Quotes from 2003
[edit]Quote:
There is also a secret track "Password", played by rewinding past the beginning of the CD.
Interesting, I was unable to find this secret track. More instructions??
I start the CD playing on track 1, spinning around, after i hear the song play i press and hold the rewind button. the counter rewinds to zero and then starts to count up again. after 3:50 i let go and password starts playing.
I doesn't work on PC's, and perhaps different versions of the album don't contain it. My version is the UK version
nah, it just just stopped at 0:00 oh well, I guess it's not on the Canadian version. :( Earl Andrew 21:54, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
i seem to recal that in the german and spanish versions, the bonus track comes at the end of the cd. try that
How does that work? do I have to fast forward it? Earl Andrew 22:08, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
'fraid I don't know
Ok, thanks anyways. I found the lyrics for it on the net, but was unable to find it on Grokster, and found little information about it on google. And, thanks for all your Kylie related work :-D Earl Andrew 22:18, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Image:Light Years.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned references in Light Years (Kylie Minogue album)
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Light Years (Kylie Minogue album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Improved to Good Article status by Damian Vo (talk). Self-nominated at 06:39, 17 August 2021 (UTC).
General: Article is new enough and long enough |
---|
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |
---|
|
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |
---|
|
QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Article is a recent GA, long enough and well sourced. Earwig is not picking up any copyvio (except quotes and titles). qpq is done. All the hooks are interesting and mostly cited. The 12 year gap between Kylie's debut album and Light Years isn't technically mentioned the source but that's really more of a basic fact than anything (it's pretty self-explanatory that 2000 was 12 years after 1988).
