Talk:Word Up! (song)

message: This page ought to be moved to Word Up! (Melanie B).
There are other versions:
Word Up!
Word Up! (Korn)
:Word Up! is about the Cameo album. This article should be expanded to include the Cameo version of the song, and the Korn version should be merged here. Articles about songs should be about all versions of the song, other versions should not be given their own articles. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't Gun's 1994 cover of this song be mentioned more prominently here? The single was a top 10 hit in the UK and a big hit in many other countries, and their version is probably better known than any other version bar Cameo's original. 217.155.20.163 01:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

message: A lesser-known version of the song can be found on Rich Hopkins & Friends' LP "Los Monstros del Tucson Rock" (San Jacinto Records, 2004), with Greg the homeless guy on bass & vocals.

message: Actually, only the album is called "Word Up!" The song is just "Word Up", no exclamation point. Here's the single's label and here's the album's back cover. Accordingly, I am editing and moving this.—Chowbok ☠ 20:48, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: the edit is incorrect: the single is calles "word up!" with an exclamation mark, see front and rear cover of the single. you have conveniently taken a dutch pressing and the back insert of the album cd release, while ignoring the original release.

replies: text: It's the label that determines the song title, not the sleeve. I didn't realize the image was of the Dutch label (and was the "conveniently" really necessary? Way to AGF), but here's the American: .—Chowbok ☠ 01:38, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Since the images, :File:GunWordUp.jpg, :File:Wordupcover.jpg, and :File:Word_Up!.jpg have been removed by one editor citing WP:NFCC and reverted by three other editors also citing WP:NFCC, I am starting a discussion here so that the images is not deleted simply for being orphaned.
The single covers for the Gun, Melanie B and Korn cover versions pass the points of WP:NFCC. WP:NFCC#3 is met because the single covers is used for identification its respective versions and Cameo single cover cannot convey equivalent significant information and/or identification of the cover versions.  WP:NFCC#8 is met because the single covers are used for identification and the images increas readers' understanding and not having them would be detrimental to the understanding of the cover versions.  The single covers passes the first example of acceptable use of fair images at WP:NFCI: "Cover art: Cover art from various items, for visual identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary)."
The current consensus for single covers in section infoboxes to represent notable cover versions are that they pass WP:NFCC and WP:NFCI. Since WP:SONGCOVER says notable cover versions should be covered in the article about the song and not have its own article, but if they had their own articles, the images would be acceptable there, so they are acceptable in the sections of the song article. The single covers are not alternate covers for Cameo cover, it is the primary cover for the cover versions and should be treated as such. If it is felt that the images should still be removed than the images should be taken to Wikipedia:Files for deletion instead of simply removed from the article.

message: I don't know if it would be a good idea, but I thought about moving the section of the Little Mix version into a new article. I don't know how it would be named maybe just "Word Up! (Little Mix song)" but since it's not their song I'm not sure about it. I have moved the section to my sandbox to preview it and it looks pretty good. Here is the preview.

message: As pointed out, both songs have the beginning notes from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in their opening, but that's not all. Many phrases from the rhythm of Single Life can be found in Word Up. Basically the latter can be considered a remix of the first. 78.96.82.137 (talk) 19:24, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Word Up! (song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "GER":
From Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (Korn album): Peak chart positions for Korn in Germany:

From Follow the Leader (Korn album): Peak chart positions for Korn in Germany:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:12, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: It's not a hack, it's simply because the way Offizielle Deutsche Charts has reconfigured its website, a songid parameter is now necessary, and this is what the template can't locate and says is missing.
