Talk:Shades of Purple

Please don't make "shades of purple" automatically direct here.

I'm looking for actual shades of purple, like all the other colors have their own shades pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.134.7 (talk) 21:28, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

• Hi again Hawkeye7. Thanks for this review as well. In response to your comments:

1. I'm not sure what you're saying here. Her birth name is Ravn, but she's always been known as Raven in English speaking countries, and accordingly her article on the English wikipedia is Marion Raven.
2. No. I got the article off ProQuest via my University's online library search function. I did note, however, that I made a mistage in the references page number, which I have now fixed. I can email you the reference in PDF format if you like.

Let me know if I need to do anything else. Freikorp (talk) 04:13, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

That should do. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:55, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Covers and other languages

Not sure if covers of songs on this album should be included, but I've recently discovered that 'The Day You Went Away' has been covered by both Cyndi Wang and Orange Caramel. Can't find a reliable source for either yet though. Also Krissy & Ericka covered "Don't Say You Love Me"; there's a reliable source for that at the single's article.

I know M2M recorded a Mandarin version of 'Pretty Boy' and a Spanish version of 'Everything You Do' (they both appear on the 'best of' album [1] though I'm not sure when they were recorded, or if there are reliable sources that they were recorded in preperation/promotion for Shades of Purple.
