| − | Sound good to split as you propose, I guess the next step is to define the pages titles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Should this be:
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - Los Angeles)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - San Francisco)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1967 - Stockholm)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1967-1968 - New York)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1970 - Paris)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1980 - Munich)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1982-1983 - Los Angeles)]]
| |
| − | or
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966/03/10-11)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966/06/25)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1967/10/30)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1967/12-1968/02)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1970/12/15)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1980/07/03)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1982-83 UMRK Remix)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Knowing that we could temporarily use names such as:
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Unknown date 1)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Unknown date 2)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Might be hard sometimes to give a name to some tracks built from several tapes pieces including different studio recordings, overdubs and live solos, etc. But we have to find it out anyway...

| − | Awrighty, following our discussion on [[Talk:Trouble_Every_Day]], I decided to demonstrate you my thoughts on the whole several-versions-per-song issue in a more practical way. So I made updates to [[You Didn't Try To Call Me]], [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - Los Angeles)]] and [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - San Francisco)]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | A few notes on the first page, however: I agree with [[User:Emdebe|Emdebe]] that, for the "unsuspecting browser" a reference to the album is more important than where and when the song was recorded. I also thought that it is not strictly necessary to list all albums for each version on this page (especially since the albums are given on the respective pages for the versions). So, in order to keep the "disambiguation page" (IF that is what we want to call it) both concise and user-friendly, I'd prefer a system like
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Freak Out! Version)]]
| |
| − | recorded: Los Angeles, 1966
| |
| − | | |
| − | over
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - Los Angeles)]]
| |
| − | *Included on
| |
| − | **[[Freak Out!]]
| |
| − | **[[The ---- Of The Mothers]]
| |
| − | **[[The Worst Of The Mothers]]
| |
| − | **[[The Old Masters, Box I]]
| |
| − | **[[The MOFO Project/Object]]
| |
| − | **[[The MOFO Project/Object (Deluxe Edition)]]
| |
| − | ***Instrumental basic backing track included on:
| |
| − | ***[[The MOFO Project/Object]]
| |
| − | ***[[The MOFO Project/Object (Deluxe Edition)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Similarly, I don't think that [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1982-1983 - Los Angeles)]] deserves its own page. Instead it should be included to [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1967-1968 - New York)]], since it's still the same recording.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One may also argue if every bootleg version deserves its own page. In the case of [[You Didn't Try To Call Me]] I'd say yes because both [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1967 - Stockholm)]] and [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1970 - Paris)]] are quite different from the studio recordings. But we shouldn't generalise this for all songs. In [[Talk:Trouble_Every_Day|our previous discussion]], for example, I asked you about [[RDNZL]], since there are clearly more "recordings" of that song than there are actual "versions" of it. That's why I'm against giving "'''RDNZL (Piquantique Version)'''" a separate page, for example. Instead it should be included in "'''RDNZl (Lost Episodes Version)'''" since it shares all the formal characteristics of that version.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These are just my thoughts on the subject. I wanted to open to this discussion in the forum but I don't have an account and for some reason it says that registering is currently disabled. Anyway, once we've come to an agreement on this, I think it's absolutely crucial that we include our decisions to the wiki guidelines (just like models for the track and album pages since their structure still differ from article to article).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please let me know your thoughts on my five-and-a-half pence here, and the changes I made to [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - Los Angeles)]] and [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - San Francisco)]] (especially the way I linked back to this page here, and what I did to the "notes on this song" section).

| − | Hey, just thought of something! Just forget about my previously suggested system:
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Freak Out! Version)]]
| |
| − | recorded: Los Angeles, 1966
| |
| − | | |
| − | I realised that it's far more convenient to do it like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Freak Out! Version===
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - Los Angeles)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The reason for this is that when you have songs that are split up into several tracks some some albums, like:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Lumpy Gravy Version===
| |
| − | *[[King Kong (1967 - Hollywood)]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Uncle Meat Version===
| |
| − | *[[Prelude To King Kong]]
| |
| − | *[[King Kong Itself (As Played By The Mothers In A Studio)]]
| |
| − | *[[King Kong (It's Magnificence As Interpreted By Don DeWild)]]
| |
| − | *[[King Kong (As Motorhead Explains It)]]
| |
| − | *[[King Kong (The Gardner Varieties)]]
| |
| − | *[[King Kong (As Played By 3 Deranged Good Humor Trucks)]]
| |
| − | *[[King Kong (Live On A Flat Bed Diesel In The Middle Of A Race Track At A Miami Pop Festival)]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Chunga's Revenge Version===
| |
| − | *[[The Nancy & Mary Music]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 3===
| |
| − | *[[King Kong (1971+1988 - ???)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Or even:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Apostrophe (') Version===
| |
| − | *[[Don't Eat The Yellow Snow (1973 - ???)]]
| |
| − | *[[Nanook Rubs It (1973 - ???)]]
| |
| − | *[[St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast (1973 - ???)]]
| |
| − | *[[Father O'Blivion (1973 - ???)]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1===
| |
| − | *[[Don't Eat The Yellow Snow (1979 - ???)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can still implement them easily into this system.

| − | | |
| − | And another thought, this time about the question whether we should mark pages like this one as "disambiguation pages" or not. Arguments so far were that they sort of disambiguate between the different versions of the song, but don't really disambiguate between separate items (like, for example '''The Grand Wazoo (Album)''', '''The Grand Wazoo (Track)''', '''The Grand Wazoo (CC)'''). But what if we call them "indices" (e.g. [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Index)]]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think this would be a good naming convention. In the long run, it might become difficult to set up an index page (I'll just call them that from now on, for simplicity's sake) and just call it, for example, [[You Didn't Try To Call Me]]. I think there will be problems with tracks that share their name with an album (again, like '''The Grand Wazoo'''). It's always better to have a consistent naming convention than a patchy mess of different page names, depending on various external factors. So:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Index page: [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Index)]] (with a redirect page on [[You Didn't Try To Call Me]] where appropriate)<br>
| |
| − | Version 1: [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - Los Angeles)]]<br>
| |
| − | Version 2: [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - San Francisco)]]<br>
| |
| − | etc...<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | This system for all other songs? Yea or nay? It's AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION TIME!

| |
| − | | |
| − | *[[Don't Eat The Yellow Snow (1973 - Unknown Location)]] or maybe just [[Don't Eat The Yellow Snow (1973)]] would be simpler than [[Don't Eat The Yellow Snow (1973 - ???)]], I guess we should only complicate the title to avoid a possible ambiguity
| |
| − | *The Grand Wazoo album page would probably better be renamed [[The Grand Wazoo (The Album)]]
| |
| − | *It's just an example but wouldn't it be clearer to have:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | [[You Didn't Try To Call Me]] (disambiguation page)
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (The Song)]] (I finally think the word 'track' sounds disrespectful)

| |
| − | | |
| − | I agree with you there, Maroual, but since it said in the guidelines that in thoses cases where we have an album and a song of the same name, the album should go without addition in brackets, I felt I shouldn't argue with it. On the other hand, it WOULD be more formally correct to say "You Didn't Try To Call Me (Album)", yes. ;) If we have even more stuff of the same name, as with [[Them or Us]], for example, we'd need a disambiguation page anyway.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, don't be confused by the question marks, I only put them in because I didn't know where those versions were recorded and I was too lazy to look it up in the web (since I don't have access to my CDs here in England). They were actually intended to be placeholders. ;)

| |
| − | | |
| − | True. So let's proceed the way they do in the Wikipedia (see [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Deciding_to_disambiguate]]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then:
| |
| − | *[[The Grand Wazoo]] could keep its title as an album page (= the main expected use) but it'll have to mention in the first place "''For other uses, see [[The Grand Wazoo (disambiguation)]].''".
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me]] could remain a song/track page (still the main expected use) but it also has to mention "''For other uses, see [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (disambiguation)]].''".
| |

| − | ----
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think there is one fatal flaw in that system: if a) the pages distinguishing between albums and songs of the same name, and b) the pages distinguishing between different versions of the same song, are both called '''"xxx (disambiguation)"''', what are you going to do about the different versions of the song '''"The Grand Wazoo"'''?
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'd suggest a variation of your previously suggested model:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | [[You Didn't Try To Call Me]] (disambiguation page)
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Index)|You Didn't Try To Call Me (The Song)]] ''(links to '''You Didn't Try To Call Me (Index)''')
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (The Album)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (CC)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (The Single)]]
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (The Book)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Index)]]
| |
| − | ==''Album Name'' / ''Concert Date/Place'' Version==
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - Place A)]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==''Album Name'' / ''Concert Date/Place'' Version==
| |
| − | *[[You Didn't Try To Call Me (1966 - Place B)]]
| |
| − | '''(...)''' ''(I'd suggest only one link per "version" on the index page, and more exhaustive release info on the page for the version itself)
| |
| − | | |
| − | "The Grand Wazoo" would probably be a better example, but I think you all get the point. :)
| |
| − | | |
| − | And for everyone who's confused by now: the only difference between this model and the one I suggested before is the fact that now, album pages would have to be renamed to '''"xxx (The Album)"'''.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Oops, sorry. I almost agree:
| |
| − | | |
| − | (1) I finally didn't mean to rename the albums to "xxx (The Album)". In the most common use [[The Grand Wazoo]] is an album so the page with the same name should be the album page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (2) There was another difference implied in my previous post. IMO [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (Index)]] is never needed because [[You Didn't Try To Call Me (The Song)]] is sufficient to link to every version.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Usually, in the case there are two completely different songs (or even albums) sharing the same title, people will probably look for one and only one page (see [[Steal This Disc]], [[Mystery Disc]], ).
| |
| − | | |
| − | I don't mean it would be a perfect and systemic system, there should still be exceptions to it (the [[BTB]] series that have been named after bootlegs, the Au20 discs which have their own page, ...).

| − | I see where you're coming from, Propellerkuh, but I don't quite agree with you. This "one song - one page" system is basically what we have now. In this system we are running into trouble with songs like [[Why Don't You Like Me]]: Is it a version of [[Tell Me You Love Me]]? Is it a separate song? As I understood it, most people here are against linking every version of a song to one single page (not least because it's bad design to have something like [[Why Don't You Like Me|Tell Me You Love Me]]). But that would be ultimate consequence of your suggestion. We need to have something like an index (or "disambiguation page") for at least some of the songs, so we might as well create a coherent system for the whole wiki. (See also: [[Talk:Trouble_Every_Day]])
| |
| − | | |
| − | I also don't think that this would make the wiki more "bloated". On the contrary: it helps making the articles more clearly arranged, - the same articles that would be quite bloated if we pooled all the different lyrics.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I absolutely agree with you however, that not every single recording needs to have its own page. As I have stated before, if one recording follows the exact same formal structure as another recording, it should be treated as "another take of the same version". I think as a rule of thumb we could say: have as few different versions as possible, but as many as necessary.
