Pieces of Me (song) was a
good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the
good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it,
please do; it may then be
renominated. Review: January 29, 2006. ( Reviewed version). |
one-sided, no discussion of actual music, instruments, rhythm, lyrics etc.
Questions for Everyking based on recent revert history:

I said that it is not necessary. At the same time, it is not necessary to remove them. They are integrated into the text well enough. 172 05:31, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
If it bothers you so much, just don't read the chart data. No one's holding a gun to your head when you click on an aritcle demanding that you read all the supplements, after all. 172 05:31, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
If you think that certain matters are downplayed, expand these areas. Deleting factual content is not the answer, though. 172 05:31, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The current version of the article does not contain redundant information and is more streamlined (especially in the chart-position section), which is why I reverted to it. Madame Sosostris 01:03, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Any added chart text I add here has already been trimmed from Autobiography sales and chart positions, so it's no longer duplicated. iMeowbot~ Mw 04:04, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
"It's your single, and you better get it right." --> "It's your single, and you better figure out a way to do it."
Can I do nothing? I can't even describe the commercial in one sentence? Everyking 07:29, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hmm, I think this article has quite a bit of excessive detail; for example, we don't need to know that the song is the second track on the album or that Simpson wears a white "punk" shirt and a pink dress in the video. Extraordinary Machine 20:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, I did perform a cleanup of this article a while back ( [1]), but Everyking reverted me without explanation. I just realised that I accidentally removed the mention of the Teen Choice Award win, but all of my changes were undone, including ones which only changed formatting. Could Everyking please explain why those edits were reverted? Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 20:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I have read this article several times now and I think it requires a major clean-up. For one, why is every sentence in the "chart performance" section referenced? There are also many sentences that are fairly choppy, some of which have three or four words. I counted over twenty redundancies: is it necessary to provide a citation that the song is track number two on Autobiography? Do we need to know that it was nominated at ten different awards ceremonies only to lose other musicians (which also include citations galore)? The article, as a whole, needs a much-required copy-edit, the image should not have a logo in it, and the chart trajectories need to be converted to image form. See other featured song articles for help ( Cool (song)). — Eternal Equinox | talk 22:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
There are too many citations. Who is going to care whether the song is track 2 on the album or not? I find that amusing. Additionally, MTV's logo should not be displayed in the image; we do not warrant the permission to have it on Wikipedia. (Before changing the chart trajectory to image format, please locate another international chart so that there are more than one.) — Eternal Equinox | talk 19:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't really know much about music but I think there is some meaning in the track placement artists choose for their songs. I'd think the first and second songs tend to be those that are expected to do best. If there's a song that's different from others on the CD (e.g. a remix or an instrumental piece) it tends to be placed at the end. But I'm frustratingly unable to find any references on this. Haukur 14:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
It's worth noting, considering what a heinous revert warrior I am that they are now looking to impose new and extreme arbitration penalties against me, that I haven't restored the track listing info, or edited the article at all after EM's last couple changes, and far from campaigning to get it back in, I haven't even continued the discussion and I've been pretty much content to let it drop. Everyking 04:29, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
I noticed this apparently used to be a Good Article but was removed from the list. The notice says there are "suggestions" here, but I don't see any. Does anybody know why it was removed? Everyking 20:07, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
