message: "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing" is Charles Wesley's most-well-known hymn and the hymn most associated with the Methodist movement founded by John and Charles Wesley (so much so that it's always the first hymn in the Methodist hymnal).  Owing to its immense importance to Wesley and Methodism, I added it to the lede, where there already were several less-important hymns.  However, I was reverted.  I believe that O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing should be re-added to the lede, and, if necessary, one of his lesser-known/lesser-importance hymns, such as "Lo! He Comes With Clouds Descending" or "And Can It Be", be removed. pbp 23:32, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this seems to be largely based on opinion. I question that it is "the hymn most associated with the Methodist movement". (Contrary to your assertion, it is not the first hymn that appears in Singing the Faith nor Hymns and Psalms, both of which I possess copies of. Granted it may be first-listed in American hymnbooks, which I am not familiar with.) Honestly I was in two minds about reverting; I am particularly anxious to avert the trend of creeping expansion of lists based on editors' preferences, and in applying discretion, I didn't think that the hymn's article is of sufficient quality to be highlighted, in contrast to the other listed hymns' superior articles. However, since you feel so passionately - and I have no strong objection - I will reinsert the hymn in the lead (properly styled this time). --Hazhk (talk) 17:16, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
