Cwm Rhondda

[edit]

Is this text ever sung with Cwm Rhondda (i.e. Guide me O thou great Redeemer)? The words seem to fit that tune quite well, although the "songs of praises, songs of praises" and "praise him! praise him" repetitions are slightly different syllable counts. I would be slightly surprised if no-one had experimented with this before. GPinkerton (talk) 16:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GPinkerton: WP:NOTFORUM. In any case, a look at hymnary shows no record of this being sung to that tune, and in any case this is an encyclopedia article so we should only list the most frequent settings. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:26, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@RandomCanadian: Sorry, I am aware of WP:NOTFORUM and thank you very much for bringing that resource to my attention. Obviously if there were a connection it would have been notable and worth including but since not, not. Thanks! GPinkerton (talk) 20:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Undiscussed move

[edit]

@Morriswa: Per WP:BRD I have reverted your (incorrect) move (see the majority of academic sources cited in the article). Let's discuss. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:14, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Song titles should be capitalized the way that I did. Morriswa (Charlotte Allison) (talk) 01:33, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a song title. It is a first line (incipit) used as a stand-in title for a song which otherwise has no title. See MOS:INCIPIT, and the high quality academic sources which we should be basing these articles upon (such as both version of the Dictionary of Hymnology, i.e. link to the more recent one). Wikipedia isn't a hymnal. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:44, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
