message: However obvious things may be, THIS HAS NOT been announced as a single. Livejournal posts and an article on Absolute Punk (with no source, by the way) does not count as "confirmation" that Mama is a single. Yeah, the rumors were true about Famous Last Words, but there were just as many rumors and so-called "confirmations" that Disenchanted was a single, and it was WRONG. No where has the band or Warner Bros USA (the Finnish WB does not count either folks, sorry!) said that Mama is the next single. Unless it comes from one of those two sources, it is NOT official.

replies: text: I think the most convincing information is that it's confirmed on the Billboard.com website as a part of the group's discography. The other references held the place for the time (and they'll still do for now) until a direct WEA source is able to be given. I'm confident based on Billboard stating that they're ready to start counting its success as a reliable source (in support of teh claims of the other sites). --lincalinca 02:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

text: That was claimed when it was purported that "Disenchanted" was to be a single, but all of the sites being references didn't actually state it was to be a single. Billboard only operates on information provided by manufacturers (i.e. labels and publishers) and merchants (and their proxies). What I'm getting at is that Billboard never said it was going to be a single: simply that somebody made a reference to the group's discography page on billboard and claimed that. There was never any info to state it was, but because nobody verified it, the falsehood was perpetuated. This, however, does indicate a release date, that there are to be three distinct releases (or one regular single, and two appendages, though the particulars aren't yet clear). To be clear, the group only announced two singles from this album: Famous Last Words and Black Parade; Teenagers and I Don't Love You were not announced by the band but were simply released and then put into circulation. --lincalinca 05:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi all, the release dates shown were in MySQL format for some reason (eg YYYY-MM-DD).  I have changed them to standard format and added the links to the correct articles for the dates. DoyleyTalk 07:47, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: These dates are the standard formatting and is encouraged when a specific date can be given, as mediawiki parses them and converts it according to the user's preferences. As such, I have reverted the use. See WP:DATE for more information. --lincalinca 08:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

text: It seems somebody put the dates in without wrapping it into a link like this: 2007-11-18 to yeild this: 2007-11-18. Plus, it's isodate formatting that's required, so it's CCYY-MM-DD, not MM-DD-CCYY or DD-MM-CCYY as some were using. Have a look now. --lincalinca 21:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  MySQL Dates 

message: This hasn't been announced by the band as a single, and if it was a single, I'm sure it'd be in the audio player on their website, like all the previous singles are.
Don't forget, Teenagers was put on the audio player about a month before it was released, so was Famous Last Words. (Xx-sleepy-star-xx 16:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Because this is a later release, it's lower profile, so it doesn't garner as much support by the band as the earlier singles. And, apparently they're postponing its release now due to Bob's medical issues (that's hearsay, so it's not backed up by reliable sources at the moment, being why I haven't noted it on the page). --lincalinca 12:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: It's supposed to be today, yet I can't seem to find it anywhere. It would be nice to put a link to the first place that showed it, or at least the official site.72.12.72.89 12:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone here has said the a 11-16-07 release of mama was confirmed by billboard, which lists it as the 12th.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.219.251.22 (talk) 00:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Thanks for removing the lyrics 

message: There was a sentence that referenced billboard as saying that it may come out December 12. Nowhere on that site does it say that. I removed it. Andrew V. 18:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release Date 

message: It is now confirmed that the whole single thing was in fact a rumor, now let's delete this page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.219.189.17 (talk) 01:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

text: The article says the date is a rumor, not the single. Zazaban (talk) 07:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: On the contrary the page has been formated in to that of a standard song, not a single, and as it has received notable airplay as of November 2007 in the United Kingdom and has been so widely speculated (even by the BBC, Absolute Punk, NME) and there has been mention of the bands desire to release a further single and a video for the song, the article does meet Wikipedia:Notability (music), so unless it is merged with The Black Parade which does not seem necessary, the article can be left.

thread_title:  Delete this page please 

message: This date needs a valid source pronto. There are plenty of warnings about putting false/rumoured dates in this article, so just don't do it. Deleting this until evidence of its validity arises. Softwing (talk) 09:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
