catalog[edit]

I would much prefer the individual albums listed, rather than artists, as artists wont have exclusive contracts with real world. listing artists on a label article, like authors on a book article, seems promotional to me, unless its truly an exclusive relationship. i have a large collection, and will add some albums.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:30, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Listing albums (which are for sale) isn't any less promotional than listing actual artists (who aren't for sale). The listing of artists is also patterned after the Real World Records website itself, and parallels other Wikipedia articles on other record companies (e.g. Matador Records, Epitaph Records). So this is nothing unusual or untoward. That said, discographies are great, and would certainly enhance the article as well. Middayexpress (talk) 03:05, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, i guess youre right. i do prefer the precision of albums/books. however, as i add titles, should i add catalog numbers? and should they be in alpha order or chronological order? im asking in case you have more experience with this kind of article. And should i use any criteria for addition? its not a gigantic list, i have about 40 i can read off of. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:50, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think catalogue numbers will be necessary, as that perhaps might veer into the promotional territory you mentioned earlier. I've tried to organize the catalogue alphabetically by album title, and I see you've maintained that. Overall, the current format you've selected works quite well, IMO.

Disease[edit]

anyone noticed yet that Dengue Fever links towards the disease article, not the band article? someone knowing what he does should fix this — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.25.187.119 (talk) 09:42, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correction made, thanks. Wire723 (talk) 10:59, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

colour bars of the label's logo[edit]

Do the colour bars of the label's logo mean anything? I.e. do they categorize the releases by sub genre? Fp cassini (talk) 16:15, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered this as well. According to the label's website, "I recall that Peter was debating what names to use for the regions, because the colours represented the different parts of the world, and it wasn’t as simple as the old five continents. It was quite a delight that there were nine regions decided upon, since this corresponded to the nine letters in Real World". According to the inlay of Passion – Sources the regions are Africa, North America, South America, Asia I, Asia II, Oceania, Caribbean, Europe, Indian Subcontinent, presumably in that order - frustratingly the inlay is in black and white. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:17, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
