When necessary, disambiguation should be done using (band), (album), or (song) (such as [[Anthrax (band)]] or [[Insomniac (album)]]); use further disambiguation only when needed (for example [[X (U.S. band)]], [[X (Australian band)]]). Unless multiple albums of the same name exist (such as [[Down to Earth]]), they do not need to be disambiguated any further. For example, [[Down to Earth (Ozzy Osbourne album)]] is fine, but [[Insomniac (Green Day album)]] is unnecessary. Disambiguate albums and songs by artist and not by year unless the artist releases multiple albums with the same name. When a track is not strictly a song (in other words a composition without lyrics, or an instrumental that is not a cover of a song), disambiguation should be done using (composition) or (instrumental). | When necessary, disambiguation should be done using (band), (album), or (song) (such as [[Anthrax (band)]] or [[Insomniac (album)]]); use further disambiguation only when needed (for example [[X (U.S. band)]], [[X (Australian band)]]).

When a person is first mentioned in an article, their full names should be used. Further mentions should be abbreviated to surname only. When using the possessive form of names that end in "s", (e.g. Rivers), a second s should not be added. Add the apostrophe after the original s (e.g. Rivers'). | When a person is first mentioned in an article, their full names should be used. Further mentions should be abbreviated to surname only.
