Talk:Hideaway (Kiesza song)

Writer Name edit

The Writer Name should be "Kiesza" by itself, unless we're asserting this is exactly how she's officially credited as composer, as opposed to singer. The body should also state who wrote the song (in a manner consistent with the infobox). AllMusic credits the composer as "Kaisa Ellestad"[1]. I see nowhere reliable where she is credited as "Kiesza Rae Ellestad" (with the "z"). Her full name doesn't have a "z". So, we're oddly using a spelling of a name that's not even mentioned in the main article. I think just using "Kiesza" alone everywhere, is best, and reflects the bulk of sources. --Rob (talk) 17:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

To tell you the truth, I am getting fed up of seeing her name being spelt 'Kaisa' because it's just plain wrong. Looking through the history I notice that Djunbalanced was the one who added it with this edit. I have no preference whether Kiesza or Kiesa Rae Ellestad is used, so long as it is the same one throughout.--Launchballer 20:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Promotional material edit

This was to promotional. It uses universal.ca, which is not a reliable source in general, especially not for one of its own artists. Unrelated, there was a tag "UKDance" that wasn't defined, causing an syntax error that I removed. Please feel free to put it back, with the appropriate definition. I removed these two specific items, but have left most of the rest, which I still think is to promotional. --Rob (talk) 14:34, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

To be honest, I think the rest of that paragraph can be used as a source for that one sentence. And I don't see how listing a bunch of critical opinions counts as promotional.--Launchballer 15:22, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
I don't see how it's promotional either as it serves as a source for the fact that the song has received acclaim from music critics and that it is the fastest-selling debut single in the UK this year - both of which aren't promotional nor bias. —CoolMarc 17:22, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Chart performance edit

Can we please combine these two sections. It doesn't make sense to have two sections with the same name, in a different location in the article. --Rob (talk) 01:23, 29 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

I've edited the table section to "Charts", the "Chart performance" will be expanded in time obviously as it charts longer and hopefully in more territories too!  CoolMarc 01:45, 29 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs#Chart performance and charts seems to suggest that the prose and the table should be in a single section named "Chart performance". On a related note, is there somewhere that lists the standard names for sections, and order of sections, in an article like this. I understand there are standards, but haven't found a straightforward guide and what section names to use, and what order. I'm not necessarily saying anything in the article is wrong, I just want to know what the standard is. --Rob (talk) 03:15, 29 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
If you have a look at the majority of Category:GA-class song articles. The standard ordering is "Background-Composition-Critical reception-Chart performance-Music video (sub sections Background, synopsis, reception)-Live performances-Usage in the media-Tracklisting-Credits and personnels-Charts (sub sections Weekly charts, Year-End charts, Certifications)-Release history-See also. There are exceptions of course that have sections about Release or Remixes in detail, and other ocassions where there are Controversies surrounding a lawsuit for example. If you have a look at some of the recent Category:FA-class song articles you will also notice the standardisation like in "S&M (song)", "Diamonds (Rihanna song)", "Rehab (Rihanna song)" etc. Hope this helps! —CoolMarc 06:20, 29 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Canada edit

The citation for charting in Canada doesn't work. I haven't found anywhere that says she charted in Canada. --Rob (talk) 14:03, 8 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I'm confused as to why it was added back[2], despite the citation still not working. says "update Canada", which is false, since I had removed Canada from the table. You're not updating Canada, you're adding it back, with no functioning source. --Rob (talk) 05:35, 15 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Co-written edit

Could someone quote a source saying Kiesza and Afuni co-wrote the song. Also, we're not clear if we're saying they co-wrote the lyrics. I see nothing that explicitly says that. We have sources saying Afuni made the sound, but nothing to say he helped write the lyrics, as far as I can tell. The sources clearly say that they worked together in doing everything, but that's not quite they same as saying the lyrics were co-written by the two. To me, co-write, implies they both came up with lyrics. --Rob (talk) 04:41, 24 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Inspired Music Videos edit

This song and its music video seems to have inspired an abnormally large number of copies or parodies (dance videos). Can anyone find a source on that?? Bod (talk) 09:36, 5 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
