Yesterday (song)[edit]

Was nominated about two weeks ago (see Archived nominations), but I'm renominating it based on two facts. Firstly, nobody ever responded to my request to review the article again after I rewrote it to fix much of my bad grammar. Secondly, it has already passed through Peer review; of the three who commented on it, they unanimously agreed it should be renominated. It's probably weird renominating such a recent failure, but I think these are slightly out of the ordinary circumstances. This article's rather content-rich for an article about a song, so it'd be pretty nice to feature it (not feature as in the front page). Self-nomination, btw.

  • Nice! Support. --mav 06:29, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Is there a way to include the sound samples in Wikipedia, rather than via an outside link? Otherwise, support. Jeronimo 10:40, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Not unless somebody knows of an easy way to convert the sample's format into Ogg Vorbis. Johnleemk | Talk 13:12, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
      • Easily done with Audacity. See Wikipedia:Sound (rewritten from scratch by me about 2 weeks ago) →Raul654 23:15, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
        • We probably should not convert the sample, but find or make a new one. As they say here "converting from one lossy format, like MP3, to another lossy format, like Vorbis, is generally a bad idea." Dan Gardner 04:28, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
          • Since it's just a sample, we don't have to care too much about sound quality. [[User:Sverdrup|Sverdrup❞]] 09:33, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
          • Thanks for the head's up, Raul. I've added the sample to the article – can somebody please see if I did it correctly? Johnleemk | Talk 12:13, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Support... and I hope Something gets up here soon too. Lyellin 09:38, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
  • Neutral. Should we really be releasing song lyrics under the GFDL? anthony (see warning) 14:09, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
