I know this might have been discussed earlier, but what was the actual release date for this album? I'm finding multiple sources, including Cann, Spitz, Discogs, and AllMusic say it's 6 June while davidbowie.com says 16 June. I'm super confused as to which one it actually was. – zmbro ( talk) 15:17, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
ISTR reading in a couple of Bowie biogs (possibly Pegg and Sandford) there were two different mixes of Starman, one being the standard version almost everyone knows, the other having the morse code style bit mixed down lower. The single version I have from the original release has the standard mix but the Canadian import album I bought at the time (there was a vinyl shortage in the UK) has the alternate version. AFAIK, no explanation has ever been given for this. I'd be very grateful if anyone can shed light on it, and, if possible, inclusion in the article itself.

No, that's absolutely fine. I somehow overlooked the article. Duuh. SamXT ( talk) 22:39, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Adding !scope="row"
to the weekly and year-end chart tables would follow
MOS:DTAB and provide a darker shade to match the sales certifications table. Also, using both the subsection headings and table captions essentially gives two lines of headings, which looks repetitive/busy (since no other albums are mentioned, adding Ziggy Stardust to each really isn't needed either). Small point, but I've seen "Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)"s for Featured list candidates. —
