Song title
editI think the 'A' on this article needs to be changed to 'a-' (The Train Kept a-Rollin'") as in Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changin'" article.Chapa1985 (talk) 23:54, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

- The 12/21/15 RfC (closed 2/11/16) was unable to establish a consensus with the note "leave articles as they are without edit-warring, and wait for the second RFC" (Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters#RfC: Should an "a-prefixing" guideline be added to MOS:CT?). This article should remain "Train Kept A-Rollin'" pending a consensus. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:41, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
Unneeded Aerosmith single table
editThe large table with Aerosmith's single release history is unneeded and places too much emphasis on an unimportant version of the song. Most of the release info is already included in the infobox: release date, format, B-side, length, label, etc. (details about a restricted "Radio station copy" are not included in articles unless they are are particularly noteworthy). The single release was an edited (shortened) version of Aerosmith's popular album recording of the song. It receives one sentence in the article: "A 3:15 edited version of the song without the added audience noises was released as a single, but it did not appear on the record charts." The single version was never re-released on an album and the AllMusic song review doesn't even mention it. It's only appearance in Billboard appears to be a listing of its release, but not in a chart. The group's original full-length album version is a staple of classic rock radio and continues to be released on various Aerosmith anthologies. The single version is little more than a line entry in their discography. To make it prominent in the article gives it undue weight. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:13, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
