[edit] Task List

Could someone update the tasks list? I'm not sure if we still need it cause a few things I think have been completed.. but I don't think I'm a good enough judge to decide whether or not they are actually good. (Aspen Coles 11:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC))

[edit] lots of info

found this [1] article off theimmortalityproject.com. its from kerrang!, tons of stuff on the band. the website also has tons of other links to articles. could be useful... Dizzydark 02:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Chemical Romance Peer Review

I have submitted the main My Chemical Romance article for a peer review. I feel that this is needed to help improve the quality of the article. I feel The Black Parade article is on the right track but the main article I feel needs some work now. The peer review is at Wikipedia:Peer review/My Chemical Romance/archive1 and any comments with how to improve the article are appreciated. It'd be nice to get some outside people looking at the article to tell us how to improve it, however any comments on how I or anyone else can help it is greatly appreciated.

[edit] Today's Featured Article page

Hi, an editor from this WikiProject has on three occasions attempted to add the My Chemical Romance article to the Featured Article queue. Unfortunately, the article is not a featured article, although I have no doubt you're all working hard to make it one in the near future, and wish you well on that. However, adding it to the queue will not make it a featured article, and may attract complaints which may prejudice the very people whose votes and help this project needs in the Featured Article Candidates process later on against doing so (I'm not an FAC reviewer, but I worked with some a while back and they are very helpful and very thorough). I have removed the "Important update! FA!" section from the front of this page. Orderinchaos 14:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. I agree. This article is no where close to being Featured Article status and that is why I submitted it for a peer review (see above). Thank you for bringing this up though and removing the notice. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 21:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

No worries - good luck with the peer review! :) Orderinchaos 07:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Archive 1

I created Archive 1. Page was getting pretty long. Looks a little better now. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 03:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MCR Collaboration of the Week

I've been thinking, this project hasn't really gotten out and done too much since the beginning and was thinking over having possible an MCR Collaboration of the Week or Month or something. This way we can focus on one article, improving it and setting a goal to reach for that article for that week or month. Just wondering what everyone feels about it. If people are willing to help out and do it then I will be willing to set everything up for it and get it started. It would be a nomination process each week or month. Just need to know if we're going to do it weekly or monthly or if we want to do it at all. But I think we really need to do something and be a project and get out and edit and improve MCR articles as a project and not just little edits alone. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 23:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pelissier

I've edited and added references for Pelissier and deleted informatiion that lacked sources. I may have done citations wrong as this is my first particpation in Wikipedia, if someone could fix them, that would be great. ~Aspen

[edit] Pictures of Band Memmbers in Uniforms?

What do people think about, instead of having different pictures for everyone, we put up the ones where their in their uniforms? Gerard Way had said somewhere that the uniforms help to untie them as a band.. I think it would look nice for the overall band profiles and than there wouldn't be such silly, casual pictures of them up.(Aspen Coles 16:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC))

We need to find images though that are fair use and that has been the issue. That is really the main issue there is a lack of pictures throughout the articles. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 21:31, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for Every Song?

I recall that all of those pages were successfully AfD'd. Perhaps we should remove that from our list of goals? --Moralis (talk) 05:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. I just removed it. – Zntrip 05:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taste of Chaos Tour 2005

I found this on Amazon.com. It’s a bunch of videos of the 2005 Taste of Chaos Tour, including some featuring My Chemical Romance. It is ordered via Amazon Unbox. I was woundering if this should be added to the disography page and (if it were to be added) were it would be added. – Zntrip 23:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Well it might either be in the DVDs section or Other Appearances. Since it isn't only them probably Other Appearances section. And since we have less notable albums and EPs might as well add it. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 00:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I think what I’ll do is this: I’ll change the “other album appearances” secion into “other appearances” and add two sub-sections called “albums” and “videos” and just put it under videos. – Zntrip 00:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, cool, sounds good to me. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 01:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Astro Zombies EP

I found this article: Astro Zombies EP. I can’t find anything on the Internet about it and therefore have resone to belive that someone is just making this up. – Zntrip 05:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

By the way, User:Vivalaandre is the user that created the page. – Zntrip 05:29, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I also can't find anything about it. It doesn't appear in any discography I can find, or the iTunes store, for what that's worth. I'm nominating it for speedy deletion. --Moralis (talk) 05:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Astro Zombies is a song by them, but an EP..I don't believe so. TeamOverload 20:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Way Home Is Through You

It says on the wikiproject page "Possibly create "My Way Home is Through You" article". It is crossed out, and under the closed tasks list, but the page does not exist. What's happened with it? The chicken lady 12:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I haven't investigated the issue yet (I will when I'm done reviewing my watchlist) but I'd assume it was deleted along with most of the MyChem song articles. --Moralis (talk) 17:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it was deleted before due to notability issue along with the rest of the songs off of The Black Parade. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 18:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Assessment

We can now assess our artcles under the WikiProject. I have edited the template at Template:WikiProject My Chemical Romance. I included a picture that was fair use of the black parade that confirmed The Black Parade album. To assess articles if you do not know please include the template on the talk page of an MCR related article with {{WikiProject My Chemical Romance|class=}} where it says "class=" please add what you believe the article to be under the assessment scale. Please be sure to review the scale before adding your assessment and please keep in mind that you must nominate featured articles and good articles. Of course all this information is for people who are not aware of how this works. Also, if a better picture or something is found or someone wants to edit the template please feel free to but please keep the assessment scale in, thank you! Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 23:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Revamp

I have been adding multiple things for this WikiProject and helping put it through a revamp sort of thing. I have added the Article Assessment Department which was created to help be a collection of our assessment information. Also I have moved the member list and added a sidebar for the WikiProject with some suggested pages we should create. I moved the member list as it was getting quite long. Everyone is still there but a majority of the people are inactive and I don't see too many discussions on this page almost making the project inactive. I think as a project we need to band together and make our contributions known and act as a project. That is why I added a departments section. We can create an Outreach Department to help recruit new members and create Newsletters to help keep everyone up to date. Also as suggested above we can have an My Chemical Romance Collaboration of the Month which can help us concentrate bringing up those B-Class Articles to Good Articles or Stub Articles to B-Class or something like that. Also I would suggest creating a Portal as well as a News page for WikiProject news and a Guidelines page for guidelines in creating new articles for the project. While my ideas may be big most of us have joined because we like My Chemical Romance, so why should they not deserve some Featured Articles? I think this project can be very successful and but I of course do not want to do it alone and I would like to have everyone's imput on ther project and where we should go with it. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 23:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

While I didn't join Wikipedia for the purpose of My Chemical Romance-related editing, it's become one of my main interests nonetheless =P I'm spending more time than is perhaps fair focusing on my RfA and MedCab cases at the moment, but as soon as I feel less hampered, I'll see where I can help out. --Moralis (talk) 23:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

That is of course all that anyone can ask, however as a project I don't feel that we have any notable contributions to our name. No Good Articles or Featured Articles. And that is just my main reason for this discussion. I think we need to have some organization and actually concentrate on fixing up MCR related articles. While the discussion isn't directed upon you personally it'd be helpful to get some free active members working on making this project into something big and having notable contributions. I think the main thing is organization which is why I suggested to create more pages and more departments and get members assigned to specific tasks instead of just running around. While this is getting work done I think if we organize ourselves a bit more we can accomplish more. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 23:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Orfen in that we should have a newsletter. Maybe we could also have an article improvement drive or something like it. mcr616 _Speak! 00:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to help out w/ the newsletter and CotM. icelandic hur ric ane #12 _(talk) 00:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying here. I think we need a lot more to show for the work we do. Lately I haven't been doing much work on MCR related articles because reverting vandalism is a minute by minute thing on the Green Day articles. It gets tiresome, you know what I mean? I would definitely participate in any documentation. I've been editor and editor in chief of many newsletters, zines, and other periodicals, so I would enjoy writing assessments or motivational essays on the articles. I could also document rumours and frequent vandals and the like. There are a lot of things I could commit to do. Just let me know what no one else wants to do and I'll pick up the slack!--JUDE ^talk 04:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

As we all seem to be in agreement that something needs to be done, I think we should pick what we would like to do. Of course multiple people can do the same thing. As I have no idea on how to create a newsletter I would suggest someone else take that up along with any other outreach aspects, the community aspect. I am probably going to work on the CotM, News, and Guidelines. A newsletter would be helpful in letting all the members know what needs to be done. Also, I think Jude's idea of documentation would be rather helpful and if you would like to start that maybe try it at a page such as Wikipedia:WikiProject My Chemical Romance/Documentation or something of the like when you are ready. We can then add that to the sidebar. I can offer any assisstence needed on something such as a Portal or the Outreach/Newsletter things but I will probably focus on the other aspects for now and keep updating my progress here. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 21:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Orfen! I will get to work on that documentation page asap. I put that I'm taking a wikibreak on my userinfo and usertalk but working on that one thing might actually help keep my mind busy. I'll work on that one, but otherwise I'm on a slight break due to the death of a very dear friend.--JUDE ^talk 04:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll help out with the newsletter. mcr616 _Speak! 17:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure how exactly to start a newsletter. I'm pretty sure there is a way to use a bot and it would be tiresome manually. Are you thinking of doing a monthly newsletter? Quarterly? Weekly? Just wondering out of curiosity really. But Icelandic Hurricane expressed an interest as well so perhaps you two can get together and work on that? Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 21:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Well since I find myself posting on Icelandic Hurricane's talk page a lot, I noticed that every once in a while there's a newsletter from WikiProject Narnia, so I figured we could maybe borrow the source code for the bot from whoever runs that project's news section. After we get the bot up and running, it should be easy to do the newsletter. I figured we'd send one out every month, just to keep everyone in the project informed. mcr616 _Speak! 21:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Borrowing... Sounds like a good plan. But the monthly idea sounds good. You can probably post it in the page in the sidebar whenever you want to work on it. Do you plan on working on the Outreach Department sort of thing too? Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 21:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Outreach ? mcr616 _Speak! 22:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Something similar probably to Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Outreach or Wikipedia:WikiProject Massively multiplayer online games/Outreach. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 22:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Okey doke. I'll start it up. mcr616 _Speak! 23:45, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

All the plans I proposed are completed and up and running. All that remains is the Documentation thing Jude proposed which will be nice to have. No need to rush though, just an update from my end. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 02:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Collaboration of the Month

I have created the Collaboration of the Month section which is located at WP:MCRCotM. Please vote on the next collaboration of the month and be sure to check back to make sure what the collaboration is. The template is also located on the main page. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 00:45, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] News

I have created the News section which is located at WP:MCR/NEWS. This will be used to provide current news to any people who view the project. Also on the page is some old history of the project. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 01:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guidelines

I have created the guidelines for article creating for MCR related articles at WP:MCR/GL. It probably could use some more so check it out and feel free to add any contributions, sections anything. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 02:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peer Review

I have finished the Peer review department. Check it out. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 02:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Teenagers (song)

I have marked this article as proposed for deletion. It is almost entirely original research. While most of us are relatively secure in the idea that Teenagers will be the next single, there are no sources that actually STATE that Teenagers will be the next single. We need an announcement from MCR or their representatives or we can't claim that we know what the next single is going to be- even if ten fansites give us release dates. Someone's undoubtedly going to point to that picture of Gerard with those cheerleaders as a better source. Please keep in mind that My Chemical Romance has not stated that it's a picture from the video shoot for Teenagers. While common sense might indicate, for a fan, that that's what we're looking at, there's no actual proof for a casual reader. We must wait for an official announcement or an actual release of the single. --Moralis (talk) 19:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

It's on the My Chemical Romance website [2] so I think that's pretty solid proof it's going to be a single, as only the singles are on there. People attending the video shoot have also agreed this, and there's dates for the song to be released to radio... So it's notable now. The original research will have to go, but we can work on that.

[edit] MCRCotM for the month of May

The My Chemical Romance Collaboration of the Month has been decided. The Black Parade will be the current collaboration for the month of May. When nominated the goal was set to try and get this article to a Good Article so we should all focus our attention onto this article and help improve in to Good Article status and more. Thanks to everyone that voted and please nominate and vote for next months collaboration here. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 05:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Matt Cortez

Hi guys! Last time I was on, someone had created a Matt Cortez article, and so I added some more info, a photo and the template. If you think it's unnecessary then please discuss, and otherwise add sources and any other info you have. Thanks! thefunkygibson^T¤C 08:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative music WikiProject Collaboration of the Week

Just so everyone is aware, the article My Chemical Romance is the current Alternative music WikiProject Collaboration of the week. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 21:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images in infobox

What does everyone think of the images in the infobox, under the singles chronology? There is no reason to illustrate (as in fair use of the image) the single and having a picture twice (the article’s picture in the chronology) is excessive at best. Whenever I remove them someone just adds them again. Does anyone have any objections to me removing them anymore? – Zntrip 00:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

No, and I will now also be on the look out for these images and will also remove them if I see them. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 00:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MCRCotM for the month of June

The My Chemical Romance Collaboration of the Month has been decided. My Chemical Romance will be the current collaboration for the month of June. When nominated the goal was set to try and get this article to a Good Article so we should all focus our attention onto this article and help improve in to Good Article status and more. Thanks to everyone that voted and please nominate and vote for next months collaboration here. Also this one was decided a little later than previously expected due to Alternative music WikiProject collaboration. Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 17:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Chemical Romance Wiki

I have created a My Chemical Romance Wiki at Wikia. If you can add anything, please do. – Zntrip 20:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zephead999

He is constantly editing the main article to say that MCR is emo, based on the fact that most people claim it to be emo. I have tried to reason that that does not detemine the musical style, but he refuses to be civil about the issue. He is suspected to be a sockpuppet. Just asking for some other people to get on the issue. Zazaban 01:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

i just checked his page, apparently hes been blocked, should keep him away for a while.Dizzydark 03:34, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dreams of Stabbing and/or Being Stabbed

What do you all thing of this article? I have mixed feelings about it. – Zntrip 19:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Portal?

Portal:My Chemical Romance is really, really ugly. Please, either redesign it, or start from scratch. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 08:16, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Restructure and write article

I've been dabbling in a lot of discographies lately and have taken some liberties in re-ordering the discography here to be more compliant with the others in affiliation with WP:ALBUM. I've added the infobox and ordered the sections according to that. I've also redone the singles table. I think the albums all need to be reformatted, but chart positions are almost absolutely essential for the albums table. I know most of you guys here probably don't like this music, but have a look at this discography article that I've been working and you'll see the kind of album table and chart structure I'm talking; it's pretty much just the same as the singles table, but I'm keen to list the certifications as well. Is anybody interested in giving me a hand with this, or am I on my own here? --linca linca 12:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
