Catalog numbers

Why are the catalog numbers listed in the Album infobox? On Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums it says nothing about listing these anywhere, let alone the infobox... I think it is unnecessary to list them in the article anyway. --Fritz S. 09:33, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

According to the WikiProject Albums page, under Details it says: "Try to fill in as many of the details as you can." and then refers to the label, stating it should have the earliest known release information available. As far as I know, the catalog numbers listed on the page represent the first issue of the album in its various forms and in various markets. Furthermore, just because it doesn't say anything about listing them, that doesn't mean it is strictly forbidden. PlasticBeat 16:04, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I didn't say it's forbidden, I just think it's unnecessary to list them in the infobox. And the part of the WikiProject Albums page you mentioned also says that only the label the album was orginally published on should be listed, with other labels and release dates listed in the article itself, not in the infobox. Also, I think "Try to fill in as many of the details as you can" refers to the categories of the infobox, and the release numbers hardly fit the category "Label". So if you think the release numbers must be listed in the article, the infobox still seems to be wrong place. --Fritz S. 16:23, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

The catalog numbers are part of the label, so they fit into that part of the infobox. PlasticBeat 16:35, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you really insist on having them there... Although I really don't understand why they should be included in the article anyway. They are not really of any interest, are they? --Fritz S. 16:41, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Fritz. At the WikiProject Albums page, it is clear that the infobox should only contain the details for the first release of the album, with any other details placed in the article body "The Released date should refer to the earliest known date. Similarly, Record label should refer to the label the album was originally released on. Where significantly different versions have been released (featuring alternate track listings) e.g. US vs UK, the later release date and/or record label should be mentioned in the article". While this doesn't explicitly rule out adding the catalog numbers to the infobox, I think it is debatable whether they are of any relevance to an encyclopædia. --Amigadave 20:52, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC)

I mentioned this discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums#Inculsion_of_catalog_numbers, as it might come up on other album pages, too, and there might be need for some general guidelines or something. Just wanted to let you know. --Fritz S. June 29, 2005 20:43 (UTC)

Good idea, thanks for the info.--Amigadave June 30, 2005 17:29 (UTC)

Two Versions?

Isn't there a few versions of the album which can contain the "19/2000" and "Clint Eastwood" remixs also with Left Hand Suzuki Method? Mine has all three and it is rated parental.

Also, I have heard two versions of "Latin Simone" - one with Damon Albarn singing in English, the other with Ibrahim Ferrer singing in Spanish. I don't know why these two versions are not separately labeled, nor on which releases they were available.

Yeah, there's a version of Latin Simone in English. It was released on "G-Sides". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noodle2D23 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Singles

Someone screwed up the singles order. It's supposed to be (first to last) Tomorrow Comes Today, Clint Eastwood, 19-2000, and then Rock the House.

yeah, tomorrow comes today ep, clint eastwood, 19-2000, rock the house, and then tomorrow comes today (single) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.165.19 (talk) 01:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Samples

Can we get citation for the sample use? Mostly because I'd love to know where the sample of Hall of the Mountain King is ;) --Wifidelity (talk) 01:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Day of the Dead sample and source?

This stuff is as far from controversial as possible, so this isn't high priority or anything. I don't have a copy of the DVD at hand to check, but I'm not sure that "Hello? Hello? Is anyone out there?" sample is from Romero's Day of the Dead. I could be wrong, but the song sample sounds more British, and I can't recall a Brit in the cast of Day of the Dead off the top of my head. rootology (T) 18:14, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I found the opening of the film, it's on YouTube. Its legit. :) rootology (T) 18:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Profanity censoring

Thought the way the profanities in this article were censored (@§§-crack etc.) was ridiculous, so I changed it. Articles about fuck and balls exist on wikipedia, so why not use it here, if the profanities are relevant to the article?

But it seems that the Cluebot edited it away, don't know how to bypass that darned bot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.180.104.102 (talk) 13:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
