Yes, well done! Shall we translate it to the other languages?
It wasn't a hit... but kept safe from ads :)

I got the idea from this thread to translate all Queen-wikis into Swedish (at the moment they're a bit narrow.)
Should I make the effort or leave it be? (I've got a life beside this :D)

...just adding that "Sail away sweet sister" also needs an article on wiki :D Anyone up to it?

I’d do the sail away one, but - please, it’s not for real, it’s just that I need to say this one time, my hand is itching even - I HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE QUEENZONE.
Whoa! I feel as if I had got rid of a huge load. I finally said the line! I was so eager to say it, it was just the right time, sorry.

Congratulations, Rhyeking. Thanks for the very pragmatic, but essential!, tips there, SirGH!

I don't was dissuade any enthusiam, but...
Since "Sail Away Sweet Sister" wasn't a single, but an album track, Wikipedia may opt to incorporate a page you create into The Game's article.
The guidelines seem to be that a song gets its own page if it's either a single or otherwise historically significant (like "Happy Birthday To You"). Back in the early days of Wikipedia there were pages for songs like "The Night Comes Down," but as the site grew, they started incorporating them into the albums' pages.
You might have better luck submitting it to the Queen Wiki, but I don't know what their guidelines are.
With any page you create, though, you should stick to facts: the song recorded at this venue, on this/these dates, written by so-and-so, has a video directed by whomever, was released in [this country], was banned in [that country], is about [this subject...but only if you can back it up with facts, or it's very obvious, like a love song], and was released on the following formats [remixes, edits, 12" Extended Version, etc].
It's tempting to write an entire dissertation on how meaningful the song is, its popularity, what the lyrics *really* mean and the impact it had (or should have) on the world. It's very difficult (I'd say pretty impossible now) to get away with writing a glamour article these days.
Just some thoughts, for anyone who hasn't submitted anything for Wikipedia.

Thanks for your input, maybe I'll leave it be then...
IMO it's an amazing song and one of the few songs with Brian on vocals... But you are right it probably would be deleted since it was not realeased as a single, although that is a shame... Well I guess I'll do something else with my time :D

I added a few sources and tidied it up a bit. I took the advice to fix some links, too. It's still there, so maybe the dumbass who deleted it will leave it alone now.
I'm going to do something about the "Overview" part next. It seems cheesy to me.
And thanks for the support, folks. I appreciate it.
