[edit] Music

Music of Missouri and Music of Kansas - time starts about the year 1980 in both of these articles. The tremendous influence of Kansas City, Missouri on jazz would be a welcome addition to the music of Missouri. The rock band Kansas (band) gets no mention in the Kansas article other than a disambiguation link. On my 'to-do' list, but I'm not a high-powered jazz expert. Brian Rock 01:41, Apr 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Genres

Contemporary Christian music Needs more artists added, and list needs to be alphabitised-Joiz 15:02, Apr 1, 2004 (CST)

Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about contemporary Christain music, but I can alphabetize. ^_^ I put all the bands starting with "the" in the T section; I know this isn't exactly standard, but neither is alphabetizing by first name. So, hope helped at least a little. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 06:03, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)

I have re-alphabetized it in a more standard fashion and have been adding artists. -- Holford 16:30, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Freestyle house - I submitted a great article with permission of its original author ... but it needs a serious formatting job done up and wiki linking. its waaay too long for me to do it all myself. Alkivar 01 Aug 2004

Arab music - This important overview page could benefit from attention from someone with music training. There's enough there that specific knowledge of Arab music might not be necessary to help. I don't know anything about music theory, but I tried to clean up some confusing prose in the first bits - you might look at the version just before my change [1] to make sure I didn't mangle anything. - Cdc 23:54, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Groups

DOA Important Canadian punk/hard rock band, extremely slipshod article.

SSD (band) Important early hardcore band from Boston, serious POV issues (many passages already fixed).

Shalamar, highly effusive article, needs NPOV attention, also has as excess of (often incorrect or inappropriate) links. I don't know enough about them to fix correctly Rossrs 07:55, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Dokken - needs formatting, copyediting, and some clean-up and expansion. - Scooter 05:29, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

S Club 7 Candidate for expansion (ideas: tv series, discography links, external links, S Club 8, individual member bios)-MGM 14:56, Apr 18, 2004 (UTC)

Murderdolls - I stumbled across this and it needs serious formatting and grammar corrections. It could also use a content boost, more information, or maybe just delete it altogether.

Moonspell & Slayer - Both need attention from someone who knows more about the bands than I do. Cbguder 00:30, Jun 5, 2004 (UTC)

Norther - I can't think of something that doesn't need to be improved in this article. --Sn0wflake 06:54, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The Manhattans - needs biography, I think. -- Mike Garcia 01:15, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Labels

Lawrance Livermore, Lawrence Livermore, Green Day, Lookout! Records - First article is orphaned. First 2 articles seem to overlap (and are small). Needs attention from one who cares or knows ... Zigger 15:45, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

First is a spelling error, redirected to the second, to which I've added a bit more detail. Still needs more, as does the record label page. The Green Day page looks fine to me. - David Gerard 16:12, Feb 24, 2004 (UTC)

Black & White Records and Black & White Records Part 2 -- may need compression (this is mostly a discography of their releases, with somewhat odd formatting). Tregoweth 01:52, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

Neposedi - should be looked at by russian for fact-check. rhyax 23:27, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lists

List of band name etymologies - Anyone who knows the etymology of a band name is welcome to add to the list. Aecis 14:03, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

2004 in music repeatedly Michaeled -- accuracy therefore questionable. Maximus Re x 23:48, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

List of arrangers - Stubby and poorly formatted. Moreover, arranger is a redirect to this page, which seems wrong. -mhr 06:01, 24 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Redirect fixed, page still needs work... perhaps delete and replace by a category? Andrewa 05:57, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Timeline of heavy metal - the list is temporarily incomplete and a little bit on Timeline of punk rock. -- 01:16, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Musical instruments

Saxophone - i don't know where else to place this request. We really should have a Wikipedia:Images needing attention page. My request involves the bottom-most image of the saxophone article. It really should be placed horizontally, rather than vertically. Kingturtle 02:06, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Did my changes fix it to your satisfaction? I guess the image was placed rotated since it was too wide; I put a smaller (properly oriented) version in the article, with a link to properly oriented large image. --Infrogmation 18:24, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Musicians

Vybz Kartel, the entire article about Vybz Kartel (widely regarded as the most promising young artist) was written by 158.103.0.2 today in one edit [2] with only minor corrections added later. [3] See the history. [4] Rafał Pocztarski 17:01, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Evan Taubenfeld - this is a mess. It looks like it's a page from someone's fansite for the guy. Much work is needed... Kurt Shaped Box 01:24, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Jobriath - needs NPOV attention, any aging glam rockers out that can help???? quercus robur 09:34, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Rose Royce, highly effusive article, needs NPOV attention, also has as excess of (often incorrect or inappropriate) links. I don't know enough about them to fix correctly Rossrs 07:55, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Keith Levene - needs (lots of) NPOV attention. 1 Nov 2004.

Jennifer Charles - needs some organisation and rewritting, possibly split to Elysean Fields (music) --Valmi 18:26, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Vinnie Vincent needs fact check, from cleanup but some of the syntax was so odd I'm not sure if i parsed correctly and I'm no KISS expert. rhyax 06:45, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Dave Blood - I can barely find anything on the Web! You'd think a member of such well-documented band would be easier to find. The Billboard obit doesn't even give his age. --Charles A. L. 21:31, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)

Mick Jagger - I believe Wikipedia can do better than that -- there's no biography there! <KF> 22:33, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Vonda Shepard -- Please complete the list of songs on her album. If any songs on the album are NOT covers of oldies, just write "original". Also, can you add her birth year to this article?? 66.245.11.49 01:00, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

Hideto "hide" Matsumoto probably does deserve an article, but this one is pure fansplurge. Anyone want to do it justice? jpgordon 16:37, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I merged it in hide (musician), and rephrased some sentences to make them less fansplurging ;). The article stills need to be expanded extensively. --xDCDx 13:30, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Vic godard - apparently this guy was pretty big in the punk scene. Needs a lot of cleanup to make it a good article. --Wolf530 19:46, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)
