Talk:2008 in music

message: There is absolutely no proof or reason to think Chinese Democracy is coming out this year.  Therefore I removed it.  Whoever put "The You Know What" for its title, it wasn't that funny. Blackzeppelin27 (talk) 20:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Chinese Democracy

message: there is no evidence in the reference to suggest the album will be released on august 11th.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JonathonDavisthe3rd (talk • contribs) 12:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: 4th slipknot studio album

message: There needs to be some kind of equilibrium reached with the albums that dont have names... Some are formatted Untitiled by Artist, some as Artists #th Studio Album by Artist, and all sorts of permutations with italics etc. Perhaps a particular title should be chosen and all future and current titles changed to adhere to it, just to maintain some constancy.

thread_title: Yet to be named albums

message: This article was nominated for deletion and was speedy kept under WP:SNOW. Thanks to the users who sourced the article. Capitalistroadster 03:11, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: AfD nomination

message: Guys, if you add an entry to a certain date in the tables, pretty please add "1" to the rowspan at the begining of that date!! Also, if you added an album to a table please in the description mention which album... Thanks! Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 13:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tables 

message: People, an album expected to be released is NOT an event, there's something called Albums To Be Released especially for... THE ALBUMS TO BE RELEASED!!!!! Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 05:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Who removed hot water music from this category? They are a band that reformed in 2008 + deserve recognition JonathonDavisthe3rd (talk) 20:48, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Bands reformed

message: What on Earth is this section?! it doesnt make any sense, no references and random numbers that anyone edits and no one can know whether they are true or just the fantasy of some dude... i'm gonna remove unless someone has another opinion... if you can prove those numbers and status undo it... but dont undo me if you cant provide some offical record of those stuff!!

thread_title:  Top 100 or whatever 

message: This section has become a battlefield. To make things clear: the last global weekly chart to be included in the UWC's top songs of 2007 calculation was the one dated "January 5, 2008" (posted on December 27, 2007). Therefor, the first chart to be included in 2008 summary is the January 12 one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meandmygang (talk • contribs) 15:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Top hits on record in the world 

message: it doesn't seem to be terribly consistent when it comes to the ordering. after month and day, is it alphabetically by artist name or by album name? once i think i understand which one it is, i find enough examples to prove myself wrong... Fezmar9 (talk) 23:15, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confused 

message: It says on the article that My Chemical Romance is making an album TBA 2008. But source is a Blog Post that says My Chemical Romance is taking a break from recording. Plus it's from September 2007.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.62.34.236 (talk) 18:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  My Chemical Romance album 

message: "The year 2008 in music is half full of events, albums released by major artists and bands, and hit singles."
This is such a bland and meaningless statement as to be bettered by omission. I would submit we are better off NOT having any sort of introduction until 2009 starts since it's hard to identify trends until AFTER you've seen them over the course of a year. Simply putting something at the top to fill space weakens the article IMO. Comments? GBrady (talk) 21:42, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Wasn't the UWC recently deemed an unreliable source, as far as WP's standards are concenred? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 23:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If it has been, I can't find anything on Wikipedia that says so. I edited the reference (bringing it up to full citation standards) and nothing happened. Usually, if a site has been officially banned a bot intervenes at this point and prevents the page being saved with the banned site's URL. Alchemagenta (talk) 12:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The United World Chart article was recently deleted at AfD with questions raised about its reliability/verifiability. I have noticed that several people have since been going round removing links and information sourced from the UWC from various articles. Just something to consider. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 17:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just read the AfD and whilst the arguments for deleting the UWC article seem sound, the secondary debate around it's relevance as an external source seem inconclusive. Perhaps the UWC sections in this article should be removed and replaced with a link in an 'External links' section. Alchemagenta (talk) 10:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Mudhoney's The Lucky Ones came out on May 20th.

thread_title:  The Vines and Mudhoney 

message: Should they be listed under bands reformed? because they never disbanded.. it was just a hiatus. Odysseus1138 (talk) 20:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: No Doubt

message: It seems odd to me that the events in the 'Events' section are written in the present tense. These are past events so, surely, they should be written in the past tense. I'm going to work my way through and correct this unless anyone wants to give a reason why not. Alchemagenta (talk) 13:37, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. You might find it useful to acquaint yourself with the guidelines to this talk page in the box at the top of it, particularly the links that lead to WP:CIVILITY and WP:GOODFAITH. Having done that, I'd then recommend reading the lengthy discussion on this page under the title [Article too long]. This should give you some background to the steps that have been taken in the transference of the 'Albums released' and 'Albums to be released' sections to the new article List of albums released in 2008. The history of when, who by and the reasons given for these changes can be found [here]. I suspect your request for these sections to be returned won't be supported for the reasons already discussed on this page. Alchemagenta (talk) 11:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

message: When this year ends I think we should add it to this years music all the other years have it so why should we not have it. The luigi kart assasions 4:04, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Being bold in 2009 

message: There is absolutely no prose, it is just massive, long trivia section. There can be no barometer for notability, how can you include some album release dates but not others? It's largely 2008 in American music and the page has so many citation needed tags it is rediculous. What is the page's purpose...? Kiac (talk) 04:23, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Would you like to place this same comment on Talk:2007 in music, Talk:2006 in music, Talk:2005 in music, Talk:2004 in music, … , Talk:1946 in music, etc., etc.? It would be perfectly apropos in every case—there are hundreds upon hundreds of these lists—trivia farms all.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 06:11, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, I know, I just happened to get fed up with it whilst here. They all need a serious revamp, which I believe was attempted for 2009 in music (is 1000 references some kind of record? lol), but they still have a serious direction problem, listing a bunch of 'notable' albums is no basis for an article. Deletion would probably be the easy way out though, I guess, a proper reconstruction might work. Kiac (talk) 06:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
