This subpage details the standards for articles covering the subject of "music". | |||
There is | == Summary == | ||
There needs to be an introduction in the article. What should be covered in the article is the title of the music, the length and a general overview of the production of the music (i.e. composition, production, instruments). Also, where available, do include a list of appearances in a form of a paragraph after the introduction. | |||
== Clarification on songs and music == | |||
'''Note:''' a song is defined as ''metrical composition intended or adapted for singing, especially one in rhymed stanzas; a lyric; a ballad'' where as music is defined as ''pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.'' | |||
Thus, a song is when a lyric is present (Example: Breaking Benjamin's Blow Me Away used in Halo 2) whereas music is when only the melody is heard (Example: Chopin's "Preludes #15, Raindrop" used in Believe campaign). | |||
== Embedding videos and linking videos == | |||
In the past, it was considered proper to provide an embedded Youtube video in the article. This no longer seems to be the case as these Youtube videos are removed/became unavailable due to copyright takedowns. As such, it is no longer necessary for editors to include an embedded video in articles. Similar applies to video links. | |||
