New member

Hello everyone I am a new member! I have a lot of experience in music professionally on many subjects and I also have a lot of advice on projects as well, which leads me to the below statements.

This project is in danger and I aim to revive it! So I ask all members who are still active to comment here. The list of members is very long for a semi-active project. Yikes! --Xavier (talk) 13:55, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm not actually on the list for this project, but I do contribute, and am a member of the Christian metal project. I'll go ahead and add my name to the list.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 15:16, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Also, is it acceptable to clear away user names from the list if an editor has been inactive for years?--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 15:18, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

@3family6: Yes it is, but let's wait about 30 days before any changes to the list are made to give members time that might still be active. I have started the full discussion here.

The project Bot

I have already removed the bot code that was archiving this page.

The current project bot seems out of date in terms of syntax. I vote for the Bot to be archived and replaced with a new one. Since I know all the necessary steps to creating one I do not mind making one. On the other hand, the need for a bot seems quite unnecessary. What are your thoughts? --Xavier (talk) 16:02, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Shortcuts updated

I have updated the shortcuts! The project is underway!--Xavier (talk) 02:14, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Userbox revamped

I have been working on the userbox and have finally got it looking more presentable. There was a lot of improper and outdated syntax. --Xavier (talk) 17:17, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Band member timeline standards discussion at WikiProject Musicians

I wanted everyone here to know about the current discussion happening at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians#Create Member Section/Timeline Standards that may put an end to all of the edit warring and inconsistency surround band member timelines. — DLManiac (talk) 06:52, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
