List of songs in Guitar Hero World Tour[edit]

Another Guitar Hero songlist, this for the most recent Guitar Hero World Tour. Format attempts to follow the previous games' songlists, with a note that the second table will continue to grow as more downloadable content is added so I'm making sure the form is appropriate for this. (As a note, getting this article to FLC is necessary to maintain the Guitar Hero Featured Topic; there's time to make sure this is in place, but there's not much more that can be added structurally to this that I can see.) --MASEM 00:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The game was released in October 2008 on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 game consoles. - released where? Only in the U.S. or where?
  • There needs to be in the lead some statement as to why the series and this game is so popular, as in other video game lists.
  • In the main setlist, one of the songs has a "(unplugged)" - what does this mean?
  • In addition to custom songs, players of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii versions will be able to download new licensed songs for the game. - this should be in past tense.
  • What source is verifying the release dates for the DC?
  • Why is the color for the column names different from the main setlist?
  • Because this list has information that will happen in the future, a {{future}} template should be used.--SRX 23:05, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The popularity of the series is covered in the main game articles and hasn't been a part of the other GH songlists; I did note what reviewers thought of the setlist, however, to give this some mention of impact. The dates for DLC are confirmed with the references on the pack names. Given that there is no indefinite point where the DLC will stop becoming available, I don't know if the {{future}} tag is appropriate - the list is changing, but most of what is stated in the article is fixed. --MASEM 02:01, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • And missed one question: there is no specific information of why Nirvana's "About a Girl" is listed as (unplugged), but I can speculate this is the version from the famous "Nirvana Unplugged" show on MTV - I can't confirm that, however, so it simply is listed as it is in the game (though it should be inside the quotes). --MASEM 14:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • In response to the first reply, it does not matter, there needs to be some background to show notability of the series, and one way is to show it's popularity or a small sentence or two about the reception of the game itself or series.
      • Were my other technical questions resolved, just curious?SRX 02:30, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I added something here for the notability, but I still feel this is out of place on this list article as the series impact is covered in Guitar Hero, and the game itself in Guitar Hero World Tour. All the other technical points you mentioned were addressed. --MASEM 15:13, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - my review was resolved to meet WP:WIAFL.--SRX 02:02, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • "a series that has accumulated over 23 million units sold and $1.6 billion retail earnings."-->a series of which over 23 million units have been sold and earned $1.6 billion in retail earnings. or something similar, the current version is not worded right.
    • "The game was released in October 2008 on the..." Shouldn't it be "for the"?
    • "The game is developed"-->was developed.
    • "popular rock songs from the 1960s to contemporary hits"-->popular rock songs that date from the 1960s to contemporary hits.
    • "songs are distributed into various "gigs" containing" "containing"-->that contain. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:45, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
