Discrepancy--the intro paragraph cites the death of her Uncle Jonathan, but the Inspiration paragraph talks about the death of her Uncle Bill. Quartney ( talk) 02:38, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
The analysis of the lyrics is just speculation, and that should be noted. The song has multiple meanings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.113.188.66 ( talk) 01:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I have written a bit about the chord structure of the song, and a little about the song structure, but it is not my area of expertise. I would greatly appreciate some help correcting that part. I just looked at guitar tabs online to write it (and the one that I kept finding appeared to be wrong about the chord progression in the bridge; the guitar only plays two different chords during that part). - Carolyn81 04:10, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Since this article isn't really a stub anymore, I removed the Stubclass template and changed the WikiProject Songs template to say Start class (the Stubclass template said to do this if I disagreed with the class assessment, which I did). I also removed the infobox request template, since the article has an infobox now. - Carolyn81 04:17, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm wondering why the parenthetical portion of the article title is there - "(Just Like the White Winged Dove)." I find no other reference to the song title having that included. Not in info boxes, track listings, album covers, other online sources such as Allmusic, and so on. Is there a reference for the parenthetical portion that I'm missing? Because it seems to me that the title of the song is "Edge of Seventeen" and noting else, and therefore the article title should match. Concur? Medleystudios72 ( talk) 14:05, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
Nicks has made many versions of this song, on record and on video, some of them much longer than the original and with extra lyrics. It seems to me that this article would be strengthened if it had a section listing such things as the Red Rocks vid and the Soundstage session record and vid. Alf Heben ( talk) 00:02, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move song article to Edge of Seventeen (song) and leave dab as it is Armbrust The Homunculus 06:26, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
– Allmusic, iTunes, and Nicks' official website all refer to this song as simply "Edge of Seventeen", and make no mention of the parenthetical subtitle. Also, "Edge of Seventeen" pulls in 3x more results that "Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)", and the song receives over three times the page views that the movie does. WikiRedactor ( talk) 20:35, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Moved as proposed. By my count, seven editors support the move (Chasewc91, SNUGGUMS, AjaxSmack, Calidum, Dohn joe, Bretonbanquet, Cuchullain), with AjaxSmack also proposing to delete the dab altogether and resolve ambiguity in a hatnote. Three editors are clearly in opposition (George Ho, In ictu oculi, Richhoncho), with BarrelProof also raising some concerns, although not in outright opposition. Per WP:TWODABS, it is understood that a reader coming to a disambiguation page might be no more inconvenienced than a reader coming to a page where the alternative topic for which they were searching can be found in a hatnote. In this case, the primary topic by pageviews and apparent historical importance is under 9,000 bytes, and should not present an excessive loading time for the typical reader searching for any of these pop-culture topics. A hatnote can therefore accommodate the other significant meaning (or meanings) of the term. bd2412 T 05:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
– The Stevie Nicks song is clearly the primary topic. It's surprising that it even has to be considered that such a well-known song would be primary over a little-known flop movie. Pageview stats don't lie - the song article received nearly 3 times as many views in the last 90 days as the film article. – Chase ( talk / contribs) 19:41, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
This page is about the song. For the 1998 film, see
Edge of Seventeen (film). "The Edge of Seventeen", a short story by Alexandra Sokoloff, was the recipient of a 2009
International Thriller Writers Award.
This in-depth BBC piece has a lot about the song Edge of Seventeen: An anthem that stuns each new generation. I've not used anything from it yet. Onanoff ( talk) 03:43, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
