Talk:Drum Corps International

Untitled
This article is once again standing on its own, but is now specific to DCI. Information pertaining to all modern drum corps is in the drum and bugle corps (modern) article. Lazytiger 15:12, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It'd be nice if the trash stayed on RAMD and didn't plague the rest of the 'net. I just created a new article of DCI Division I World Champions with more in-depth info and linked to it in the main DCI article. Ross 05:43, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

"prettified" table
I wouldn't say that Flamurai's new table is any prettier or better than it was before, just different. It used to match the look of the scoring table from the Drum and bugle corps (modern) article.

Flamurai added some stuff about I&E and neutralized some Div I info. I am unsure where the line is as far as what info should be in this DCI article and what should be in the Drum and bugle corps (modern) article. We're definitely getting some overlap of information. Most of the content of the DCI article originated in the modern article, was cut and pasted here, and some of the info is now finding its way back over there. But some of it is also remaining here with slightly different wording and content.

Anyone have any ideas about where to put what and minimize overlap?

 * The new table style better blends with the Wikipedia page, image frame, etc. The other table is presenting different information. There's no need for them to be the same. I will make that table at least have the same border style when I get a chance, though.
 * It's important for NPOV that this article be relevant to all DCI corps, not just division I corps. I don't think overlap is necessarily a bad thing just as long as the information is consistent between the articles. It's important that a reader get enough information to understand that article. For example, this article had said, "when camps end", without a previous mention of what camps were. The reader shouldn't be expected to read Drum and bugle corps (modern) first.
