Joining and lne-ups/rock family trees

Hi all! I guess I am joining by talking about my interest here as well as putting the membership template and userbox on my user page, right? So, my interest is The Beatles line-ups, which is what brought me here. I've tried communicating in places that I thought were right, but I haven't got much, if any, feedback. I hope I get some here. I am very interested in creating rock family trees for not only the Beatles and all the solo incarnations for each member, but also for all music groups. I've been adding to the afforementioned line-ups article, however it really isn't a tree. Also, I've found a Wikipedia help page on creating regular family trees. Please help. I'm not sure if I'm doing any of this right. Thanks. --luckymustard 13:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello luckymustard and welcome aboard! We have a Participants list at Wikipedia:WikiProject_The_Beatles#Participants so please just scribble your name at the bottom of that and you're a member. I'm afraid I don't personally know much about family trees so I can't really help there (perhaps someone else can) but if you want any general wiki help just give me a shout. --kingboyk 13:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians/Article guidelines for a partial tree example/method that we are discussing there. I think that method 7 is a pretty good candidate for being used either in place of or in addition to The Beatles line-ups, but it isn't done yet. Thanks. --luckymustard 18:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

"links to copyvio"

Mikeblas (talk • contribs) just went through all (I presume) of the song articles and removed the external links to such resources as lyrics and videos on YouTube, with the comment of "remove links to copyvio" or similar. Especially affected was Get Back, as the links to resources about "No Pakistanis" were also removed. Thoughts on this? (Granted, I had wanted us to standardize a website for all of the song lyrics, but that's another matter....) —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 05:20, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't like lyrics sites links much either, but it's simple - if he's removed useful info, revert it (as I've just done). I note also that he's picked Beatles articles only for his crusade which seems a bit targetted, but there ya go! :) --kingboyk 05:34, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

He has since reverted it back, but this time mentioned it on the talk page, as well. I personally don't agree with such strict interpretation, but I'm not going to get directly involved. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 09:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I've replied on Talk:Get Back Talk:Get Back (song) as there does seem to be some legitimate reason to retain those links. On straightforward links to illegal lyrics sites I agree with him.

A possible solution would be to work the lyrics/links to the controversial lyrics only into footnotes, and leave them removed from external links. --kingboyk 09:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, actually, you've replied on Talk:Get Back (song), but OK. I'll watch from sidelines. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 09:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Grrr! You're right. --kingboyk 09:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

On Get Back (song) I've added a link to google which searches for Beatles Get Back lyrics. I don't see how he can object to this, what do you think?simonthebold 10:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Do members think Talk:Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ought to be tagged with our banner? --kingboyk 12:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I would say yes.... A good chunk of the article focuses on The Beatles and the events that went on in India with them. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 21:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've done it. Thanks for the reply. --kingboyk 22:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
