Talk:Chocolate (Kylie Minogue song)

Lyrics?

I am interested in expanding the article, but wish to question whether or not lyrics are acceptable on Wikipedia. Pointono 20:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Article title

This should be moved to Chocolate (Kylie Minogue song), because there's an article on the Snow Patrol song "Chocolate" at Chocolate (single). Extraordinary Machine 20:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Chocolatemusicvideo.jpg

Image:Chocolatemusicvideo.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 Wikipedia articles 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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:19, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Prose and files

Lead

• "It was written by Johnny Douglas and Karen Poole and produced by the former" → It was written by Johnny Douglas and its producer Karen Poole.
• ""Chocolate" is a ballad which describes Minogue's obsession with love using a chocolate simile" → "Chocolate" is a ballad which uses a chocolate simile to describe Minogue's obsession with love" (otherwise it is ambiguous)
• I wouldn't use "old-fashioned" here. Perhaps "dated"?
• "Elsewhere" is redundant
• "An accompanying" → A (if it's a music video for "Chocolate", it's automatically an accompanying video)
• "was presented as a tribute to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals" (is the video actually structured as a tribute to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals? I think it would be more clear if you changed that part to "was written/conceptualised/envisioned as a tribute (...)"
• "Minogue performing a dance routine choreographed by Michael Rooney with numerous backup dancers in a hall" → "Minogue and numerous backup dancers, in a hall, performing a dance routine choreographed by Michael Rooney"
• Could you try and substitute some mentions of "Chocolate" in the lead with "The song"/"It"? The use of the song title is repetitive.
• "Additionally" is unnecessary

Background and composition

• "The duo wrote "Chocolate" together" (together is redundant)

Removing "together" makes the sentence - "The duo wrote "Chocolate", while Douglas also handled the production of the song," which sounds very odd to me. "Together" helps emphasising that Poole was only involved with the writing process.

• "personal favourites" → "favourites" (personal is redundant)
• Chart sites are not reliable for track listings. Could you use Cite AV media notes or another website?
• About.com is not reliable and is listed as a source to avoid on WP:ALBUM/REVSIT. You'll need to remove all the mention of quiet storm.
• The sample size and quality are up to code, however you should change "32 seconds" to "30" on its file page, as that info is wrong.
• The Spin ref shouldn't be in the middle of a sentence, especially if there isn't a comma/semi-colon before it. Place it on the end of the sentence.

Critical reception

• Remove the About.com review
• Remove the wikilink to PopMatters (as per WP:OVERLINK). The same goes for Spin and The Guardian.

Music video

• "Aspinall felt that Minogue "absolutely looked the part" and found this to be the result of her relationship with then-boyfriend Olivier Martinez, a French actor" how so?

Live performances

• IMDb is not reliable.

Track listing

• Reminder: chart sites shouldn't be used for track listing

Yeah... I can't find anything else wrong with this article. Keep up the good work. pedro | talk 11:41, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
