I personally think it's a little better to not have any internal links on the right side of each phrase, for two reasons. 1) it visually hilights the actual phrases of the song if only the left side is hilighted; granted, there are other ways to hilight the first part, but 2) anyone can get to the right-side links (eg. sushi or Japanese) by first clicking on the left side links (eg. wasabi) and then clicking further. I don't feel terribly strongly on this though, it's just an aesthetic suggestion. --Interiot 00:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Strange external link
It linked to a google search: "Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes" "in tune with Sailor Moon" That doesn't make sense.
- The specific search terms don't have to make sense. However, every result on the google page lists the lyrics for this song, so it's not a useless link. I've added it back. --Interiot 20:56, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Candy Bar
Since my correction got reverted, I'll try to discuss it here. Should, or should not, an article about a song by a Canadian band (and presumably thusly, a Canadian song) be in Canadian English, or first come, first serve style? I (obviously) believe the former, but I'm trying to solicit some other opinions. WilyD 18:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
It's a debatable point, but should an article about Australia only use Colour instead of Color? Who knows. Candy bar is the name of the article though. I am from Canada, and Candy bar is perfectly acceptable English up here. I have also heard that there is some sort of FDA-type regulations about Candy bar vs. Chocolate bar in terms of the percentage of chocolate content in the product, but I haven't been able to confirm this. To be honest, the best reasoning to me is that everyone can agree it falls into the Category of 'Candy bar'. Americans might say that it doesn't fall into the 'chocolate bar' category. It would make sense to me to use the the term that can't be misinterpreted... But it's just a Snickers, so it's really not the most crucial distinction of fact in the world, right?

- In general there's some debate about what kind of English should be used in articles, due to wide variations, but the only sort of "agreed upon" guideline is that it should be consistant throughout an article. And you'll find that articles about Australia will use Australian english. Although Canadians may often use terms from any and all sorts of english, 'candy bar' is not really found in Canadian English, 'chocolate bar' is the equivilent term - I'll take a look at a snicker's bar later and see what it says.

- That would probably be the most efficient way to go about it... TheHYPO 08:21, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
