These are some of the early reviews that I have removed for right now, but I have used the Metacritic ones with the lone exception of USA Today in order to balance it out. [1] [2] [3] [4] AdditionSubtraction ( talk) 19:16, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
He's single handedly deciding what should be up there and taking down important information. Can someone please check this ( Personal attack removed)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theonlybman ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Just a thought; I've seen it mentioned on Twitter for most of the day that most of U2's back catalogue has re-entered the charts (or at least the top 100 on iTunes) as a direct result of the release. Might be worth including that boost if a reliable source for it can be found. Melicans ( talk, contributions) 01:02, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
I suggest we move this to "Songs of Innocence". According to a wikipedia search, and also according to the article Songs of Innocence and of Experience (disambiguation), there is nothing else that matches this exactly. There are articles with longer titles, article with a "song" as a singular. But if there's nothing else with the same title, shorter is better. Comments? Srezz ( talk) 13:13, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
I found differences between two types of iTunes covers. The early release is on here, and it has the sun-like thing on the left side of the label. The newer one has the sun-like thing on the right, and takes off the LP written on the label. See for yourself. I don't know why they made this change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.116.140.74 ( talk) 17:17, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move the page to Songs of Innocence (U2 album), per the discussion below. The plain title, Songs of Innocence, is a redirect to a different article, and this discussion did not establish that the U2 album is the primary topic for the search term. The discussion also exhibited a lack of agreement that this is the "primary" album with the title Songs of Innocence. Dekimasu よ! 21:41, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
Songs of Innocence (album) → Songs of Innocence (U2 album) – WP:NCM. --Relisted. Dekimasu よ! 00:26, 2 November 2014 (UTC) In ictu oculi ( talk) 01:03, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
The cover which was infamously automatically downloaded to tens of millions of users' iTunes accounts, or the cover of a commercial version that has sold substantially less? I think the one which should be used at the top of the infobox is pretty obvious, and so does Correctingsection0062, but Y2kcrazyjoker4 disagrees. Explanations? Input from others? – Chase ( talk / contribs) 00:29, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I honestly don't know why I'm wasting my time on some numbnuts who thinks he knows everything about album articles, but it's just getting irritating and childish. Apparently, Mr. Know-it-all here believes that the critics reviews we use to source the genres for this page and The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone) fall under WP:BIASED, WP:QUESTIONABLE, and WP:RSOPINION. I just want to ask: besides music critics and the artist themselves, who else could we use as a source? If Wikipedia uses music critics as trusted sources, then how else do we source genres? I guess that music critics would fall under WP:RSOPINION, but again, how else do we source genres? They do require a source after all, according to WP:OR, WP:RS, and WP:SUBJECTIVE.
