Music of the Lesser Antilles
Aside from sound samples, I'd like suggestions on this article. It's somewhat problematic because the "Lesser Antilles" isn't really a very good music area for a comprehensive encyclopedia, but it's definitely a common enough descriptor to warrant an article. Depending on the context, "Antillean music" most often means either zouk or calypso. More scholarly works do basically the same thing, considering "Antillean music" as distinct in the sense that French Antillean music is different from Haitian music, and the Anglophone islands' music is different from Jamaica. There are connections and similarities between the islands, but there's not really anything that is found throughout the area and not elsewhere. Anyway, I think this describes the topic about as thoroughly as could be useful. Tuf-Kat 07:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Haven't made a thorough read, but did a few visual corrections in the last sections. Circeus 15:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Footnotes should be put consistently in the same place, some paragraphs have them before punctuation, other after, WP:FOOTNOTE favors after.
 * No "main articles" given for British Antilles
 * It'd be nice to have some ilustration for the "Indo-Caribean" and Dutch "Antilles" (although I do realize it'd be difficult.)
 * It's a bit presumptuous to list a "main article" that doesn't exist yet.
 * Good points, all of them. I should be able to find a couple of sound samples for Indo-Carribean music - I'm not sure I can even do that for the Dutch Antilles. (I can't even find a book to put in Further reading) Tuf-Kat 16:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, now I remember why I didn't make main article for British Antillean section. They should probably be template:further instead, so I'll switch them.  British Antillean music would be superfluous with Anglophone Caribbean music. Tuf-Kat 16:25, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Usually, I'm not against red-links, but this article seems inundated with them. Can at least stubs be created for them? AndyZ t 17:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's on my to-do list. They will probably mostly be stubs, unfortunately. Tuf-Kat 01:32, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
