Why is When We Were Young not an article yet? Too slow, Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.154.147.214 (talk) 20:44, 20 November 2015 (UTC) Another day later and still no article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.184.160 (talk) 03:30, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update: There is now an article for the song. It has not been confirmed as a single but has charted in many countries. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced the image of Madonna with one of Greg Kurstin, who actually worked on the album, but my edit was reverted. Can we discuss who would be more appropriate to illustrate, or find a way to include both? It makes more sense to picture people who worked on the album, not those who inspired the album. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:54, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I re-added an image of Kurstin, then staggered the Madonna image to display below. Works for me, unless others still want to discuss which is more appropriate if two is too many. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:57, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My edit summary says it. If Greg Kurstin then why not the others? —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 23:57, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why not who others? I'd be fine with including additional images of people who worked on the album. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If we get ratings from Rolling Stone, Spin, and AllMusic, then PopMatters, Paste, and Slant Magazine get removed, do you all agree? Please, lets come up with some consensus what ratings are taken.The Cross Bearer (talk) 08:38, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On top of breaking the NSYNC record for most album sales in one week, the page should mention that she also broke the Britney Spears record of highest first week sales by a female artist (Spears held the record with Oops I Did It Again in 2000). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.59.106.25 (talk) 19:08, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently he is more relevant than you. Why do you ask such non-sense questions? Read the caption under picture and you will see why his picture is here! — Tom^(T2ME) 11:28, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

25's 2x platinum certification in Germany is still missing source. Please be quicker when it comes to adding facts or make the site public for edits again! Thanks... --213.157.11.157 (talk) 13:16, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reading this article, you'd think most of the album was written in the US. In an interview with Shad, and talking about the writing process, Adele said 'I'd done the whole record in England, pretty much'. Can we somehow get this into the page so it reflects what actually happened, ie the vast majority was written in the UK?

"Adele breaks UK record for biggest second week album sales" http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/adele-breaks-uk-record-for-biggest-second-week-album-sales/063579 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.198.251.109 (talk) 19:33, 4 December 2015 (UTC) According to this source http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6785931/adele-25-second-week-sales-us The final sales figures are in for the second week of Adele’s 25. Nielsen Music reports that it sold 1.11 million in pure album sales in the seven days ending Dec. 3 in the U.S. As earlier reported, 25 is now the first album to sell a million copies in two different weeks since Nielsen began tracking point-of-sale purchases in 1991. , so we need to change US'figure to 4,490,000 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.87.216.31 (talk) 02:37, 6 December 2015 (UTC) [reply]

Ref #179:

British album certifications – Adele – 25". British Phonographic Industry. Retrieved 4 December 2015. Enter 25 in the field Keywords. Select Title in the field Search by. Select album in the field By Format. Select Platinum in the field By Award. Click Search

I go to http://www.bpi.co.uk/certified-awards/search.aspx and tried the instruction above. It's said "Please use standard letters and characters only. You must supply at least 3 characters in your search". How am I supposed to find the record of 25?--fireattack (talk) 05:55, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that it is acceptable to use the sample of an album track. I have added lots of composition details, reception details, etc. The sample should not be removed without further discussion here. --MaranoFan (talk) 11:33, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is unacceptable since we should limit ourselves to usage of non-free content. Please familiarize yourself with WP:NFCC and not go overboard. You have already added samples for "Hello" and "WWWY" and thats enough to understand nuances about the songs on this album. You don't need a third sample. I'm also inviting J Milburn for this discussion. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 11:54, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can I make a suggestion? First of all, yes, I agree with IndianBio, having three samples in the article it's too much and fails the criteria. However, I read the caption for "Remedy" sample and it's pretty rational. I would suggest removing the "Hello" sample since it's not really helpful in the 25 article and it is also present in its own article. That's the best option according to me. — Tom^(T2ME) 13:21, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
