To tell the truth, it shouldn't be there at all. Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia of speculation, it's an encyclopedia of facts.

If there's anything I've learned with my limited time editing on Wikipedia, it's that you have to be bold. A person is much more likely to accept your change than decide that your prospective change is important enough that they should bother.

Remember, what's done can always be undone, but if you don't do it in the first place, who will know what could have been done? It's almost the opposite of any other situation

well Soumyasch responded to my post in the talk page and agrees with the removal.

damn i also noticed 50-60 listed as another single on the Psychédélices page (citing speculation article) and again making it seem like it's a confirmed thing.

Maybe just mention 50-60 as speculation until something is confirmed. Good job otherwise guys.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like you covered this already

That wiki is how I was able to find this site! Cause I usually wiki something or google it before I delve into it. So its a good thing you all stuck that link back up there. Kepp up the good work guys!

Yes, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of facts, not speculations. It is clever to list references/external sites though where speculations are made.
As for album art, it looks like we can't use any photos of Alizée or album art. I don't see anything there. Isn't there a fan taken photo or something that we can use for the picture of Alizée? You know, one where she's posing for a photo that's already all over the fan sites.
This just seems lame that we can't have any pictures of anything about Alizée.
As for lists of Alizée web sites, check it out. This one is getting pretty long: http://forums.alizeealliance.net/ali...dpost&p=129917

The art is definitely speculation at this point. I think it could be used with a caption specifically stating that it is what is being anticipated by some parts of the fan community at this time, and it's unknown if it will be the actual art. Alternatively, one could use the entirely genuine Mademoiselle Juliette "cover art" and comment that it's from the first single extracted from the new album, the art for which is not yet known.

Seriously though, people think Fifty/Sixty is speculation? If it's not on Psychédélices, where exactly do people think it is going? It is her singing, it's a new song, and if you believe the scare-mongers cries of her removing it because of some invented public reaction, I've got some swampland in Florida to sell you.

that's not the point cooney. it has nothing to do with whether we "think" it is her song and it's on the album.

the point is, wikipedia is not the place for unconfirmed speculations, especially when it is not noted as so. sure i know 50-60 likely has a place on the new album, but writing on wikipedia as if it has already been confirmed/anounced is misleading and irresponsible. its simply not a "fact" (yet).
