[edit] Title

I moved this article from Austin music scene because that is the normal title for articles like this, and is listed at the Wikipedia:music encyclopedia topics list. Tuf-Kat 03:54, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I added some info about the Austin Music Network because I felt it was important to the history of the subject. Since it was a lot of writing, I created a new sub-heading, Television, and moved the information about the Austin City Limits TV show to appear under the new heading. I did not remove any information from the page, only moved it. Superbo 04:48, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Musical Acts

The list of musical acts is attracting quite a few vanity edits. I am going to add an editor's note (note that is only visible when editing) kindly asking people not to add themselves or groups/people that do not have Wikipedia articles. An example of this kind of editor's note can be found on any date page ([[February 28, September 5) in the "Births" section. I am also going to clear out all the red links.

[edit] Venues list

Despite it's intro that it's a "short list of notable venues", the venues list has grown to ridiculous proportions. I'm going to trim everything out that does not have a Wikipedia article. Natalie 01:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

So, unfortunately, this would only leave us with a list of two. Suggestions? Natalie 01:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

• • Umm, we could write articles for the notable ones? Your cleanup is an improvement even with only two venues. TheMindsEye 03:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I suppose that's true, we could just write articles. It might be good, though, if instead of just a list we could write something about the local venues - the history, the culture, etc. I'm not sure where to find this information though. Natalie 17:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
