New page

This is a VERY confusing category title - how am I supposed to tell the difference between this and [[:Category:Zappa Per Album|Zappa Per Album]]? If anything, I would say it should be entitled "Official Releases" or something like that...

-To be honest, the [[:Category:Zappa Per Album|Zappa Per Album]] section has become obsolete; this "one size fits all" category has been split-up in multiple categories; since I had an education, I didn"t remove the tags, yet ... ;-) If you feel like it, you can rename the "albums" tag to "official releases" (although I would suggest "regular albums", since a compilation can also be an "official release"...) - [[User:emdebe]]

 By the way: how many "opinions" did you await before changing the "Main Page"?
-I DID NOT remove anything, I just added a few things. And I think the additions add value. You can still go to your favorite [[:Category:Zappa Per Album|Zappa Per Album]] category and get an overview of ALL albums. Or you can pass via the [[:Category:Discography|Discography]] to get a more detailed overview... There's something here for everyone... ;-)

When I have some time, I plan to redo the Main Page with a layout that presents all categories in an easy to find, structural way. From then, having to go to the Special:Categories page will no longer be necessary, I would think. In light of that, '''I wonder if it's worth the trouble of going in and changing the categorization of hundreds of Album pages from 'Zappa Per Album' to 'Albums'...'''''

		+
		+	What makes sense to one of us doesn't allways make sense to someone else, I can understand that. My point was: "what's in a name?". What's an "album"? And isn't a "compilation" also an "album"? What's an "official release"? All albums are "official releases", except the ones that are not... ;-) I mean... what are we discussing here? Did ''I'' invent the English language?
		+
		+	If we had taken some time ''upfront'' to discuss possible "issues" with whatever, we wouldn't have had these "arguments" (it's the same old story: http://www.killuglyradio.com/discuss/index.php?board=11;action=display;threadid=587)...
		+
		+	I'm trying to accomplish something here. And every once in a while I need to try a new road to get where I want to go. I didn't offend anybody. I didn't hurt anybody. So what?
