Shirley Bassey discography

OK, since I don't know you, this is hardly a personal issue. It is about making the article in question as good as it can be. Listing B-sides confuses the issue into what we're reading. The section lists her singles - a single is released under it's A-side title (as an album is released under an umbrella title). Unless you are going to list every song to convey an album, then the same should be true for singles. Let's look at it this way, what is a single? It's (usually) a two-sided record with one song on each side. The A-side is the one that counts (ie - the song that's played on the radio, the one that's promoted, the one that everyone knows etc), the B-side is added on just to make up space and in many cases is considered a "throwaway", insignificant track. These should not be listed with equal importance to a A-side as you have done. There are few examples of B-sides being listed (The Beatles being one - but that is a special case as almost all of their B-sides have articles of their own and are considered worthy of mention). Let's look however at some other notable artists: ABBA discography, Madonna singles discography, Michael Jackson singles discography, The Rolling Stones discography - no, they don't list B-sides. Some others however will list B-sides in a separate boxed-off section (such as here) for songs that do not appear on albums (or previously released A-sides), that, I would be fine with, listing the appropriate single that it appeared on, but it's not what GA-listed articles are made of.

I won't revert your edit as of now, but consider one more point - what is a single's article listed as? Burn My Candle (At Both Ends) - or A: Burn My Candle (At Both Ends), B: Stormy Weather? Your edits make each equally look important.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 01:16, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Here we go again

Please note that removing tags from a page once placed cannot be removed until the issue is addressed or fixed. Please also do not confuse my considering an article to be in poor shape with personal comment. As I see it, the article is badly formatted, unencyclopedic and poorly written. Thank you for your time.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 01:03, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Exactly what I mean "Here we go again" (no need for this) I am only trying to understand your comments, the article was written in November and I agree it needs improving. My understanding is that you should firstly try to improve or help with advice BEFORE placing a TAG? Please correct me if I am wrong. I am open to any help or advice PLEASE do that any time you can. Thank you for your response 09:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Johnny Mathis-Wonderful Wonderful (UK).jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Johnny Mathis-Wonderful Wonderful (UK).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

As per usual is someone who has no idea of what a discography is removing articles. Fine I have given up on WIKIPEDIA as a source and no longer will take part in edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.57.199.234 (talk) 12:02, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Makes me a little nostalgic as I remember the good old days when we were building the Shirley Bassey Discography, really learning from scratch how to do it. I too have pretty much given up on Wikipedia, though more recently. Take care, Dutchdean--Nyctc7 (talk) 18:58, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
