Talk:Hits (Phil Collins album)

Release year in chronology
The release year of this album in the chronology section on the right side appears incorrect and I don't know how to edit this. It should be 1998. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.13.43.186 (talk) 22:21, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

iTunes "Partial Album"
Track #10, "Both Sides of the Story", does not appear on the iTunes version of the album, which I assume is why the album is only sold per-track (i.e. you cannot buy the whole album). I don't know why that track isn't included, or why the remaining tracks can't be bought as one album. If anyone has some insight, I'd appreciate it. Evanturner 07:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Apparently, that song isn't on the iTunes version of his album "Both Sides", either. Evanturner 07:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Philhits.jpg
Image:Philhits.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was no consensus to support move. JPG-GR (talk) 19:34, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

This album is called …Hits. Not sure if there's any technical reason why that can't be used for the article title? Spandrawn (talk)


 * Perhaps not, but Wikipedia policy is to use common names rather than official names (although of course the two are often the same). The preferred name is not automatically the one that the artist gave it, particularly in the case of affected or unusual punctuation such as this. See particularly Naming conventions.


 * To justify the move, we'd at least need evidence that the common name also includes the ellipsis, and even then the current policy could be interpretted as discouraging using it in the article name. Andrewa (talk) 20:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The album cover &c. do use the ellipsis but it's not the way it's commonly referred to (see Allmusic review and Phil Collins's official site linked from the article) and an initial ellipsis does not jive with naming conventions. —   AjaxSmack   14:01, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I believe this amounts to little more than "stylized typography", for which there are plenty of references in the style guides and naming rules to say that we don't generally endorse it. 217.36.107.9 (talk) 09:18, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Another Day in Paradise playing time
Both on the Wikipedia-page and on the album cover it says: Another Day in Paradise" (Phil Collins) – 6:20 but my cd player says 5.22, and I've no reason to believe it's wrong. Is it a typo on the album cover? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.211.50.17 (talk) 10:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I am wondering the same. Must be a typo, no? --Alexander (talk) 04:27, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Hits (Phil Collins album) → ...Hits —
