[edit] Linked songs

I just gave away the better part of an hour and a half to linking all the discussion pages for the songs to the WP rating thing. I didn't bother with some of the more minor cover songs from the early days, but bigger covers (Time Is On My Side, You Gotta Move) were linked. Stan weller 05:55, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signed up to the project, got a question to ask

What makes every single song from Sticky Fingers notable? I'm just wondering. Most other albums do not have articles about every song from a particular album, although people working on articles about other classic rock bands such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin seem to have done the same...--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 22:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

It's a notable album. I wouldn't do the same for Steel Wheels. Mind you a lot of the songs are unfinished (as you can see form the lack of sources on "Sway"). Stan weller 08:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
I think it could be better to merge the content about individual songs (unless they were released as a single) into the main album article, which would make the main album article(s) longer and avoid stubby song articles, giving us a better chance of FA/GA album articles by the band.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 15:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
A good point, but some songs not released as singles deserve their own page. What I've noticed most album articles lacking are quotes from the band, critics, etc. Articles for the songs open up more avenues, particularly songs that have been covered by other artists. It keeps things neat. But I agree that with certain songs it might be reasonable. Stan weller 09:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] We should make a "This user is a member of WikiProject The Rolling Stones" userbox - I'd have that on my userpage

Just saying. It'd be useful, what do you think?--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 19:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Created one. You may want to use and update it, Stan Weller.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 03:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh good job. I'll add it to my page. Stan weller (talk) 13:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] seeking feedback

i've been working on some of the RS pages, mainly Jagger/Richards and Ron Wood - if someone has some time to have a look and leave some feedback on the discussion pages there, that would be cool. maybe in particular the question of renaming the Ron Wood page could use some consensus - he does seem to consistently prefer "Ronnie" these days.

also: if someone could let me know whether the Keith page has calmed down enough to make it worth working on, i'd be grateful. i feel like i can contribute a lot on that subject, but i value my digestion too much to get involved in conflicts about what he's ingesting, etc. :] thanks & swing on ...

[edit] 2000 Light Years from Home

Hi. I've had to revert this article to a previous version - the lyrics had been added, then removed, but the removal took the categories etc. with it. However, I also changed the length to that on the most recent version - considerably shorter than it had been previously. Can someone please review and/or correct the article to ensure I haven't put wrong information on it ? Thanks :-) CultureDrone (talk) 07:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
