Notes

Anticipating some of the problems that have plagued similar song lists, this list will observe a few different formatting and ordering rules. (These may change down the road, but I ask everyone to try this out for a while before raising automatic objections.)

Inclusion guidelines

  • Times and dates should be more specific than "someday", "night", "early", or "about that time". Just how specific will probably evolve over time (no pun intended) and with increasing participation.
  • Fictitious times (e.g., "The Twelfth of Never") are currently acceptable. (This may change, depending on consensus.)
  • Durations (e.g., "One Week") are currently acceptable. (This may change, depending on consensus.)
  • If a song has multiple time references, list them in each appropriate section, highlighting the reference for that section. (For "January, April, and Me", list "January, April, and Me" under "A" and "January, April, and Me" under "J".)
  • Ambiguous references should, whenever possible, be resolved within the context of the song. For example, "Delta Dawn" clearly refers to a young woman with the name Dawn; therefore, it does not belong in this list.

Formatting

  • The specific time reference(s) should be in bold, using Wiki markup (three apostrophes, ''', on either side of the text). (Example: "Rainy Days And '''Monday'''s. Note the bolding only of the exact time word.)
    • Include as much as possible in a time reference. (Examples: "Summer Night City" instead of "Summer Night City"; "Eight Days A Week", expressing the discrete concept of "more time than exists".)
    • If the time reference contains an apostrophe which is not part of the reference, such as "Yesterday's", do not use standard Wiki markup. Instead, use the HTML markup, <b>content</b>, on either side of the word. Using the Wiki markup will make the apostrophe bold, as well as the actual reference.
    • If the time reference occurs more than once in the title, make only the first occurrence bold (e.g., "Tonight, Tonight"). Keep in mind that the intent is to make it easy to notice the grouping for each time reference.
  • All words in titles should be capitalized (e.g., "Half A Minute"), except where a different style is emphasized for artistic effect. (The justification for this can be found at "" for now.)
  • Capitalization of artist names should match Wikipedia entries, where they exist, but should also try to follow artist intentions (e.g., "SHeDAISY").

Ordering

  • Entries will be sorted by grouping together exact time references, then sorting by the entire title. (A sample sorting: "Manic Monday" – "Monday, Monday" – "Rainy Days And Mondays".)
    • Within each group of identical bold time references, titles should be sorted in alphanumeric order (digits first).
      • Articles (e.g., "a", "an", "the") are not ignored. ("A Month of Sundays" would precede "It's Sunday" in the Sunday group under "S".) This is a major departure from standard English sorting rules, but the significant number of non-English titles occurring in en:Wikipedia song lists makes this rule advisable for sorting and removal of unintended duplicates.
      • Numbers are treated as text strings rather than mathematically. ("42" comes before "7".)
      • Case is ignored. ("van Halen" is the same as "Van Halen".)
      • Spaces always precede numbers and letters. ("Is This" precedes "Isn't It".)
      • Ignore punctuation. ("What's That" comes between "Whatever" and "Whattup".)
      • For different songs with the same titles, repeat these guidelines to sort by artist name.

Links

  • Add Wikipedia links to artist names, but not to song titles unless there is a Wikipedia article specifically for the song.
    • For artist links, check the Wikipedia entry first, since some need to be disambiguated. (For instance, Nirvana should be entered as "[[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]".)
    • Song links, rare as they are, also require special handling since the Wiki markup will interfere with the link. A link for "Come Monday" would be written "[[Come Monday|Come '''Monday''']]".
