Aerosmith infobox

edit

Since this is turning into an edit war, I'll cut this off and open discussion. A recent edit says, "If it's a major single, it gets an infobox," but this isn't always the case. A lot of it also has to do both with aesthetics and how encyclopaedic it is. An infobox, after all, is a tool meant to aid the reader and present information in a different format. While Aerosmith's version did achieve minor success, this infobox is really not aiding in much, and furthermore it is simply causing unnecessary page stretching for little purpose. If every major single got an infobox, as you say, certain pages would be horribly out of whack - consider cases like, for example, Everlasting Love or Unchained Melody or Eleanor Rigby, where multiple versions have been released as major singles. Would it really be practical to list every one? Should Louise Goffin also have an infobox on this page? I would love to reach some sort of consensus on this.

Popularity on TikTok

edit

Parts of this song were used to create a remix called "Oh No", commonly found on TikTok. Is this worth mentioning? Flossingjonah (talk) 03:45, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, this is already mentioned in the article in the Popular Culture section. Design (talk) 12:06, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Correct title?

edit

There are several US versions from Red Bird USA 1964 (all have the #RB 10-008), but only Monarch Pressing and "Styrene Shelley Pressing are called 'Remember (Walking in the Sand')'. All the others, incl. those outside the US, are called 'Remember (Walkin' in the Sand'), just like in this ad (and the Japanese single depicted on this page);

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Remember_%28Walking_in_the_Sand%29_-_Billboard_ad_1964.jpg, https://www.discogs.com/master/117660-The-Shangri-Las-Remember-Walkin-In-The-Sand

I bet "Walkin'..." is the original, hence that spelling in Canada, Sweden, Germany, Japan...

Anybody care to disagree?
