New main Article for Music of Canada
'''The Article has been re-done!! Music of Canada as of August 15, 2009''' It has taken some time ..but tks to the work of many people we have gotten Music of Canada well on it's way Much more needs to be done...Pls fell free to Add relevant info (With proper References)!! But.. keep in mind we are trying to keep the article as wide-viewed as possible.. ..pls do not randomly list artist. (seeTalk:Music of Canada ) We have also taken the time to link the article to as much as possible, and added some banners to the discussions talk pages,,,and have Archived some Talk pages like Talk:Music of Canada/Archive 1 and Talk:Canadian rock/Archive 1.

Canadian music genres and Music of Canadian cultures may need to be merged into one article maybe called Musical diversity in Canada or something what ever you think is proper..but they do need work.

We are looking for writers on many sub topics like Canadian folk music and Canadian country music etc....See (Sandboxs post below this one) Also we have taken the time to clean up Canadian rock...but it can always use some cultural topics. O yes i am Back .... Buzzzsherman (talk) 19:07, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Sandbox pages
(From Archive of past discussions)

I'm going to create some sandbox pages for the various genre sub-articles, filled in with basic outlines for expansion and development into articles:


 * User:Bearcat/Canadian alternative rock
 * User:Bearcat/Canadian country music
 * User:Bearcat/Canadian folk music

Please offer any comments, and/or help to expand these. Bearcat 00:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. &mdash; Delievered by §hepBot  ( Disable )  on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:02, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the  parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 08:55, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've subscribed our project to the Article Alert Bot. It says it is down; but I think it is working in a sort-of-kinda-way.  My guess is that it is not doing everything it advertises.  Anyone in the know, leave a comment... Argolin (talk) 00:59, 5 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I've subscribed our project to the new Article alerts: WikiProject Canadian music/Article alerts.  I've added a link on the main page.  It is currently functional.


 * The replacement for the Walterbot is also functional . It's a great tool.  Argolin (talk) 23:49, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

Would Dean Lickyer qualify for this WikiProject? Thanks!--gordonrox24 (talk) 04:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Welcome to the project. The article does fit this project's scope. However, it could use further work to support for the band's notability as described at WP:MUSIC. Dl2000 (talk) 23:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Casey Sheehan and Weapons of Mass Instruction
For any fans of James Gordon (Canadian musician), Casey Sheehan Didn't Die for Nothing and Weapons of Mass Instruction have been proposed for deletion. Any further documentation, particularly in Canadian or other National newspapers would be appreciated. Pustelnik (talk) 00:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

"the" Arcade Fire
I recently boldly went through the Arcade Fire article and inserted a "the" in the band's name (depending on where it fit), per consensus at featured articles Pixies and Sex Pistols (though there is no established consensus yet at Arcade Fire). If anyone has comments on the matter, feel free to discuss at Talk:Arcade Fire. Thanks, -M.Nelson (talk) 01:16, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Removal of reviews from the album infobox
This is a notification of the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums regarding the removal of reviews from the album infobox. The discussion has reached consensus to remove the reviews, though is still accepting further input into the matter. We are especially requiring more discussion on what steps to take next. Your input would be appreciated on what is a matter that will affect a lot of music articles. kiac. (talk-contrib) 09:22, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Canadian music portal
We will be making a Canadian music portal..... I am interested in what and who should be in the portal...Pls add suggestions bellow..Buzzzsherman (talk) 10:57, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Portal:Music of Australia seems a good example to follow, except their charts box seems out of date. We'd need to make sure that material on the portal is maintainable e.g. some commitment that the various items won't get too stale over time. WP:POG has the general guideline. Dl2000 (talk) 05:08, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok it has been started ...It is just the start...pls fell free to edit and add anything....we will move this conversation to the portal talk page Portal talk:Music of Canada.

option 1... MofC1 portal


 * Buzzzsherman (talk) 05:59, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Here's the other option... MofC2 portal
 * Argolin (talk) 07:08, 1 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Best if you can use - this is standard and will be easier when portals need to go in a portalbox - like this:

The featured/good article list was updated. Some new articles added, but Run to You (Bryan Adams song) was delisted from GA in June. Dl2000 (talk) 04:53, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Japandroids
The article for the musical group Japandroids does not seem to me to meet WP:BAND. It is followed with an article on their album Post-Nothing and now the Post-Nothing Tour. Rather than Prod them of AfD them, maybe someone more familiar with music could have a look at them. -- KenWalker | Talk 08:04, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing heard after raising this here and on the three mentioned articles talk pages, I have proposed Japandroids for deletion. -- KenWalker | Talk 07:47, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe 24 hours is insufficient time to wait for a response. The band was also nominated for a Juno Award on March 3rd, 2010.  Any request for deletion should no longer be considered.  -- Anon 15:49, 4 March 2010 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.251.252 (talk)

Need help
could i get someone to crop in closer  so it can be nicer on  our portal page ...for some odd reason i cant do it maybe because its a pdf??.....Buzzzsherman (talk) 15:05, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah pdf's aren't images. So the only way you could do it would be to take a screen shot and then crop that, but that would completely kill the legibility of the pdf. -DJSasso (talk) 15:08, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Tks man!! your fast!! Dame that is what i was thinking...best we leave it so people can download a nice copy...Buzzzsherman (talk) 15:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Not true at all. You can take a screenshot and save it as a .png file.  Only Jpegs kill quality. Throwaway85 (talk) 02:29, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

WP 1.0 bot announcement
This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects.

Request for comment on Biographies of living people
Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:

Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, many wikiproject topics will be effected.

The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
 * 1) supports the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, User:Jehochman
 * 2) opposes the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, except in limited circumstances, User:Collect

Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.

Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced BLP articles if they are not sourced, so your project may want to source these articles as soon as possible. See the next, message, which may help.

Tools to help your project with unreferenced Biographies of living people
If you don't already have this and are interested in creating a list of articles which need cleanup for your wikiproject see: Cleanup listings A list of examples is here

Portal question
I have a question for all...does any one have suggestions for 2 more selected articles for the portal i have added two new 5th selections see #1 here  one from a new GA article that our new member User:Timmeh did (Three Days Grace) and one that is in the process of a GA  See #2 here (Avril Lavigne) by a few members here. Was looking for 2 more articles from  an older period, perhaps a composer or pianist..since the 2 new additions are from modern times. Was thinking Robert Nathaniel Dett or Murray Adaskin...Or a french artist... i am just not sure about this time period and would like some help in picking 2 nice articles for the rotation.....Moxy (talk) 22:35, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Not a classical composer, but how about Skinny Puppy? The WikiProject Industrial group has rated the article as Top...Argolin (talk) 08:31, 15 April 2010 (UTC)


 * ok we can do that one its a nice article ..we just need to pic one more group or persons so i can start!!!..Moxy (talk) 16:45, 15 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Since no one else has answered your call, how about Michel Pagliaro? Who you might say?  Pagliaro is from Montreal and has had considerable hits in both French and English.  Have a listen to "What The Hell I Got" and "Lovin' You Ain't Easy".   Forgive my weaslely use of considerable since the article needs a lot of work.Argolin (talk) 02:00, 16 April 2010 (UTC)


 * How about D.O.A.? It has a start rating which may not be corrct:  perhaps C or B?  It has an importance=mid.  Again correctness?  I dont't know whether anyone from the Punk group has done anything.  They are punkers after all...Argolin (talk) 09:06, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

 * You may add as many as you like..i just pre did some to make it easy to do!! Lets up it to 25!!..Moxy (talk) 04:52, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Why do I need to add 1 to each: bio, article, song, album at the same time? They each have separate paramters on the main portal. Argolin (talk) 09:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

..Ok because they work better if even and a prime number...PS dont forget the portal is for FA and important articles...like juno winners etc...not just one hit wonders!! or bands that are up and comers!! The portal is to promote the best articles we have..Not what we like!!!! -->Featured portal criteria--->Template:Random portal component///,,,Moxy (talk) 17:48, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Importance assessment of category pages
Sorry that I missed your note when first removing the importance rating, but I still don't understand why it's there. Once a category has been put in a super-category and has a link to its topic, it's done. Nothing else needs to be done to those pages, so their importance ranking should be NA. If you want to do anything else to them, you should be making a portal, not a category. If you are concerned about the articles in the category, then you should advertise those articles by putting them in an "alert" or "current collaboration" section of this project page. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 01:32, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If no one comments on this in the next few days, I'm changing it back to NA importance. Categories have no importance rating because nothing needs to be done to them.  If you want to add content to it, make a portal instead.  —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 18:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Artic Gnome I've been busy assessing the Category:Unassessed Canadian music articles. We now have zero articles in this category!  Also, I've been dealing with your concerns over placing an importance rating in categories.  Give me another few days.  I will answer you.  Argolin (talk) 02:31, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Congrats on the assessments, I always like to see the assessment tables inch closer to completion. I appreciate that you want to draw attention to a category of articles that you're working on; my point is just that this is better done by putting a link to the category on the WikiProject page.  —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 21:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess you can't wait for an answer. lol So here ya go!  We're going to be boring the pants off of everyone! :) Yes, my point in assigning a top importance to the Categories was to draw the music project's attention to the missing prov/terr information.  After you posted your comment here, I linked the two "missing" categories to our project:

When I do assessments of articles, I generally edit it also. There's always an infobox, categories, stub tab, etc to add to the article. When doing them last week, I found myself having to think too hard about whether the article is a band or musician, then what did I name the cat? Many articles last week were neither and could not be placed in the missing cat's. I have asked those in the know whether the music project can have only one visible category linked to the above. I'd like it named something along the lines of "Canadian music articles missing origin". I was hoping to do all this work first (avoiding the post above). Then post a message to you and the group on the new category. Discussions on categories aren't necessarily big draws talk pages. Oh well... see below plzArgolin (talk) 03:20, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't do much work with categories, but it looks like you have a good idea about how you want the categories set up. You should add the wikiproject canadian music categorization tree on this page bellow the canadian music tree, and maybe add some prose to show what you're up to.  You'll be able to explain what you're doing a lot better there than you can by adding category importance to the WP:1.0 table.  —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 21:09, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I added the Wikiproject as a child of Canadian music a while back. Technically, arguments can be made that it should be the other way around.  I've haven't seen any projects (music or other) set up like that.  I also added the Canadian music portal category as a sub/child of Canadian music.  So far, I've only seen Vancouver with a portal category.  I was going to notify the music project once I got an answer on the one main category for all Canadian music articles missing origin.  Argolin (talk) 22:19, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I wasn't proposing any change to how you're setting up the categories, I think you're doing fine. I'm just saying that you should announce what work you're trying to get done on the Canadian music categories somewhere on the main WP:WikiProject Canadian music so that other people can contribute.  I'm still not exactly sure what you're trying to get done before marking categories as "finished".  —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 05:43, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Discussion threads on categories are a big sleeper with many users. Did you read my last post (dated 01 June 2010) on the Canada template discussion page regarding the |needs-photo=yes parameter? I knew enough to link this new category to the Canadian music project. It's all very nice to link categories to the Canada project, but without a direct link to the sub project it's invisible. Vancouver has one Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Vancouver. This cat has not been linked to WikiProject Vancouver (even through it's parent). I know there is a problem with the Canada photographs category so I posted what I did with regard to the Canadian music project. There was no follow up post from anyone asking either for clarification or for me to do anything.

What am I trying to do?: place  on all Canadian music categories in use by this project. Again, any importance rating that may be assigned is completly 100% temporary non-permanent. I can go through the category tree myself. However, I need a bot to pick up categories not linked directly to Canadian music (like the photo category above). The category tree is not like project class related categories (book, template, redirect, etc). These categories that you and I have been setting up for the Canada project are quite easy. The placement of this object will automatically assign the Bottom clsss to the Canadian music articles by quality category.

Can you switch the Canada template back to allow an unknown rating? Argolin (talk) 04:22, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I thought those were old notices. If you want to get all of the music articles tagged, make a list of every relevant category and show the list to WP:Bot requests.  They should be willing to add all of them for you.  I don't know much about category trees, so I have no comment there other than my old adage that non-content pages don't have importance rankings.  If you need a way to draw attention to non-content pages in the music project, I recommend having a prominent box for current goals at the top of the music page.  As for the unknown rating in the template, I don't mind doing it, but it's a big enough change that I think we should make sure there is consensus for the change first.  —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 06:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * AG, there was no consensus or discussion of any kind when someone at the Canada project removed the unknown rating. IMO, there is no need for consensus or discussion to switch it back.  Quoted from above:  Again, any importance rating that may be assigned is completly 100% temporary non-permanent.  Argolin (talk) 23:28, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The unknown rating was only there for a few days due to an error on my part, the default is to sort by namespace; are you planning to go through all of the NA-class articles and change their classes? I don't know whether anyone will volunteer their bot to do it given that things are already sorted into the right categories now.  Regarding the importance ratings, it should have only taken a couple days for a bot to tag the articles, and it was like that for more than a couple of days, so the designation didn't look temporary last time.  And in any case, even if it is temporary, why not do it right temporarily rather than do it wrong temporarily?  —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 02:38, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Tragically Hip Template:WikiProject_Canada
Artic Gnome, while you're here, I'll tell you that yesterday I reassessed the Tragically Hip as high importance. I'm telling you cause they are specifically listed on the Canada project's Template importance rating as an example of medium. How can that be? They are a quintessential Canadian band. An execellent example of Canadian rock music. I think the only Canadian music award that they have not been awarded is the GG. Believe me when I tell you that it was not meant to annoy anyone at the Canada project. Please do not change it back to importance=Mid. Shouldn't the Canadian music project be advising the Canada project on what bands/musicians to include on the Template:WikiProject Canada template and the WikiProject Canada/Assessment page? Argolin (talk) 03:20, 27 May 2010 (UTC) Argolin (talk) 06:45, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Importance is very subjective, but it's probably reasonable to keep the Hip at high at least until the article is FA. Keep in mind that the high-importance group contains articles like Prime Minister of Canada, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and Winnipeg, all of which I would say are a higher priority than the Tragically Hip.  If there is too much of a conflict with importance ratings between WPCANADA and WPCANADA MUSIC, we can give the later its own importance ranking system like we did the cities.  —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 06:26, 21 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Great: Arctic.gnome please remove the reference to The Tragically Hip as "Mid" Importance  from Template:WikiProject_Canada.  Argolin (talk) 05:50, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons
The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at WikiProject Canadian music/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you have approximately 35 articles to be referenced, a 23.9% reduction from last week. Great work! The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 17:25, 17 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the notice...we are currently working on them we started with 56 and as you mentioned are down to 35....Moxy (talk) 17:28, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * You might find it goes up tomorrow, as there were some Canadian music related ones listed at Database_reports/Untagged_and_unreferenced_biographies_of_living_people that I assigned to the Canada and Canada music projects. The important thing is that we are checking and referencing the articles.  Most of the music projects have been really good - with Opera and Metal leading the way having cleared their lists... so far.  We estimate that there are about 10,000 articles either without WikiProjects assigned, or just the Biography project and no work-groups or secondary projects. Thanks again for your efforts.The-Pope (talk) 18:40, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

David Bottrill discography This record producer does not have a main article. There is one (not particularly good) reference. There is a hard redirect from David Bottrill to his discography. I don't know what needs to be done. Someone please help. Argolin (talk) 05:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Review request: Alphabet Soup
Alphabet Soup Children's Entertainment is a Winnipeg-based children's band. I've created an article for them, but am struggling a little to find a relevant Talk page to get a review from (and get rid of the "unreviewed" status). If anyone here can take a look, or point me to a better page to make the request on, I'd be very grateful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Norepeat (talk • contribs) 02:43, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * You've got it right. The Canadian music project does not yet have an /Assessment page.  I added the Canada and Biography banner templates to the article's talk page.  The Biography project will eventually rate and assess the article.  They have a huge backlog.  With a little more content it will easliy qualify for a class=start article.  Hope this helps whomever you are!  Argolin (talk) 20:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Help with Hardcopy References
The article about the band Staggered Crossing is under scrutiny and faces possible deletion. It's self-referenced but for a couple brief music reviews. There is next to nothing online. Can anyone help track down references to the band in local sources, such as hardcopy Toronto music press? -- Whoosit (stalk) 22:46, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Caribbean music
Caribbean music in Canada needs some major work. As written, it seems to imply that the Caribbean music genre has really only existed in Canada since 2000 (which is absurd, obviously) and that it consists exclusively of soca and calypso. Like, hello — reggae? Zouk? Merengue? Lillian Allen? Leroy Sibbles? Sattalites? Hell, even Parachute Club had enough of a Caribbean influence going on to bear at least cursory mention. Anyone able to help get it up to scratch? Bearcat (talk) 02:32, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Canadian music articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Canadian music articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (&diams;) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

WikiProject cleanup listing
I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 21:15, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Request for Re-assessment
I didn't see a link on the Canadian music project page for "Request Assessment", or anything similar.

Boneyard90 (talk) 15:59, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

✅..but its more of a C level if that as per -->WikiProject Canada/Assessment.. Will will have to find some more refs..I will add some links (if i find any) on the articles talk page that we can work with i hope .Moxy (talk) 19:44, 25 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Moxy, I would have assessed it as class=Start? I'm not questioning that the Andrew Scott article will pass the WP:NM, if challenged.  The article has only a single reference per WP:V.  Doesn't the fact that it may be challenged under WP:NM mean that it is class=Start?  Argolin (talk) 00:34, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You can change it if you like...i am just not sure theres much more to be said...plus i am a little concern with notability.Moxy (talk) 01:25, 26 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I won't argue with the C-class rating (other WikiProjects I've worked with didn't use the 'C' rating), or even the start-class if that's what you all decide. I'll dig around and see if there are other relevant and reliable sources to be had. Thanks! Boneyard90 (talk) 01:56, 26 December 2010 (UTC)


 * One or two more references per WP:CITE would satisfy WP:V and prevent deletion of Andrew Scott per guidelines WP:NM. Argolin (talk) 03:19, 26 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Moxy, I am not questioning your assessment of the Andrew Scott article. I know that there is an enormus gap in finding online sources for Canadian content.  My question is are there Canadian Wikiproject guidelines to address this fact?  Argolin (talk) 03:28, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello! This is magiciandude from the Latin American music task force requesting a collaboration between the two groups for an article.

Unreferenced BLPs - the final surge
Since early in 2010, many editors have assisted in the referencing or removal of over 90% of the Unreferenced Biographies of Living People, bringing the total down from over 50,000 to the current 4,862 (as of 16:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)). Thank you for all of the work you've done to date, but we are now asking for your help in finishing this task. There are two main projects which are devoted to removing UBLPs from en.Wikipedia:
 * WP:URBLP has set up a large number of topic based lists, which are updated each day by a WP:BOT. Your project's list is located at WikiProject Canadian music/Unreferenced BLPs and currently contains 63 articles.
 * WP:URBLPR is focusing on clearing out the backlog based on the month in which each article was tagged as being unreferenced. The current task is Category:Unreferenced BLPs from September 2009, and it is the last month remaining from 2009.
 * You can also reference a or make your own lists using one of the catscan tools, such as this search for |9&doit=1 Canadian rappers.

All you have to do is pick your articles and then add suitable references from reliable sources and remove the BLP unsourced template. There is no need to log your changes, register or remove the articles from the list. If you need any help, or have any comments, please ask at WP:URBLPR or WT:URBLP.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide. The-Pope (talk) 16:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month
Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Canadian music will have interest in putting on events related to women's roles in Canadian music; as performers, singers, etc. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 19:10, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

photo requests categories - request for input
There are large number of articles with requests for photographs of musicians in Canada. One of the categories they are placed in is that of their city of origin. This is however swamping other requests for photographs in that city. I would like to split these requests to make it easier for people to see what image requests of locations have been made. Someone has invested a substantial amount of time classifying these requests and I do not want to throw away that hard work. I have a proposal on how to do this.

What genres can be considered Canadian?
Hello, I've just created a page about the Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards. I added the category Music Organizations in Canada, but I'm not sure what else is appropriate. Bluegrass, of course, is an American music genre, but there's a lot of it being performed, and new songs written, in Canada as well. If anyone here has advice about what categories to use on this page, I would appreciate it. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 01:10, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Great job with the article - I will see if I can upload there logo. As for your question I have asked User:Bearcat to come see this post (hes our resident Canadian category expert). There is also User:Argolin who would also know whats best for music cats and talk page banners. Moxy (talk) 02:09, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I've added, as well as and  (given that bluegrass is a sort of country/folk hybrid.) I don't personally think a category specifically for "Canadian bluegrass" would be particularly justified at this time — but that's mainly a question of whether Wikipedia has enough articles to populate one. If you can find evidence that we do have a reasonable number of articles (even just four or five is sufficient) that would belong in a  category, then it would be completely justifiable to create one. We don't have to "own" the genre in a nationalist sense to warrant a category — we merely have to have a reasonable number of articles to put in it. After all, the likes of "rock", "pop", "folk", "country" and "hip hop" aren't uniquely Canadian genres of music either, but we do still have categories for their Canadian iterations. Bearcat (talk) 02:36, 8 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Here are some pages that could fall under Canadian bluegrass:
 * Pineridge Bluegrass Folklore Society
 * Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards
 * Saddle River String Band
 * Mike Stevens (bluegrass harmonica)
 * J. P. Cormier
 * The Good Brothers
 * Luther Wright and the Wrongs
 * Rex Yetman
 * Paul Hébert (bluegrass musician)
 * The Abrams Brothers
 * Willie P. Bennett
 * The Paperboys
 * Joel Quarrington
 * Jenny Whiteley
 * Tottenham, Ontario


 * As well, there are many bluegrass articles that aren't written yet, such as this list of bluegrass festivals that I am compiling:
 * User:Anne Delong/Bluegrass Topics &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 11:09, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Many of those wouldn't be appropriate, for the record; bands and musicians don't ever go directly in a "genre music" category under any circumstances, but in "genre musicians" and "genre musical groups" subcategories. You've also provided no explanation for Tottenham, Ontario, but I find it hard to imagine a context where that would be appropriate — there may well be something in the town that's connected to bluegrass in some way, but the town itself is not an aspect of the musical genre. Bearcat (talk) 07:26, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Moxy,

Yes indeed long time. I took a little break from editing wikipedia. There was an over zealous editor in another realated project that well, (I'm sure) you know just makes one question the futulity of it all...

Hope all is well with you also! Sorry, I can't actually contribute to this discussion. I have zero knowlege of bulegrass esp Canadian blugrass. Thank you for thinking of me to include in this discussion.

And, OH MY! From your talk page, the Cfd project is still the same. I established the categories for missing place of origin (by province) ages ago. No one from that project notified me that a deletion discussion had been initiated!!! I remember consulting Bearcat on what to do with missing place of origin (see below).

All articles on music performers (bands & muscians) require three things:

1. year of formation (start of career; generally tied to #2 below but not necessarily) 2. place of orgin (first place of public performance) 3. genre of music

As you know, wikipedia articles must have these three things. Interpretation of what they mean is the thing. Thanks again.

Best, Argolin (talk) 00:42, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!


Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

National campaign on music in 2017
Hi all, We are a group of music librarians, archivists, musicians and academics. We're organizing a national editing campaign focused on Canadian music. We're going to have several events culminating in a distributed edit-a-thon in Oct. 2017. We'd love to collaborate with this project and would welcome volunteers.

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template Transclude lead excerpt.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist  10:54, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from cite web, cite journal and doi.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
