Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Noticeboard/Old

This is not strictly a request, more of a question about whether an article should be created. I'm going to work on links disambiguation for links to medley. If you look at the disambiguation page, there is a brief music-related definition. I don't think those two or three lines are enough for a Wikipedia page (as opposed to a Wiktionary entry). However, I am not a musician & can't write an article. This leaves two options:

I link all the music-related medley links to the relevant Wiktionary definition.
Someone writes a non-trivial (i.e., more than a bare-bones definition) article for Medley (music) so I can point the relevant Wikipedi links there.

I'll watch this page for a week or so, and if no one answers, I'll start linking to Wiktionary. Thanks! Ling.Nut 21:04, 20 August 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 !

Record shop and Online music store should fulfill this request. Λυδαcιτγ 00:01, 5 April 2007 (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?

There doesn't seem to be a record of this page, but List of notable cover versions should take care of it. Λυδαcιτγ 00:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music-related articles in need of help

[edit] Unknown music genre

I am looking of a definition of a music/song genre, a kind of "urban musical folklore". Its distinctive feature is that it is related with a specific modern profession or occupation. (I say "modern", to distinguish the most obvious example of "cowboy songs" of country music). These songs usually target a particular professional audience, heavyly loaded with professional slang and humor.

Some examples:

Les Horribles Cernettes, "the one and only High Energy Rock Band" from CERN.
Filk music
The one I am particularty interested and trying to look up. In late 1960s or early 1970s, IBM released an LP full of parodies of pop songs with context related to computers. I remember two of them:
- Press the Magic Button
- Memory D'Amour (a pun on Melodie D'Amour by The Ames Brothers)

The latter one goes something like,

I've bought a terminal

The day I lost my gal

... etc.

Now I have girls galore

I my new mem'ry core

I put them on disk file

To store them for a while... etc.

Refrain:

Memory d'amour,

Put the core to the printer

Or to the display

Please without delay.

I'd very much like to see two things: the article about the genre and the info about this IBM music. Surprisingly, I cannot find its traces in the internet. mikka (t) 20:25, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Technical help needed

Would someone with a background in technical music writing please take a look at Talk:Dixie (song)? The source I used to write most of the main "Dixie (song)" article gives a quite technical description of the song, which flies right over my head. I've bulleted the points he makes on the talk page in the hopes that someone who understands his terminology will translate into common English and determine whether any of it deserves inclusion in the main article. Thanks! BrianSmithson 15:57, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Peer comments on Tool (band)

Hi folks, I would like to ask you a favor: I have been working on the Tool article for almost a year now and would like to pass it on to Peer review pretty soon. Before doing so, I would be interested in any qualified comments by co-editors who have already written good or featured articles in the same field. Like I said, any comments are welcome. Of course, if anyone is interested for my comments in exchange, I'd be more then glad to help out. Best wishes. --Johnnyw 19:33, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

That's a pretty... complete... article there. I haven't had a chance to go through the whole thing yet, but my initial reaction is that the intro is way too big and rather messy to read. It's one of the dangers of good citations, I'd be willing to bet. I'd move to have the intro cut down to the basics and move the important citations to the body of the article in some fashion, but that's an initial reaction; I'll give it a proper read later. Xinit 23:43, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In need of some assisatnce - Lists

I am almost finished fixing the naming conventions on the List of songs about drugs page, and have found similar musical lists which need fixing in the same way and don't think I can do it on my own as I may go crazy. If anyone would like to help me then I'd be very thankful. I'm asking this here because people involved in this WikiProject will be more likely to know how to make the needed changes. Here's the pages I have in mind so far (and what needs to be done):

~~List of songs about tequila (italics need changed to quote marks around songs)~~

Done. Took two seconds to change the italics to quotes, and a few more seconds to check the diff. Λυδαcιτγ 21:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

~~List of songs under one minute in length (quote marks around song names)~~

Done. This one took a lot longer because of the varying formats. Λυδαcιτγ 23:16, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

~~List of songs over fifteen minutes in length (removal of excessive linking - a lot of entries link to the band name, even though they are in a section which the name links there already)~~

Done. Λυδαcιτγ 19:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

~~List of Halloween songs (quote marks around song names)~~

Done. Λυδαcιτγ 04:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

~~List of Christmas number one singles (quote marks)~~

Done. The articles pertaining to it could use some work, its not very through. CraigP 02:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

~~List of songs about Manchester (quote marks)~~

Done. Λυδαcιτγ 16:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

~~List of songs about Omaha, Nebraska (quote marks, and perhaps changing around of the artist and song name)~~

Done. Didn't change around the names, though - I can if it makes sense. Λυδαcιτγ 16:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

~~List of patriotic songs (quote marks again)~~

Done. Λυδαcιτγ 23:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

~~List of songs about World War II (quote marks, this is a bit shorter than the others)~~

Done. CraigP 02:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

~~List of Beatles songs by singer (quote marks)~~

Done. Λυδαcιτγ 02:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I also need a second opinion on the List of songs about drugs article about changing all the — marks to "by". Aa you can see, it's a lot of work to be done and I'm sure there are more lists that also need work. I severly doubt I can do this alone. Tartan 16:26, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you have Firefox? If so, use User:Cacycle/editor - it'll save you a ton of time. I'll get started on the simple search-and-replace stuff. Λυδαcιτγ 21:03, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't. I'm not even sure what that is (the Cacyle thing)... *laughs nervously* Tartan 21:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. Λυδαcιτγ 21:20, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

All done! Praise User:Cacycle/editor. Λυδαcιτγ 19:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

claps* Thanks very much! I haven't been around much to edit over the summer holidays here... it's a very lazy time for me. Tartan 13:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crisis (band) vs. Crisis (British band)

According to the disambiguation page, the article Crisis (band) should cope with the US heavy metal group, but actually, both Crisis (band) and Crisis (British band) speak of that British punk rock group... Can somebody help? -- 20:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Fixed! Check it all over if you like (had to sort out the disambig page as well as the 2 articles) and make any modifications you think are needed. Madder 00:45, 29 September 2006 (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] 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)

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)

Speedy deleted (A7). Λυδαcιτγ 02:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[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] 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)

[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)
