[edit] GALA Choruses

The correct abbreviation for the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses is "GALA Choruses" and not simply "GALA". Although some affectionately refer to the organization - and even its events - as "GALA," it is not the official abbreviation. I know this for a fact as I recently served on their board of directors and also participated in a discussion on the matter with current board members as recently as February 2007. It is also obvious on the website: www.galachoruses.org.

[edit] Clean Up

This page has been tagged for clean up, but as yet the "tagger" has not identified the specific reason/s. MusicMen 21:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I tagged this page for cleanup, as it, well, needs cleanup. It is ok up until the historic timeline. Although it's not technically proseline, it acts like it, and that is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. I think that it is well-written up until the timeline, but I don't think that most of that is important to the article. Maybe someone could pick out the most useful items and reduce the time line a lot. I believe that most of the information in this article would not be important or necessary to the article, and probably actually distracts the reader from the subject with a bunch of relatively useless facts. I'd say about 75% of the article isn't actually needed and is very distracting. Also the pictures need captions to go with them. --Sbrools ^{(talk . contribs)} 22:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. The historic timeline - or at least the bulk of it - will be removed to a different site. Captions will be added to the images. Thank you for your feedback. MusicMen 22:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Much better, thank you. --Sbrools ^{(talk . contribs)} 17:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Linkfarm

the linkfarm tag was added because of the inordinate number of external references that have no relation to the actual content of the article. --emerson7 | Talk 18:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I am in the process of fixing this. Many of the references listed were connected to content in the article, but that content has since been deleted. MusicMen 19:14, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thought

One thing that would be good to have in the article is whether straight men are allowed to join the chorus. If not, how do they ensure only gay men join? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. I've added this information. MusicMen 01:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
