User:PhilipBembridge/WikiProject Music with Place Names

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Music with Place Names WikiProject!

[edit] Goals and background

Linking Music and Geography

Firstly a simple goal, to tag every piece of music with a place name in the title (including songs, albums and bands) with {{Music_With_Place_Name_Navbox}} which automatically categorizes the article into: Category:Music > Category:Music with Place Name in Title then one of these three subcategories:

Songs with Place Name in Title
Albums with Place Name in Title
Bands with Place Name in Title

Next to move onto tagging all music with geographical data, for example:

Where bands come from
Where bands/tours have performed
Where music was composed

It has been suggested that the categories contribute to overcategorization, a list was suggested. However:

A list would have to be done manually (unless some one makes a bot, I haven't a clue how!)
The variafiability has already been contested because of What_wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory however, I believe that a list like this would prove useful to some readers

[edit] Scope

This Project covers all music related articles
The project covers all articles about bands, artists and songs containing place names, real or fictional
To expand too cover more subcategories, (?by expanding the template)

[edit] Current tasks

Bug! (Oh no!): some articles are categorised under Category:Song with Place Name in Title and some are under Category:Songs with Place Name in Title it could just be that wikipedia hasn't recategorized them yet after I changed the template
Bug! (Oh no!): for some reason User:Philipbembridge/Sandbox is categorised as well! Fixed!
Identify articles needing tagging (by googling etc.) and list them below:
- List of bands named after places I have got down to Alcatrazz PhilB ~ ^T/_C 14:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
~~Remove bug which lead to incorrect page location for the Place variable~~ Done, Note the "Place" variable is Case Sensitive now

[edit] Suggested tasks

Place tasks that you think might benefit the project below:

Lists on the internet (& wikipedia) of music with place names:
Develop template for use with songs about places which don't mention the place in the title
Develop functionality for multiple place names in the same song for example:
- From New York to LA by Patsy Gallant
- From Paris to Berlin by Infernal (band)
Develop a way of including songs which sound like place names for example Californication by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
and maybe for songs (etc.) which insinuate places like Down Under (song) by the Men at Work
add functionality for places which have a different wikipedia page to the name of the place e.g. Aberfeldy, Scotland
Clean up categorization! (look at this messy catagory!)
Suggested categary: Music By Location, with subcategories for things like these:
- and this one
- aand this one
Maybe add location data to these: Category:Music events
- and these
Consider a template for these: Category:Songs by country
