Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Swing! may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

The original cast album was nominated for a Grammy in the "Musical Show" category. <ref>[http://www.digitalhit.com/grammy/43/nominees.shtml</ref>

The Song is You

In the article about "The Song is You", you changed the song form from AABA to AABA', based on your note that the final section is a slight variation on the first section. The prior text (AABA form) was cited to a particular source (which I can't access because I haven't purchased a subscription to archive.org). Did you access the source to know that the source claims AABA', or are you making this change based on your own knowledge of the song? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Based on my knowledge of the song. I can be more specific if necessary. JonsmithNYC (talk) 13:46, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s actually AA′BA′′ (A, A prime, B, A double prime) but I don’t know how to type the “double prime” symbol.) JonsmithNYC (talk) 13:49, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, when your own knowledge contradicts published sources, we have to accept what the published sources say. See WP:NOR. (PS: fixed the double prime for you.)WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:00, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The published sheet music is the most primary source. A cursory musical analysis of that will tell you what the correct song form is. I can do that analysis for you, but I don’t know if that’s the level of detail most consumers or Wikipedia are interested in. JonsmithNYC (talk) 14:07, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Cursory musical analysis" is a form of original research. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:11, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there were not already a published source citing the original text, I would likely have no issue with your update, but now you are pitting yourself against published sources, and that generally doesn't fly here. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:13, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
