Collaborate?

On the background info it stated that gaga had collaborated with a number of artists on her remix album. But she didn't, they were pre existing remixes of her songs, she didn't collaborate with them for the album at all. the only songs that dont apply to that are "Dance in the Dark" and "Alejandro". all the rest are already released.--Apeaboutsims (talk) 05:22, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It does say Gaga had collaborated. The source used is The Guardian an extremely reliable source. Hence I will go for it. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:32, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That passage isn't official enough, regardless of how reliable the said newspaper is, to 'prove' she actually physically collaborated with any of the remixers, or even just logistically speaking. However, she did physically collaborate with Marilyn Manson on the Love Game, which was later remixed I believe, as there's ample sourced coverage on that. Imperatore (talk) 21:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean official enough? The Guardian is considered reliable, and I don't see anything in it that cries of fancruft. It says that Gaga collaborated with said remixers. What is so not-trustworthy in it? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:51, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean is that for the journalist writing this article, it is very easy and makes perfect sense to use the term 'collaborate', and in good faith, to describe an album with multiple artist contributions on it. However, this does not mean it's an accurate depiction of reality, and sometime even the introduction of one word in a good article could alter the meaning of something and make it constitute original research. I'm no expert on remixes, but from what I've read remixers and other DJs often remix tracks independently. However, in the case of high-profile artists on major labels and especially when a remix release is intended, the label will commission high-profile remixers to produce remixes, paying them in advance just as they would do with any other producer on a record. I would assume this is what Interscope/other 3 labels did here. Let's face it, Gaga barely has time to do anything outside of her touring schedule and her other more obvious promo commitments, let alone 'collaborate' with several different people in a studio on a series of remixes. Obviously I'm rationalizing here, and because the Guardian is considered a reliable source, I'm totally fine with keeping the term, although I think it's very reasonable to take it with a grain of salt.

OK now that you explain it, I understand your pont of view. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:30, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Remix (album) → The Remix —

Nothing else seems to be titled "The Remix", thus the disambiguation is unnecessary. A dablink to Remix and/or Remix (disambiguation) can be included in the article if necessary. –Chase (talk) 22:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
close proximity to remix makes employment of a qualifier appropriate. --Labattblueboy (talk) 02:39, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Which is why I propose the dablink. I doubt anyone will search "The Remix" and expect to come to Remix. –Chase (talk) 03:20, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support the move. If there is nothing called The Remix, its fine to move this one. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:36, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support - "The Remix" is unique and exclusive of the term Remix. Imperatore (talk) 06:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
