[edit] Galapogos?

I know the correct spelling is Galápagos (yes, with the second "a" accented)... but I'm wondering if the misspelling is the band's, or the editors'. Anyone got their album handy who can verify this?

It's spelled on the album "Galapogos". God knows why. Thanks for asking first! Underwater 15:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Right now both spellings are listed on this album page.. I say they should both read "Galapogos" as given on the album. I'm going to make the change -- please protest in response here. 74.128.253.162 01:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

no no no no... i think it should stay as the album spelling...if it doesn't stay a sthe album spelling does that mean that we should change all the (supposed) misspellings on every album? "Galapogos" is the album spelling and, whether it is an error on Corgan's (or the label's or whoever's) side or not, Galapogos it should stay...Sickboy3883 22:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Record of the Year?

If it was released in 1995, how was it nominated for Record of the Year (1979)? Shouldn't that be 1997?

No it means that the song 1979 was nominated for Record of the Year.Aljohnston 23:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I reformatted all the album and song titles to conform to WP:MOS-T which also has the nice side effect of making it more clear that it's referring to the song "1979" and not the year. Pimlottc 20:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Song articles

Is it necessary for every friggin' song on the album to have an entry? I simply do not see why 'Thru The Eyes Of Ruby' needs an entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.149.83.23 (talk) 19:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Outtakes (possible errors)

Howdy, I'm looking on my iPod right now at my (massive) SP collection. I'm trying to match the info given on this page with what I have in the way of demos and outtakes for MCIS. I'm not having much luck. While much of the information listed is correct, others (such as the descriptions of "Wishing You Were Here") seem to be a little off the mark. Additionally, while I have copies of MCIS Demos I, II, and III, as well as Billy's Gravity Demos and Sequence IV, I can't find any of the instrumentals listed here (at least not under those names). I am fairly sure that my versions are correct, as they are from reliable sources (RSPAA, ZOMB tracker site, and the old www.billy-corgan.com site). Also, a quick check at SPFC.org doesn't come back with any hits for these 3 instrumentals. I am going to keep an eye on this discussion for a while, and if I don't see anything in the way of explanation, I'll be replacing the current list with my own. --Kylemanor 18:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

In any case, ee gads this section is waaaay too long and detailed. I really dont see why an album article needs this level of detail about stuff thats NOT EVEN ON THE ALBUM. SPFC can handle this nitty gritty, lets leave it off wikipedia. -Werideatdusk33 05:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
