[[User:Mel Etitis|Mel Etitis]], I want you out of this article, as it has become my baby. I want to be responsible for its (I'm hoping) FA status one day, and I don't require your presence. Do not remove the lyrics, as I have the copyright information posted as a reference. In addition, the entire song is not exhibited to the world in the article, so I can claim this as fair use. --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 01:24, 17 October 2005 (UTC) |
Revision as of 01:24, 17 October 2005
Please note that this was unilaterally deleted by User:Mel Etitis in a blatant misuse of sysop abilities, requiring the recreation of the article. Everyking 5 July 2005 13:32 (UTC)
Not Wikipedia style
Here is the (unwikified, sadly) old article, which I retrieved from the deletion history:
"Cool" is the planned fourth single off of pop star Gwen Stefani's multi-platinum album Love. Angel. Music. Baby..
It is about her looking back at a past relationship with No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal.
This single will be the follow-up release to the mega-hit "Hollaback Girl", which topped the United States Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks.
For the week ending June 25, 2005, it was the highest debut (#44) on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay Chart, beating out "Ass Like That" by Eminem (#47) and "Speed of Sound" by Coldplay (#48). It has now peaked at #42, meanwhile, Eminem slipped off the chart.
"Cool" premiered at TRL on June 30, 2005 and is expected to climb the charts.
Link to music video
Are we not allowed to include a link to the music video? DrippingInk July 6, 2005 17:28 (UTC)
- If Mel would please stop his strongarm tactics on this and related articles...I strongly prefer Omega's version. Mel cannot just continue doing this when he is in the minority. Everyking 7 July 2005 17:18 (UTC)
You're talking nonsense. When two people are reverting to their preferred versions, in what sense is one of them "using strongarm tactics"? The discussion is taking place mainly at Talk:Since U Been Gone; my point is, first, that the article is about the song, so having a section on "The song" is pointless, and secondly, that we shouldn't obveruse sections (as per the M<anual of Style). I've placed this at RfC; let's see what other editors think. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 7 July 2005 17:51 (UTC)
- You don't realize you also reverted a bunch of info on the music video and chart positions? Everyking 7 July 2005 17:59 (UTC)
No I didn't; for that I apologise (it would have been helpful if, instead of snarling aggressively and uninformatively in the first place you'd actually said what your worry was). The material involved, however, includes the duplication of categories, and the usual fan-cruft use of first names instead of surnames, so needs to be edited. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 7 July 2005 18:09 (UTC)
- So... does someone care to answer my question? Winnermario July 7, 2005 18:16 (UTC)
What question did you ask (it doesn't seem to appear here)? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 7 July 2005 21:08 (UTC)
- Are we allowed to link the music video to this article? I think it would seem appropriate... but if it's breaking Wikipedia rules, then I guess we cannot do that. DrippingInk July 8, 2005 14:41 (UTC)
Scrap the music video suggestion. It appears there is a broken link to the website. DrippingInk 19:14, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
Important Removal of Information
Mel, please stop removing information which is quite relevant to the song's message. OmegaWikipedia 08:21, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- Given that it's only just been added to the article (by someone else), it was (and is) difficult to see how it's essential. It's also only about the video, and no link is made to the song. It's also poorly written, and at the very least needs to be copy-edited; as it seemed to be a bit of fan-cruft gossip, I thought it better just to remove it. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:44, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
Changes
For reasons of consistency, I have altered the "Charts" format to co-incide with the format of Gwen Stefani's other singles.
