Is this where we're saving everything?JIDC18 (talk) 20:25, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, we'll have everything saved on my sandbox. We'll just add everyone's part on here. Esms10 (talk) 20:26, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

So...Yogurty's can't work out due to the fact it goes against too many of wikipedia's guidelines.Esms10 (talk) 18:54, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

We can just do recreational drug use, under drugs.Esms10 (talk) 20:25, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

And...topic change for like the third time? Massari it is. He doesn't have many references or contents and articles. We can definitely clean it up and add more.JIDC18 (talk) 20:45, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

hey guys now that we have a topic lets post the sources here :)Christinebabe (talk) 20:56, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Let's figure out our contents first...I was thinking we should just redo the whole thing since there is only a few sentences for the overview and Massar's "career" is very disorganized. So some of the headings I'm thinking we can do are: Overview (the intro pretty much), Life and Career (edit the career stub already up), Artistry (include Influences and Musical Style as subheadings), Collaborations (it's already there on his wikipedia page),and that is all I can think of right now. Any other suggestions? Esms10 (talk) 23:17, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Ya i agree, it'd be a lot easier to just rewrite the whole page. It sucks that we couldn't do the Yogurty's page because we were practically done and had all the information we needed. Anyways, I found a good link that helps with the biography portion of the wikipedia page http://artists.letssingit.com/massari-2kvgz/biography. I guess i can work on the life and career content of the page. I'll post it as soon as I'm done.JIDC18 (talk) 01:41, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Okay, sounds good! Try using what is already on the wikipedia page. You might benefit from the article already there, or even take a lok at some of the sites they referenced. I'm going to do Artistry. I found a few sites about his influences which seem to be accurate and trustworthy. Also, Jess make sure you post what you finish in my sandbox, not on here. This is the talkpage...here's the link to my sandbox: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Esms10/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template%3AUser_sandbox%2Fpreload&editintro=Template%3AUser_sandbox Esms10 (talk) 01:48, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh btw, Sharon and Christine, the two headings left are the overview of the whole wikipedia page and the collaborations part which is already under the contents. Let us know what you guys want to do! Esms10 (talk) 01:50, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

http://www.facebook.com/massarionline/notes This website (his Facebook page) includes a lot of international events that Massari was in. If it helps any of you guys with your part, use it! You'll find a lot of information on thereJIDC18 (talk) 03:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Jess haha I found this in the sandbox! I think you meant to put it here: I am going to work on the life and career of Massari. I'll use the stuff that's already on the wikipedia page and i'll also look at the different links they have referenced because they may help me expand on the paragraphJIDC18 (talk) 01:52, 15 August 2012 (UTC).... Esms10 (talk) 03:49, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to play around with the sandbox to see how you can add in references...so don't mind any of the information I have there, I'm just testing it out. Esms10 (talk) 03:52, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
