Move

This article was moved to include Madonna's name as a disambiguator, but I don't think it is necessary. I moved the content back since there was no discussion to move the article. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 27 February 2015

The following is a closed 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. EdJohnston (talk) 02:25, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ghosttown (Madonna song) → Ghosttown (song) – no other song uses this title with "Ghosttown" as one word – Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:51, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:56, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:SMALLDETAILS. The spelling variation doesn't seem sufficient enough to distinguish itself from other song article titles that include a space in between the words "Ghost" and "Town". Steel1943 (talk) 00:12, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, just now seeing this discussion after moving the content back to "Ghosttown (song)", which is where I think it should live. I moved since there was no discussion to include Madonna as a disambiguator and the redirect was created months ago without dissenting opinion. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:46, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: Either way, the "move" you did was a cut-and-paste move and needs to be fixed appropriately. Steel1943 (talk) 01:15, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was unable to move the article and I thought it was okay to cut and paste as long as you included the diff URL in the edit summary. Apologies if this is not the case. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 06:32, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: I history-merged Ghosttown (song) to Ghosttown (Madonna song) & their talk pages. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:57, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Steel1943. How small a detail is a typographical space? Do we expect every reader to understand the nuance? Just because something can be done, does not make it a good idea to do. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and redirect Ghosttown (song) to Ghost town (disambiguation). As one word or two words, someone looking for this or another song at the proposed title will not immediately know if this is the song they're looking for. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 16:24, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Steel and repoint per Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 00:59, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Steel1943 and repoint per Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars cf WP:SMALLDETAILS. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:55, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, a removal of a space provides no significant disambiguation. Greg Kaye 16:07, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Recording info from booklet

If anyone has got the booklet. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 05:36, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cover

The German CD single has a differnet artwork. The final cover pic has a huge white "Madonna" font on it. Maybe someone can change it here.

Here you can see the final cover: http://madonnadiscography.pl/release/details/9177/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.137.203.66 (talk) 10:23, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UK Physical Singles chart.

Madonna's Ghosttown single peaked at Number 2 on the UK's Physical singles sales chart. Surly that deserves a mention or to be put in the charts section? The same is done for the sub US charts!
