Talk:2002 in music

Format
I dislike the "&lt;- xxxx in music | ( yyyy ) | zzzz in music -&gt;". It looks awful. Would this be better as "''See also: xxxx in music, yyyy in general, zzz in music."? -- SGBailey 17:44 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)

Is there an arrow character? That would be the ticket. But yeah, the <- is hardly aesthetically pleasing.- Tubby

There are &larr and &rarr. -- Zoe

In mathematics articles we often use -> (edit the page to see how this is done). <- and -> look better than <- and -> on all browsers I've tried, and unlike &larr; and &rarr; they do actually work on all browsers. --Zundark 20:46 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)

I've tried the &lt;tt&gt; on 2002 (only) and it looks better but not good. The entire line looks too geeky. I really do prefer a textual approach such as my original suggestion, however I'm not (too) fussy about the details. I don't like the arrows, the pipes or the parentheses. -- SGBailey 22:54 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)

Votes for 'years in music' event
(I note that as of 2002-12-30, neither the two events listed in "years in music" is in 2002 itself! -- SGBailey)


 * Nothing stands out to me, I abstain -- SGBailey


 * In the abscence of a better choice (or maybe I'm not suppressing my biases as well as I think I am...), The Rolling Stones' Forty Licks. nknight 14:04 Jan 1, 2003 (UTC)


 * Yoshimi gets my vote. - Tubby

Small question
Hey, is that list of top selling 10 albums actually accurate? Looks very fishy to me.... --

Yeah, we should put a source on that. - Tubby


 * Changed it to that from a citable source that also looked like it probably had sane data, namely http://www.soundspike.com/story/724. -- nknight 00:29 Jan 9, 2003 (UTC)


 * Here's the list that WAS on the page:
 * KoЯn - Untouchables
 * Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf
 * Sum 41 - Does This Look Infected?
 * Beck - Sea Chage
 * Crazy Town - Darkhorse
 * System of a Down - Steal This Album
 * Audioslave - Audioslave
 * Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way
 * Soundtrack - 8 Mile
 * Various Artists - Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 11

The top selling albums needs to state a geographic area. Is this the USA or the world? -- Hotlorp

I think that was Billboard, so it's USA. You can specify it if you want, I'm just not sure I see the need unless somebody can point us at reliable data for sales outside the U.S. --nknight 03:38 Jan 13, 2003 (UTC)

The name of Shaam
The name 'Shaam' (شَـام) would originally refer to the Syrian region,  so the actor's page was renamed to Shaam (actor). Leo1pard (talk) 11:51, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
