Talk:Hard (song)

Word "released" in the article text
Some will protest the use of the word "released" in the article text as the song is NOT shown to be available independently as a 'single' as claimed by the infobox used. It is ONLY available as an ALBUM TRACK, yes? Radio is not sales.—Iknow23 (talk) 00:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Template:Infobox single just refers to "earliest known date" not to whether it is via sales or airplay. Candyo32 (talk) 00:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That should be revised as "earliest known date" could be even before sales or airplay! Does anyone really want that? It would truly be the date written (if known). Next in line would be the date recorded, then date of final mix (first known mix that is, prior to all the remixes common today), etc. "Release date" historically (at least) always meant available for purchase. Since this uses infobox single, I think it should mean available for purchase as a single.—Iknow23 (talk) 01:22, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * See Release (music). I do acknowledge that THAT article is not well developed.—Iknow23 (talk) 01:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well if the album track case would be used this, then why wouldn't the label/artist give every track on the album a date to go for adds? That is why they are solicited for a reason as the next singles. Candyo32 (talk) 01:30, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, Radio is promotion or 'solicited' as you say, so the label at least intends for it to be a 'single'.—Iknow23 (talk) 01:43, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I just always hope that these cases will have a physical release (CD and/or other) somewhere or separate from Album date digital release date somewhere. —Iknow23 (talk) 01:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

About Infobox
Isnt a release date to be kept for the song as the other songs. And is it important to mention the month and place of recording because all the other singles do not have it mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.176.32.29 (talk) 14:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

edit
in the release history section, add that "Hard:The Remixes" was released as a Digital Download on January 19, 2010.Source.


 * ✅ Not sure it really belonged in the release section, however I did add the information to the article. Avic enna sis @ 07:36, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Musicnotes URL
Calvin, why can't this URL be included. It is not obvious in the link you gave at the FAC. Graham. Graham Colm (talk) 23:30, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * "Thanks to everyone for weighing in. So, deriving a tentative conclusion from the above input, if we cite musicnotes.com –


 * the link to the paysite/software download page should go, and the sheet music should be cited like treeware, without a link
 * whenever we use the sheet music as a source for a song's tempo, expressed as x beats per minute, or for descriptions of any other musical details, we need to indicate in the text that we are citing Alfred Music Publishing's sheet music published by whoever the publisher of the sheet music is in the specific case, and not a source describing the actual song as recorded and released." Says "without a link". Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk  23:40, 9 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks Calvin, a bad decision IMHO – but this is a discussion for elsewhere. There are loads of medical reliable sources that need subscriptions. Graham. Graham Colm (talk) 23:52, 9 November 2011 (UTC) PS. what is treeware ;-)
 * What? I don't understand what you mean by medical reliable sources that need subscriptions? Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk  23:56, 9 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Not for this article! I was referring to WP:MEDRS, where it says "A Wikipedia article should cite the best and most reliable sources regardless of whether they require a fee or a subscription." That's all. Graham Colm (talk) 00:23, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't even know what it means lol. Calvin  &bull; Talk That Talk  00:24, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
