Who has sources for interviews, press releases, &c. for Gibson's use of the "sophisti-pop" moniker for her later compositions? - B.C.Schmerker 07:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Electric Youth and Beyond, 2007-present
Who has an in-depth review of the Dean Parker Productions LLC musical recently presented at Orlando, FL, under the title Electric Youth? I need it for an alpha article and have no data about cast, crew, actual song order, &c. - B.C.Schmerker 14:10, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed biography: Lewis A. Martineé
On hold for want of sources.

Proposed definition: Tribute song
Any suggestions out there for histories of the tribute song as an art form? Google came up positive for lists of tributes to various persons, events, &c. but negative on origin(s) for the art form. - B.C.Schmerker 06:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Proposed musical theatre article: Electric Youth (musical)

Deborah Gibson
I am confused as to why the rewrite is here...if it is sourced and a better version than the current one then why not replace it? - Running On  Brains  19:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the inquiry. This Peer Review is part of the process for replacement articles; the original article still on file (see Deborah Gibson) had several known issues at the time I began this process back in March.  I still need sources to complete the reference data for this beta article before replacement is effected. - B.C.Schmerker 01:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

(For further information on the process described above see Peer review.)

your note on the Lolicon talk page
I am the individual who requested a translation to help us with some improvements in the already-existing entry in English Wikipedia. I went back to the translation request page, and I can't see any indication that it's started. I've never asked for a translation before, so perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong place. Any help you could offer would be very helpful. Thanks. -Jmh123 02:14, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I happen to be new to Japanese myself and nowhere near dual fluency. I placed a Translation Request for ja.Wikipedia.org/wiki/麗美 and have seen no evidence to date that anyone is working on en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Reimy, an article I need for background info on a Japanese singer-songwriter who recorded a 1987-vintage song written by Deborah Gibson for the U.S. dance-music market&mdash;a conservative move for a J-pop artist with little experience at the time of writing songs in English (for current status see Translation/Reimy).  The Lolicon article actually looked pretty far into the translation process. - B.C.Schmerker 02:24, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The Lolicon article isn't a translation from the Japanese. The Lolicon entry has been written for a very long time.  My request is for just a portion of the Japanese article which would enhance ours--missing information.  I'm assuming my requested translation hasn't been started.  J-pop, eh?  I don't know this artist, but the song sounds interesting. -Jmh123 03:20, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Sub pages
Hi there. I see that you're doing a lot of work on article development here in your userspace. That is indeed a great way to get articles up to speed before moving them into mainspace. The way you're doing it now, using your talk page and your user page, is a bit cluttered and also makes it somewhat harder for people to collaborate with you. I would suggest that you use subpages to do your article development. They're easy to create, simply create a link of the form  on your user page then click and edit. A big advantage to working on articles this way is that when they are ready for mainspace, you can just use the *move* function to place them along with the full development history directly into mainspace. Hope this helps you out a bit. Cheers! &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 03:10, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for a reminder on a cataloguing procedure I hadn't considered until now. I'd have to do a lot of repaging to pull it off, of course, potentially breaking links in the process, so obviously a changeover at this stage is not foolproof. - B.C.Schmerker 12:40, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. One link in the post of 03:10, 8 July 2007 (UTC) went to the wrong Article&mdash;I believe you meant WP:UP on the first link. - BCS


 * Oops, left off the "WP:", silly me. Thanks for catching that! Cheers! &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 13:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
