[edit] Collaboration of the Week [edit] Pageview stats After a recent request, I added WikiProject Alternative music to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative music/Popular pages. The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr.Z-man 04:17, 1 November 2009 (UTC) - Really, Muse has the most popular page? WesleyDodds (talk) 08:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- Having seen them pack a stadium in New Jersey while opening, I'm not surprised.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:02, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- I knew Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers were highly trafficked pages, but I never would have guessed Muse. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:07, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Losing feeling (note capitalization) needs to be moved to Losing Feeling, but that already exists as a redirect to No Age. Can an admin delete Losing Feeling and move Losing feeling there? I don't want to destroy the edit history by copy-pasting. Regards, Pdcook (talk) 21:18, 23 November 2009 (UTC) - I redirected Losing Feeling to Losing feeling for now. This should get it done sooner: Wikipedia:Requested moves. Suede67 (talk) 21:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- I just requested a speedy deletion under G6. Pdcook (talk) 00:36, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- yeah, that'd help too, then you'd be allowed to move the full article, with the history being taken care of automatically. Suede67 (talk) 00:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Citing a press release Hi, does anyone know how I go about citing a print copy of a record company press release? Cavie78 (talk) 17:17, 24 November 2009 (UTC) - {{Cite press release}} --JD554 (talk) 19:07, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Great stuff, thanks! Cavie78 (talk) 20:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- If possible, stay away from citing press releases. They are primary sources that predominantly are focused on pushing POV (shilling an album, doing "damage control", etc.) Of course, if it's all you have to cite a fact, it's better than nothing. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Green Day Green Day is a pretty old Good Article that needs to be cleaned up. Anyone willing to help me work on it over the next few weeks? WesleyDodds (talk) 10:32, 25 November 2009 (UTC) [edit] Article quality sweeps? Some of the project's FA and GA articles are showing their age and/or neglect (people taking breaks/leaving Wikipedia and all). Quite a few of us keep certain pages watchlisting, and there are a few that don't receive much vandalism, but maybe we could work together to spruce up a few articles that don't need much improvement. A few suggestions: More intensive projects: Add anything else to the lists that you think need a brush-up, or cross off a page if you get around to bringing it up to current standards.

This taskforce would cover grunge articles, checking for quality, accuracy, and consistency. Its ideal members are knowledgeable about the history of grunge as well as the influence grunge has brought modern music. Hopefully, this will consolidate individual grunge artist workgroups into a single collaborative team. - Work within the Alternative music WikiProject to increase its overall quality.
- Improve articles within the grunge category.
- Add content relevant to the grunge movement.
- Patrol frequently vandalized articles within the taskforce's scope.
- Ensure consistency and accuracy in articles with reference to grunge.
[edit] Support Please specify whether or not you would join the taskforce. - Support. I'd love to take the helm on this. mheart (talk) 03:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion I initially wanted to begin this group as a WikiProject, but after some insight from active members of the Alternative music WikiProject, I feel that it would be best as a taskforce. The Grunge music taskforce could be very successful with the backing of the Alternative music WikiProject community. Should this project take off, its taskforce page will be listed at WikiProject Alternative Music/Grunge. mheart (talk) 03:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC) [edit] Removal of reviews from the album infobox This is a notification of the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums regarding the removal of reviews from the album infobox. The discussion has reached consensus to remove the reviews, though is still accepting further input into the matter. We are especially requiring more discussion on what steps to take next. Your input would be appreciated on what is a matter that will affect a lot of music articles. kiac. (talk-contrib) 09:31, 19 December 2009 (UTC) |
