Is the note, "Coincidentally, West had been mentioned in "Life Is Simple in the Moonlight", the closing track on the band's 2011 release, Angles", really necessary? ---Another Believer(Talk) 18:45, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I find it unnecessary as a note. I've included it in the prose along with a source for it, though whether or not it's warranted in the article at all is another, separate matter. Aria1561 (talk) 05:23, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, it has nothing to do with the album. EGorodetsky (talk) 20:03, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please see the Album Ratings for previous Strokes releases. They're mostly limited to 10 sources, all major publications. Please refrain from adding minor blogs.EGorodetsky (talk) 19:59, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reviews are discussing the inadvertent timeliness of the album's title with Coronavirus. Do you think it's worth including? Don't think it fits in with the reviews section, but could go somewhere...EGorodetsky (talk) 20:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It would belong in a Packaging section, regarding both the album title and cover art. I'd certainly say it's worth adding. Aria1561 (talk) 04:13, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@EGorodetsky: Heya, just wanted to let you know that I've added a Packaging section with some information on the correlation between the album title and the COVID–19 pandemic. If you've had any additional sources discussing that correlation ready to be added, feel free to add them if you'd like. Aria1561 (talk) 02:51, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
