I am of and always have been of the impression that songwriters should always be credited by their birth name/full name. For example on this song Gaga should be written as Stefani Germenotta. BMI even gives you the legal registration of her birth name as seen here [1] Lil-unique1 ( talk) 23:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

There is now a Cencored version of the video on [ [2]]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.79.159.43 ( talk) 05:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Should her version be mentioned? It is getting some attention from the media and I think it would be better to add a small section at some point, because I can imagine crazy fans will come here and try to add the information everywhere. Xwomanizerx ( talk) 15:54, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
I agree. It should definately be mentioned, maybe in 'development'. However, keep an eye on how many youtube hits it gets for example to check its relevance. I would source it from this digital spy article which is a very reliable opinion-free site. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a217919/britneys-telephone-leaks-onto-web.html 88.107.72.103 ( talk) 22:10, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Could someone add positions from official (see: Polish Music Charts) polish airplays by ZPAV in Telephone (song)? It's:
As I said - it's OFFICIAL - ZPAV not deleted Polish National Top 50).
I can't do this. Thanks :) ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by MecenasMuzyczny ( talk • contribs) 14:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Please note: there is no official source to credit a James Rendon Remix for each of these remix ep's. It is of my opinion, based that no official source on google other than Wikipedia and youtube can reference such a remix existing. please validate and update accordingly
This is simply driving me nuts- the entire page has comma errors. I only changed one. The line "The main inspiration behind the song, was Gaga's fear of suffocation" is NOT correct. This is the correct way to write it: "The main inspiration behind the song was Gaga's fear of suffocation." There are tons of sentence structures that are broken because of these incorrect comma "splices." Think of it this way; when you read the above statement, do you stop and take a breath after "behind the song?" No- therefore is doesnt need a comma, because it is one clean sentence and it is not divided in it's subject matter. Now if you wrote it like this, on the other hand; "The main inspiration in the song, reported Gaga in an interview, was Gaga's fear of suffocation" it would be correct. Now, with that being said, I am too lazy to go and fix all of the mistakes so somebody else needs too rewrite the page with correct punctuation. Thanks.
The live performances image is incorrect. It shows Lady Gaga performing at the 2009 BRIT Awards as a featured artist on the Pet Shop Boys' Outstanding Contribution performance, not as a performer in her own right at the 2010 ceremony as stated.
The opening of this article includes this statement: « The main inspiration behind the song was Gaga's fear of suffocation. » Although further into the article, there is a quote by Gaga that describes how she defines suffocation ( « —something that I have or fear is never being able to enjoy myself, [...] 'Cause I love my work so much » ), this definition is very idiomatic, and not really its most common meaning ( asphyxiation). This makes the opening of the article very misleading. The song is not about Gaga's fear of dying from lack of air. -- I think this sentence should be changed to: « The main inspiration of the song was Gaga's fear of being able to enjoy herself because of her dedication to her career. » -- It's an improvement, I think.

Surely it's more common to say a film is "Director's", i.e. Ridley Scott's T&L, not Callie Khouri's T&L? Hrcolyer ( talk) 19:49, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
The number of commercially available covers, tributes and alternative versions spawned since the official release of telephone a few months ago suggests to me that this is a song of rare significance. Given that the article already contained the subhead “other versions” it seemed logical to note some cover versions and do a bit of serendipitous deorphaning. Saluting Legolas2186’ use of the neologism fancruft i deny the charge. Let’s now discuss inclusion here of text like:
The song is perhaps also notable for the number and genre variety of commercially available (e.g. iTunes) cover versions. Three months after original release (as of May 2010) these include recordings by HelenaMaria, Aston (classical), Bangin Productions (rock) and Pomplamoose. Shythylacine ( talk) 13:52, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
(Outdent) There were no link present in the original citations, hence they were removed. This time, today you again added the same tree link, they were removed again. Now you have added a bunch of Youtube links, which are grossly unreliable and copyright violating links. You either specify a reliable source reporting these cover versions else they will be removed. --Legolas (talk2me) 12:19, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Isn't the single cover art a black and white picture of lady gaga? The current art is for the remixes album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.201.211 ( talk) 16:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
The picture of her performing at her concert is not her performing Telephone! That's Alejandro! She is wearing the studded bra and underwear when she performs Telephone! Someone change it please! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.73.67 ( talk) 17:30, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
This article says the song is in F minor, but we can be more specific: it is in F Dorian, a minor mode, because its scale has D natural instead of the D flat of true F minor. Is the sheet music enough of a citation for this, or does somebody have to mention it in a music theory context? 96.250.109.69 ( talk) 12:21, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi, listen Telephone has gone platinum in the US and Gold in the UK, just to let you all know, please could you state this, thank you and I'm sorry I'm new to wikipedia so I don't know how everything works...

As a New Yorker I would like to point out a possible mistake in the song's lyrics. At one point Beyonce says, "Sometimes I feel like I live in Grand Central Staion" but I believe she meant to say Grand Central Terminal. Grand Central Terminal is the iconic Beaux Arts building where Metro North trains terminate their ride. Grand Central Station is below Grand Central Terminal and services the MTA subway. Beyond that it is a common mistake (even for New Yorkers) to mislabel Grand Central Terminal as Grand Central Station.
Warsaw112 ( talk) 23:46, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
I indicated the release date dubious. I guess the US release is meant here? In which case it should be labelled as such. The article itself says the song charted in four countries in 2009, one of which was the UK. The UK chart rules ( The Official Chart Company) prohibits the charting of anything that is it released so it was definitely released I'm the UK in November 2009.

"I can't even watch the 'Telephone' video, I hate it so much... Beyoncé and I are great together. But there are so many f**king ideas in that video and all I see in that video is my brain throbbing with ideas and I wish I had edited myself a little bit more", Gaga told Time Out.
It would be interesting to add this to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.81.47.193 ( talk) 23:16, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
