List of songs in DJ Hero edit

A change from my normal Guitar Hero soundtrack lists, the soundtrack for DJ Hero is quite different from the other games due to being mixes of two songs. For as much as I could do so, I stuck to the usual pattern the other GH songlists are in, though year of song release has been dropped (as technically, this would require 3 years to each row: song 1 and 2, and the mix year, and this is made difficult due to the number of mixes and remixes of the original songs that are present). Anything to help make this better, if possible, would be appreciated, but otherwise this is complete. Note that there is likely to be future DLC, but the table given is a good indication of how this information will be added when it is announced. MASEM (t) 22:53, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article is miscategorized. It's not a game! It's a list of songs. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 08:37, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fixed; only classified under "Guitar Hero soundtracks" now per other GH lists. --MASEM (t) 14:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wikilink crossfade to Fade (audio engineering)#Crossfading.
  • Fix one of your links to M.I.A.
  • Any reason you're not wikilinking FreeStyleGames in the table? Per WP:LINK, each row in a table should stand on its own.
  • Would it make sense to exclude the The when sorting? For example, "The Edge" would sort under the es.

  • Fixed these all, including adding "The"-less sorting. Thanks. --MASEM (t) 16:30, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Should this apply to artists as well? Also, is it The Black Eyed Peas or simply Black Eyed Peas? I believe the latter.—NMajdan•talk 16:34, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Caught those as well. In game, they are listed as "The Black-Eyed Peas" even though our article here on them is the-less, so I've pipelined along with sorting to avoid the single redirect. Also checked the mix artist column, but this was ok for the-less (on scratch perverts) --MASEM (t) 16:45, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • May seem trivial but you could try to add in a way of saying this is about being a disc jockey (DJ), then use the abbreviation DJ safely...
  • "downloadable content will also feature" - perhaps "future downloadable..."?
  • "arranged across 24 different setlists, arranged " - arranged x 2, not brilliant prose.
  • Last sentence of on-disc soundtrack para is a little, well, verbose?
  • Mix Artist->Mix artist.
  • Which ref says that downloadable content will regularly be available in the future?

The Rambling Man (talk) 18:47, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed all the above. --MASEM (t) 06:35, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comments –

  • Remove extra period at the end of the first sentence in Downloadable content section.
  • "due to the addition effort needed to create the mixes." Typo.
  • "as previous downloadable for games like Guitar Hero allows players on these systems to select what individual tracks to purchase." Feels like a word is missing after "downloadable". Giants2008 (27 and counting) 01:41, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
All fixed. --MASEM (t) 01:48, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comments Support
  • "DJ vs Guitar" → DJ vs Guitar (twice)
  • more-difficult → more difficult or harder

Good job! Reywas92Talk 02:39, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Both fixed. --MASEM (t) 03:25, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Mm40 (talk)
  • "Crossfader" should link to Fade (audio engineering)#Crossfading and the second "crossfade" should be unlinked; the current link is to a band
  • "single song, mixed with itself." I think you can remove the comma
  • "game supports additional content through downloadable content from the" unfortunate repetition of "content"
  • "individual songs have been incorporated into" "have been" makes it sound like the process is still on-going.
  • "most mixes of the game were created" I think "of the game" is redundant
  • "To access latter tiers" should that be "later"?
  • "one of the "most adventurous" sountracks" out of what? The GH series? Music games in general? Also a typo: "sountracks".

All these issues are relatively minor; I'll support when they are resolved. Mm40 (talk) 23:07, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All fixed. --MASEM (t) 07:29, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support once the typo on the downloadable section for the song DARE by The Gorillaz is fixed or explained because FreeStyleGames is listed twice. GroundZ3R0 002 (talk) 01:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
