Talk:King of Pop (album)

GENRE
i would say this have hip-hop in it  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjlouisdbz14 (talk • contribs) 19:24, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Style
I corrected the formatting on one of the releases, Seen here. The same needs to be done with the others. We don't need the song length, duet details, version or statues as old/new material. All song should also has "...." on either end. — Realist  2  00:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It is an interesting piece of information for fans and collectors, especially when there are previously unreleased songs / versions. --LiterallySimon (talk) 11:44, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Readers can follow the source if they want the finer details. — R  2  13:27, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The sources/sleeves aren't always correct or don't give information about the version. Example: Is It Scary (Radio Edit) which in fact is not on the CD; Carousel also exists in a shorter version --LiterallySimon (talk) 17:20, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've noticed extended (and linked) lists of writers and producers being added. I think this is extreme overkill. Not only are all 32 tracklists similar, but it just slows the page down. How about a policy of only including this sort of info on original albums? Since these are all reissues and not new songs, this sort of info can all be found in the original album page, and doesn't need repeating everywhere the songs is issued.

Dutch Release Date
I'm not sure how to do this, but the Dutch release date has been put back to August 29th (see Bol.com). Perhaps someone can update the release dates table. --TomFriend08 (talk) 10:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

It passed. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 18:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Swedish Track Listing
I found an image of the back of the Swedish version that contains the track list. Should the tracks be added? http://www.mjfanclub.net/home/images/stories/music/newreleases/newreleases2008/kop_sweden_back.jpg --TehRandomPerson (talk) 00:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * We need a reliable source for it. There should be the official Swedish King of pop site somewhere. — Realist  2  00:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I've added the tracklist with www.kingofpop.se as the source. - Aphasia83 (talk) 01:58, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanx. — Realist  2  14:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I've recently finished putting together a comparison of setlists for the world tours, see List of Michael Jackson tours, and I'm wondering if it might be more useful to have the same thing on this page? Wikipedia could compare the various international releases, a column for each. Otherwise, this page is quite long, and difficult to use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.84 (talk) 17:17, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Artwork
Has anybody thought about inserting each countries' respective artwork in the article? MaJic (talk) 17:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You would need a really good fair use rational to use images that are nearly identical. — Realist  2  17:55, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Formatting
i think it would be more convenient if the tracklistings were formatted like featured here. - MaJic —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.205.111 (talk) 11:43, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I agree, would you like to do it? I'm not good at all those tables etc. — Realist  2  15:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * i will try. its just a matter of cut and paste, i guess. MaJic (talk) 23:19, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree. This would then be the same as Visionary: The Video Singles, and would avoid the page being too long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.157 (talk) 10:46, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

France
Apparently it was released in France, we need sources for the release date and track list. — Realist  2  01:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. — Realist  2  16:46, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

King of Pop nickname
This article states that "King of Pop" is "a reference to the same nickname Jackson acquired approximately 20 years ago." This is not accurate. Jackson gave the "nickname" to himself and his public relations and record companies then ordered the media (including MTV) to start referring to him as the "King of Pop." Far from being an term of affection bestowed upon him by fans, "King of Pop" was cynically manufactured by Jackson himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.86.120.41 (talk) 03:41, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That's called tabloid crap. Elizabeth Taylor was the first person to use it, it just caught on from there. — R  2  10:54, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes you are right Elizabeth Taylor was the person who gave Jackson the nickname. --ADKIc3mAnX (talk) 08:10, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

1991 EW source
I've added the following as a source:

Any issues with this? 72.244.200.106 (talk) 19:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC).
 * I've moved it to the background section, none of it is really relevant to the lead, but it fits nicely in that section. — Please comment  R  2  21:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism in chronology
Who's the stupid cunt who keeps putting This Is it as the following album? You've done it about ten times now, and been reverted each time. That's just another compilation, and there ere are others between. Quit already.


 * Seriously, what's the point? Stop putting in the crap and leave it as it is. You will be reverted every the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.22 (talk) 23:43, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
