Why

edit

why are peak positions bolded?--SveroH (talk) 11:51, 23 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Rank; Single sales/Digital Song sales

edit

To User:Xwomanizerx, I checked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs and there has been agreement that the Yahoo music blogger in question neither has the personal credentials to serve as reliable himself, does not present his own sources, and does not make the specific claims that you are inferring, that this is a ranking of the top 20. Clearly the song was a huge success, and it may well be that it was as you claim, the fifth-best selling single of the decade, but particularly if so, then there would surely be some other source for that data point. Apparently it has not been certified Gold by the RIAA, which I find surprising given it was #1, but that fact seems to make it less likely it would have exceeded 5 million, and certainly not as a single.

Categories

edit

There are three redlink categories that are confusing: Singlechart usages for Frenchdigital | Singlechart usages for Hungary | Singlechart usages for Swiss. Are these for real and how did they appear as categories. Shouldn't they be removed? werldwayd (talk) 03:30, 19 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Canada Version?

edit

There are 2 versions of the music video on Vevo: the director's cut and a Canadian version of the director's cut. From what I see, they are identical. Can someone try to spot a difference and mention it in the article? — /an.dre.jiˈʃor//tɔːk/ 00:52, 19 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Certification

edit

In the chart performance section, it states the song has reached 3.1 million legal downloads, yet on the RIAA website, the single isn't even certified Gold. I find it very doubtful that the single didn't even reach Gold status, so why isn't it on the website? & under the certifications section on this article, the song has nothing listed for the US. Can somebody find a way to deal with this?

Womanizer (song)Womanizer – No need for brackets - you can add a hatnote to the wiktionary or something - similar to LMFAO. Unreal7 (talk) 13:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Zzyzx11, WP:OSE is a bad argument at AfD but generally a pretty good one at RM, since article titles should be approached consistently. --BDD (talk) 17:43, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Not when one scenario possibly deals with disambiguation, determining a primary topic, and a {{Redirect to section}}, where the other two cases do not. As I mentioned, "womanizer"/"womanizing" currently have encyclopedic content to warrant such DAB/primary topic considerations, while "LMFAO" or "Nevermind" do not. You cannot apply the same consistent criteria if one term requires disambiguation while the others do not. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:32, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
And the comparison between the notable subject womanizing and internet slang "LMFAO = Laughing my fucking ass (arse) off" fails because womanizing is an encyclopedic subject whereas "LMFAO (Laughing my fucking ass (arse) off"), isn't. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:16, 26 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Release date

edit

Britney Spears said in her booklet that comes with the CD for "The Singles Collection" that "Womanizer" debuted on October 18, 2008. http://www.rnbjunk.com/foto/2009/11/10-500x375.jpg DatBoy101 (talk) 03:00, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Zomba

edit

Does it really make sense to list the Zomba Group of Companies as a label for this album? Zomba had been the mother company of Jive, however, in 2007 all Zomba labels were integrated into the BMG Label Group and formed its constituent Jive Label Group, while the Zomba brand ceased to exist. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 18:18, 6 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: consensus not to move the song to the plain title, per the discussion below. Additionally, no consensus to move the page to any other title at this time, and no consensus in this discussion to move the disambiguation page at Womanizer to make way for a primary topic redirect. If it is necessary to continue discussing the disambiguation page, please initiate a new move request. Dekimasuよ! 21:01, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply



Womanizer (song)Womanizer – There is no other article called "Womanizer" as seen in the DAB page. But should this move request end against my favour, the term "womanizer" should redirect to "Promiscuity". This is because the DAB page has only two links: this song and the article Promiscuity. The DAB page shouldn't even exist per WP:TWODABS. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:06, 26 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Very well, I'll withdraw this move request, but "Womanizer" must redirect to promiscuity per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Someone please delete the DAB page since none of the other terms there have articles, and a hatnote can be added to "promiscuity" article saying "{{redirect|Womanizer|the Britney Spears song|Womanizer (song)}}". --Kailash29792 (talk) 03:16, 27 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Kailash29792: please re-read WP:DISAMBIGUATION and WP:DABMENTION. No one is going to be deleting any dab page. 07:35, 27 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
That's what I'm saying now. Let this move request be closed, let "Womanizer" redirect to "Promiscuity", and retitle the DAB page to "Womanizer (disambiguation)". Kailash29792 (talk) 14:08, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
