SEMI-RETIRED

I will still be watching over some articles and occasionally revert vandalism/unconstructive edits but have limited capacity to actively expand/contribute to Wikipedia

Congratulations, Ippantekina! The article you nominated, Wildest Dreams (Taylor Swift song), has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.
This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) via FACBot (talk) 12:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You Belong with Me

Hi Ippantekina, in this edit (diff), I took the liberty of correcting a poorly elided quotation; the source doesn't say what the article said. I haven't checked many other reviews so it may be worthwhile checking each source matches what's in the article; FA reviewers should check these as well. Also here (diff), I boldly retitled the section "Other usage" to "Covers and parodies", which more accurately reflects the section's contents. I think maybe you could restructure the section "Critical reception", and make "Accolades and retrospective reviews" subordinate to it because these are part of the song's critical reception; and maybe separate retrospective reviews and awards. Anyway, I'm done here; good luck with your planned FA nom. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 02:53, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your comment about the essay. I couldn't agree more, and couldn't believe what I was reading when all the stuff about needing to move it etc. kicked off from what I'd taken as a straightforward question about style. Musiconeologist (talk) 17:08, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ippantekina. Take a look for which one you prefer at the "Release history" table: "Distributor", "Licensee", "Marketer" or "Promoter". 183.171.120.91 (talk) 10:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stylisation at TTPD article

MOS:MUSICCAPS specifically says The first letter in the first and last words in English-language titles of works and releases is capitalized. The first letter in the other words should also be capitalized, except in words that are short coordinating conjunctions, prepositions, and articles ("short" meaning those with fewer than five letters), as well as the word to in infinitives (although if the artist has chosen to capitalize short conjunctions, prepositions, etc. then the article title may follow the artist's choice). For more details (including subtitles, hyphenation, incipits, etc.) see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles § Capital letters. Exceptions are not made to mimic logo/cover stylization, even if such mimicry is common in the music press.

The inclusion of notes "Loml, "Imgonnagetyouback" and "thanK you aIMee" are a direct violation of "exceptions are not made to mimic logo/cover stylization, even if such mimicry is common in the music press." I thought this was really obvious and easy to understand therefore your revert with the comment "This does not violate MUSICCAPS and you're the one that's going against the status quo, so you should be initiating the discussion" makes no sense. There is no status quo, the guidelines are clear, no biZarRe capiTAlIsAtiOns. You needed to provide a compelling reason to revert something supported by guidelines. I'm not a 'Swiftie' by any means but I've been editing an extremely long time and I'm trying to maintain encyclopedic and consistent standards. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 12:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

@Lil-unique1: The stylysations you mentioned are "not made to mimic logo/cover stylization". They are literally stylised so in the track list (you can visit Spotify), hence: "although if the artist has chosen to capitalize short conjunctions, prepositions, etc. then the article title may follow the artist's choice. I'm not sure if you understand this? Ippantekina (talk) 12:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Its not a case of capitalising propositions or conjunctions though is it? Its camel case. The guidance even says The first letter in the first and last words in English-language titles of works and releases is capitalized.. Songs are bodies of work therefore should follow this guidance. WP:AGF would be helpful too - apologies if I didn't too. I hadn't considered that others might not have interpreted the guidance the way I have, since this is my experience across 15 years+ of editing on Wikipedia and 1000s of song articles. I suppose it could be argued for "thanK you aIMee" as i understand the capitalised letters mean something specific?

@Lil-unique1: Thank you for your understanding. I do concur that the way "Thank you Aimee" was weirdly capitalised was an intention of Swift (hence it generated quite a few articles about it! [1] [2]). Also for the two other tracks ("loml", "imgonnagetyouback"), I think it's fair to note that they are intentionally all lowercase in a track list of standard naming conventions. It might've stood for some intention of Swift which we might never get, but noting them as such in the "Notes" section does no harm imo. Ippantekina (talk) 13:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
