Lack of Apostrophes[edit]

The song titles "Feeling Gravitys Pull" and "Cant Get There From Here" are deliberately written without apostrophes. BGC 00:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. For about the tenth time, please stop adding apostrophes to these song titles. I know it looks funny, but Stipe deliberately composed the songs without apostrophes. Artistic license, folks. Historymike (talk) 03:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removing reviews[edit]

Please do not remove professional reviews that are deemed acceptable by WikiProject Album standards. --Fantailfan 22:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are all the song analyses deemed acceptable, too? alainsane (talk) 05:43, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A Curious Cock-up[edit]

I have just (May 2018) received a copy of the 1992 EMI release (0 777 13160 2 9, cd) and the back paper has been printed so the case ends both read 'R.E.M. / Reconstruction Of The Fables'. A Google search on that wording came back with no results so I thought it may be of passing interest to the community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ikkoku (talk • contribs) 08:13, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CMJ Awards[edit]

So my contribution (about the CMJ Awards) was factually right, relevant to the article and I even provided a link. I only didn't know how to format it, but that would be easy for someone in the know. So why don't the editors keep the valuable information and just reformat it, instead of REMOVING IT ALTOGETHER?? - 2804:14C:5B84:815F:84B4:819B:3B1E:2353 (talk) 19:21, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vimeo is a self-publishing video site: anyone can put anything there. Do you have a source from CMJ or from a reliable third party that mentions this? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:48, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's a video of them receiving the awards and giving a speech! Do you think someone would invent THAT? Why don't people verify the damn thing before deleting? - 186.206.218.53 (talk) 20:25, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think that, no. I didn't verify it because Vimeo is an unreliable source. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:55, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
