[edit] Radiohead
I've put this article up for peer review, and I wanted to solicit the opinions of members of the Wikiproject on its readiness (or lack thereof) for A or FA status. ErleGrey 22:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's now at FAC - there are several citation and formatting issues that could do with some help. CloudNine 15:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Front page - new design
Currently redoing the front page of this WikiProject. Take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Olympics for what it'll be fashioned after. Feel free to add/remove/revert content; it is a wiki after all :) CloudNine 16:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- How's this coming? Wwwhatsup 01:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Pretty much finished. Just working on some of the subpages while I can. Hopefully it'll attract a few more members to the project. CloudNine 10:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Band WikiProjects as task forces/work groups?
There seems to be quite a few WikiProjects cropping out related to one band; would these function better as task forces? (i.e. subprojects of this WikiProject) For example, The Beatles WikiProject has ratings for more specific areas, such as the band members etc. What do you think? CloudNine 16:44, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- It depends. Obviously some people are really into certain bands, and they might be able to get enough people together to form an efficient subproject. I myself find it hard to commit to something like that; I like The Smashing Pumpkins as a band, but I've found it a bit of a chore trying to muster the enthusiasm to fix up the Billy Corgan page. Glancing at the Beatles Wikiproject I must admit I had trouble finding exactly what you were referring to in regards to task forces. Could ou tell us more about what you have in mind? WesleyDodds 20:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- (checks Beatles page) Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Assessment would be a better example - articles are assessed by musician/area, as well as being assessed overall by the project. I'd be happy to convert Wikipedia:WikiProject Pixies to a task force - it really needs more editors :) The Biography WikiProject has task forces in the way I was referring to.

[edit] Portal at FPOC
FYI, Portal:Alternative music is at featured portal candidates. CloudNine 18:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- And it's now a featured portal! Well done to all those who contributed images, articles etc. :) CloudNine 17:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hooray! WesleyDodds 22:54, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tapeop magazine
Hey just wanted to give you all a heads up, particularly if your interested in recording and production. I'll refrain from linking it from here, so google "tape op magazine" if you get a chance. It a free (in the US) bi-monthly magazine focused on DIY recording, and well respected in the recording community. With DIY being the focus there are often interviews with alternative and indie rock artists, engineers and producers. Personally I feel it has good source potential. There's a book in the works with some of the best article from the back issues as well. maxcap 17:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Severe Tire Damage
Lenoxus is looking to put the article Severe Tire Damage (band) under the scope of a music WikiProject. Could someone listen to some of their music and make a judgement call of where they could be placed? This WikiProject would be my guess, but I'm no expert. --Reaper X 17:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Whoa, I totally forgot about that… thanks, Reaper X and Special:Whatlinkshere/Me!

[edit] Culturcide
Not sure if the above group is within your remit, but it's a new article, if anybody wants to go there and laugh at my mistakes help improve it... Totnesmartin 12:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
