Main Page appearance: Homework (Daft Punk album)

This is a note to let the main editors of Homework (Daft Punk album) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 27, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 27, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Homework is the debut studio album by French electronic music duo Daft Punk (Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo pictured in 2010), released in January 1997 on Virgin Records. Homework's success brought worldwide attention to French house music. According to The Village Voice, the album revived house music and departed from the Eurodance formula. The duo produced the tracks without plans to release an album. After working on projects that were intended to be separate singles over five months, they considered the material good enough for an album. Homework charted in 14 different countries, peaking at number 150 on the United States Billboard 200 and at number 8 on the UK Albums Chart. By February 2001, the album had sold more than two million copies worldwide and received several gold and platinum certifications. Overall Homework received positive critical response. The album features singles that had significant impact in the French house and global dance music scenes. These include the US Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play number-one singles "Da Funk" and "Around the World", the latter of which reached number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100. (Full article...)

Genres appearing on the Daft Punk album "Human After All"

Hello. As you know, I am the editor who has added the genres of noise rock and minimalism to the genres section of the article for Human After All. You sent me a message saying that what is changed in the genre section should reflect the prose. I am concerned and somewhat confused as to the reasons why my additions don't reflect the prose. As the prose states, the members of Daft Punk applied elements of minimalism and rock to their music and went on a noisier, more robotic route with the music on the album. Why did my edits(as well as the edits to the band's page) get reverted? --Dankyhashpants (talk) 01:19, 8 March 2014 (UTC)Dankyhashpants

it's me again.

I see that you deleted the description of the end of the song, including my elaboration on it. Why?

Hi! Would you care to review my FA nomination for the article Of Human Feelings? The article is about a jazz album by Ornette Coleman, and the criteria for FA articles is at WP:FACR. If not, feel free to ignore this message. Cheers! Dan56 (talk) 16:53, 7 July 2014 (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.

Category

Hi! Why do you think it doesn't fit in the category [1]? I think it fits. Look at any other article.

Like, for example, I've been reading articles on Elvis Presley's songs a lot recently, and it seemed to me that every song that he ever recorded was in his category. And it seems to me that it is also the case for every country singer. (I'm talking about country singers because they cover each other's songs a lot.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:34, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

A couple of quick examples: Category:Rise to Remain songs ("Enter Sandman" is there), "Beat It". --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:38, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, you make some good points. What's important here is where exactly the threshold is. Do we put in a category for a specific reason? Again, if we put it in simply because it's a cover, what's to stop anyone from putting in a category for any other person who made a notable cover version? jhsounds (talk) 23:03, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

My guess would be that if someone released a song as a single and the single is notable, then it's above the threshold. Album tracks etc. may count and may not. Especially if it's some song that everyone covers, like "Yesterday (Beatles song)" or "La Paloma" or "Autumn Leaves (1945 song)". (And even there there are some more or less random categories like that, look.)
And look at the article we are talking about. The "Cover versions" is full of some random performances, there are some album tracks too, but no one but Alisa Kozhikina released it as a single. (And it looks like there's no other cover but hers that is notable. By "notable" I mean that it could warrant its own standalone article if it wasn't a cover.)
(I would understand if it were one of the most covered songs in the history of mankind, but it really looks like there is only one person who has released a notable cover so far.)
Another random example: Category:Nancy Wilson (jazz singer) songs.
I propose to add the songs category back. :-) If you don't want to add the Universal Music Group category, I will agree, as a compromise. :-) (But actually it's done too, I'm sure. If it's a single, then it is added to the corresonding record label category. Universal Music Group is not something unknown, they won't be pleased if they learn that their single is absent from their category. :-))
Another random example, with two record labels and some people who recorded it: Blue Christmas (song) --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:05, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, you can put the category back if you want. If someone flies in and adds another category for someone else who covered the song, we can return to this discussion and work out a consensus. Cheers. jhsounds (talk) 00:21, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:30, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
