Talk:Capital Cities (band)

Comments

Why is their history marked as disputed? There is no discussion in the Talk page. That sounds like the dispute is resolved by default then.24.126.220.193 (talk) 02:05, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. However I'll boldly do the DAB merge and fix the redirect, we seem to have consensus on that and it requires no admin powers. Andrewa (talk) 01:37, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Capital Cities (band) → Capital Cities – Currently, Capital Cities redirects to Capital Cities Communications, but a cursory examination shows that the band article is the primary topic. Capital Cities (band) has recevied ~146,000 views in the last three months, which the Communications article has just over 4000 views. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 15:44, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose. I'd expect Capital Cities to point to an article like Capital city (Capital cities already redirects there) or List of capitals, not to the present target or the proposed topic. At best it should point to a disambiguation page. 172.9.22.150 (talk) 19:21, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose. The Concise Encyclopedia of American Radio and other sources have the media company Capital Cities as the major print topic, and has more long term WP:PRIMARYTOPIC significance. No objection to dab page with all 3 items listed. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose. I would rather convert this to a dab page. "Capital Cities" seems like a legitimate search term for a list of capitals. Traffic stats to the band article seem like recentism due to recent news spikes about the band. Zzyzx11 (talk) 19:58, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

• 'Oppose per IIO, and disambiguate per Zzyzx11. The disambiguation page should cover all variations of "capital city"/"capital cities"/"capitol cities"/"capitol city". (We currently have two pages, Capitol City and Capital City, I think they should be merged and cover this spelling as well) -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 21:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

• All good points, but I thought the capital "Cities" was enough to disambiguate away from the standard lowercase pages. If not, I'm fine with whatever consensus dictates. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 00:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose. A dab page would work as others have suggested. I like the idea of merging the various iterations (Capitol City, Capital City, et al.) since there aren't that many entries an there is a good deal of overlap. —  AjaxSmack  06:58, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Support AjaxSmack's suggested merger of Capitol City dab into Capital City dab, and redirect Capital Cities to dab. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:27, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

The only real overlap is Capital city for "Capital City" and "Capital Cities". The Simpsons city was both "Capital" and "Capitol", but that was because of a name change; other names that sound similar (petrol/petrel) are separate as expected. Peter James (talk) 22:29, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

• Support dab page. Red Slash 16:47, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose the proposed move; support the proposed dab merger. All variations of Capit[a/o]l Cit[y/ies] are ambiguous to one another. bd2412 T 20:07, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Orphaned references in Capital Cities (band)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Capital Cities (band)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "RIAA":

• From List of music recording certifications: "RIAA – Recording Industry Association of America". Recording Industry Association of America. Retrieved 2008-05-26.
• From Music download: "For Students Doing Reports". RIAA. Retrieved 30 April 2012.
• From Outkast: Gold & Platinum - Searchable Database: Idlewild. Recording Industry Association of America. Retrieved on 2010-05-09.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:27, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

The Birthday

On facebook, I heard that Ryan Merchant's birthday is October 14th. Is that not reliable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.224.26.190 (talk) 17:40, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
