Talk:Songs

Some conventions

Just to clarify some of the conventions I have been following here:

1. I avoid using curly quotes (“ ” and ‘ ’) and curly apostrophes (’) in favor of the straight versions (" and '). (This is a site-wide convention, actually. Curly punctuation is only used as necessary to match the titles of external sources, like articles, YouTube videos, etc.)
2. I only include the name of the original artist after a song title [e.g., "(Adele song)"] if there are multiple songs under the same title listed at Wikipedia (or should be). Such disambiguators are only used in link targets [e.g., "All of Me (John Legend song)"] if Angelina has actually sung multiple different songs with the same title.
3. Other disambiguators used by Wikipedia in their article titles [e.g., "(song)"] are given in <!-- HTML comments -->, to potentially aid in the creation of articles for those songs (since such articles always link to the relevant Wikipedia artices).

Regarding

1. Ok, I'll try to follow that.

I was wondering if there is a threshold of what you want to include here? I added the Modern Talking stuff as it seemed to be in the same category as what you added before that. But then there is stuff like the latest two additions on the "H S" channel, were she is mostly singing along, her voice is hardly discernable (she might just be lip-syncing), and it's really short. I don't cover those in my playlists so far.

Historically, I have included some things where she is seen singing but not heard (for example, "There Was a Princess Long Ago" and "Hurra for deg"). However, if it is apparent that she is only mouthing the words, then I wouldn't include it (and that includes her "traditional-style" TikToks, where the lip-syncing is the whole point of the video). Of course, it's gonna be a judgment call sometimes. (BTW, sorry I haven't been checking for questions like this more often. I'll try to address the questions you've already asked elsewhere sometime "soon".) - dcljr (talk) 06:49, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
