[edit] Separate entries for Movement/Fuse-In?

If anyone has the time and inclination, it might be worth creating new, distinct pages for Movement and Fuse-In. Users who search for those names at Wikipedia are not likely to be directed to this DEMF entry.

Redirects would be sufficient. —mjb 07:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Figures

Can someone provide sources proving that the attendance went from 1.5 M in 2000 to less than 45,000 in 2005?

Sources were articles in the Detroit Free Press which have since been archived, but are still available through pay services. At the time I linked to the articles, they were still available. One from 2003 had said that city officials admitted the earlier estimates were unreliable. —mjb 07:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, if no one else gets around to it, I'll eventually rewrite the citations into more than just a URL. In the meantime, try http://web.archive.org/. Also, sign your posts. mjb 07:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carl Craig / Carol Marvin edit war

Come on, folks. Writing in the third person does not make this thing encyclopedic. This article has been hit several times this year by straight-up editorializing. This is not a message board. I encourage other editors to Be Bold and agressively remove controversial statements relating to the roles of Marvin and Craig. I'm not touching it at the moment just for lack of time. —mjb 07:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming

Sorry but this entry should be renamed as Detroit's Electronic Music Festival. Check the official website: http://www.demf.com/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by SuburbanKnight (talk • contribs) 20:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
