Talk:Freak Out!

Refs to FZ's first wife refer to Kay Sherman, as does FZ in TRFZB. So is Kaye Sherman a typo on FO cover or someone else entirely?

FO is full of typos, so... --Emdebe 08:57, 30 May 2005 (PDT)

Table based Versions section = cool!

I don't know who came up with the idea for a table-based "Versions" section (was it Maroual?) but it's looking very very cool. Kudos! If possible, we should do it like this on all album pages, no? - KillUglyRadio 01:25, 16 Aug 2005 (PDT)

Release dates, ways to cite sources and External Links

Emdebe recently underlined that we need to cite our sources. I guess this might be a good opportunity in order to gain more credit.

However I also have to underline that:

• I do not particularly trust the release dates and numbers published in the ZFT Official Discography. And I do not think we need to discuss on every page about how they sometimes change the release dates/release order. Should we use the first observed shipping date or the deadlines the ZFT use in their past and future roadmaps ? In the last version (see last .pdf available at zappa.com - The Official Frank Zappa Website), they simply removed London Symphony Orchestra Vol. I which was previously release #38 and then they shifted (sometimes worse) the following numbers until #48. Also they are they only people in the world to say that WOIIFTM was released in September 1968...
• We need to follow consistent format and style, this is what I attempted to do with Anchors in the Article page Notes section. Any comment is welcome ;-) For any reason it was not possible to apply the Wikipedia guidelines described in Wikipedia:Citing sources & Wikipedia:Footnotes
• I always prefer to redirect to the External Links page rather than directly pointing to the site URL. So we have only one place to update in the case of any Internet address change.

Release Notes/Page Layout

Surely what we have under Release Notes are Credits for the album. Why do we have (for example) photographer listed at the top of the page while the musicians are buried lower down the page?

Somebody started with this layout (Barry?). I'm not that happy with it either. I would like to see: Tracks / Players / Release Notes / Liner Notes / Background Information / Conceptual Continuity / Versions. --Emdebe 11:19, 15 Apr 2006 (PDT)

Mmmh. I guess the top of the page should focus on synthetic and visual information like the original cover picture, and why not a summary or the musical styles/genre. Emdebe, this new order proposal looks good.

Cover on the right?

Can we move the cover image to the right and have the text flow down the left like at wikipedia:Freak Out!?

Duncan 22:58, 15 Apr 2006 (PDT)

Fine with me. --Emdebe 02:17, 16 Apr 2006 (PDT)

Eh eh eh. I have to confess this is exactly what I have been trying to do since weeks... but I just don't know how to put the cover on the right BEFORE the TOC! If anybody knows how to do this please go on, you are welcome ;-) Maroual 13:42, 16 Apr 2006 (PDT)
