Talk:Breathless

Breathless (novel)

There are two novels with the title Breathless, one by Dean Koontz, and one by Lurlene McDaniel. This disambiguation page mentions the McDaniel novel, but points to the Koontz novel. Also, by the way, McDaniel's page points to the entry for Koontz' novel. Is there an entry lost somewhere for McDaniel's novel? I'm not sure how to straighten this out, so I'm just hoping that a mention here will draw this to the attention of someone who does know what to do.TomS TDotO (talk) 14:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The situation has been corrected--and many thanks for pointing it out. What happened was, the link Breathless (novel) was a redlink for the McDaniel novel. Then an editor created an article for the Koontz novel at that location, but didn't add it, or correct the entry, on the dab page. I just corrected the attribution for the existing link & created a new redlink for the other novel. Cheers!--ShelfSkewed Talk 18:19, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Otis Blackwell

Fairly new to all this, but curious about why the change I made yesterday was reverted. Is it not appropriate to note that Otis Blackwell wrote the song that Jerry Lee Lewis popularized? Additionally, the note says that the X cover of the song is irrelevant, however the Taylor Swift cover of another song called Breathless remains. Is there any rationale for this? Who/what determines what is relevant or not? I'm not even going to try to understand the one-link-per-line rule. Sorry 'bout that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.238.202.136 (talk) 22:57, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The situation has changed more than that, since I decided to create an article for the song (see Breathless (Jerry Lee Lewis song)). So Blackwell's authorship and several cover versions are noted there. The Taylor Swift cover is mentioned here because it was a charting single; the X cover was not.--ShelfSkewed Talk 23:10, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
