Chart edit

  Resolved

According to Lady Gaga discography, this song peaked at number 180 in the United Kingdom. However, I am unable to access the source used to verify this claim. Is someone else able to confirm and add appropriate sourcing (possibly even copied over from the discography article)? ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:56, 8 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

@IndianBio and SNUGGUMS: Did either of you add this source to the discography? ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:57, 8 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Official Charts Company (at the time of this post) doesn't mention that at all, so I'm removing it for now. Feel free to add back if it charts. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:39, 8 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Scratch that: I just noticed now that it was attributed to Music Week, and I don't have access to that either. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:40, 8 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict) Ah, ok. I don't feel like rummaging through the discography's history to see who added the chart position, but hopefully we aren't removing accurate (but unverifiable) information from Wikipedia. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:41, 8 February 2017 (UTC) OK, then, let's see if anyone else has access. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:41, 8 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
I had added it since I have access to Music Week subscription from here. The article gives all the Joanne songs that charted beyond the top 100 of the UK Singles Chart. Relevant paragraph is "Seven other songs from the album are in the Top 200, including Million Reasons, which peaked at No.48 as an instant grat. track, and now rallies 102-85 (6,565 sales) and first single Perfect Illusion, a No.12 hit in September, that now climbs 106-95 (6,087 sales). The rest: Angel Down (No.152, 3,838 sales), Joanne (No.154, 3,789 sales), Diamond Heart (No.155, 3,753 sales), John Wayne (No.180, 3,481 sales) and Dancin' In Circles (No.186, 3,382 sales). They bring the number of Gaga entries to the Top 200 to 43 in a career that stretches back to 2009." —IB [ Poke ] 05:39, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for confirming, IB! Marking this section as resolved. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

2016–17 edit

  Resolved

Should the chart table say "(2016–17)" is there's only one peak position displayed? ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:54, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

This has been changed to "2016". Thanks, IB! ---Another Believer (Talk) 05:20, 10 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Genre edit

  Resolved

What is the correct genre (or genres) of the song? There seems to be a debate between pop rock, dance-rock and country rock. Israell (talk) 07:02, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

It needs to be established through the reviews. Anything which is elements of, influences, poppy/dancey/rocky etc is not acceptable. A critic needs to say 'it is a X song'/'A X song' etc. The critic has to explicitly say which genre it is, not allude to which genre it is.  — Calvin999 17:50, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Should the "Country rock" genre and category be removed? I don't really see this genre mention in the article's prose. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:54, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
I removed it per the suggestion. Carbrera (talk) 00:06, 1 March 2017 (UTC).Reply
I'm adding pop roc instead. The quote says its a "country-tinged" pop rock song. —IB [ Poke ] 04:30, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
OK, thanks. I added the inline citation to the infobox, too. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:45, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Copy edit edit

Just an FYI, I submitted a request for this article to be reviewed by a member of the Guild of Copy Editors, not because I see any major problems, but because I do this any time I nominate an article for Good status. I did not nominate this article, but I think having a copy edit review is always a good thing. Thanks again to IB for expanding this article -- well done! ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:21, 28 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Done The review has been completed. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:31, 16 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
