Hi, Heaven's Wrath :) I'm sure you're aware that we have a backlog of over 2000 articles that are tagged for the Musicians WikiProject. I've been working all month to assess them, but I've only managed to do about 600 in that time. Though this category will probably never be completely empty, I was hoping we could at least get the number of articles under control. I propose a day or possibly a week dedicated to fighting this backlog. I would really appreciate feedback on this idea. Happy Holidays, Thereen 03:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that is a great idea! As more people have began tagging articles with the Musicians parameter, the backlog has grown very large. It seems like a good task to start off the new year. We could definitely set up a Week of Assessment. Since January 1 is a holiday (and many people might be away from their computers), we could aim for the week of the eighth. (That way we could try to organize a WP:WPBIO-wide assessment drive. – Heaven's Wrath   ^Talk  21:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect! I like the idea of including the biography project. Should we just drop a message on their talk page or do you know of a more efficient way to handle it? As for the members of our project, should we put a message directly on the our Project Page, and if so, when? Thereen 02:56, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's first see if WP:BIOGRAPHY wants to join in. I just left a message over on its discussion page. (direct link). If you want to add anything or add some support, let's continue the discussion over there for now.

For the Musicians project, we can add a simple message to the {{WikiProject Musicians header}} template. Once we decide on a time, I can do that. – Heaven's Wrath   ^Talk  04:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When shall we begin? Thereen 03:35, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully, soon. Do you have a specific time you want to start? We probably have enough time to spread the word for a January 14-20 week. It does not seem like too many people noticed the idea on WP:BIOGRAPHY, but let's try it with only Musicians. Once we decide on a time, we could put together some directions on a subpage and then spam some of the members talk pages. I will also put up a banner on the project's header. – Heaven's Wrath   ^Talk  03:40, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The week of the 14th to the 20th sounds ideal, some of our highschool members (myself included) will have exams coming at the end of the month so we don't want to leave it longer than that if possible. Thereen 03:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you left a note at the top of Wikipedia:Esperanza/Calendar that it is being moved to Wikipedia:Calendar. What's the basis for that and how is it planned? Need a hand? What's the thinking? Steve block Talk 18:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC) Ah, I see, it's to do with the Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee. Fair enough, that was the thinking at mfd too, I'll have a go at the moving after dinner. Steve block Talk 18:42, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was planning on just taking out "Esperanza" from ever page. (i.e. Wikipedia:Esperanza/Calendar/January/1 → Wikipedia:Calendar/January/1) If you want to help me with the page moves, that would be fine. I will work on the actual page Wikipedia:Calendar, so no worries there. I just wanted to move most of the days before I set up a page there. – Heaven's Wrath   ^Talk  18:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Back from dinner. I think Wikipedia:Birthday Committee/Calendar might be a better destination. Thoughts? Steve block Talk 19:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Discussion on irc felt Wikipedia:Calendar was too broad so I've gone with subpages of the birthday committee. Apologies. Steve block Talk 21:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I still would prefer Wikipedia:Calendar. That way it would seem more open. It would even give it room to expand. (More: Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee#Esperanza) – Heaven's Wrath   ^Talk  22:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's any issue with expanding its scope, we're basically placing it under the Birthday Committee's stewardship, but it was felt that it would have too broad a remit in the Wikipedia space without some sort of guiding hand overseeing its direction. Bear in mind that certain dates could become the subject of POV pushing, national days and the like, and if the calendar was kept in the open it would be harder to point to an established framework which governed what dates would be added. Apologies once again. Steve block Talk 22:24, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We might have to wait for the results of the BDC's own MfD before continuing. – Heaven's Wrath   ^Talk  05:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do you describe your leadership role in WP Musicians? TonyTheTiger 17:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I ask because I have become the leader/administrator for The Chicago Collaboration. I am trying to determine how to describe myself. Right now I say something like de facto administrator. TonyTheTiger 17:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would just say "Project Coordinator." – Heaven's Wrath   ^Talk  20:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi:

Thanks for making my foray into Wiki-land pleasant!

No, not saying that they're one necessarily influenced another, just that there should be some type of link, because of the way they play.

If you look at Stanley Jordan's page, there's extensive references to other types of unconventional guitar players, and not an explicit mention of one influencing another.

Just thought a cross-reference would be a good idea.

Peace,

Abe

Dear Cleanup Taskforce member,

I noticed that you've listed yourself as a member who's interested in copy-editing. I'm a member of the League of Copyeditors, a project dedicated to managing the sizable backlog of articles needing a copy-edit. We're always looking for new members, and you'd make a great addition to the project! We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you're interested, you can help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

• Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the ready for final proofread section.
• Select a different article to proofread from the ready for final proofread section.

Thanks, and happy editing! BuddingJournalist 07:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You had commented in January about the need to clear some of the backlog on WP:Bio assessments. I wanted to let you know that we have created an assessment drive, and we'd love to have you help out if you get the chance.Mocko13 02:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Template_talk:Cleanup_taskforce_notice#TOC. 20:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To my dismay, I have now seen what has happened to the Elvis Presley article some days ago. User:Northmeister has removed several paragraphs from the article in order to cut it from a very biased point of view. See [1]. He himself states on his user page, "I've been a lifelong fan of Elvis Presley." Therefore, he removed most material that included some critical remarks concerning the singer's life. The article now reads as if it has been chiefly written by Elvis fans.

There are still expressions in the article that clearly show the dominance of biased fan views:

• "He remains a pop icon thirty years after his death..."

Query: is this really true? In an article entitled "Getting today's teens all shook up over Elvis", Woody Baird says, "Teenagers in the 1950s and '60s went wild over Elvis Presley, much to the consternation of their parents, but kids in the new millennium aren't so stirred by rock 'n' roll's original rebel. 'I can't try to sell somebody Elvis who doesn't know who he is . . . that he's not just some guy who's been gone for 30 years,' said Paul Jankowski, chief of marketing for Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc." Therefore, "the multimillion dollar Elvis business will try to connect with a new generation of teenage fans." They endeavor to show up more film clips, photos and other material from the vast Presley archives online. 'We will take our MySpace page and we will focus on expanding our number of friends on MySpace, that kind of thing,' Jankowski said..." However, Baird concludes, "Moving Elvis content online should be easy; making Elvis cool again will be more difficult. After all, for most kids, Elvis is the music of their parents' - or grandparents' - generation." See [2]

• "In a musical career of over two decades, Presley set numerous records including, concert attendance, television ratings, and records sales, while became one of the best-selling artists in music history."
• "His shows in Vegas were known for their highly energetic performances—both vocally and physically—and his trademark jump-suits and capes, which added to the drama. His concert performances were staggering in quantity, numbering 1,145 in the eight years from 1969 to 1977. He continued to perform to sold-out auditoriums around the U.S. until his sudden death in 1977."
• "By 1957 Presley was the most famous entertainer in the world."

Further changes suggest that fans now dominate the article:

• A new section entitled "Southern star" has been created.
• The section concerning the influence of his manager Colonel Tom Parker which was correctly entitled Presley and his manager "Colonel" Tom Parker has been renamed and some critical passages have been removed. For inexplicable reasons, the section is now entitled "American icon".
• There are now two different sections in the article stressing Elvis being a US mega star: "American idol" and "American icon".
• On the other hand, more critical paragraphs such as A danger to American culture?, Political beliefs and The Elvis cult and its critics have been deleted.
• The Death and burial section has been removed.
• The Elvis lives? section is still in the article.
• etc. etc.

Several well-sourced details have been totally removed from the older version of the article, for instance:

- from the Early life section:

• "Vernon Presley is described as "taciturn to the point of sullenness"^[1] and as "a weakling, a malingerer, always averse to work and responsibility,"^[2] whereas his mother, Gladys, was "voluble, lively, full of spunk."^[3] Priscilla Presley describes her as "a surreptitious drinker and alcoholic. When she was angry, "she cussed like a sailor."^[4]"
• "Neither Gladys nor Vernon had finished elementary school. The result was one "menial job after another. One run-down apartment after the next, barely enough money to put food on the table for a family of three."^[5]
• The little boy "grew up a loved and precious child. He was, everyone agreed, unusually close to his mother."^[6] "Much has been written about the unusually close relationship between Elvis and his mother, often with the suggestion of something unhealthy afoot," because "Elvis, sole survivor of a pair of twins delivered by Gladys, would reap the love and attention normally given two boys."^[7] His mother "worshipped him," said a neighbor, "from the day he was born." Elvis himself said, "My mama never let me out of her sight. I couldn't go down to the creek with the other kids."^[8]
• Interestingly, the following passage is still to be found in the article: "On the evening of April 5, 1936, the Presley's survived the fourth deadliest tornado in US history that took 233 lives."

- from the Death and burial section (which has now been totally removed):

• On August 16, 1977, at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, Presley was found lying on the floor of his bedroom's bathroom by his fiancee, Ginger Alden, who had been asleep. A stain on the bathroom carpeting was found that indicated "where Elvis had thrown up after being stricken, apparently while seated on the toilet. It looked to the medical investigator as if he had 'stumbled or crawled several feet before he died'."^[9]

In the section concerning the influence of Elvis's manager Colonel Parker, which was correctly entitled Presley and his manager "Colonel" Tom Parker but is now wrongly entitled American icon, these well-sourced critical remarks have been removed:

• Parker's success led to Presley expanding the "Colonel's" management contract to an even 50/50 split. Over the years, much has been written about "Colonel" Parker, most of it critical. "Endlessly deferring to his manager," says John Harris, the singer "watched his own career dive first into B-movie schmaltz and thence towards the dead-end that was Las Vegas."^[10] Marty Lacker, a lifelong friend and a member of the Memphis Mafia, says he thought of Parker as a "hustler and scam artist" who abused Presley's reliance on him. Priscilla Presley admits that "Elvis detested the business side of his career. He would sign a contract without even reading it."^[11] This would explain the strong influence the Colonel had on Presley. Nonetheless, Lacker acknowledged that Parker was a master promoter.^[12]

The last passage now reads:

• On September 9, 1956, at his first of three appearances on the Sullivan show, Presley drew an estimated 82.5% percent of the television audience, calculated at between 55-60 million viewers. On his third and final appearance (January 6, 1957) on the The Ed Sullivan Show, Sullivan, apparently very impressed by Presley, pointed to him and told the audience "This is a real decent, fine boy. We've never had a pleasanter experience on our show with a big name than we've had with you ... You're thoroughly all right."

Significantly, this additional remark has been omitted:

• However, it has also been said that Presley's manager orchestrated the compliment in exchange for permitting Presley to appear, after Sullivan had earlier publicly stated his refusal to allow Presley on his program.

The Drug abuse section is now part of the Controversy surrounding death section, despite the fact that there is no controversy about this abuse of drugs which took place during the singer's lifetime.

References to Elvis's relationships and the Memphis Mafia have been excluded from the text, and the sections on The Elvis cult and its critics and the FBI files on Elvis have been totally removed. This is not acceptable. May I ask you, therefore, to have a closer look at what has happened with this biographical article. Thank you. Onefortyone 23:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would a paper on McAlster Penitentiary be a good theme to write about for my English 102 Class. We are currently reading the grapes if the Wrath and I am having trouble finding a good theme!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashmadsad (talk • contribs) 23:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is actually funny that I saw this, since I don't really edit anymore. I was just browsing some music. Anyway, I would go with anything on Sparknotes. There is some good information to start with. I looked at one of my presentations for that book, and the only other theme was the Christian one. Jim Casey --> JC = Jesus Chrsit. There were a lot of hints that he was a Jesus character, and I had found some Bible passages to fit with it.

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 04:39, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:The Phantom Menace (Ultimate Edition) ost.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
