[edit] Teen Spirit

There's no reason to rearrange the page. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:10, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

"Composition" suffices, since the song is the subject. "Release, success, and acclaim" has that title because it deals with all three aspect in one section, whereas other song articles would be structure differently depending on what information is available for referencing purposes. The song only appears on one studio album, and relevant live recordings are discussed in the article, so listing compilation appearances is unnecessary; if anything, those compilation appearances are wroth noting on the compilations instead. The current structure of the article is pretty resilient, having gone through the Featured Article process and having been featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the past year, and it really needs no changing. Articles vary in structure, and the current structure suits this article fine. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I see you've done work on the Mogwai song articles (which is commendable; I like Mogwai). To compare the subjects, what works for "Tracy" doesn't necessarily work for "Smells Like Teen Spirit", and vice versa. Having honestly read every single resource available on the song, the sheer mountain of material available on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" results in a very different article than "Tracy" will ever be. Now the real question is: do you like Cocteau Twins? WesleyDodds (talk) 10:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Robots In Disguise

Hi, I was just wondering why you deleted the Robots In Disguise discography from their page? The albums remain, but all the singles etc have been deleted by you. Themirrorandthelamp (talk) 15:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
