absolutepunk staff reviews?

Why are these accepted? As a current reviewer, I can tell you there is 0 editorial process or oversight. In reality, there is no separate process at all from a user review except for the fact that "staff" reviews are highlighted on the front page. I love my job there, but I love Misplaced Pages more and would rather we improve our great community here with real sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.173.165 (talk) 02:55, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Relevant CfD

Please see Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_September_28#Category:Classical_albums_by_date Since I created it, you know how I hope you'll !vote but either way, feedback is useful. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:46, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Discussion about collapsing music track lists

I have started a new discussion about collapsing track lists at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility#Collapsing_music_track_lists. --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:10, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Discussion about Acid Rap

I have started a new discussion about moving or redirecting a mixtape album by the name of Acid Rap to Acid Rap (album) or Acid Rap (mixtape) over at Talk:Acid Rap#No_contrary_evidence. Ben0kto (talk) 22:39, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Category:Disney theme park albums

Hello. I wanted to let you know that most of the articles in this category are currently up for deletion – either as prod or as a full AfD. De728631 (talk) 19:54, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Reviews

Hi. Sorry for bringing this topic here, but can anyone help me find more reviews on Hidden Treasures (EP)? So far I only managed to find the Chicago Tribune. Thanks in advance.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 00:03, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Album reviews

Am I correct in thinking that ten reviews is the upper limit for albums? Please could someone look at the new Arcade Fire album Reflektor, as the reception section is bloating up to 15 or 16 reviews. I'm not sure which ones to "cull". Thanks. Lugnuts 08:18, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

I'll say Tiny Mix Tapes because as far as I know it is rarely used in other album articles. Another cut might be Q magazine since there is no available link to the review.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 10:18, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

GA reviewers needed

The Good Article project has a bit of a backlog in popular music; out of the five oldest nominations on the project right now, for example, all five are popular music-related. Unfortunately, this is an area where WP:GAN always gets more editors interested in nominating than in reviewing. Would anyone be willing to review an article or two to help reduce the wait? It doesn't take long, helps out other editors, and is a fun way to learn about some off-beat material. Cheers and thanks, -- Khazar2 (talk) 19:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

I'll step in.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 23:15, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Anybody else who could pitch in, too, your help would be greatly appreciated. -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:49, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Adding guidance to Infobox album regarding English language

HairyWombat points out this has been discussed three times previously, but there is yet another discussion about when to use the language parameter in Template:Infobox album, especially with regard to English language. Please feel free to comment at Template talk:Infobox album#Language parameter for English-only albums?

The discussion has progressed quickly and is now about whether the following recently added guidance wording is too strong:

• Do not use this field for albums entirely in the English language, by English-speaking artists.
