Crowded House 'Woodface' release date
Hi, I altered your recent edits on the on the page for Crowded House's Woodface album, as the information you added was not correct. I have added supporting citations for the changes to the release date I made. I see you edit numerous Crowded House release pages. While I'm only a casual fan of the group, I'm somewhat pedantic when it comes to having 'correct' release dates on wikipedia pages, and have a strong interest in music charts from the 1980s and 1990s. I would not consider australian-charts.com, and the similar Hung Medien-published chart sites, to be a reliable source for release dates for pre-2000 releases, generally speaking. While some of the release dates listed there (which are just added by users adding those releases to the database - i.e. anyone can add dates there) are correct, I have seen many "release" dates there listed as being the same date the single or album entered the chart, which is not possible. If you're after specific UK/Australian release dates for other Crowded House releases, I'm happy to help out, when I get time/the inclination. If in doubt, you're best to go by subtracting approximately two weeks from the chart entry date in the UK or Australia, and even then, I'd only put the month if you don't know the precise date. However, as australian-charts.com only lists top 50 data, if an album debuted on the chart outside the top 50, this will not give an accurate release date.Nqr9 (talk) 12:33, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Nqr9, Great to see someone interested in getting the details right. My relationship with Crowded house started at the end of the 1980 and lasted till they disbanded in the mid-90s. I have a collection of singles related to their 5-6 first albums that i have used as source for doing the edits you comment on, but contrary to a lot of info stated on various wiki-pages I have actually listen and compared across singles/sites trying to get all details as correct as possible. The official releases are not necessarily that accurate on details. When it comes to the release date of Woodface, I editied to the earliest date I found online. There are numerous dates available online; 2th and 5th of July are quoted several places. Before my edit, 2nd of July was the date on wikipedia, but if you are confident 1st is the correct date I'm not going to argue it. I just want the info to be as correct as possible. if australian-charts.com is reliable or not? i don't know, they have 21/7 as the chart entry date and 21/6 as release date as I manage to read their page. Maybe that is a typo, maybe i misread the page, or maybe it's right. Regardless, great to see you care. I will adjust info on the last singles I have, but not edited into wikipedia yet. br, Pr2z (talk) 17:47, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
