Mahler 5th
I'm not sure about including Mahler Symphony 5 in this page, for reasons described under Trivia (but not at all trivial) on that page. Schissel | Sound the Note! 16:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Possibly…the comment Mahler himself made sounds (pardon the POV) weird to me, but for that matter, if he didn't want the symphony to even have a key, c# minor should not be mentioned at all in the symphony's article. &mdash; $PЯINGrαgђ  Always loyal! 17:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Image links
31-May-2007: In 2006/2007, Wikipedia images required both attributes "thumb|250px" to show a caption, as in:

By itself, size "250px" ignores the caption "My picture" (confusing many people), which is considered bad form in computer languages (should warn & be corrected rather than ignore). Just remember to include "thumb" (or "frame") for a caption in an image-link.

Image hints in 2007: Overall, omitting "thumb" is the most common problem.
 * Limit most images to "thumb|300px" to avoid crowded text-wrapping.
 * A small image followed directly by a big image often chops text.
 * To resize larger than the original ("oversizing"), omit "thumb" (oversized images cannot have captions in 2007, yet).
 * Beware "left|thumb" (for "right|"), because left-side images appear immediately to left of the text.
 * Most images (99.99%) should be quick JPEG for rapid display.
 * Avoid resizing PNG images (2007): might become 10x larger resized.

There are many formatting issues in the Wiki software (used worldwide), with a long list of problems to fix, but in the software world, errors often persist, only to be upstaged by a totally radical new software version, rather than just fixing the irritating problems fast. Note that numerous software systems (not just Wiki) have frustrating issues for years. -Wikid77 10:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Modern Talking
Can anyone verify whether You're My Heart, You're My Soul by Modern Talking (which is listed under 'contemporary songs in this key') actually is in C-sharp minor? Most resources floating around the Internet seem to indicate that the song is actualy in C minor, such as here. 83.26.153.102 (talk) 18:47, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Livin' la Vida Loca
That song was sung by Ricky Martin. If anybody knows a real source, list the song on the article page under Notable Songs.Cbsteffen (talk) 00:29, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Who decides which song are notable?
Who decides which songs are notable? What is required for a song to qualify for that list? I mean, if we were allowed to add any song in C-sharp minor by a famous artist to that list, then the list might become incredibly long. ÅttioFem (talk) 12:06, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * At minimum, it has to have an article, which preferably mentions the key, and a source to confirm it. Better, the significance of the key should be shown with reliable independent sources. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:45, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree. These lists of examples tend to balloon out with useless information.  They need to be actively managed to keep them contained. Tayste (edits) 20:44, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

List of notable songs
Is it necessary for a list of notable songs to be added to a key page? 73.1.57.180 (talk) 14:50, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
