Misleading category

[edit]

This category is misleading. The category is songs written by Lidbom, yet for a few of the songs I looked at he didn’t write the song; he composed it, composing and writing are two different things. Alexanderlee (talk) 23:13, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexanderlee:. A songwriter is a person who writes music and/or lyrics, in some articles Lidbom is described as a songwriter. There would be no benefit in having two categories, one for composed and one for words and music, especially in many instances we cannot ascertain precisely what contribution he made. Much better to have all his songs together. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:32, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Richhoncho:, ah thank you for explaining. I misunderstood, it seems. Alexanderlee (talk) 10:45, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
