[edit] Archives

There are two archive pages. Before going into a discussion about whether jungle is drum & bass, please read Archive 1, just about every argument for and against was exhausted there.

The second archive mostly chronicles the changes in this article in 2006.

160kbs of archive in total.

Big up! --Dustek 10:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kool FM

I've added much needed info on the London pirate Jungle DnB radio station Kool FM. By reading the main article I'm sure you'll agree with me that comment is due. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Markieman234 (talk • contribs) 04:27, 3 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Links

The DNB Arena and Dogs on Acid links lead to reference materials. Dogs On Acid is in itself a phenomen worthy of encyclopedic entry. Rolldabeats is a database. --Dustek 11:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consistency

If the article uses "drum and bass" throughout, don't start using "Drum and Bass" (except where appropriate, as a subgenre name or title). --Dustek 11:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abbreviations

All of the common abbreviations of drum and bass, such as DnB, dnb, drum & bass, drum n bass are of encyclopedic interest since they are names widely used for the subject. They also help to lead readers to the article, for instance if they type dnb into the wiki search. --Dustek 11:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bringing this article forward

Correcting grammar and spelling is worthwhile but to really increase the quality of this article, you (that means you!) has to put some proper work in.

The article needs more pictures and more media. That means uploading material, labelling it and putting it into the text.

The article also needs to be read by somebody fresh to its content to clean up inconsistencies (such as usage of names) and POV.

I put a lot work into this article last year and I would appreciate somebody doing the same this year. --Dustek 11:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Archiving this talk page

Any objections to my archiving the first half of this talk page? --Dustek 11:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

In the lack of dissent or discussion, I'm archiving. --Dustek 10:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
