Expansion
Any thoughts on expansion?

I am not sure if using the official event site for information is preferred, but it does contain a lot of great information, including festival milestones, past lineups, "fast facts", and a news archive. I started a History section for the article, which still needs to be expanded, but I thought it might be good to think about ways to organize the article. I am not too familiar with blues music, but I think many of these musicians are notable. Should we list the most prominent musicians featured throughout the festival's history, or even list musicians performing for each year? Perhaps that is overkill, but I don't think it would take up too much room. Many other festivals are subdivided into separate articles for each year, though I do not think that would work in this case. Something more like this might work, in a more condensed version to create just one larger section.

Unfortunately, not all years are listed in the "Milestones" section, otherwise it would be nice to create a table displaying the amount of money raised in each along with the estimated number of pounds of food donated. Perhaps there is another way this can be noted, since it does play a large part of the reason for the festival.

Also, are there any images that can be used to improve the article? -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
