Talk:Everything Starts with an 'E'

Help

Is there a tool I can use to establish when a reference was added to an article?--Launchballer 22:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Sure: WP:Wikiblame (direct link to external tool). For a citation, you can copy the source's title appearing in the article. For example, for the first citation, you could place in the "search for" field Haysi Recollections. You could also search for the code you find in edit mode, such as title=Haysi Recollections| but then be sure to click the box for "Force searching for wikitext".

Everything Starts With An 'E' → ? – The indefinite article "an" should be lowercased per WP:NCAN. So should "with" per MOS:CT because it functions as a four-letter preposition, even when many (if not just official) sources uppercase "with". But I put a question mark "?", so you can freely vote either one or both words to be lowercased. I would prefer Everything Starts with an 'E', but I just want "an" lowercased.

• Support Everything Starts with an 'E' per MOS:CT. We have a house style documented in that guideline, and we should apply it. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:34, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
• Support Everything Starts with an 'E': This is the correct capitalization according to the Wikipedia style guide, and I think a style guide should be applied consistently. Darkday (talk) 11:23, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
• Support. The house style should be preferred. Exceptions should be allowed, if the house style is *never* used and something else is, or creates an odd problem, as sometimes happens. However, in this case, the Wikipedia preferred style is evident in the first reference: http://www.okayfuture.com/features/hip-house-playlist-25-classic-tunes.html --13:14, 19 September 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmokeyJoe (talk • contribs)

"despite being banned by the BBC ..."

The DYK hook to be displayed for this article on the main page is currently:

• ... that despite being banned by the BBC, E-Zee Possee and MC Kinky's "Everything Starts With An 'E'" was once played by Dave Pearce on his BBC Radio 2 show Dance Years?

That seems a highly dubious statement, to put it mildly. First, even if it had still been banned at the time Pearce played it (2013), this juxtaposition ("despite") would violate WP:SYNTH. But more importantly, the BBC Radio 1 ban cited to the documentary on YouTube dates to almost a quarter century earlier, and there is no reason to assume it remained in effect on Radio 2 in 2013.

A search of their website actually reveals that the BBC hosts a clip of the song itself today, and that it had been played at various other occcasions in recent years:

• Dave Pearce, BBC Radio 6, 21/03/2010
• "Dave Pearce Meets Boy George", BBC Radio 6, 16 Jul 2011
• Boy George, BBC Radio 6, 17 Jul 2011
• Dave Pearce, BBC Radio 2, 12/05/2012

For now, I have changed the sentence to "Despite the earlier ban, it has been featured on BBC stations at various times in 2010 and later."

I further adjusted the wording toward strict objectivity. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:10, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
