Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Noticeboard

Archive

I'm attempting to make this noticeboard more useful for myself and others by organizing it and deleting any obviously obsolete or resolved material. I've archived the previous state of the page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Noticeboard/Archive 1. There's still a ways to go in terms of organization but I think it's looking much better. My apologies if I've removed any desired material - hopefully this will help the noticeboard be easier for all to use. MarkBuckles 03:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I took all the notices you archived and copied them into archives for the individual sections - Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Noticeboard/Old/Help, for example, contains completed help requests. These individual archives are all transcluded onto Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Noticeboard/Old. Λυδαcιτγ 18:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Just to check - should any fulfilled requests be deleted or moved to the archive? Madder 00:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Anybody actually use this page?

Just wondered... doesn't seem to get much edit-traffic. --kingboyk 20:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I have it watchlisted, haven't had too much use for it personally, though. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

It is used a fair bit actually - it comes up on my watchlist quite a lot - and it is useful for improving music-related articles. Madder 02:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Sly & the Family Stone FAR

Sly & the Family Stone has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Shortcut

Hello. An existing shortcut WP:MN redirects to here. In case you need it, WT:MN goes to this talk page. I will try to think of something else for Minnesota. —SusanLesch (talk) 06:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

new template

Just an FYI for anyone interested. another editor and I drafted an infobox for 'Music of' type articles - {{Infobox music of}} - because the ones that were there were kind of crappy. it's up and running, so feel free to use it, and feel free to make suggestions and/or improvements to the template. --Ludwigs2 20:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Looking for guidance

In watching recent changes I often see genre changes made by users. Excluding those that are patently absurd I rarely revert these changes (as I can appreciate that this can be somewhat subjective). However, I have seen editors making changes to genres in opposition to instructions otherwise. My question is, do I maintain these?: "Please see the XYZ talk page before altering this-->| or "DO NOT ADD GENRES TO THIS SECTION OR THE BOX - ESPECIALLY DO NOT PUT "XYZ genre" - A LOT OF TIME AND DISCUSSION HAS GONE INTO MAKING IT AS NEUTRAL AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE READ THE DISCUSSION PAGE, AND IF YOU WISH TO HAVE YOUR SAY, SAY IT THERE. DEFINITIVE STATEMENTS AS TO ABC band's GENRE REPRESENT A POINT OF VIEW AND DO NOT BELONG HERE--> or other messages that contain some caveat regarding editing genres. It's very difficult to know which articles are being watched carefully and I do not want to leave edits that are against consensus. I understand that sometimes there is no definitive answer to these questions and if that's the case here then so be it. Please forgive me if I am rehashing an old question. Thanks in advance Tiderolls 05:01, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

if you're talking about "hit & run" changes that are clearly against a consensus among the editors who work[ed] on a page, and you feel the changes are misguided, then go ahead and revert them. if a discussion ensues, a new consensus might emerge, or the old one might be reconfirmed. either way that's WP:BRD in action.

RFC regarding use of succession boxes in song and album articles

There is an RFC taking place at WT:CHARTS#Request for comment: Use of succession boxes. Should they be kept? Are they needed? Plenty of arguments for both it seems. More third party opinions are needed and welcomed. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 00:44, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Template request

Would it be possible to recode {{Infobox music of}} to make the image size optionally adjustable? There's a consensus that the maple leaf on {{Music of Canada}} is a little bit too big at the current hardcoded image size, and we'd like to reduce it a little bit. I'd do it myself, but I don't know how. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 22:52, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Vital articles

There is a discussion occuring here regarding which music articles should be deemed vital to the Wikipedia project. Your input would be appreciated. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:10, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Article split discussions for Amon Amarth, Guttermouth, Pop Evil, SeS, TNAF & UproarFest

I am writing to encourage users to comment on the discussions at Talk:Amon Amarth, Talk:Guttermouth, Talk:Pop Evil, Talk:Smile Empty Soul, Talk:The Naked and Famous & Talk:Uproar Festival about whether or not parts of the pages should be split from the remainder of the article. If someone can indicate the best place to post this, it would be greatly appreciated. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:11, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
