iTunes remix track list

Has anyone got a link to this? I thought it was available for purchase? —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 12:35, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/living-for-love-remixes/id964995588 - since February 9, 2015, it is available on iTunes. [1]

Sorry, I don't know the codes to insert my own IP into the corpus of the text. I really apologize for that.

Sorry, I need to add that the ep remixes is also available on the iTunes Store of my native country, Brazil: https://itunes.apple.com/br/album/living-for-love-remixes/id963757934 I think it is a worldwide release, if the editors have some time could check at some local iTunes Stores. Thank you for the inclusion of the reference I have brought. It is so wonderful for me to have the opportunity for helping as much as possible.

UK radio ban

Should the UK radio ban be added in the Commercial performance section? Seemed controversial hence asking. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 06:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Turns out it might be false. Daily Mail is really pathetic. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 06:26, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I think we need to mention this issue on the article since it received a lot of media coverage and response from her fellow musicians. For example, "Sorry" article also includes her U.S. radio boycott. Whether they really said "ban Madonna!" or not, BBC Radio 1 has been actually known for their ageism to several artists, including Robbie Williams. I don't see any problem as long as we stick with WP:NPOV and WP:V. Bluesatellite (talk) 11:49, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

So it should be in the UK chart performance part? —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 18:24, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Probably so Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

@SNUGGUMS: I added it, can you check it once that its neutral? —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 04:31, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 2 March 2015

Under Music video, Development, section 6.1, the paragraph credits design of the masks to a Riccardo Tisci. The masks were actually designed and created by Los Angeles Jewelry designer Marianna Harutunian. The horns were created by someone else. My wife works for Marianna Harutunian and I knew about the masks before the video was released, and before both the Grammy's and Brit's performances. Here is some evidence:

Marianna's Facebook page showing the finished products: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155232986170224&set=a.10152015444900224.898076.798860223&type=1&theater

Marianna's Instagram page showing a sneek peak of her working on a partially complete mask as early as 6 January 2015: https://instagram.com/p/xgDS9AFSOW/?modal=true

The masks for sale online at my wife's website: http://www.usfashionsource.com/#!product/prd1/3618274351/madonna-living-for-love-crystal-mask Cavemanzhi (talk) 18:19, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

 Not done Neither Facebook, nor Instagram nor a retail source link is acceptable. And the Tisci line is sourced to one reliable source. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 18:21, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Second Semi-protected edit request on 2 March 2015

I'm sorry if this reply is not written correctly as I am very new to this. I understand about the credibility issue with the provided links. That was a concern for me as well and unfortunately I have no other sources.

Can the credit to Tisci be removed at least? The Style.com article only says that he "approved of Madonna’s male Minotaurs and their crystallized masks," it doesn't say that he designed or made them, and the article then links to Tisci's Instagram account when he simply shared a picture of the masks but never claimed to have created them. Thank you for your time.

Cavemanzhi (talk) 20:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Done I couldn't find any other sources to support that statement either, so I've removed it. Also pinging IndianBio who added the sentence in case he has something to add. Stickee (talk) 23:44, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Stickee, I added the sentence but I made sure that it nowhere says that he created them, just that he approved them. Sorry for reverting your edit. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 05:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

No problem IndianBio, but there still seems to be an issue with the wording. There's a difference between "approving" something, and "approving of" something. The former implies that Tisci has an official capacity in which he can approve the masks, while the latter means he simply agrees with it. The latter appears to be correct per the sources: Tisci had no role whatsovever in the development or design or production, as the creator of the request pointed out. Stickee (talk) 05:42, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Just using a direct line from source would do no? —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 05:44, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Possibly. I've changed the sentence so that it no longer implies he designed the piece. How's that? Stickee (talk) 05:54, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

EDIT: 4 March 2015 Thank you IndianBio and Stickee for your help with this. Just one more thing; The author for this source was contacted and it now says "Riccardo Tisci approved of Madonna’s male Minotaurs and their crystallized masks by Marianna Harutunian..." Can we have the designer credited now, since the source has been updated? Thanks again guys. Cavemanzhi (talk) 21:31, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Done Stickee (talk) 00:10, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Sorry guys, one last thing; The sentence reads "Designer Riccardo Tisci approved of the use crystal masks and horns for Madonna's dancers as Minotaurs by Marianna Harutunian..."

She didn't design the horns, only the masks. The source corroborates this, since it only says the masks are by her. The horns were done by Cecilio Castrillo Martinez. I'm not sure if it's a good source, but here's his website: http://leatherdesigns.es/en/celebrities/leatherdesigns-pieces-for-madonnas-grammy-performance-2015.php?id=27 Cheers! Cavemanzhi (talk) 19:43, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

 Done Doesn't seem like a contentious point. Not sure if that source is quite good enough, but it's been rephrased to no longer imply that Marianna Harutunian created the horns. Grayfell (talk) 05:49, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Reception of the song.

The official charts had its viewers vote for their favourite (UK released) Madonna single of all time this week and "Living For Love" was voted in at number 8. I think this deserve a mention maybe at the end of its critical reception?

Removal of other template

For other uses, see Living for Love (disambiguation) is required even if the other topics are only mentioned rather than having standalone articles. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:47, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

There is no point in having a DAB when only one article contains the title "Living for Love". Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:49, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes there is, see WP:DISAMBIGUATION, we disambiguate by topic and content not title. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:53, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
