Category talk:Songs with music by Harry Ruby

message: Cecilia written by Dave Dyer is listed in Harry Ruby (listed in songs written by Harry Ruby) is in error. He did not write this song with Dyer. In stead, as stated in the article, the Ruby that was originally listed as Herman Ruby wrote Cecilia with Dyer. Please remove the Ceilia song from Songs written by Harry Ruby.  
I tried to follow the link for Herman Ruby but the link failed. I am sure you have a page for Herman Ruby. But because the link failed, I thought there was no such person as Herman Ruby.
I was wrong.  Please back out my change of 'Herman Ruby' to 'Harry Ruby' in the "Celia" page, and fix the link to Herman Ruby for the song "Does your mother know you're out Cecilia" .

thread_title: Merger

message: I propose that Playground song be merged into Children's song. There is obviously a good deal of overlap, the playground-song article is poorly sourced and by comparison poorly written, and the "Children’s playground and street songs" section in this article could easily be expanded a bit to accommodate whatever is sourceable and appropriate. (It's also odd that neither article links in any obvious way to the other; perhaps we have a case of parallel article development by editors unaware of one another's actions.)

Category talk:Songs with music by Leroy Anderson

message: Most of the pieces by Leroy Anderson listed here are not songs at all, so this entire category is dubious - yet I don't know if I should just nuke it or not because I think that.  So I'll just leave this note for someone else to act on who knows better how to deal with this.
It reflects the deplorable trend for some people to refer to any musical composition, especially a popular one, as a "song"; but a song has singing and words, and a musical composition often has neither.
Some Leroy Anderson pieces may have been adapted as songs by others, adding a vocal part and words, so any piece which can be shown to have been adapted thus could be in this category; but it is incorrect to automatically put any orchestral piece by Anderson in this category.

replies: text: I don't disagree with you, a "music writer" writes music, whether there are lyrics/words/libretto added or not. What I wouldn't want to see is this small cat split into two because some are songs and some are not. Whether this means that the whole "Songs with music by" category should be renamed as "musical compositions by" (or similar) so that instrumental and song can sit happily side by side is another matter. I think the whole category tree needs looking at rather than a single composer. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:36, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

message: There's nothing cited in this article, except for a few random citations to claims about lyrics. The concept of "Christian child's prayer" itself is not cited, nor are any of the lists of songs cited. This is completely original research. Indeed, the very concept of "Christian child's prayer" seems to be original research. (That title, in fact, makes no sense as these are all songs—not prayers.) This article, if fully cited, would be better off being a list rather than text. And, frankly, I see no reason for including lyrics whatsoever. - Tim1965 (talk) 18:11, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd second this. This article is literally  a Christian songbook, with absolutely no details on when prayer for children developed especially and how it has changed over the years – something you'd think would be notable.

thread_title: merge with [[ignorance]]

message: The refrence to the oil companies and global warming is not an abuse of skepticism without citations. The reference to tobbaco companies is also without citations and really ought to have some. but the oil company reference is worse because the whole concept of global warming in the general sphere is relatively new, If notable people (meaning experts) have stated that there are abuses by skeptics in pay of the oil companies (which there no doubt are) then they should be referenced. The reference to the tobacco companies should have citations as well, but there is a whole body of evidence that is general knowledge that the Tobacco companies spent large sums of money to muddy the evidence of harm.
(how much harm tobacco does is debatable. But the companies involved clearly did try to make people believe, at least early on, that tobacco had no long term health effects) but there isn't a body of evidence on the oil companies that most people are aware of to justify in the same way the lack of citations on the subject. Without citations its just a spurious argument. ie: the oil companies produce fossil fuels that when burned create greenhouse gasses which create global warming, this is  true in the opinion of most scientists and by itself it could be left without references for a while (though that statement should ideally be referenced as well, as should all statements on WP, ideally). But the statement goes further than that, stating that there are people in pay of the oil companies who are abusing legitamate skepticism to further there agenda on whether or not greenhouse gasses cause global warming. Since this point has no references and isn't general knowledge it seems to be a NPOV issue rather than a weasel word issue, there are articles on wikipedia that discuss the issue and theory's, but this just isn't a clear cut case of an abuse of skepticism and is a poor example for this article (until it gets some citations whereas its a fine case, in theory, of an abuse of skepticism). But without citations or it being general knowledge its just a pet theory. Colin 8 21:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Clones (Ash song)

message: A look at UK Official Download Chart#History clearly denies such a claim. Before the start of that chart there were certainly internal trial runs to check systems and remedy any statistical or technical data collection problems. These test were within Millward Brown, the company that collects raw data for the Official Charts Company. List of number-one music downloads (UK) provides several references, the piece referenced as no. 2 "Download Top 20". Music Week (London: CMP) (26 June 2004) clearly marks the first week when these internal technical tests were first published, ie. went outside Millward Brown/OCC. That Top 20 appeared exclusively in the printed verson of UK record trade magazine Music Week; see reference 4: . 10 weeks later (1 Sep 2004) the UK Download Chart was officially launched, with other media (Radio 1, various websites) allowed to print it.
