[edit] Length of Elvis Presley

Just under 120kb is the largest the article has been, I believe. We should set a goal to get it closer to 80kb. That's my recommendation. Lara❤Love 21:15, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Elvis Presley songs

I spent about an hour cleaning up List of Elvis Presley songs, removing a number of obviously bogus and erroneous entries, fixing wikilinks that either went somewhere else, or went to another song entirely, and so on. The list still needs a lot of work. There are a few song titles I feel dubious about, plus there needs to be many corrections regarding capitalization of song titles (words like "and", "to", etc. are usually always left lower-case unless they're the first word, for example). Most importantly I killed a bunch of redlinks. Generally I'm all for keeping redlinks, even in lists, but in this case only B and C actually had every song made a wikilink, so it wasn't consistently applied, and we ended up with some links being created for songs and topics that have nothing to do with Elvis, such as the link for the song Angel which, of course, went to angel. Etc. 23skidoo (talk) 03:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I missed this before. There are so many things to be fixed up regarding Elvis. The whole thing is a mess right now. Thank you for all the work you've put into Elvis content, it's obviously sorely needed. Lara❤Love 04:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Album track listings

I just noticed that some album articles such as How Great Thou Art (album) have incorrect track listing information. We should be listing the original release track list, not the later CD reissue versions. The bonus tracks can be listed separately. A good example is Pot Luck (album) where the original LP release and 1999 CD release have separate track listings. If there's only one song and the basic song order isn't changed, such as the case with the How Great Thou Art article, I don't think a second full listing is necessary, just a line saying such-and-such was added for the CD release. 23skidoo (talk) 01:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this up. I'll add it to the project page. Feel free to make such additions to the to-do list. Everyone is welcome to change the project page. :) Lara❤Love 04:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] non-notable

I tagged the article about minor Elvis in-law Danny Keough as non-notable. Steve Dufour (talk) 21:28, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

In process of adding some cites/info. Cirt (talk) 21:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Y Done -- Expanded the article a bit more, w/ info from (35) cites. Cirt (talk) 00:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Cirt. My complaint is withdrawn. Sorry to question the notability of any relative of the King's. :-) Steve Dufour (talk) 02:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Love me Tender

Hello, I think Love Me Tender (song) has several sentences that should be in a different article, they don't directly relate to the topic of the article. The material is about Elvis getting co-writing credits for several songs, payola, etc. I think this should be in another article. The article says that Elvis got co-writing credit on all or almost all new songs, and I thought that I read in a book about Elvis that this happened only on a few early ones.
