[edit] 41-word title

I found this article simply titled "Medley" several places in Wikipedia. I don't think the official 41-word title is appropriate. Every book I find that mentions this song refers to the song as the "Stars on 45 Medley". It also avoids the disambiguation page for Medley. I will go through and changes the links so they link to this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rt66lt (talk • contribs) 23:41, January 12, 2006

In Billboard Number One Hits and Billboard Top 40 Hits by Joel Whitburn, the full 41-word title is given. But we should be consistent with The Talented Mr. Ripley (film) regarding short, common and lengthy, official titles (which this currently is). —Twigboy 15:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

If you sift through the actual charts in 1981, the 41-word title (not just "Stars of 45") is given. However, either way would be fine, and I don't think any changes need to be made to this article regarding that at this point. Drdr1989 02:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ironic & Hypocrite Use Of Trivia by Wikipedia

It's ironic and hypocritical that Wikipedia discourages the use of trivia, but yet adds trivia when regarding itself. The example is the "Did you know" section above when it mentions the Stars on 45 Medley article was mentioned on January 16, 2006 on its main page.
