Talk:Randy Newman

message: Many younger readers may only be familiar with Randy Newman (or at least with his name) via his appearance on Family Guy. Worth mentioning?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.199.179.176 (talk) 20:30, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Randy recently released his second "Songbook" volume. I noticed on this page that it's categorized as a "Compilation" rather than an "Album", even though it's a new studio recording. Is this common in wikipedia? Other music sites, notably musicbrainz.org (see http://musicbrainz.org/artist/da7bb7d8-557d-4635-9ca1-e6e985525bd5), consider this kind of release an "album", as it is all new material (it's just the works themselves, i.e. the songs recorded on the album, that were previously available).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SheamusPatt (talk • contribs) 20:32, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The wording maybe common here on Wikipedia. So should we change it to "album" if necessary? Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:37, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Songbook - album or compilation? 

message: Input requested at Template talk:Randy Newman#Films scored. The question is, should all of the films he scored be listed in the navbox, or only the two that have album articles? Softlavender (talk) 10:46, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

message: If I am not mistaken, one of Family guy's earlier episodes featured Randy singing constantly with an annoying tonality. This was the episode where the world ended and the Griffin's set out to find the Twinkie factory. We should mention something about this.Ilikeguys21 (talk) 01:01, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

message: How tall is Mr. Newman?  That should be mentioned in the article.  Normally it wouldn't be a relevant fact for most singers or songwriters, but for obvious reasons, I think it is in this case.  Captain Quirk (talk) 08:22, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I've always regarded Randy Newman's Faust as a studio album - but it is altogether omitted from the discography section - I think that's a pity regarding such an eminent work. 
On the independent discography article it's listed under 'musical' - that's certainly correct, while at the same time it's still a studio album, isn't it? (it's not a live album or something like that)
...just found out that Randy Newman's Faust has it's own wikipedia article, where it says 
"Randy Newman's Faust first had a limited run at La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego in September 1995, which coincided with the release of a concept album version, featuring a different cast and arrangements than the stage version."
This confirms my point of view, so I'm going to edit it in.

message: I apologize for not doing coding right, however, here is the proof that Randy Newman is a Christian and writer. https://www.amazon.com/Randy-Newman/e/B001KI1W0S?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2&qid=1620838612&sr=1-2 (Also, good books, if you'd like to read them.) Please stop the person inventing his fictional religious beliefs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.178.112 (talk) 17:09, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: More than one wikipedian has reverted you, has disagreed with you. For my part, I'm fine that there's been an honest mistake: you believe Randy Newman should best be an article about a little-known Virginia Christian teacher; the rest of us believe that this pagespace should be about a New Orleans-born world famous songwriter who has won Oscars, Grammys, and Emmys. You could begin an article Randy Newman (teacher) but you'll need much better sourcing than you've presented here to support it. Until then, leave THIS page alone. You've gotten sufficient warning from multiple editors you are in the wrong. BusterD (talk) 16:43, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

text: I have enormous respect for someone who admits a mistake in discussion. Thank you. I'm not an expert, but generally speaking I avoid trying to fish out identities or intents. If you're determined not to edit here, why don't we find a different article to work on? There are 6,339,703 reasons to hang around and contribute. BusterD (talk) 13:43, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
