open What's that r&b song called? Music
What was that song called that was played on Friday February 21 two month ago between 12:40 and 12:55 pm during the Throwback hour at noon that features I think DJ Breeze? It was on the Charleston South Carolina radio station Z93 Jamz, which is 93.3, call letters WWWZ. It was part of a dj song mashup and it goes something like this, "I'm Bout To Find Me; Another Man," I couldn't really tell what the vocals were singing, but I do know that it was female vocals that sounded like either, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Angie Stone, Chante Moore, Kelly Price, Lauryn Hill, Ce Ce Peniston, Deborah Cox, or Alicia Keys. If anybody has any information, please let me know, thanks.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Analysis/ShawnColvin
This page is listed as a sub-page, despite being work pages, and has been unnoticed since 2012. Can one of you guys fix that?
openIs this actually less of a ZCE? Music
The Awesome Music entry for Visage simply said that every song of theirs are awesome. Then, a troper decided to make it less of a Zero Context Example by adding specific song names. Except... That's not more context, right? Both examples are referring to a specific set of songs, and neither version actually says anything about them.
Edited by JamesJamesopenUnnecessarily cut WMG and Headscratchers Music
Hi, I noticed that the WMG and Headscratchers pages for Kidz Bop were cut on account of being nothing but "complaining", but I don't see anything wrong about either of them. From what I remember, the WMG one was just users predicting what songs will be on the next album and the Headscratchers page was asking why the franchise didn't cover a certain song. I don't see what's so wrong about that. I do say it is a bit surprising how people actually take this franchise seriously enough to trope it, but I guess it's because it is well-known.
openRenaming The Wrecking Crew Music
I notice that The Wrecking Crew has been renamed to The Wrecking Crew Music. It seems like the namespace system would make that redundant. Was there any discussion before the page was moved? Should I move it back?
openWhat is the policy about links in YouTube that only some people can listen to Music
I have been reading the Dark Reprise page and a couple of the links are private why is that?
openInconsistent namespacing with Standard Snippet subpages Music
Is there a reason why some of the Standard Snippet subpages are under Music/ (eg. Ride of the Valkyries) and list examples as Standard Snippet (eg. "Standard Snippet: Ride of the Valkyries plays as Alice rides into battle"), while some are under Main/ (eg. Amazing Freaking Grace) and list examples as themselves (eg. "Amazing Freaking Grace: This plays at Alice's funeral")?
Edited by Synchronicityopen1000 Gecs page move? Music
There's a page for 1000 gecs, an album by the band 100 Gecs but no actual page for the band themselves. Additionally, their only output aside from the album so far is one EP. While I could see a page for the album being justifiable after further albums are released, it seems odd right now to have a page for their only album but not the creators. Should the 1000 Gecs page be cut and moved over to a new page for the band?
Edited by Pemulis_128openAll Blue Entry and before trope list spoiler Music
There's an All-Blue Entry and spoiler text line before the trope list on The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.
For the All Blue Entry, I think maybe cut all the potholes except the ones for the works where the characters are from
openFridge.Music Music
Can the Fridge page for Music be reverted to a previous version before Costanton 11 approved on the removing the signatures, as they're the ones that had first person references, and possibly Troper Tales and natter?
It's part of forum thread
that I'm putting in, and reverting it to a previous version makes it easier to know which are the first-person entries so that it would be easier to be edited and removed.
Requesting because I'm on limited resources; I'm using my phone at the moment and I'm using mobile data.

openDarth Wiki or not? Music
So I've noticed recently mods going around and fixing Most Annoying Sound in YMMV pages to be now Darth Wiki/Most Annoying Sound... which is then followed by random users deleting the entry, citing it's Darth Wiki and thus does not belong to YMMV.
Am I missing some important decision or discussion? Should Most Annoying Sound be just removed from YMMV? Are people cutting it out from YMMV in the wrong? I'm confused and I need answers
open Seeking the trope for a Karnivool lyric Music
Deleated by OP; moved to Trope Finder.
Edited by TVRepairmanopenCreating a page for multiple artists Music
Hi. I'd like to trope circles that make fanmade Touhou music, but there are a bunch of circles I don't have a lot to say about. Is it okay if I create a page titled Music.Touhou Fanmade Arrangements and make it similar to the BEMANI page?
openWhy was Ear worm made in-universe only? Music
So, I just became aware of this and I am curious why? I'm guessing too many examples otherwise?

I have no idea how to comment in the thread for doing this. No idea why. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Awesome/KylieMinogue
