Forum:Music Article Phrasing - First Sentence

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > Music Article Phrasing - First Sentence

Alrighty. Seeing as how there's been a disagreement on this I've started this forum to settle a dispute on the music articles. The articles in question are the individual music track articles. From tonight's adventure: The Force in You, Tension Rising, Memories in Pieces, Kairi (track), and especially The 13th Floor. The first sentence goes something like this: "<music piece> is a <debate spot #1> by Yoko Shimomura that is <debate spot #2> in <insert games here>. Debate Spot #1: As KeybladeSpyMaster and I have been creating these individual track articles we've both been using a variety of words/phrases for this. So far what we've been using consists of: "is a musical composition" The 13th Floor "is a musical piece" Lazy Afternoons "is an instrumental piece" Naminé (track), Sinister Sundown- which is one of two of our "best example of music articles" "is a musical theme" Lord of the Castle "is a piece composed by" Click Not been used but another idea: "is a composition by" User talk:EternalNothingnessXIII#Re:Music articles first sentence So, example sentence: "The Force in You is a musical composition/musical piece/instrumental piece/musical theme/piece composed/composition by Yoko Shimomura..." To me, all of those musical phrases will work. I see nothing wrong with having a selection of options in which we can use- especially with the music articles. Music has so many different ways of saying something, outside of emotions, that when you look at it and think about...is pretty cool. So, that's my thoughts on that. I find it absolutely ridiculous that I'm having to write this forum up in the first place. We get made fun of all the time for arguing over the dumbest of things and being too strict, and yet here we are. I'll go even further to say this, I find it completely hilarious that the party voicing such claims is playing a part in this. I'll apologize for my partaking and will take a warning if that's what the community decides in the end. But, dang it guys, there are SO many other projects we could be doing on here and yet we're wasting time being RC vultures, doing simple grammar edits, and, worst of all, edit warring. If you are unsure of what these projects are, then look at the project pages or ask Neumannz, FifteenthMember, KeybladeSpyMaster, Kryten, and myself. We'll gladly share some links and get you on your way. Also, and this goes for anyone/everyone, if you're ever considering a staff position, the best way to prove yourself is to head projects, article creation, and actual hard work such as filling in multiple pages and sections- what is listed over on the staff page. Just because you've been here forever doesn't entitle you to anything; time spent on here means nothing- look at KSM, he's an admin and he hasn't been here for more than two years. ^_^ Oh, and the lack of discussion on Debate Spot #2 goes to show just how ridiculous and silly I think all of this is. Now, back to those .ogg files. >_< Xion4ever Who am I? — 03:19, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Eternal Nothingness XIII How many times do I have to beat you? I personally find this forum uncalled for and unnecessary, as well. I strive for professionalism, and the only reason why I've been "correcting" your music articles is because they were worded rather poorly in some places. In the end, I thought we settled on "________ is a musical composition by Yoko Shimomura...". That's why I went ahead and started changing the other articles to reflect that. I do not think it is fair to be glorifying certain users on the forums at the expense of others, either. Some of us work just as hard as others, even if we aren't the leaders of any project in particular or there aren't any articles to create.

Eternal Nothingness XIII Run! Run away! I apologize for that little outburst. All I have been trying to do is maintain professionalism and consistency on the Wiki, that is all. Edit warring and causing a fuss was not at all my intention. I'm still not sure how appropriate it was to take such a small matter and turn it into a forum, but I'll support whatever we decide to do. Is "_________ is a musical composition by Yoko Shimomura..." still alright?
