Thanks for the article! :) Ovinus (talk) 02:21, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

of course! Mind if I ask a question?

How exactly am I supposed to go about adding album covers to infoboxes again? I know to upload the file to wikimedia commons, and how non-free covers can still be used when there’s no substitute and a valid reason for having them, but when I try to upload a file into an infobox, it asks me to check off a box saying I have the rights to the picture, which obviously in these cases I don’t. However, there’s obviously gotta be a legitimate way to upload album covers into articles since the vast majority of album articles do have them. Am I missing something? Thanks! Elephantranges (talk) 02:24, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. Don't upload non-free images to Wikimedia Commons, as they aren't allowed there; instead, upload them here, on Wikipedia. See

WP:NFCC lists the rules, but an album cover is usually okay. Hope that helps! Ovinus (talk) 02:55, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

@Ovinus: I might have meant Wikipedia, not Wikipedia Commons. Not sure, but I’ll use those links. Thanks! Elephantranges (talk) 03:35, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ovinus: Hey, sorry, one more question.

So I uploaded images for the covers of Ghosts of the Forest,

Lonely Trip, and Mercy, everything went well except when I added them to the infobox, they're a bit too big and I'm not exactly sure how to make them appear smaller in their respective articles. Checked the source for other articles to see what they did differently but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Elephantranges (talk) 04:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

Nevermind, realized I just have to remove the [[ ]] surrounding the file name. Elephantranges (talk) 04:18, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Yes, the template does some internal processing that means the brackets aren't necessary. And no need to apologize for asking questions! Ovinus (talk) 04:20, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have another question about album art images.

So I went through a couple of articles recently and replaced their (very low quality) album art images with some higher resolution ones, using the wizard and doing everything the right way (as far as I can tell).

The new images are showing in the infoboxes, but why is it that when I click on them to zoom in, it then shows the older, lower-quality versions of the images? And is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks Elephantranges (talk) 23:29, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Elephantranges.

We seem to have a difference of opinion on the how to present the recording information on a couple of Neil Young album pages. Several of his albums, particularly in the 70s, were recorded across different years and studios and feature different musicians on each track. I find it helpful to list this information for each song independently. I've adopted a format other users have employed, for example on Neil Young Archives Volume II: 1972–1976. I find this format is clean and easy to read. I would like to find a format that we can both support so that we don't find ourselves overwriting each other's work. What are your thoughts?

Alcuin

I’m all for listing the recording dates and locations of each track. (Especially considering Stars n Bars does the exact same thing on its own lp label!)

I just think that listing the personnel for each song might cause the tracklists to become a bit cluttered, especially considering there’s Personnel sections for that exact purpose.

Elephantranges (talk) 23:13, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alcuin (talk · contribs) thoughts? Elephantranges (talk) 14:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply

I dunno. I really haven't found a format that I'm happy with, other than what I had been doing. Personnel sections seem to be a good fit when the personnel is consistent for the whole album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Album_article_style_advice#Alternative_track_listings track listings seems to give an example similar to what I've been doing.

Alcuin (talk) 22:46, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply

Yeah, I totally get what you mean. I think it's important to note that with the example linked above (Before These Crowded Streets), each song usually has no more than, like, two musicians listed underneath the song titles. The main issue I have is really just that with the entire personnel for each song being listed it kinda screws up the formatting when looking at the mobile site, if you know what I mean.

Personally I think that maybe this might be a good way to format tracklists and lineups, using, say, On the Beach as an example:

{{Track listing

| headline = Side one

| extra_column = Producer(s)

| title1 = Walk On

| extra1 =

• Neil Young
• David Briggs

| length1 = 2:40

| note1 = recorded at Broken Arrow Ranch, November 30, 1973

| title2 = See the Sky About to Rain

| length2 = 5:03

| note2 = recorded at Sunset Sound, March 29, 1974

| extra2 =

• Young
• Mark Harman

| title3 = Revolution Blues

| note3 = recorded at Sunset Sound, April 6, 1974

| extra3 =

• Young
• Harman

| length3 = 4:02

| title4 = For the Turnstiles

| note4 = recorded at Broken Arrow Ranch, December 14, 1973

| extra4 = Young

| length4 = 3:13

| title5 = Vampire Blues

| note5 = recorded at Sunset Sound, April 7, 1974

| length5 = 4:11

| extra5 =

• Young
• Harman

| total_length = 19:09

}}

{{Track listing

| headline = Side two

| extra_column = Producer(s)

| title1 = On the Beach

| note1 = recorded at Sunset Sound, March 28, 1974

| extra1 =

• Young
• Al Schmitt

| length1 = 7:04

| title2 = Motion Pictures (For Carrie)

| note2 = recorded at Sunset Sound, March 26, 1974

| extra2 =

• Young
• Schmitt

| length2 = 4:20

| title3 = Ambulance Blues

| note3 = recorded at Sunset Sound, March 25, 1974

| extra3 =

• Young
• Schmitt

| length3 = 8:57

| total_length = 20:21

}}

==Personnel==

"Walk On"

• Neil Young – guitar, vocals
• Ben Keith – slide guitar, vocals
• Billy Talbot – bass
• Ralph Molina – drums

(and so on and so forth for the rest of the songs...)

Maybe this formatting would be more concise? Idk Elephantranges (talk) 23:09, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Elephant, thanks for your work on the NY articles. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot, so thought I'd post here. I think the Hawks & Doves article still requires more sources, especially as it's still rather short, and stuff isn't subsequently cited in the subsections.
