Chord sings on "The Most Wonderful Day of the Year"! ;D 75.68.52.240 (talk) 18:12, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

He is actually not credited with any vocals per allmusic. Yves (talk) 20:30, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah,, well he is per the freakin' CD booklet! (Plus, he deserves it! He's totally getting the Dijon treatment if you know what I mean!) 75.68.52.240 (talk) 12:35, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

If you have a copy of the CD booklet, you can add Chord to the performers using Template:Cite album-notes to reference the relevant information :) Frickative 12:55, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand. Can someone else do it? (And do I need a pic?) 75.68.52.240 (talk) 12:48, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

You don't need a pic, but it can only be filled out by someone who has a copy of the CD booklet. You just have to fill in the blanks, like so:

{{cite album-notes
| title       = Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album
| albumlink   = Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album
| artist      = [[Characters of Glee#Casting|''Glee'' Cast]]
| year        = 2010 
| notestitle  = None given.
| first       = None given.
| last        = None given.
| authorlink  = N/A.
| coauthors   = None.
| page        = 3
| format      = CD booklet
| publisher   = [[Columbia Records|Columbia]]
| publisherid = 88697 78567 2
}}

Let me know if you need any more help :) Frickative 13:33, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! 75.68.52.240 (talk) 17:14, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Publisherid refers to the catalog number, which should be written on the spine. If not, it should be in small font in the album booklet. It may contain letters and should be from eight to twelve characters. As for the page number, I would count the cover of the booklet as page one. Yves (talk) 17:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

There ya go! :D 75.68.52.240 (talk) 23:16, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Are there any other personnel on any other pages that aren't included on the page? Yves (talk) 22:11, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

) Probably, but I'm not gonna go looking now. Mabye later, though! ;D 75.68.52.240 (talk) 00:42, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

  • Comment: showing up as just over 3x expanded, but some of the earlier edits made in the last day or so removed a chunk of blacklisted stuff (that has been there ten years and so I assume was fine back then), I think I worked it out right with the bytes I noted. the chunky tables don't affect it - but happy to work on it more, send for a (quick?) GANR. I can also come up with more hooks (while I like alt0, it and alt6 may fall foul of PLOT, while someone could probably work out a punnier wording for alt7). aiming for a Christmas set if they're still needing one.

Overall: I looked at the edits made in the last few days, and considered that blacklisted material had to be removed. When I looked at the expansion of the prose (excluding the "Track listing", "Personnel", "Charts and certifications", and "Release history" sections) I see that the article was about 6588 characters before expansion, and 21827 afterwards, below the 5x expansion requirement on DYK. I think the community will need to decide if they want to WP:IAR so this hook can be promoted to the Christmas hook set, possibly by opening a discussion on WT:DYK. I am also happy to post the request on your behalf, explaining my rationale. This will all be moot if the article is promoted to GA.

In terms of hooks, I like ALT7 the best, but remove the word "actually". All the hooks are cited and can be used. Z1720 (talk) 03:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

@Z1720: Thanks :) I wrote down 6494 for the bytes pre-expansion, but that's still short. I'd presumably ask at DYK talk to see if someone would pick up doing a GA review, I don't think it would be reasonable to add any more to the article (without getting too detailed and too broad). I have removed "actually" from alt7 (personally, I am disappointed in that hook, because I still have yet to work out a hook-y way of noting that "Last Christmas" was last Christmas). Kingsif (talk) 06:47, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

@Z1720: Update, GA passed. Kingsif (talk) 16:38, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

W()()T W()()T! Expansion concern is no longer a problem. I have been trying to formulate a reword for ALT7 but haven't been able to come up with anything. Maybe a hook prepper will think of better wording. Z1720 (talk) 16:50, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
