May 17[edit]

A 'question' to a show, then an added song or 'album?'[edit]

my original question was at... Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums? But, mostly in the 'example' or article? Which falls under Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga...

And, at the time I wasn't sure to ask it there? or over at 'albums?' As looked at here? In which after a day or so? Uh?

'Example' 1a, (Before the note was almost to the bottom of the page, err article?) then 1b, (which is right after, and the note was listed at the bottom.) So? My question is? Does the 'note' goes last? or? Before the infobox, with the 'song/ album?' Tainted-wingsz (talk) 14:28, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I've read the above multiple times and I've read the links you provided and I'm really having trouble parsing your question. If your question is: "Should the note list come before the reference list?" then the answer is yes. If that's not your question, could you perhaps re-phrase it without all the question marks and text you've added to make it sound more conversational?

Oh, yes. It's just that, at the time. When an article just has the 'episode list' only. Usually, the note list came right after. Then if it had something else too. Like a soundtrack or some listed songs. Then, what now?
And later I thought, is there one of those, uh, example template(s). That can help tell, what to do. In the same article. If applying the episode list, then a song/soundtrack, etc... When a show has been on for a while and what songs was used too. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 13:28, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again, it's difficult to follow your phrasing. Adding "uh"s to your prose can create an effect if you're careful with it, but when you combine it with unconventional grammar, it is easy to get lost. If I understand you correctly, my reply is this: Both references and notes are generally meant to be at the bottom of the page. The only time you would move notes anywhere else was if it aided in comprehension to have them elsewhere, such as immediately below a table or chart. If in doubt, go with what seems to make the article better. Matt Deres (talk) 18:50, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
