Cali Gurls has been dethroned from the #1 spot...needs to be updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.239.247.52 (talk) 17:42, 20 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Not that I care neither about Ke$ha nor about Katy Perry, but (stuff I heard) apparently according to New York Post (most reliable source I've found), there seems to be more than a passing similarity between this and Tik Tok... can this be mentioned somehow in the article? It seems to be relevant enough to be mentioned --186.87.18.30 (talk) 00:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

...

YES! What the fuck? Why is there no mention of it on EITHER song's page?? They're the same bloody track...

...

I feel the interest indicated by over a million views of just one of many such comparisons of the songs "California Gurls" and "TiK ToK" on YouTube alone warrants at least a mention of this item in this Wikipedia entry as well as the corresponding entry for "TiK ToK" that the songs are very similar, and that this entry should be made as part of the opening paragraphs (before the table of contents) with a cross-link to the wiki entry of both songs until some consequence comes to light (law suit, public statement, etc.) to warrant a separate full section entry on this issue.

1. There are several "credible" "mashups" demonstrating the similarity of these two songs. I define credibility in this instance as relying solely on cross-fading and instrumental overlay to prove this point as opposed to "DJ mixing" the two songs dance club style. The above cite of the New York Post article by the original author of this edit uses a "credible mashup" as well as pointing out that both songs were written and produced by Lukasz Gottwald (Dr. Luke) and Benjamin Levin (Benny Blanco) although Katy Perry and Ke$ha are signed to Capital Records and RCA respectively wherein lies the controversy.
2. Another established source claiming the songs are the same is "Opposing Views" [1] which created their own short "mashup" for the purpose of comparing the two songs.
3. Finally I cite "Tik Tok and California Gurls are the same song?" [2] by keepmakingmusic which has been viewed over a million times. Additional, a video response to this video [3] demonstrates on a piano keyboard how the melody of the two songs are only one note different for each hand, afterwards showing that the left hand of one song may be played with the right hand of the other with an almost indistinguishable result.
4. Despite many user, some web media, and a few traditional media comparisons suggesting potential contract violation and copyright infringement, there has as yet been no public statement from either company which begs the question: Is there a legitimate controversy if the affected parties do not care? This is the basis for my position that this does not warrant a separate section entry at this time but it does still warrant prominent mention.

I have this article on my watchlist so I noticed a recent disagreement over the use of precession vs. procession. Hopefully this has been resolved by User:Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars's edit summary explanation, but the corrected "precession" is indeed the correct term, as the table itself indicates songs which have "preceded" them in the charts, whereas procession refers to the act of "proceeding", i.e. advancing, moving on. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 17:32, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Does that mean all the featured articles that have them, including songs like "4 Minutes", "Hollaback Girl", "Irreplaceable", etc. and albums like Love. Angel. Music. Baby., got to FA status without anyone noticing the wrong word was being used? Yvesnimmo (talk) 17:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Really I think this is a matter of context; procession could be correct in that the charts proceed from one song to the next; I hadn't considered that previously. But "precession and succession" seems to make more sense together, as the section describes preceding and succeeding songs. "Chart procession" would also make sense, but when used along with the term succession, it seems to be a malapropism for precession. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 19:53, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I know I'm getting off topic here, but do you know what purpose having the succession boxes serve, anyway? The chart table already shows its chart position and its chart run is already described in the prose. What's the point of having a link to other songs that have nothing to do with the subject article? --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 21:12, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Why on earth does this article include (sic) after the title? Many works use alternate spellings, and Wikipedia doesn't append them with sic. See, for instance, the article on the Big Star song "September Gurls," which this is named for.

Since Wikipedia does not make this a standard practice with works that use alternate spellings, I can only assume the inclusion of "sic" is to, as the Wikipedia article on sic puts it: "for ridicule, typically by drawing attention to the original writer's mistakes."

I don't assume it's for ridicule, I assume something else, namely, that we want to make clear we're not just spelling it incorrectly ourselves. Everyone knows this is the encyclopedia anybody can edit; somebody will surely assume we made a mistake, and may make a good-faith effort to "correct" it. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 12:06, 15 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Wouldn't the title be an exception for this? I thought sic was for if there was a mistake, but since it was meant to be "Gurls" would it be needed? Candyo32 - Happy New Year :) 00:15, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I repeat. Here is the page for "September Gurls" by Big Star: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_gurls That page is not titled "September Gurls (sic)." Similarly, here is the page for the Nelly song "Hot in Herre": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_in_herre. It similarly does not use "sic."

Many artists give their works titles with non-standard spellings. Wikipedia does not append (sic) to these. Whether "sic" is included here out of good intentions or not is not the point. The point is that this is unusual for Wikipedia to do, and the page needs to be adjusted to keep it in line with other Wikipedia pages. I would correct this oversight, but the page is locked. Could someone who can unlock the page correct it?

The song is 4x Platinum in Canada now. It's also Platinum for Ringtones. You can see it on cria.ca.

I don't believe my edits should have been undone for these articles. My statement was "wikilink to funk-pop. genre is not mentioned within article. the term "disco-popping" does not just shorten down to disco...I don't even know what that sentence means in that article. About also says "electronic and effervescent" which isnt genre.".

• Funk-pop is not described on the article for funk. What is funk-pop? You should not link to something where there is no definition for the given term.
• Disco-popping is also not specific enough. Popping could be used as way to describe that it's dancable or that it's a pop song. The article does not make it clear.
• Describing the track as an electronic track is also not specific. It describes it's the sound of it or the base of it's instrumentation, but it doesn't really clarify that the author was discussing genre.

You need to find more strong sources to get all these things. Not to mention we have three different sources who can't even agree to what genre the song is. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:29, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

This isn't an FA, you're changing all these Katy Perry articles and scrutinizing EVERY. SINGLE. SOURCE. until you find one that says "everything about this song is the electronic genre because blah blah blah". I'd love to see you go through any Rihanna or Britney article, you'd have a field day. The sources don't have to be scrutinized the way that you do, especially not at a non-GA level.--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 21:39, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

It doesn't matter if it's a featured article or not as every article should aspire to be a featured article. If your largest argument is that I'm being picky, that doesn't make the other ciations any more correct. And I have gone through those other articles before. Just not yet. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:41, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Actually it does, read the GA page. The sources are perfectly acceptable as they are, but if this was attempting to be an FA article, it would be a different story and would have to be re-evaluated. They can be kept as they are for now. --(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 21:43, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps one editor found them acceptable, but I don't. That's why I'm bringing them up. The article failed it's GA-review. It doesn't matter if an article is a stub or a FA, it should represent things appropriately, not through vague interpretation. Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

But in your opinion, it is a vague interpretation, nobody else has had a problem but you. It ones thing if it said "the song sounds like Lana Del Rey" and I linked it to indie-pop, but the sources aren't vague whatsoever, they state what song the genre is, but not in the way that you feel suits your opinion. I've noticed that a majority of your edits have been towards film articles. Film reviews and music reviews are two separate things, and I think that is where the problem lies.--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 22:34, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

It doesn't matter how many people have problems with it. I'm just as important as any other editor, and I'm bringing up an issue. The terms they are using are too vague. Can you understand that? I don't think it matters what I edit more, as rules about citations don't change between projects. (not to mention I've created several good articles for music). If the citation isn't strong, I'm going to remove it, and if you are wikilinking to to terms that are not explained appropriately, they should not be wiki-linked. If I wanted to be strict, I'd say we shouldn't mention genres that we don't have articles for. But I digress, if I'm not breaking any rules and finding sources weak, they will be removed.

I'd rather you didn't insult my opinion. I didn't mean they were weak sources, I just they way interpreted were not specific enough. The souce is weak because the information you are trying to pull from them is not specific enough to say it's part of a genre. "disco popping" is not good terminology, we don't have articles or information about certain genres suggested, and the electronic one is far too vague. That's why they are weak. Any questions? Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:06, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

They literally say "the track is electronic", which is about as good as it gets when referring to genres, there's no "vagueness" to it. It's obvious what "disco-popping" is, it's like saying disco-licious, it's just WP:COMMONSENSE that you're blowing way out of proportion.--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 01:13, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ahh fine. I still don't agree but if your feelings are so strong by it i'll let it pass. I don't think think we should wiki link to genres that aren't described in certain pages though. Do you agree to that at least? Andrzejbanas (talk) 11:03, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

It's just following the rules. Genre is subjective, so we have to go by sources per WP:RS. I don't even agree with it all the time, and personally feel genres shouldn't be in the infobox.

Can someone fix this, I have tried to revert last before me edit but somehow all of it got reverted? And I can't return it because of some blacklisted page? Dhoffryn (talk) 22:11, 5 March 2024 (UTC) Dhoffryn (talk) 22:12, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I removed the about.com link culprit, and now the page is restored plus I undid the IP it seemed like you wanted to revert. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:28, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
