Compilation appearance?[edit]

AllMusic says "April Fools" appears on this compilation album, but the album's page doesn't include the song in the track listing. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:28, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Carbrera: Looking forward to collaborating with you and hopefully promoting this article to GA status! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another Believer – I have been collecting some additional sources for the article and came across this and this, which appear to be evidence of a CD single release in the UK. Given the music video too, do you think it would be appropriate to change the infobox type from song to single? Carbrera (talk) 02:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Carbrera, I don't believe the "single" was available for purchase. If I recall correctly, those were simply used for promotional purpose, shared by the record label for radio stations, etc. I don't think we should use "single" unless we find sources specifically confirming or evidence of possible public purchase. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:29, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I won't change anything then. I will, however, look for further evidence of an actual single release. The AllMusic source does refer to it as a single, but I haven't quite finished looking through all of the article's sources you've gathered. Carbrera (talk) 02:41, 24 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Please ignore my edit summary from the previous edit. Darn auto-fill! Carbrera (talk) 02:27, 24 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Resolved

Carbrera, Avoiding main space edits while you're working on the page, but be sure to take another look at how Ref 17 was formatted. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:40, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I think I forgot I even accessed the bot in the first place – it has been behaving abnormally slowly for me lately. Carbrera (talk) 23:48, 25 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Carbrera, No prob, just want to make sure we're displaying Rock Song Index: The 7500 Most Important Songs for the Rock and Roll Era, author Bruce Pollock, year 2014, etc. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:50, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Credits/personnel[edit]

The liner notes for the album don't have credits tied to specific tracks, so we may need to derive from Rufus_Wainwright_(album)#Personnel if we want this article to have a credits/personnel section? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
