| Top 200+ Songs I'm on a mission to find out what the worlds favorite songs of all time (any genre now). What I want you to do is to tell me on my talk page (click here) what your 10 favorite songs are. Depending on how many people put the same song in their list, that song moves closer to the number 1 spot. The one rules are that you can't vote for more than three songs of the same artist, you can only vote for english songs, and the artist has to have a page on Wikipedia. I break all the times, and if you feel a song was unfairly ranked, you could tell me on my talk page and I might listen. Participation is needed and a report of the twenty top songs at the time will be on my user page and the full list has a link at the top of this survey's section. If you have any questions or you want to submit your favorites post it on my talk page. Long live ROCK N' ROLL.RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck |

[edit] Polls:
Hi. I'm just sending out a message for a new study I will be undertaking soon. It will involve surveys & polls to gather information & trends of editors on Wikipedia & other subjects. The data gathering will involve yourself recieving a questionaire on your talk page for you to fill out. I will then collect your questionaire & combine it with data from other editors. If you would like to be a part of this experiment, or know of someone who does, place a "Yes" or "No" below this message. Remember, it's only for fun & you can choose not to fill out all or parts of your questionaire once they arrive. Have a nice day...

Hi everyone. If this is your first time filling out a survey, read this. To fill out a questionaire sheet, simply send me a post to my talk page, clearly stating your choice for each answer. For example: For Question 1, you might choose to place on the message, "Q1: A)" or "Question 1: Choice A." etc etc. It's up to you, as long as I get the general jist of what your choices are. You have around 1 week to return a survey sheet, but late entrie's will be accepted.
Remember however, your personal choices may be read whilst they are on my talk page. I will understand if you don't wish to answer some or all of the survey due to this. For this reason I have also placed an "Abstain" choice for each question. Try & answer truthfully, or don't answer at all if you can't.
However, your personal choices will not be expressed on the survey's outcome, instead it will be part of a larger finding, such as "60% of people eat chocolate, 25% never eat chocolate & 5% of people chose to abstain from answering..." I will never say, "90% of people eat chocolate, while only Fruityman said he didn't..." This would be an invasion of privacy. However, if a question has (Please explain) or (Please elaborate) as a choice, your specific answer may be used in the survey outcome, although your name will not be. If a question does not have (Please explain) as a question choice, but your intended choice is not represented on the choice list, then feel free to provide another choice which fits your description.
You're probably getting bored reading all of this so I'll wrap up. To see outcomes of the results, see my Polls subpage. Feel free to comment on anything! Feedback is always welcome. Most importantly, have fun. Topics will vary greatly & surveys may be resent out at later times to re-assess a consensus if survey numbers have grown significantly. If you know anyone who would be interested in these surveys, send them to my talk page or if you see this survey sheet, send your own answers in! Thanks. -- Spawn Man.

These are the results for Poll 1 - Wikipedian relationships. For the actual questions see above. Other (please explain) answers may have their text placed into these results for clarity. However, only a selection of Other (please explain) samples may be included if full selection is too big. Options not expressed means that nobody picked them. Any thoughts are appreciated.
- Question 1: Of the 14 editors to answer Q1; 3 editors (21%) chose option A), 6 editors (43%) chose option B), 2 editors (14%) chose option C), 1 editor (7%) chose option D) & 2 editors (14%) chose option E), saying "People need to be nicer to one another.

- Question 4: Of the 14 editors to answer Q4; 8 editors (57%) chose option A), 5 editors (36%) chose option C) & 1 editor (7%) chose option E), saying "It depends on the definition of "serious". I've been involved in some that got fairly acrimonious, but mostly over things that might be considered relatively trivial in some quarters."

[edit] Poll Response
Hi, Rentastrawberry, sorry for taking so long. I listen to WBRU and WHJY in Providence, as well as linking to WTUE in Dayton, Ohio. WHJY plays a lot of Ozzy and Rush; WTUE plays a lot more country influenced classic rock such as Joe Walsh, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels and Kid Rock, etc.
- War Pigs - Ozzy
- Invisible Airwaves - Rush
- Runnin' with the Devil - Van Halen
- Hell's Bells - AC DC
- Jeremy - Pearl Jam
- Purple Haze - Jimi
- Stupefied - Disturbed
- For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica
- Girls Girls Girls - Mötley Crüe
- Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
[edit] 10 best songs of Guitarmankev1
Great idea, but I feel so limited by only 10! Here's some really good songs, in no real order, really.
- "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
- "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2" by Pink Floyd
- "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
- "American Pie" by Don McLean
- "All along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix (I liked his version better.)<be>
- "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd
- "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd
- "Creep" by Radiohead
- "Paint it, Black" by Rolling Stones
- "Hotel California" by The Eagles
Maybe "Theme from Metalocalypse" by Dethklok would be an alternate choice. --McTrixie 19:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

The lead article of the Project recently lost its FA status, and now some of the other articles are being reviewed. Citations and references within articles are again the major concern. Contributors who have literature (books, magazines, links, etc.) are especially needed to provide the necessary citations. It is not enough for editors to know the facts; they need to be backed up by other sources. All help, both within the articles and the discussion, would be appreciated.

Again, the issue of the month is inline citations. A Day in the Life, A Hard Day's Night (song), and Get Back have all been defeatured, as they failed to satisfy criterion 1(c) of What is a featured article?, and other song FAs are due for the chopping block. Inline citations are an important aspect of articles—they ensure verifiability and reliability, and they remove original research. Additionally, they give readers the option to read the original source material and view it within context. Basically:

Wherever possible, editors should help to trim down on list-like prose within Beatles articles. They should convert list-like sections into fluent, cohesive prose which ties an article's sections together. Lists make articles disjointed, awkward, and difficult to read.

Wikipedia's standards are improving all the time, with the result that many articles in The Beatles Wikiproject are being nominated for review of their FA and GA status - and many are losing that accolade. It is difficult, with such a large number of articles and the ease with which editors may make changes which are detrimental, to maintain the standard of articles, let alone improve them. As ever, members efforts are both appreciated and needed to keep the Project on course.

If one is to be mercenary about the subject, it should be noted that Paul McCartney is going to be more noteworthy than usual in the near future as his divorce case comes to court. In that case it is great to note that a small group of Project Members (plus another individual who does not feel compelled to register himself despite important contributions) have worked very hard, and in an atmosphere of good humour, to take the McCartney piece to a succesful Good Article nomination. Perhaps this is the method to use for future articles, a small dedicated team concentrating on one subject at a time. Of course, all members are invited to join any existing group or even go about forming their own. Please note any such action in the Project Log. If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired.

[edit] Top 10 favorite songs
1)Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan is a genius, this song is his ultimate masterpiece and the greatest and most influential song ever written. 2)Blowin' In The Wind - Bob Dylan - Great protest song, careful, enigmatic lyrics, and a stunning harmonica tune. 3)All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix - Although Dylan's version is also amazing, Jimi's version is incredible. Packed with possibly one of the greatest guitar solo's of all time, the song's destructive and violent music incredibly contrast the gentle lyrics and harmonica of Dylan's. 4)The Weight - The Band - For some reason I just love this song. 5)Imagine - John Lennon - Imagine all the people... Great song, great message. 6)Satisfaction - Rolling Stones - Great song from one of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time. 7)Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana - Possibly the greatest modern rock song and the most influential and greatest song of the 90s 8)Layla - Derek and the Dominos - LAAAAAAAAAYLAAAAAH!!! Great song. 9)Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix - 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky 10) The Times They Are-a Changin' - Bob Dylan - Come gather round people, wherever you roam. And admit that the water around your head's grown. What a great song.
[edit] Congrats!
Congrats on getting Invasion to the main page yesterday. I'm surprised no one's already "congratted" you, so I thought I'd do it now. Yes, I've been on a wikibreak for a bit, & I still am in a way. Anyway, thought you'd like the message & hope you've had a good new years... :) Spawn Man 02:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thank You
Thank you for offering to help with Eric Clapton articles and help is what I truly need. I think most big things are done of those type articles but minor issues pop up. If you could find references and put citations on the Eric Clapton and Blind Faith articles that would be greatly appreciated (especially the Eric Clapton article) and add on any info to the Derek and the Dominos page if you can because it's just a tad-bit too short to be a WP:FAC. That's all I can think of on the top of my head and good luck and godspeed. - Patman2648 07:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

The question of capitalising of the letter "t" in The of The Beatles has been raised again. It appears that UK style references (here and here) also maintains that the letter should be in lower case. If the Project is to be appear professional then it may have to change the format. Polite discussion is invited at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles/Policy. If possible, please provide sources/references to support your position.
It has been a fairly quiet time with regard to the Project (or at least that is how it seems). If you are reading this and wondering why your efforts in respect of a Beatles article has not been mentioned, it may be that you haven't told any editor. This is your Newsletter, which means you can contribute to it, so please do! If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!

Hottest issue or concern for this month is the perennial matter of Project articles losing their Good or Featured Article status. The main Project page now includes a status board that gives the current ratings of some of the more important articles. Let's make sure the core articles (The Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) reach or retain Good Article status, if not Featured Article. If you are aware of another major article whose status is at risk, add it to the board.
Since there has been no response in the matter of the use of lowercase for the initial letter of the when applied with Beatles from the opponents, it is likely that the case for using lowercase only will be adopted as Project policy by default. User:LessHeard vanU will draw up a recommendation and submit it to the Policy talkpage in a few days.
We are pleased to welcome the contributions of Alexcalamaro to this newsletter.

[edit] WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter, Issue 11, March 2007

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter |

See below. There is genuine concern that the Newsletter is getting stale in terms of content and variety, and that the same individuals are featured each month. Furthermore, lack of "news" is hindering the timely distribution as the editors wait for something to report. All Project editors are encouraged to give their news, suggestions and thoughts to keep the 'Letter vital and interesting. If making direct contributions do not appeal, please give a mention on the Newsletter talkpage and it will be incorporated!
Help is needed for the job of putting future Newsletters together. The present incumbent is finding it difficult to reflect the breadth of the Project, focusing on much the same individuals and articles each month, and has decided to beg for contributions from other individuals. Interested persons need only start working on next months issue to qualify. It really is that simple! If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 012 – April 2007). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!
