Talk:Time Out of Mind (Bob Dylan album)

message: I always thought the title came from Warren Zevon's song "Accidentally Like a Martyr". Isn't Dylan a big fan of Zevon? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mcmillancaleb (talk • contribs) 21:45, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title? 

message: I've found a few different albums by the name of Time Out of Mind on allmusic.com.  The phrase is common enough to have the title listed with (Dylan album) appended.
The second issue is Wikipedia is an encyclopedia people go to look for information.  I understand the naming convention for albums per Wikipedia policy.  However, shouldn't you go by what the album is actually entitled, and not enforce some artificial policy by Wikipedia about some absurd notions of "prepositions" and other parts of speech?  
The album title is not Time out of Mind.  All professional reviews, all promotional material from Columbia Records, and Bob Dylan's website has the album title as Time Out of Mind.  Given that fact, and since the goal of Wikipedia is to be a reliable encyclopedia, shouldn't the naming convention be revised accordingly?  After all, it's not Wikipedia who determines the album name, it's the artist and the record company.  They're pretty clear cut on what the real name is, despite Wikipedia's naming convention!  --berenlazarus
:We should not disambiguate when not needed per WP:ALBUM#Naming, so until those other albums with this title are actually added to Wikipedia, this article should not be disambiguated as "(Dylan album)", and when they are it should be "(Bob Dylan album)". As for the capitalization, the guideline is to normalize capitalization, just like how we normalize for example trampin' to Trampin'. We don't normalize the spelling of titles, just their capitalization. If someone enters the title with the alternate capitalization, a redirect should take them to the article they were looking for. Feel free to argue that those conventions should be changed, preferably at WT:NC and WT:ALBUM respectively. In the mean time we should follow our conventions, so I'm moving the article back. --PEJL 12:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Time out of Mind just looks wrong to me. "Out" is surely an important word in the title? --kingboyk 17:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it looks wrong to me to, but noone has questioned the claim (above) that "out" is a preposition in this case. --PEJL 17:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Title again

message: Where in that world does that interesting extended quotation about "Mississippi" in The Outtakes section come from?

thread_title: Citation

message: The info box says the album was recorded in January and February of 1997. Can somebody provide a source that says there were sessions in February?--Dawson1066 12:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Recording

message: Time O'ut of Mind.' Or is it Time Out Of Mind? But the "O" in Out is definitely capitalised. Sort it out!! Adufig2000 (talk) 18:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello there Sayantan m - here are some thoughts on the article, as requested.
*Lead:
:*I would beef up the three paragraphs; maybe add some chart or sales info.
:*I don't think a link is needed to comeback. A short wikipedia article exists if you must link.
:*I went ahead and changed this: Despite being generally complimentary to Lanois, especially his work on the 1989 album Oh Mercy, Dylan has voiced dissatisfaction with the sound on Time Out of Mind. --> Although Dylan has spoken positively of Lanois' production style (especially for his 1989 album Oh Mercy), he expressed dissatisfaction with the sound of Time Out of Mind. Dylan has self-produced his subsequent albums. It tightens the sentence and flows better.
*Background and writing
:*Try to combine the choppy paragraphs and standalone sentences into two or three paragraphs.
*Recording sessions
:*Again, try combining smaller paragraphs into larger ones.
:*Add more sources. The only source for paragraph 2, for example, is for the quote.
::*Looking at the aforementioned quote, it is sourced to a forum, where the user who posted it "can't remember where [he] got it from". This is a bad source, and should be removed.
:*The blockquote from the end of the section ("Those records...") is a little long. Consider shortening it by a few sentences. I would also cite the physical Guitar World article (no url required) and not a website with a copy of it.
*The songs
:*I think the song summaries require fleshing out to justify individual paragraphs. If this isn't possible, I would combine them into paragraphs discussing themes, lyrics, musical styles, etc.
*Outtakes
:*Does it say anywhere in the sources that "Mississippi" was the first song not to make it onto the album, and "Dreamin' of You" second?
:*Remove the bold from the song names
*Reception
:*Fill "Commercial reception" out with some chart information and sales numbers.
*General comments
:*I don't think the photos are really required. The first one, for example, shows Dylan performing "Cold Irons Bound" in Masked and Anonymous. There is no mention of this performance in the main text, so the photo has very little relevance. There should be as little fair use material in an article as possible; only what is very essential (such as the album cover) should be used. 
::*The other photo isn't very useful either, I hate to say. It doesn't show the famous "Soy Bomb" incident, just Dylan's face. There might be something of a case for including a photo of Dylan and "Soy Bomb", as this would illustrate the neighboring section.
:*The sound samples are O.K. - four is a little much (three would be better), and it would be good to add more info to the captions.
:*I notice that online copies and reprints of newspaper and print articles are often cited throughout the article - as some of the websites that reprint these often do not ask for permission, it would be wise simply to cite the physical articles themselves, as I mentioned in the "Recording sessions" section.
:*Overall, very good job. I can see all the work you've put into it, and I wish you luck at GAC and maybe even FAC later on down the road. Don't forget to file a peer review at WP:PR; these can be very helpful. - I.M.S. (talk) 19:36, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Isn't it excessive to put four song samples in the same article. At most, in one article, I have seen two to three, and never consolidated (yes, I know there are exceptions). They were spread throughout the article, instead of grouped all together under one section. And all of them had detailed descriptions explaining why they should be included in the first place. I say, can "Make You Feel My Love", maybe "Cold Irons Bound" as well, and spread the others around the article, with good descriptions underneath. BootleggerWill (talk) 02:27, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
