Is anybody participating in this? I know that since Sgt Pepper's has been next on the list (1 wk), it got thirty some-odd edits by thirteen people, versus only one edit by one person in the almost 3 week prior to that. So I assume some people are following this page there? Is that right? Put some albums and comments on the list, please... Tuf-Kat 17:34, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

Can I participate on this activity? (although I should without asking). I'll be adding/reviewing/updating (to new format) infoboxes and basic infos.

Yes, you should do so without asking. But since you're asking, yes you may do these things. This project is dormant, so feel free to do whatever you want to with it. Tuf-Kat 00:51, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)


I very much approve working on Tommy by The Who, the first rock opera. Another Loophole July 9, 2005 01:16 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment of these articles for WP 1.0

Hi, I've begun assessing these articles for the WP1.0 project, with a partial listing of assessments now here. I wanted to make a couple of general points:

  1. The assessments are largely based on my rough judgement of layout, pictures, format, and length of content; it's hard for me to judge content, unless the language is atrocious. I'm also not an expert in this field, although I am familiar with most of the albums, so please take a look at my assessments - if you disagree with any please feel free to comment, or change the assessment (along with an explanation of reasons, if possible).
  2. Most of the articles do not list any references, and that limits their use. Most of these articles contain large nos. of facts, where did all this information come from? With major bands like the Beatles, there must be many well-researched books that can serve as sources of information, surely? In most longer articles, an extra picture or two (besides the standard cover picture) would also be nice, for example a concert promoting the album, the (different) cover used in France, or fans lining up to buy the album, if any of these are available.

I will try to complete the assessments soon. Thanks a lot for putting this list together, it's a great help! Walkerma 05:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Since there is no Amount in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums, How many reviews are good?

Since there is no Amount in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums guidelines, How many reviews are good? For example:

Albumbox may need more reviews, with rating directly on it."
There are four with direct ratings on there...How much is "more"? I just want to create the best type of articles I can for Wikipedia, and make them WikiProject Albums compliant. Antmusic 18:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
