[edit] Discussion of festival
I wanted to add a discussion of the festival so the article would have more than just the band listings. I've never contributed to Wikipedia before, so any feedback on what I wrote would be appreciated.--sschuett 20:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Why do people keep removing the "rumors" section? This is the only place to find out who may play until the official list comes out. What gives?
[edit] Ryan Adams
The addition of Ryan Adams to the list of performers who have appeared was added by a longterm vandal whose other edits are all nonsense or disinformation. it has been removed. Please vet this action if your are knowledgable. Dates added to appearances would make the list mopre credible and useful. --Wetman 04:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- Ryan Adams played at the 2002 ACL Fest ([1]) as well as on Friday night of the 2004 ACL Fest. I was in attendance. Bbatsell 05:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Images
If ANYONE has any images from any of the festivals that they would like to share with Wikipedia but doesn't know how, please feel free to post on this page or to e-mail me. Thanks! --bbatsell | « give me a ring » 15:12, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- OK, I've added one from 2004. I think a crowd shot with a view of the concert area is probably more appropriate than one of any particular artist. SteveHopson 01:41, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Shins
Not sure why Rilokinkaid keeps removing The Shins from this article, but according to the Grackle on their site they are confirmed to perform at the festival. jareha (comments) 00:09, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Changes by ACL Staff?
I've noticed a distinct clean-up on this article in past days to remove any criticism of the Festival. These changes have primarily been done by 67.67.214.99 and 199.227.30.163 The contributions to Wikipedia by both of these anonymous users has been limited to these 'happy-face' cleanups of the ACL Festival and ACL TV show pages. While I personally love both of these institutions, I think that we should recognize and work on the problems and not try to cover them up. Anyone else agree? SteveHopson 22:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- I definitely agree, Steve. And to — sadly — further support your suspicions, take a look at the details here: 67.67.214.99. jareha (comments) 23:03, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, great research Jareha. SteveHopson 23:40, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article quality
Although, it is pretty lame that the only real article heading here is "Criticisms". It paints it as a festival that is generally considered poorly done. Yet it draws thousands of repeat visitors (I assume) each year.Tenfour 04:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, the article is greatly lacking in substance. Without the one 'Criticism' section, all we really have is a massive and unorganized block of band names. I think we should completely rewrite the whole article - its a great festival and deserves a great article. SteveHopson 12:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've done a few things to reorganize the article today, but overall I don't think this article reflects the quality of the event. I want to encourage everyone to contribute to make the article better. SteveHopson 03:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External link to ACL site
I have four years worth of ACL photos posted on an ACL Tribute page on my website at http://www.stevehopson.com/ACL2005.htm I have also contributed a photo to the public domain that is posted in the ACL festival article. I'd like to add a link to my site to this article, but don't want to violate the wiki principle of no self links. What do you all think about including this link?
