Template talk:Rush

Uniform style
I have changed this template to look like (which was based on the original  ) and , so that we have some uniformity among the similar templates. It might be a good idea to come up with an actual standard for use on other band articles, assuming they require a similar template. Thoughts? plattopustalk 02:17, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Include songs?
This thread will serve as a discussion. Should we maintain a "Rush songs" section on the template, or just keep them in a category and link them when appropriate?

I agree that if too many Song articles are started, it may get cluttered. We might even be able to merge some of the song articles either I or other people have created. That's something to consider in the future. Deckiller 23:54, 10 December 2005 (UTC) Maybe we could, like on the Pink Floyd and Kiss articles, have a separate discography page listing all Rush's albums and songs on it and also in the blurb on the top mention Rush's most popular songs (or something along those lines)?

 * I thought it wouldn't be a good idea to have songs on the template seeing as though people would edit it replacing them with their favourite songs and over time it would get cluttered.
 * Yes, let's keep songs out of the template. I have experienced something similar when editing the articles on individual types of aircraft...everyone adds a photo of that aircraft as operated by their pet airline. Eventually, we just separated them all to separate pages. &mdash;Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 14:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I only put songs on that list that had articles made. Perhaps what we can do is, eventually when all of Rush's "singles" have articles, we can put that under a "Rush singles" category.  We also have the song articles linked from their respective article pages in addition to the Category:Rush Songs.  Maybe we can list those songs under "See Also" just to make sure that people know 100 percent that those articles are there.  Deckiller 23:35, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Tours
We had a complaint to WP:OTRS from te author of a book, claiming that the tour dates in these articles violated his copyright and impeded his ability to sell an updated version.

Although I am not really convinced that you can copyright a list of dates which is available on the back of every tour shirt sold, about half the articles had no content other than a fair use image of an album cover (per fair use can only be used in the article on the album) and an infobox, which qualifies for speedy deletion under WP:CSD (empty article); those that had dates lists were unformatted and unreferenced, in short there did not seem to be anything there actually worth having. I removed them from Rush. Please do not reintroduce these articles without sources, evidence the tours themselves have been subject of multiple non-trivial references in reliable secondary sources, proper attribution so we can ensure that copyright is not violated, and no album covers.

 * That seems rather lame that tour dates can't be listed for a reason like copyright infringement. I'm sure if you went on one of the more reputable Rush websites, you can probably find a full list of dates and setlists without much effort.  Dbm11085 20:46, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree; how can the author of a book copyright a list of dates and locations? The lists of the tour dates are printed on the back of every Rush tour T shirt. It crazy that someone can 'claim' copyright for this. Dbalderzak (talk) 11:40, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Video Releases
I just noticed that the template doesn't list the video releases by the band. I think that it's especially important to include, considering that the band has essentially tripled the number of their video releases in the last 5 years. I think a list of the videos (or even just the dvd's) is best placed between "Live Albums" and "Compilations". I'll set out to start this effort, given that the articles exist. If I run out of steam before I finish, I hope some of you can pick up where I have to leave off. Thanks. -- ManfrenjenStJohn 00:59, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
