[edit] 2 Star Tabernacle and Goober & The Peas

Hey all, Since Jack was in both, should I list them in the 'associated acts' even though they don't have Wikipedia pages, just to promote extra knowledge for readers? --Tim010987 (talk) 1:13 AM, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

No if they are not notable we don't list them. As for promoting extra knowledge, see WP:INDISCRIMINATE. We are not an indiscriminate collection of information. The point of that section is to include links that could further the understanding of the reader on related subjects. indopug (talk) 08:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CALLING ALL WHITE STRIPES FANATICS

I am currently in the long-term process of improving this article to good then featured status but I can't do it alone. The intro paragraph has already been taken care of, but the body-paragraphs could use "wikifying." If you can at all help, the major problems are that statements in the body paragraphs need sourcing and the prose is jumpy and does not flow well. Also, certain topics are omitted and others are covered too in depth. The sections on the first two album require definite expansion. If you are a buff, you will recognize where this error is present (I can't name specific places; it's just a general feel I get). So any help is appreciated. You might use The Smashing Pumpkins or Sex Pistols articles (which have FA status) as templates for success, I guess. Thanks! :) --Tim010987 (talk) 11:33 AM, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
