There is a comment in the [[Template:SongDetails|SongDetails]] template, if you view it independently. As for dates in the page, it's probably best to go for the format you describe, I agree. That clears up confusion that a date such as 10-04-2005 might have. --[[User:Agent Lex|Agent Lex]] <small>([[User talk:Agent Lex|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Agent Lex|contribs]])</small> 15:57, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

How should we handle multiple recordings of the same song at a live show on a song's Videos page?  I'd probably lean towards a standard-type format, probably something like this:

* Seattle, WA: 2008-04-26 - [http://youtube.com/watch?v=U0AiFLppWTA video], [http://youtube.com/watch?v=hUblpMVhhD8 video 2]
 +
* Minneapolis, MN: 2008-05-01 - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA8-zxQ9yGs video]

If someone can offer a good reason to only include one video from each show, I think we should decide upon a way to choose which video is provided (most views? highest rating?).  I think I'd just prefer to include all versions, though. - [[User:Justinrussell|Justinrussell]] 00:57, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

Date Consistency

I've been going into the "Trivia" section for each TAW and changing any numeric structure dates into regular nomenclature (12-08-05) into December 8th, 2005. I think this looks best for sentences as opposed to an infobox. Also, can we put a brief comment noting the 4 digit year for release date? Some of them are being entered in the appropriate format, but with a 2 digit year.--MitchO 15:53, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
