Confirm

I need someone to confirm what I wrote! I'm not even sure what I wrote about :P — Preceding unsigned comment added by Splintax (talkcontribs) 12:22, April 21, 2005

Incorrect title

edit

This article previously incorrectly stated that this album was unofficially called Condition Critical after the release of the second (also) eponymous album, but this is incorrect. This is the title of a different later album. (from allmusic.com) Postglock 17:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Quiet Riot (1978 album)Quiet Riot (1977 album) – The album was released in 1977, according to Allmusic and Discogs. Pete Prown says 1977 and so does Martin Popoff, who specifies a date of March 2, 1977. The article was moved earlier without reason or discussion. It should be moved back.

He made a mistake in his book, ask the man yourself. He is aware of his mistake. This album was released in 1978, I have lived in Japan since 1971 and I was there when this album came out in real time. 1978, not 1977. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240D:1A:8AF:4D00:C4AD:9601:5C3A:436 (talk) 13:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Well, his book is wrong. I was alive and well, living in Japan since 1971 and this did not come out in 1977. It came out in March 1978 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240D:1A:8AF:4D00:D8AE:4E80:D7B9:ACAF (talk) 11:26, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. At the last move request I cited some sources saying 1977, namely AllMusic, Pete Prown's book, and especially Martin Popoff who specifies a date of March 2, 1977. These sources haven't disappeared in the meantime. Binksternet (talk) 23:49, 12 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
But this is not the only album that is commonly called Quiet Riot, so that title would be ambiguous WP:INCOMPLETEDAB. There has apparently been substantial confusion over the name of the other album, and this Japan-only release seems relatively obscure. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:21, 14 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per Dekimasu comments. The physical album is a reliable offline WP:ABOUTSELF source, AFAIK. Sony Music Japan also seems reliable, although not independent, and apparently per Lugnuts (Martin Strong's Great Rock Disco) those are not the only sources that say 1978. I don't think the band would release something in 1977 that says it is from 1978. The vice-versa case seems more plausible. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:25, 14 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Yes, the copyright year is not necessarily the release year. But nobody would declare a copyright year that is after the release year. And what the article title needs is the release year, not the copyright year. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:34, 16 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • In case it wasn't clear, I support the move on the merits; it just requires us to evaluate which sources are more reliable, and in this case, while they are not as easy to look at, the Japanese sources are more reliable about things that happened in Japan.
