Question re: Revert relating to Tidal

edit

User:Hayman30: In this case, since Apeshit was originally released on Tidal, this reference to the personnel on the song comes from a primary source. This is not a case of not using Tidal as a citation; it is the medium of delivery for the content itself and therefore I assert should not be reverted. I beg to differ with your POV on this one. I'd appreciate your feedback as the info is incorrect and there's no citation for the information provided. sheridanford (talk) 15:12, 27 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@SheridanFord: Sorry but I'm not sure if I understand your comment at all. We just don't format the personnel section like Tidal does. Hayman30 (talk) 15:38, 27 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Hayman30: Jay-Z and Beyoncé are owners of the service yes but they also identify what and who occupy specific creative roles. Given they are the composers of the song/video, the personnel info there is primary source material. The personnel listed currently in the article is not consistent with the Tidal info. Personnel are listed in accordance with their roles (i.e., first composer, second composer, etc.) indicating order of significance. Not sure where the existing info is documented from at all.
In addition, the opening paragraph suggests that Pharrell co-wrote the track. Tidal credits say otherwise. He is credited as producer with co-producer credits separately listed as Beyoncé, Stuart White, and Jay-Z (in that order). There are five composers listed and Pharrell is listed 4th in the list:
Kiari Kendrell Cephus

Beyoncé

S. Carter

Pharrell Williams

Quavious Keyate Marshall
Tidal's details, as the exclusive site of release, in conjunction with YouTube is the definitive source of information unless someone were to cite the publishing details from ASCAP and BMI. I was trying to offer the most accurate info from a primary source = TIDAL. sheridanford (talk) 14:48, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
@SheridanFord: What is all this irrelevant talk about? You're trying follow Tidal's formatting, but that's not the way we do it in Wikipedia. We do not use the format "[Name] – [role]" (i.e. Pharrell – producer), instead we use "[Name] – [duty]" (i.e. Pharrell – production"). WP:SONGS is based on WP:ALBUMSTYLE which explicitly states this. Writing credits also do not belong to the personnel section. Hayman30 (talk) 23:18, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: Moved to Apeshit as proposed. Consensus is that being recent does not preclude a topic from being the primary topic; if the criteria is met, it's the primary topic. (non-admin closure) В²C 23:38, 25 September 2018 (UTC)Reply


Apeshit (song)Apeshit – Currently, apeshit redirects to anger, whose article doesn't mention the vulgar term as slang. Because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, it's probably better for the song to be the primary topic, since the primary use of "apeshhh" is not encyclopedic to begin with. See also the 2005 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ape Shit. Arbor to SJ (talk) 23:37, 17 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
