[edit] Music magazine

If anyone has the time and the inclination, music magazine could really use some love. It was rightly nominated for deletion because, in its current form, it's nothing resembling an article. Still, the subject deserves a well-written article. Thanks. Stilgar135 00:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Music stores?/Record shop

66.167.252.251 06:56, 12 September 2005 (UTC): It would be useful to have an article about the role that music stores and virtual equivalents like iTunes Music Store play in the music scene. In particular, indepdendent stores like Music Millennium can sometimes become part of the local music culture. I expected to find a way to get to such a topic on this portal but never saw one. Perhaps it could be related to the topic of the music industry.

I create Record shop, thanks to improve it !

[edit] Claude Challe

Pretty famous and composes awesome music. There's no article on him. I am surprised. deeptrivia (talk) 06:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rough Trade Distribution and The Cartel

Rough Trade Distribution, a major independent UK distributor (as part of The Cartel) that went bankrupt in ~1992. --kingboyk 20:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of song names that have been performed by multiple artists (different songs not covers)

This list used to exist and was most interesting and informative, but I haven't been able to find any refernce to it for months. has someone deleted it? and if so why?

[edit] List of vital articles

Many music articles need to be made more clear to the lay reader (see:Wikipedia:Explain jargon and Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Think of the reader).

These include music, interval (music), and scale (music).

[edit] Milton Preves (Violist)

Lacking enough source information, was only able to build up a basic bio of his life from a obituatry in the Chicago Sun-Times from 2000. Internet sources are very minimal, so other alternate source will have to be found with more information. Also, I was unable to find anything on his birth date, though in the obituary, his exact death is mentioned. Compuguy1088 19:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hip hop collaborations

contains a ridiculous amount of errors, and I need help converting its code. Please help! --Phantasy Phanatik 09:09, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sintir

needs the atention of someone with knowledge of African instruments. A photograph would be great as well... Francisco Valverde 16:02, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Krakebs

is another African musical instrument with only a very small stub article. --Francisco Valverde 16:14, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singing

Short, not detailed, no pictures, uninteresting, needs cleanup. Tom Stringham 00:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] American Boychoir School

Need copyedit. It was my first major editing job and it should be reviewed. Thanks. Wangster 18:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rhythmic mode

For over one year now, Rhythmic mode has required someone who knows something about music to take a looks at it. Hyacinth has presented specifications of what is required on the article's talk page. It would be cool if someone could head over there and help out.--Commander Keane 21:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Request made for original author (User:Antandrus) to help research needed information. MarkBuckles (talk) 05:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popular Front (band)

I ran across this article recently. Can someone find out more about the nobility of this band and clean up or mark for CSD/AFD as needed? I would like to but I don't know enough about music to really make a good determination or not. - Hbdragon88 06:36, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arioso

I've translated Arioso from fr:Arioso. Being not a specialist in music, I thought I'd bring it to your attention, to see if it makes any sense at all! --Wonderfool 10:29, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Atwater-Donnelly

I created this article for Atwater-Donnelly, a long-established folk group in Rhode Island. Aubrey tours nationally (and internationally - my web site for her got her a gig in England because she was the first one to come up when the Englishman was looking for info). She also regularly runs workshops at places like the John C. Campbell Folk School. I'm just not sure how to correctly put all this info in the article to make it properly encyclopedic. Anybody else here know them, or know how to properly back up my claims? Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SarekOfVulcan (talk • contribs).

[edit] Touring label

Possible Neologism: Hi! I just noticed the new article touring label, which is not written in a particularly encyclopedic style. At the end of the article, it mentions that the term was coined by G. David Daniels of WCA Entertainment, who also appears to be the author of the article. (User:Ddaniels@wca-entertainment.com). If someone who is familiar with the music industry could glance over the article, and sort out whether it's describing a recognized phenomenon or just promoting WCA Entertainment, it would be great. Thanks! FreplySpang 17:58, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conducting

Everything past the history section is full of POV's and OR. Most of it should probably be deleted. MarkBuckles (talk) 05:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Resolved. Much of article has been rewritten. MarkBuckles (talk) 03:46, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Music and Mathematics

This article really needs to be expanded on for what is a huge topic. Madder 13:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Music festival

Read it and weep. Almost non-existent article, I've heard they are quite popular. meltBanana 01:04, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I've added it to Wikipedia:Requests for expansion and stubbed it, so hopefully it will get more attention now, especially considering it has well over 500 articles linking to it. Madder 19:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Embouchure

Not referenced, and past versions have received complaints from professors and students in the field. -- Zanimum 17:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nuçi's Space

This has had a notability notice almost since I began it, and I'm not sure what else to do. Could folks take a look at it? Suggestions? Aleta 09:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Dc Talk

I am trying to get this to Featured Article, and I want some help. Thanks.--CJ King 18:27, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linkin Park

I noticed that the band Linkin Park isn't covered under this project. Just thought you guys should know. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 03:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Ne'er-do-wells

I noticed the above article a week ago and tagged it for notability. In that week the notability tag has been removed and nothing in the way of references added, they've also had one of their songs deleted as non-notable. I've re-added the notability tag because the article only has one active editor and gives the appearance of being "we've got a Myspace page, lets get one on Wikipedia". Could someone from here with a better knowledge of band notability have a look at it and see if it should be marked AFD. Thanks - X201 10:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

It's up on AFD now. Garion96 (talk) 17:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MusicBrainz wikiproject

I've started a wikiproject to link applicable articles to MusicBrainz. Information on it can be found here and here. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 12:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Musical Artist Project

Is there currently a Wikiproject for Musical Artists (bands, groups, ensembles, &c)? If not, is there a specific reason or has it just not come about? If there isn't one, and there isn't a reason not to have one, then I'm proposing the creation of one. This proposal can be discussed on my user page, and if you support the creation of the project, please add you name to this list. A very preliminary pre-project page exists in my user space, here. bmearns, KSC(talk) 20:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

This project jas been officially started at Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians B.Mearns*, KSC 19:49, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How to categorise "Indigenous Australian music" or "Native American music"?

Both world music and folk music seem to poorly capture the sense of music both traditional and new played and created in the sense of say Indigenous Australian music or Native American music. Please join the discussion at Talk:Indigenous music Paul foord 14:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quality standards

I have set up a more detailed replacement for the project page's loose list of guidelines. It is also a music-specific version of Wikipedia:Cleanup. Take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/MUSTARD. Tuf-Kat 19:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is going on with the catagory of "composers?

I have noticed a great deal of edits done by Dafoeberezin3494 concernings the catagory of pages devoted to "composers". While it seems that there are a great many catagory pages such as "List of composers by name: S" and "List of Irish Composers" which are very short, there are enough composers whose names begin with "S" and enough Irish composers (as a visit to the Irish Contemporary Music Center site at [1] will attest) that these pages should eventually be full. Now that the Zarzuela composers catagory has been deleted, where are people supposed to be articles by the very good composers who are listed here? [2]

  • While some cleaning up needs to be done, I'm wondering if there isn't just a little too much going on? Could we perhaps rethink all of this and perhaps keep some of these useful catagories open, since they are going to be needed at some point? Musikfabrik 20:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New portal

I have just created Portal:Classical music and would appreciate participation, suggestions, and anything else anyone has to offer. Thanks, Dar-Ape 23:02, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

  • It looks great, definitely a good idea and has much potential. Madder 13:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Legend

Hi everyone! I already made this question to Music portal, but Madder told me it wasn't the right place. I'm an Italian Wikipedia user and I need your help since I'm going to write the articles about John Legend's albums Get Lifted and Once Again. I need to know: should I consider these two albums as the 1st and 2nd or as the 4th and 5th? I ask you this because

  • here and here there are a list of 5 albums and the chronology shows former albums, but
    • here there's the indication Years active: 2004 - present. 2004: year of Get Lifted release. Moreover,
      • here the album is indicated as the sophomore album: that is, the 2nd one.

Any help will be accepted with enthusiasm. Thanks in advance! 151.28.96.25 22:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, there's clearly a bit of confusion and some mistakes in the article, in particular confusion between albums and studio albums. I've fixed them, hope that helps. Madder 16:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Timeline of trends in music from the United Kingdom

Can the Timeline of trends in music from the United Kingdom page, and some of the pages linked from it, be rescued? I feel that these particular pages have been untouched for so long, that users have forgotten about them, so in essence they have been lost and information has been put elsewhere. Maybe it is best to delete the page altogether? --Montchav 18:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for music clip

Can someone add a music clip of December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) by the Four Seasons on the song page?
