I'd like to add a personal note. Please don't be discouraged by this process. I, personally, like the fact that you're willing to write about a Christian group. We need more writers who'll take on the subject. But, please keep in mind, this is an encyclopedia, and as such we want to keep it as professional as possible. Please consult the Wikipedia:Manual of Style for more details on how you can write an effective article that will remain permanently. Also, be aware of Wikipedia:Notability (music) and make sure that the subject of your article will meet the minimum standards for an entry, and that such notability is documented in the text of the article. Again, please don't be discouraged. If you need any help or guidance, please click on my name at the end of this note, and then click on the "dicussion" tab to get to my talk page.

I think we posted about the same time...Don't really know about the search engine issue. I typed in the full name of the article, and it came up. Typed in "Chi Rho" and it went to another page, because there's a redirect page for that. I'll see if I can't improve that. Akradecki 01:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I just dropped a note on the talk page for the article that has info on the copyright issue. As for the style, no offense, but it still needs some work. Check out the article for Burlap To Cashmere...see how the headers are arranged? The lists? Links? That's what makes a WP article. Akradecki 23:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Wow...never mind...a Wikipedia administrator just cleared the article on both counts...unusual that the copyright issue was cleared so easily. Cool! But, please do keep working on improving the style. Akradecki 23:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Great job! The article is terrific now. I did a little clean-up copyedit. If I remember right, the phrase A capella is properly written italicized, since it's Latin, so I did that; if I'm wrong, let me know and I'll change it back. One note if you do future articles: instead of using the little bullet symbols, use an asterisk (*) that way the lines automatically break without having to use the break code. One of the things that makes Wikipedia work is having links from other places, so I made sure that there were active links from the Univ. page, as well as the general list of collegiat a capella groups. In fact, an article can get flagged for not having links to it. If you want further work, Wikipedia allows for seperate entries for albums, so you might want to consider doing that, as well (find a good album entry and copy your style after it; The Prodigal Son (album) is a good example). Also, I noticed that the University has other a capella groups...if they have the reputation that your group does, you might want to consider writing about them. Lastly, if you need a church in California to sing at someday, let me know!!! Akradecki 00:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, now a search using the phrase "Chi Rho" works better. Akradecki 01:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, you made the same mistake I catch my daughter making when she's doing algebra - forgot to close the brackets! All you were missing were the "}}" after the producer line. And don't worry about so many messages...I'm enjoying this.... Akradecki 01:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, one more little point of style (I don't mean to get too picky...). It's WP style to italicize names of books, albums, songs, ships, etc. To italicize, just put two single quote marks before and two after the word/phrase. Akradecki 01:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Usually, when there's a common phrase like The Promise, there will be a "disambiguation" page (I love the words that get made up around here!) so that everything can be sorted out. There's one for The Promise. There's now one for Chi Rho, which is how I got the search to work better. So, if you go there, you'll note that there's no article entitled The Promise (album). In fact, as the link I just typed should be showing red, all you have to do is click on it to start you page. Once your page is up, go to the disambig page and add an entry and a link to your new page. Simple! Akradecki 02:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

According to the album project guide page, you include the artist's name, so I updated the disambig page, and set aside this link for you: The Promise Akradecki 02:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and as for learning WP, I've been editing for a while now. Learned mainly by trial and error, making mistakes, and disecting other articles to see how it's done. Akradecki 02:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Another thing: this page Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums will be helpful to you for conforming your entries to the standard. Akradecki 02:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Do any of your albums have the song I'll Fly Away on them? I'm trying to decide which one to order. You've got me intrigued! My high-school daughter sings in her Christian school's choir, and we all love this kind of music around here. Akradecki 02:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi...sorry I disappeared. Had to do family stuff. Anyway, you don't need to make a disambig page for free. Free already is one, there's already a couple of albums listed. But, just in case you need to make one in the future, you just make a regular page and you put a disambiguation tag at the bottom. The tag is simply the word disambiguation with two { at the front and two } at the end. Search strings on Wikipedia are case sensitive...I just checked and saw that Chi Rho went to the disambig page, whereas Chi rho didn't...but I fixed that. I'm off to bed, but if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask...I'll be up tomorrow. Akradecki 05:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Free (Chi Rho album)

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Free (Chi Rho album), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Hello. Since the group's article was deleted, I've prod'd the albums. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you, Fang Aili ^talk 05:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
