Thanks for getting the article off to a good start. As far as the episodes go, do you know where to find the info regarding which episode was banned? If so, then it would probably be best to just put the specific episode number in there to avoid confusion. Thanks again. - Xaliqen 05:50, 2005 Feb 3 (UTC)
Wikinews logo
Hi McCart42,
I acted upon your request and posted a new variation of the Wikinews logo which incorporates the changes you and Mxn were asking for. Please check it out on the logo runoff vote page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews_logo_contest_voting/Runoff) (it's the last entry on the page with my vote) and if it meets with your approval, please move your vote to the improved version.
Thanks for participating in the vote. — DV 11:50, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Springfest
I agree with your comment on the creation of the page. "Springfest" is an ubiquitous event. This should most definitely be a disambig page. --149.159.26.220 02:55, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Done. See Springfest. - McCart42 22:12, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC)
Re: Music Notability
Probably the best place to express your concerns about the current Notability and Music Guidelines is to post a message on its talk page. Thanks. Zzyzx11 | Talk 15:37, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Everything does not belong on wikipedia with it's own entry. Let me suggest a solution. Create a page whatever college bands and then list all of the bands on that page with a writeup. I'm thinking that would pass the test, especially if you build that page as a section on the main college page first and then split it out when it gets too large. Also, I'm not an admin so I can't delete. I'm just a simple user who can only point out problems. Latly I try to use one of the importance tags, when posible, before a VfD. It gives the writer a better chance to prove the case. Vegaswikian 16:33, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines is getting a little too specific for that page, so I'll just give you my 2 cents directly. I think info on CWRU student bands (Minimum Requirements, Zugzwang, etc.) should be a section of the main CWRU article, with a little info on each of the bands, and none of these groups should have their own article (as they will probably be deleted quickly). Then you can have another section about other bands that have performed at Case (and maybe label that one "music scene") which can include The Clarks, JFJO, M83, etc etc and you can add Guster, Everclear, O.A.R., Nada Surf, Detachment Kit and check with U.P.B. for other non-Case groups that have performed there (including those before your time. . . . . . ;-)) Those bands can or do have their own articles and you can wikilink to them in that section. I see you are the original creator of some of those bands' articles, and as I said, you could help "prove" their notability by expanding those articles.
I do think that a separate article on the "music scene" could be considered kind of questionable; that "scene" exists solely for the purposes of entertaining the students, especially undergrads, which is a pretty small group of people. If you're worried about making the main CWRU article "overburdened and awkward" by adding all this info, relax. Wikipedia is in a constant state of expansion, so another editor (or maybe you) can fix that by expanding the rest of the main CWRU article. Or, maybe, a group of people will think that that info just shouldn't be in there, and they'll erase it. When or if that time comes, you can discuss it on the Talk page and come to a consensus. Wikipedia articles don't have to be perfect ASAP.
Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines is only a set of guidelines, not a "hard and fast" policy. Plus it's a relatively recent project that's still in a state of flux; you'll notice that the only guidelines on the main page concern bands and artists - notability guidelines for genres, songs and albums are still being worked on on the discussion page.
Also, AFAIK, the MusicWikis you mentioned are not officially connected with Wikipedia; they just use the same open source software for their creation. If anything, they may be "mirrors" of Wikipedia, which I think means they tend to pull info from here. I'm not a big computer-guy, so I could be wrong about all this. Look on the Main Page for a list of official Wikipedia sister projects.
Hope this helps, and have fun. 4.159.116.221 15:41, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) um, above comments were from me accidentally not logged in. . . . . whoops. Soundguy99 15:45, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

CWRU bands
Greetings! I'm closing the VfD for the Case Western Reserve music scene article, which was determined to delete. I see you created articles on several bands from the university, and I know these wouldn't survive if listed, if the umbrella article was deleted too. What I would suggest doing is adding a short writeup of the music scene, perhaps drawing from those articles, in the Music section of the Case Western Reserve article. Wikipedia just isn't the place for detailed articles on small college bands. I have deleted the ones that were redirects to the music scene article, and am about to list the others on VfD, where you are welcome to make the case for their notability. I hate to see your efforts wasted, but you do have time before the VfD ends to find a better place for your writeups; I believe wikicities might have what you're looking for.

- Greetings again! Truthfully, I don't know where it belongs. It seems to me that most articles of that sort end up getting merged into the article of the college where it came from; I don't see why a writeup of the music scene *wouldn't* belong as a section of the main CWRU article, but that's my personal opinion and not based on looking at previous cases. A lot of VfDs for student clubs and associations end up with the result "merge into main university article". I would personally be bold and add it, though I wouldn't create links for the bands. Try posting on the talk page of the university article to see what other interested parties think—I can only give you my opinion. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 18:14, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
List of Ohio State University people
Hello. I see you've forked part of the Ohio State University page into List of Ohio State University people. I was thinking that a better title would be List of Ohio State attendees. I This title sounds more encyclopedic and professional in my opinion. I was wondering if you agree. I thought it would be best to ask you before I moved the page, out of courtesy. -T2X 18:29, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
Inclusion not Deletion
(AIW) can you take a look at Wikipedia "apartheid"? There is a movement to delete a two-word inclusion that is fact and true. It's gotten to the point that everyone is focused on the disputing editors and not the edit itself.
" Deletionists are disputing the following statement: "South Africa was settled initially by the Dutch, Germans and French from the 17th century onwards. English, other European settlers, and Diaspora Jews followed in the 19th century." This statement is true, and it therefore should not be deleted.69.217.125.53 15:10, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
