[edit] WikiProject Rock music invitation

Hello WikiProject Alternative music member.
WikiProject Alternative music, in my eyes, has proved to be successful "improving the encyclopaedic coverage of articles relating to alternative rock", and improving their quality as well. One specific example I have witnessed is The Smashing Pumpkins article. The page has gone from a mediocre work, to GA status, to FA nomination. Only appropriate, as the Pumpkins are undeniably one of the most influential alternative rock bands on the 1990's and beyond.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently ressurected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and not only be a member of alternative Wikipedians, but the rockin' ones as well.
Rock on.

[edit] Sonic Youth image

I think that kehinde idowu is so freakin sexy and hot a hell!!!one we use for the Alternative WikiProject would be fine. It's free and it looks pretty cool. However, if you really think another picture would be better (granted, it doesn't feature Lee or Steve Shelly) your best bet it to trawl through Flickr accounts and the like, find a picture taken by and posted by someone who owns it, and ask them for permission. We did a similar thing with an image of Billy Corgan for The Smashing Pumpkins. WesleyDodds 11:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk to Phorque about images. He's the one who got the Pumpkins image and he'll know what to ask for. WesleyDodds 22:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Heya, there's a few things you need to do use an image:

  1. Confirm with the flickr user that they did in fact take the photo themselves
  2. Ask kindly if they will release it under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license (the easiest way to do this is to register a flickr account and send them a FlickrMail using one of the permission templates).
  3. Register and upload the photo to the WikiMedia Commons providing all the details asked for on the upload (this way all wikimedia projects can use the image, not just wikipedia)
  4. After that you can use the image in the article without any issues! Happy times! OK, well, not really because it's all a big pain in the ass, but it's great once you've got it all sorted out.

Hope that clears it up for you. ;) - Phorque 14:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello again, just send her a message telling her how to release the photo under the CC license. Basically, she needs to click "edit" next to the "all rights reserved" and then select "Attribution License" or "Attribution-ShareAlike License" and then save the change. Then you upload it to the commons which has everything laid out nicely for you, I'm sure including the link to the website will be no problem. ;) - Phorque 20:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Alternative music and sources

As part of the Alternative music WikiProject, we're gathering a list of sources on this page. Could you take a look and perhaps add any written references you have access to? Thanks! CloudNine 10:10, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
