possible to stop referencing this site whenever a piece of news is brought up? They've claimed on no less than 5 occasions that "inside" sources have given them info that would later turn out to be false, such as claiming songs like "Stop the Clocks" and "Boy With The Blues" would be on the album, only to contradict themselves later. The site has proven itself to be completely unreliable on new information, and it's only correct informatin is news that has been relayed from more reliable sources.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.135.92 (talk) 14:21, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

message: As there seems to be confusion here, album credits are to be done as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. Therefore, album credits are to be listed as such:
All songs by Noel Gallagher except where noted.
#"Song 001" - 3:00
#"Song 002" - 3:10
#"Song 003" (Liam Gallagher) - 5:44
#"Song 004" - 9:45
#"Song 005" (Gem Archer) - 4:43
#"Song 006" (L. Gallagher) - 2:19
#"Song 007" (Archer) - 3:38
Etc., etc., etc.
So, as shown in the above example, after a person's name is listed once only the last name need be listed again unless he happens to have the same last name as some else listed previously. When this is the case, only the first letter of the first name (L. Gallagher) is to be listed, not the complete name. The wiki page even uses the Gallagher brothers as an example of this (no, I didn't edit them in it, lol). Darwin's Bulldog (talk) 16:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Well the protection request seems a little extreme, I only put in for a partial protection, not a full on lockdown for two days.

message: Who listed STC as a hidden-track and where is your reference? I really doubt the version that just leaked will be included on the new album. 80.2.179.52 (talk) 18:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Stop the Clocks

message: Per WP:ALBUM#LEAK, an album leak should not be reported unless A) it merits an official response from the band or B) it receives broad media coverage.  Leaks happen to most record releases, and a passing mention in the media does not merit inclusion on Wikipedia, especially when it hasn't yielded a response from the band or its management.  The Brothers Gallagher have not commented on the leak, while the label has not changed its release schedule because of the leak.  
See Hail to the Thief for a rare example on an album leak is notable for inclusion on Wiki. --Madchester (talk) 04:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Why do the reviews keep getting taken down? Reviews from The Quietus, FHM and The Riff have all been taken down for no apparent reason.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxLacey (talk • contribs) 18:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:ALBUM#Review sites for review notability guidelines.  Wiki's not a platform for promoting up-and-coming websites.  Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 16:24, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reviews 

message: I noticed an editor (likely with multiple IPs) has been constantly adding "psych rock" as a genre in the infobox.
If you wish to add a new genre to the album, you carry the burden of proof to provide the proper citations and references for that entry per WP:V and WP:RS.  You can't simply tell other editors to look at the reviews and figure it out themselves.
Furthermore, current reviews only give passing mention the album's psychedelic rock elements; none of the authors claim that belongs in that genre.  You can't twist the author's commentary to fit your own argument per WP:SYN.  
Thanks --Madchester (talk) 19:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to mention psychedelic rock is used only to refer to 60s and 70s bands; later bands get the term "neo psychedelia". Regardless it's no more "psychedlic" than any other Oasis record. WesleyDodds (talk) 05:40, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Psychedelic Rock

message: Am I alone in thinking that this section is in the need of a big cleanup? Firstly, I think that the previews from when before the album was released should be taken off. It would have been useful before the album is released for people who were interested and wanted some speculation, but now that the album has been released, it should focus more on it's critical and commercial reception to date.
Also, there is too much focus on one critic. Someone has more or less quoted the whole review from Rolling Stone. No point to that. It should be a brief summary on the critics' overall opinion of it, maybe with a short quote from it. If people want to read the whole review, they can just use the reference. 
So I suggest it should start out as something like "Dig Out Your Soul has generally received a very positive reception from critics and fans alike (which it has). It has been praised for this, that n' the other (maybe a common positive view that critics seem to share)..." Then give some brief summaries of positive reviews from certain critics, with short quotes from reviews included. (Eg. The Guardian gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, labelling it as [quote]). Then move on to talk about the not-so positive reviews, such as Rolling Stone, and give a few main points on why some critics have not received it as well, again with quotes from reviews.
Then talk about commercial reception. Not too much to mention here, just how many copies it has sold as of a certain date and it's chart positions. 
Agree/Disagree? --Ike1000 (talk) 12:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I totally agree. Alan McGee's praising the album could be cut down if not removed although. It definitely needs some serious trimming. Darwin's Bulldog (talk) 20:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reception section 

message: I think the '(sic)' should be removed from the Concept and Sound section. Surely '(sic)' should be used to correct a quote from somebody who has made a mistake. Liam is using slang. It's different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.161.51.137 (talk) 12:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I'd like someone to provide me with the link of a reliable website in which I could get the right lyrics of Oasis' songs. There're a lot of pages with their lyrics, but many of them contain mistakes, so I'd prefer an official website or something like that.
