Track listing templates

Hello. I've just noticed that you've changed a couple track list templates to numerical lists on Avicii's song articles recently. As I said in my edit summary on "Broken Arrows", MOS:ALBUM doesn't say we should change track listings into numbered lists (simple or not)—it only says if a track listing is complex that it can be formatted into a template. So it's only saying you can do it this one way if there's a lot of detail there. I've noted to several other editors that the ALBUM guideline wasn't changed after the track listing template was made, so at the time it was written, numerical lists were the only way to format track listings, so that's why it (still) says they "should generally be formatted as a numerical list". As you know, some users on this site directly oppose the use of track list templates and revert any conversion of a track list to a template, so I think where a template was first used (as on "Broken Arrows"), that should be retained. I didn't manually revert your edit to "Waiting for Love" as I note those were numerical lists when they were first added. Ss112 04:55, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for the comment- I stand by my edits that they shouldn't be used where the situation isn't complex. Its OTT.

Die with a Smile edit

How exactly did you decide that it was okay to revert an edit from 15 days ago on the Die with a Smile page and mess up with all the new edits the page got since then, including new chart peaks and certifications? You look pretty inconsiderate for someone who's been editing music articles for over 15 years. Be more careful. Debyf (talk) 21:27, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Debyf mind your language - pay attention to assume good faith, irrespective of how long we've been editing for everyone at every level can make mistakes. It doesn't mean you can be rude. Yes I was lazy/clumsy to revert your edits to an earlier version, but the intent was good, i.e. to remove your edits with break with convention across other music articles.

-Sorry, but the way you edit is unacceptable.
-# Removing comments on [[talk page]]s is [[vandalism]]! I you don't like it ignore it, but DO NOT remove edits!
-# Once again: There are guidelines on Wikipedia to create a uniform appearance for all articles - and ''[[Human (Brandy album)|Human]]'' really should be an example! I like the look of the templates but they do '''NOT''' fit the guidelines!
-Please, accept his! - [[User:Noboyo|Noboyo]]
-#first of all... i didnt remove comments from the talk page. atleast not deliberately altho i did add a reply.
-#secondly guidelines are exactly what they say... they are GUIDES!!! to writing a good article not NECESSARILY the exact way of doing it. There is nothing wrong with the table format. I've monitored your handling of the Brandy page for the last month or so and you have been consistantly heavy handed.
-#you have undone changes by numerous wiki editors. the article does not belong to you, wikipedia is for the public to use and therefore i should be able to make edits like anyone else. if wiki has a problem with the table format for tracklistings then it would not allow them at all. many albums have them, you have even agreed that you like the template. what's the problem then?
-#you just dont want to accept the edit because it wasnt done by you, you cant accept that another user had a good idea for an article.
-====2nd post====
-::1. If you did not deliberately edit it's okay, but it actually looked like as you did just remove my comment.
-::2. [[WP:Albums]] says "you should feel free to personalize an article as you see fit, though '''others may change it to fit our standards'''." A template for the track listings is '''no standard on Wikipedia'''. This has been discussed before on the WP:Albums [[talk page]] ... Once again: I want this article to be an example! But even if I like the look of templates (I actually created tracklisting templates too in my earlier days on here), I do accept the fact, that it's not the standard requested on here.
-::3. I accept any good idea as long as it matches the guidelines of quality (!) and has a reliable source. I'm aware that I do not own this article. That would be laughable.
