Joy to the World
This file accompanies the Joy to the World article. I believe it succeeds in satisfying all the criteria, as it is supported by the article, is of excellent sound quality, adds to the article, has a free license, as a Christmas carol, and illustrates the article, as well as having a good caption and being well performed.--Orthologist 23:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Nominate and support. - Orthologist 23:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Firstly, I am not convinced, copyright-wise. The tune is public domain, but what about the arrangement? Did you improvise it youself? Or did you play it from sheet music? What is the copyright status of that sheet music? Even were there no copyright questions, I would still have to oppose, because he entire recording is clipped (see Clipping (audio)). We can do better. Mak (talk)  00:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Regarding copyrights, Christmas carols and folklore songs are public domain, any way they are played. Secondly, I recorded and played this, so it's my work and I agree to release it in the public domain. If the recording is clipped, however, I will be able to fix that via a computer anti-clipping programme I have access to.--Orthologist 13:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That's simply not true. An original arrangement of a Christmas Carol is copyrighted by the arranger. It being a Christmas Carol is not some sort of magic bullet against copyright concerns. Mak (talk)  15:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Excuse me for presenting factually wrong arguments. I'm from Greece, and I'm used to different laws concerning copyrights. But I arranged this recording, so it is copyright-free. I'm willing to release it in the public domain.--Orthologist 15:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, that's all I was asking. Copyright concern resolved. Mak (talk)  15:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose, for now. I would rather have a recording with words, to get the full "picture". -- Tewy  03:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Makemi's concerns about the audio quality. Moreschi Request a recording? 21:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose I just don't think this recording's sound quality is up to par for a Featured Sound. Zidel333 00:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - it's just too bare! This isn't what I'd call featured quality.  Bill (who is cool!)  18:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
