YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Misplaced Pages that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Trivia Section?

Shouldn't something like the factoid about Matthew Fournier's punishment be in a trivia section instead of under "Reception?" Dcook32p (talk) 20:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Requested move

The request to rename this article to Because I Got High has been carried out.
If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

– I was mildly ASTONISHed when I put in the base title and got to an article on the album. I would say in most cases of title tracks, the album is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, especially in a WP:TWODABS situation. But there are cases, as with ...Baby One More Time, where the song is better known than the album as a whole. I think this qualifies as well. Just compare the articles and it's fairly clear to see that the song is more notable. Browse "because i got high" -wikipedia and you'll see references to the song predominate.

  • Title both articles clearly - is a generic solution for all these cases: the problem only exists if there's a will to ambiguate. The two covers look pretty much the same on iPhone search results, having both (song) and (album) would make life easier for everyone, particularly Android users (given that the two jpgs are almost identical). The baseline can go to whichever historically got the most results, everybody wins, no downside. Also suddenly flipping a to b between two articles can cause problems with linking.

  • Title both articles clearly per IIO. I, too was astonished to find WP giving primarytopic to albums, after all, in cases like this it is obvious the album is named after the song. --Richhoncho (talk) 15:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
There's a similar case at Burn It! vs Burn It! (song) and how many more. Logically the name of the song usually comes first, rarely will an artist decide an album name, then write a song to fit. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:21, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Support as proposed. The song is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in a WP:TWODABS situation. In addition to its predominance in Google Books returns, the song gets significantly more page views than the album, despite the album being at the base title. Clearly when people type in "Because I Get High", they're looking for the song.--Cúchullain /c 15:11, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Support as proposed per Cúchullain and BDD. We have a clear primary topic here, there are only two articles that "Because I Got High" could refer to and the usage criterion of primary topic clearly favours the song (as shown by Cúchullain's stats) and the encyclopedic value criterion doesn't favour either article.

  • Oppose swapping which title gets to be ambiguous. Per several others above, disambiguate both. Dicklyon (talk) 22:53, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
