Musicians in Australian Dictionary of Biography not on Wikipedia
Below are a list of red links of Australian music related people who have an entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography, but who are not on Wikipedia. I went through the ADB To-Do list looking for musicians, but since there were so many I thought I'd share it here. The ADB is handy because they list their sources and often they are available on Trove too so most people here should be able to get a quick stub.

The Zoo
After hearing about its closure in July, I started a draft article for The Zoo Whatisbetter (talk) 09:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Sharing Australian chart and release date resources
I have previously been a prolific editor on Wikipedia, mainly adding to/correcting/sourcing Australian chart positions from the 1980s and 1990s, and adding lower (top 200) peaks from Australia that were not on Wikipedia previously. As my health situation is currently not the best (metastatic cancer), I am wondering if here would be an appropriate place to share some of my resources with other editors keen to contribute to adding this information, so that it doesn't get lost if my health further deteriorates. There is a link on my user page where you can contact me directly by email if you are interested.Nqr9 (talk) 12:55, 20 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Nqr9, sorry to hear about your health troubles. I've sent you an email. I'll tag @Tobyjamesaus as he does a lot of discography and chart work and might be interested too. Jimmyjrg (talk) 09:52, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * , I'm saddened to hear of your poor health. Wikipedia became a better place due to your contributions. shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Australian Dance Music Awards
I've just expanded the 3D World (Australia) article's section on the Australian Dance Music Awards (DMA's) and it's now larger than the stub about the publication. Would people here recommend moving the DMA's to its own article? The awards only ran 2001-2006 (with none in 2004 or 2005) before disappearing. They were fairly notable at the time, but I can't find any information on why they stopped. Jimmyjrg (talk) 02:01, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
