Talk:Fear of a Black Planet

message: I have something on my mind that the track "Burn Hollywood Burn" was prohibited during the 1st Iraq War. Does anybody know if there's anything true in that story? Thanks!
Is it Hank or Keith Shocklee who has the majority of the songwriting credits? It's pretty confusing... And does Rodgers - credited for "Leave This Off Your Fu*kin Charts" - refer to Norman Rogers? Richaod 02:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Say what..? Duran Duran had heaps of hits anywhere else but in America and are pretty much mainstream. Why are they described as "alternative"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince In Milan (talk • contribs) 02:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I took out the hatnote about "Fear of a Blank Planet" on the theory that confusing this album with a more obscure one is rather unlikely, and that the main effect of the hatnote is to promote the other album (the article about the other album is also written in a somewhat promotional style).  This was reverted -- I'm open to other opinions about whether the hatnote is justified or not, but in any case I certainly don't see it as "clearly appropriate" per the reversion's edit summary.  I do think that the hatnote from the other article pointing back at this one is fine, because of the higher likelihood of confusion in the opposite direction.  66.127.55.46 (talk) 23:11, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, what do you mean by "promotional style"? I wrote this article, revamping it from inferior class/quality, and it passed GAN smoothly. Second of all, it seems appropriate if the only different in the title is a subtle, one-letter different. Not practical? Per WP:Hatnote, it's appropriate for two articles with similar titles.

replies: text: This present article is very good and I'm thankful for your work on it.  The article with IMHO promotional style is Fear of a Blank Planet, the target of the hatnote, whose very title was designed as another band's attempt to cash in on the fame of Fear of a Black Planet.  That's why I removed the hatnote, because I don't see confusion as likely, so the main effect of the hatnote is to promote the other article (and therefore the other album) to people who otherwise weren't looking for it.  However, I'll defer to your judgment.  66.127.55.46 (talk) 05:08, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
