The previous format of the chart positions was consistant with other articles on Wikipedia of the same type. If nobody justifies why it was changed, I am changing it back. -- LGagnon 03:36, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)
I feel that this song isn't necessarily ironic or sarcastic, although you could interpret it that way. I always found the lyric "Today is the greatest day of them all" sincere since the singer is uplifted knowing today he will commit suicide. So I changed the article a little so there isn't the claim the songs lyrics are sarcastic, but if you think my view is bogus let's talk about it. Rab V 08:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
This article is well written, it has a good lead, and it's broad in its coverage. It also has reliable references and citations throughout the article, therefore I'm passing the article. Good job to those who worked on it! Mahanga Talk 02:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I'm a big fan of SP and like the articles on Wikipedia. Some of the singles articles discuss live versions and I think Today should also have this as it is perhaps their best known song. For example the early incarnations of the song stuck to the Siamese Dream sound, wherease during the Adore era it was acousticified if played at all. Finally, it's now taken on a short solo at the end as new live versions have shown.
Just a suggestion... DrBobert 19:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
This sounds like grunge? Anyone agree? Thundermaster367 09:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't the title of this article be Today (Smashing Pumpkins song) (without the definite article in the band's name)? For example, Wikipedia has Something (Beatles song) and Something (The Beatles song) is redirected to it. Dyspeptic skeptic ( talk) 03:27, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
This older FA needs some tuning up to get back to the modern featured article criteria. There's a couple of spots where citations are needed, such as the inclusion of Ludwig in the personnel section. There's also a couple citations to sources that are doubtful - a Reddit post, rocklistmusic, act4.net, and homelesstunes. This should be easily fixable, but work is needed.

Today (The Smashing Pumpkins song) → Today (Smashing Pumpkins song) – I do not believe that there should be a definite article in the page name (same with Rocket (The Smashing Pumpkins song)). As User:Dyspeptic skeptic points out above me, articles like Something (Beatles song) do not feature the definite article in their titles, so why should this be the same? It seems like a no-brainer to me, but I want to allow discussion to happen before a potential move takes place. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 13:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. ( non-admin closure) {{ping| ClydeFranklin}} ( t/ c) 18:08, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
– "The" does not need to be in the hatnote (see also: various Beatles songs with "Beatles song" without the definite article as the hatnote). JeffSpaceman ( talk) 17:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
