Disambiguation page for "Inhaler" song vs artist

The wiki music entry for "Inhaler" is specific to the song "inhaler", however there is also an artist named "inhaler" who has been releasing albums since 2002.

Having said, this, the Hooverphonic song "inhaler" is totally awesome! (so is most of "inhaler"s stuff too imo)

"Sixteen Reasons" (song popularized by Connie Stevens) - corrections

The Wikipedia article states:

  a duet with her Hawaiian Eye co-star Edd Byrnes: '"Kookie,
  Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)'", a novelty spoken word number which
  reached #4.[11][16]

I think "Hawaiian Eye" should be changed to "77 Sunset Strip". This is because Edd was not in "Hawaiian Eye" but was in "77 Sunset Strip". Connie was in "Hawaiian Eye" and was occasionally in "77 Sunset Strip".

Also, where it says:

  the label refused to allow Stevens to perform the song on
  Hawaiian Eye and also prevented her from singing it on The Ed
  Sullivan Show.[17]

I suspect "Hawaiian Eye" should probably also be changed to "77 Sunset Strip".

Template:Faust navbox

I have been creating a lot of templates of late. One of my most recent is {{Faust navbox}}. I have been encouraged to invite all the relevant projects to participate in the two discussions going on about this template. Please come participate at Template talk:Faust navbox#Requested move and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Opera#The_most_complicated_template_yet_.28Faust.29.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:39, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

How to write song and single articles?

Is there anywhere a specific manual of style on how songs and singles should be written? Like for the section headers, what terms should be used? Which section should come first before the other?

I already know that the article starts with the lead and then we're supposed to talk about its background and then it's impact but in terms of impact how should that be styled? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcl32791 (talk • contribs) 11:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

If you take a look at MOS:MUSIC, MOS:ALBUM and specially WP:SONGS, you'll see some guidelines on creating such articles. Also, for reference, you may check featured articles on songs, which are considered to be the finest articles in Wikipedia about songs. There is a list of them right here.

Navbox background for solo artists' songs

Forever, the background color for solo singers has been a yellow color for the navboxes created for them. Of course, this typically lists the artists' albums, songs, discography, and other related articles. When the number of articles for songs and/or singles begins to add up for an artist, the navbox is split and a separate template is created (see {{Rod Stewart songs}}, {{Elton John songs}}, {{Mary J. Blige singles}}, {{Chris Brown singles}} to list a few examples). Regardless of how the songs or singles have been split out, they are still use the {{navbox musical artist}} template using "solo_singer" as the background, which makes sense since it is just a split from the main template. For some reason, following the creation or repurposing of such templates as {{Britney Spears songs}} and {{Jennifer Lopez songs}}, some editors don't think the same color scheme should apply (even though they still add the "background=solo_singer" in the generic {{Navbox}} template, which of course won't have any affect on the background color. I think it best to continue using the "navbox musical artist" template for all musical artist templates (with the appropriate background), no matter how they end up being subdivided for a consistent color scheme and based on the precendent set for other music artist navboxes that focus on the artist's singles or songs. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 16:37, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Infobox secondary video versions

Someone removed a secondary version of a video from "ThatPower" with this edit. Was this correct?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:46, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

tbh, the video links should appear in the bottom in an external links section as opposed to in the infobox. It unnecessarily lengthens the infobox to include them there. See Trouble (Leona Lewis song) as an example. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 21:21, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
