Assessment scale and guidelines
I think that these are beneficial things we need to help start this project and for something that members can adhere to when editting articles within the projects scope. I would be interested in helping make both of these elements of the project but I haven't been part of a WikiProject before and I feel it's too big of a task to tackle on my own. So could one of the fellow members who feel they are up to it help me create these?  Rezter  TALK  03:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Today I began work on the guidelines for the Project, you can find my progress on my sandbox; here. I have written the Citations section and give a rough idea of the other sections that need writing up. I would like other members to help me write these guidelines, feel free to write up a section or even add another one. The sections I have listed were basically all that came from the top of my head so feel free to add as many sections as you see fit and you know, I don't think you can ever give too much help. Once the guidelines are up to a reasonable standard they should be moved to WikiProject Slipknot/Guidelines. I also gave the assessment scale thing a re-think and I think at least for now, we should leave the assessing for more established projects.  Rezter  TALK  06:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

History
Note that the page is built on a test page of mine and the history is a little strange. Thundermaster TRUC 08:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

FA Comments
BuddingJournalist made some good points that need to be checked about the main page such as:

"While the band's roots lie back as early as 1992..." "one of the most popular nu metal bands of this period." What exactly would "this period" be? "Since which time they have released two other albums..." "Early formations of a band were beginning to form as early as 1992 with the core band members" Very awkward. Why is this single sentence its own paragraph? "The band continued to develop their vision of what the band would be" "at a local club called Crowbar" What's local? Des Moines area? "suggested renaming the band "Slipknot" after their song." What song? "eventually the anti-image concept developed towards the members wearing masks" Quite awkward, and what's an "anti-image concept"? "remained mainly obscured due to their desire to wait until their music was fully developed." Perhaps "in obscurity"? Sentence seems unfinished. Wait to do what? "In February 1996, guitarist Steele left the band due to his Christian beliefs; though the other band members were prepared to allow him to stay, Steele decided to leave." Explain further how Steele thought his Christian beliefs clashed with being in the band. "Steele decided to leave" – we were just told this. "After conflict over the mixing and mastering," Vague. What conflict? "which resulted in airplay on local radio and, in turn, won a spot at Dotfest" Awkward and what is Dotfest? "Slipknot had returned to the studio " Why "had" returned? "who was to become the first and only member to be fired from the band due to his lazy attitude." Spot the ambiguity. Also, was he really fired for his lazy attitude, or his laziness? "the band were assigned individual numbers respectively" What does that mean, and why was this done respectively? "interest grew from record labels" "With the acquisition of Ross Robinson, interest grew" Repetitive, and awkward phrasing. Note that these examples are from the lead and Early years (pre-1998) only. In general, an over-reliance on the weak passive voice. ("The demo was sent to many record labels", "eventually producer Ross Robinson was contacted", "it was then decided they would work together", "DJ Sid Wilson was brought in") The alternating between referring to bands as singular and plural entities is jarring. Linking needs work. Sometimes specific phrases that require linking are not ("heavily down-tuned guitar set-up (lead, rhythm, and bass guitars)"). Sometimes phrases are linked more than once. Thundermaster TRUC 08:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Outline for all albums
I think we should create an outline for what all of the albums should include. That way each one will fit in well within the overall project and look good as a group. I've gathered the follwing from what I think are good album articles: This list includes: Dark Passion Play and Reign in Blood (whitch was featured on the main page). All catagories are as needed, but let's try to get as many as we can.

Outline of what to include, in this order (Adjust as you see fit):


 * Album Infobox (with all info filled in)
 * Intro Paragraph
 * Title Origin
 * Recording of
 * Leaks (if needed)
 * Music Style
 * Track Listing
 * Lyrical Themes
 * Live Performance
 * Critical Response
 * Chart Performance
 * Credits
 * Notes
 * References
 * See Also
 * External Links

Any changes you would like to make...just change my list. Keep it (sic) though. Blackngold29 (talk) 03:31, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Good ideas man, add it to the guidelines we are currently working on. They're over at my sandbox: User:Rezter/Sandbox. We need to try get these up to some kind of finished standard some time soon and then I think we should do to-do lists for articles and focus on fulfilling those to-do lists one at a time.  Rezter  TALK  10:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Awesome I'll add it over there, the list looks good so far. Blackngold29 (talk) 14:35, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd like to point out that those information should be properly referenced on the article. No original research.  Zouavman   Le   Zouave   05:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, or 1. it will never get promoted 2. it will contain lots of rubbish and 3. it will probably get deleted. So we need to use and strong and reliable sources as possible. Thanks for reading, ThunderMaster  UTC  09:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Bigmouth Records
Is it mentioned anywhere on Slipknot's article that Corey Taylor has his own record label entitled Bigmouth Records? They are a label focused on the native grassroots musicians of the area where Slipknot grew up. I just thought that this was interesting, and also reflects good on Taylor's character since it shows that he still cares about his hometown and its musicians.

If this IS a part of 'pedia, then would it be a good idea to include Bigmouth Records on the Wikiproject:Slipknot? Dark Executioner (talk) 19:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Dark Executioner

If it has anything to do with the band or any of its members, then yes, I think it should be.Inhumer (talk) 17:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I just found out that it is here. Dark Executioner (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Dark Executioner

Getting Articles Graded...
I think that it would be beneficial to the project if we had some articles reviewed and given a rating. The main band page is pretty good, but none of the albums have been given a rating it would be easier to improve some of the articles if we knew exactly what needs to be done. Blackngold29 (talk) 04:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Maggots
Shouldn't ther be more on the fact a slipknot fan is called a maggot like an ICP fan is called Jugallo /Juglette —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.25.175.188 (talk) 04:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see what else is to add. Slipknot fans are often referred to as maggots. That's it. There is nothing else to add.  Zouavman   Le   Zouave   06:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless, we could find any sourced information on it, yes, I think that is basically it. Thanks for reading, Thundermaster TRUC 16:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

RIAA Certifications
I have added the RIAA certifications (Gold and Platinum albums) to all of the CDs and DVDs. However, the Disasterpieces DVD has not date in the RIAA Archives for a Double Platinum Certifacation, it does have logs for triple and quadruple though. If you know the date or another site that has it, please add it to the list. Thanks! Blackngold29 (talk) 04:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Crowz
If Anyone can find any source that can improve this article, please provide it. the juggreserection IstKrieg! 15:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have 3 books specific to Slipknot, along with multiple other musical books which include Slipknot along with a huge stack of magazines which contain information about the band. The only mention of anything that I could possibly see related to it was that they continued to write and record material after releasing MFKR. Soem of which were released on Roadrunner Records Demo, they may have planned to write and record enough material for a second independent release but they never did and there's no mention of track listings, album names or anything of the sort. There is information on FAN websites but that is unreliable, I personally don't believe it and it's not enough to base information on wikipedia.  Rezter  TALK  17:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The offical site states that it is a "collection of songs", which has not been released; it is not now, nor has ever been an album (or released in any format). It can be found on some fan-sites, however none are legit sources. If all traces have not been removed yet, they should be. Thanks. Blackngold29 (talk) 03:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I added info regarding the recordings that have been dubbed as "Crowz" by fans to the Slipknot Demo article so that should dispell any further additions of Crowz... thought it probably won't. It just gives us more reason to keep the term "Crowz" and any unreliable information off Wikipedia.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  18:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

MFKR
Serious problem with the genres. Does anyone have any solutions to this? Thanks for reading, ThunderMaster  UTC  10:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thats a good point. Its very unique, unlike all their albums. It has a very technical influence on it, but not nu metal. I don't know what kind of genre you can put it as, but they definately need changing. Riverpeopleinvasion (talk) 20:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * On here: it says Alternative Metal, Heavy Metal, Rap-Metal. You will probably be able to find some other sources like this too.  REZTER   TALK   &oslash;  21:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Slipknot (album)
What do you guys think about this article? Recently it was rejected as a "good article" and the comments state it could do with a copyedit and some expansion on the reception section. Do you guys think we should continue to pay focus to this article and push it to GA status now? I personally can't be involved in the coediting of the article because I wrote most of it, so obviously I'm not the best of writers haha. So yeah, shall we push thsi to GA status now or do you think we should move the AoF to something else?  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  11:52, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I was wondering the same thing, I don't think we need to make it our article of focus, as to me it looks like pretty good. I say we do something different and then after we've improved most of the other important articles (Vol. 3, Iowa, some members, etc.) we could "hit it again". That being said, if anyone doesn't like writing new stuff; they could copyedit Slipknot (album) while we're working on the other articles. Thanks! Blackngold29 (talk) 17:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Slipknot has been graded, should be begin Iowa as our next AoF now? Assuming nothing else will be nominated. It seems pointless to keep this promotional period going, we should move on and try to improve the rest of the albums. Blackngold29 (talk) 20:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Copyedits
Have we made a request for Slipknot (band)to be copy-edited? And also, what about Slipknot (album)? 86.135.80.62 (talk) 13:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a request made for Slipknot (band) at WP:LoCE but not for Slipknot (album) I think that should be handled by our project because we're not trying to get FA status with it like we are with Slipknot (band).  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  15:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Coverage template
I noticed how the coverage template didn't work on the talk pages of templates so I made a template for template talk pages at. Thanks for reading. Thundermaster (talk · contribs) 16:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Band member list?
Many bands have articles dedicated to the members and line-ups of bands, should we do the same for Slipknot? A basic example of what I'm talking about can be seen here. The only reason why I question whether or not it should be done, is because there have not been many member changes, none since 1999 actually. In addition, I do not want to start adding articles that are not necessary, because we have quite a bit of work to do. Thoughts anyone? Blackngold29 (talk) 02:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Things are moving along, let's keep it going...
I believe all the issues of the Slipknot (album) GA review have been addressed, it shouldn't be too much longer now. Iowa (album) is looking good, I think it is close to a GAC. I added a reception section to 9.0: Live, which has fullfilled all of the requirements for a "B class" article. Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) is lined up to be the next AoF, I think that we have learned quite a bit from the first two articles and Vol. 3 should have a good amount of material out there to pull from. I think that the project has generated quite a lot of improvements, unfortunately it seems that participation in the project is dwindling. I was just wondering if there are any users out there who no longer wish to participate; so that we can keep the Member's list on the main page updated. If no one responds to this messege, than perhaps some sort of survey could be sent out to all members addressing their involvement into the Project. I don't wish to offend anyone, I do not have all of the Project's articles on My Watchlist, so if you are contributing, keep up the good work!  Black  ngold29   05:14, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * My contributions haven't been great lately due to college work but I should be able to contribute more when I break up in June.. but then I'm going to University in September so my contributions may dwindle even more I dunno, but I check My Watchlist nearly everyday so I'm always keeping an eye on things.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  16:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Former members
I realize these guys are pretty low on the food-chain in our Project, but we'll get to them eventually (hopefully). Are these guys really notable enough to have all their own articles? It looks like Anders Colsefini has moved on to other bands, but info on Josh "Gnar" Brainard or Donnie Steele doesn't exactly seem plentiful. Could we maybe merge these guys into one "Former members of Slipknot" article or something like that? Because if we don't, we'll have a heck of a time getting them up to GAs. Thoughts?  Black  ngold29   02:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I think that is a really good solution, I do have sources for a lot of band members (Books, CDs, DVDs). We could maybe do it after MFKR I dunno.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  08:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I was thinking we should do atleast the DVDs before people; but members like Corey or Joey are pretty popular so maybe doing a person would be a good change.  Black  ngold29   19:06, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I was looking at WP:Music and noticed that it said "Members of notable bands are not given individual articles unless they have demonstrated notability for activity independent of the band.". By virtue I think that all the past members articles should be removed. I thought about adding a section in Slipknot band members about the past members but I think this should remain as a list article. I don't think we should make another article for past members and the information provided in the main article should be enough, I believe.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  18:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Now that the Slipknot band members article is much more substantial and more than adequately discusses their role in the band, when/why they joined and when/why they left, I propose we redirect; Donnie Steele, Anders Colsefini, Greg Welts and Josh Brainard to that article. Per WP:Music they are not notable as there isn't really any significant activity besides their involvement with Slipknot, if it is agreed then we shall remove all wiki-links to their individual articles and leave a message on their talk pages and redirect the articles to Slipknot band members.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  05:23, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * After looking down the list I agree that all former members should be re-directed. The one that was giving me second thoughts is Anders Colsefini. Per notability guidelines he is notable if: "Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition." MFKR is notable to have its own article, so does that make it a "notable composition"? On the other hand the guideline also states "Where possible, composers or lyricists with insufficient verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article should be merged into the article about their work. When a composer or lyricist is known for multiple works, such a merger may not be possible." On top of that he is in a currently new band.


 * I think that while MFKR could be considered notable, in Ander's case it is the only notable thing he has done (neither Painface or FleshCraft cite any sources whatsoever), therefore causing him to fall into the second catagory of "insufficient verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article". While Painface could take off and become notable in the future it is not notable yet.  Black  ngold29   05:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Roll Call - June 2008
Just so the Project can keep an updated list of people who continue to contribute to the Project a Roll Call will happen from time to time. It is understood that over time, users may have lost intrest in the Project or Wikipedia alltogether; if you have, it's no big deal. If you would like to keep contributing to the project please sign the list. If you do not add your name to the list by July 4, you will become an "Inactive member", this will bar you from voting in the Aof, as well as recieving the monthly newsletter. Remember, if you ever want to join the project again, you are always welcome!!!

Project Scope
I know we have a LOT of articles and a LOT of work to do on the ones we already have but I was wondering whether side-projects from the band members should be added to the WP:SLIP scope? I'm talking about articles such as:


 * Stone Sour (and all albums... singles, maybe even band members other than Jim and Corey)
 * Murderdolls (same as)
 * To My Surprise (same as)
 * Dirty Little Rabbits (same as)
 * DJ Starscream's albums
 * Big Orange Clown Records
 * Great Big Mouth Records
 * Tuff Bong Records

I was just wondering what you guys thought about this? You know technically these are all Slipknot related articles.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  17:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was thinking that after we got through most of our main stuff we could start throwing in stuff like Roadrunner Records and Rollerball (2002 film).  Black  ngold29   17:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Outside The Nine
I was thinking, why isn't there an article about this? It is the official Slipknot fan club, it's certainly note-worthy I think. Here's some other ban fan club articles:


 * Aero Force One
 * ABBAMAIL
 * Fort Minor Militia
 * Kiss Army
 * Turbojugend

Clearly, these aren't good articles by any stretch and some of them are being challenged on notability and verifiability. But we are the Slipknot project and we do kick fucking ass lol and I think if we found enough genuinely good sources we could have atleast a notable article, if not a a good article. So yeah shall we try gather some sources and decide if this can be done?  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  20:06, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Slipknot
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Metal Hammer Mag
I just found a really good (new) source and I've order it, maybe it owuld benefit te proejct more if other project members ordered it too. Metal Hammer have published a special edition of their magazine which follows the bands journey so far, right up to now.

If anyone's interested, the Slipknot live album, 9.0: Live, is currently at FAC.

Gary King ( talk ) 18:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Slipknot Tours
The articles we tend to be focusing on are articles with GA status that we are trying to get to FAC. Rather than that, shouldn't we try and get some other articles bumped up? I saw that there was a page for the All Hope Is Gone Tour, but I thought it could be a lot better than it is. Adding a typical set-list, critical reviews for each leg (if posible) and seperating the Mayhem Festival into it's own article, as there is more than enough to make an article with, and it's not actually part of the tour. Also, I don't see why there isn't a page for the Vol. 3 tour. It was a big tour, it finished a 3 years ago, and there was a live album made of it. I'm not saying that it should be an AoF or anything, but we could do a lot more with them than we could with most of the albums. Xanthic-Ztk (talk) 04:25, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * When somebody first made thr AHIG tour article I wanted to document all the tours that Slipknot had done but-as you should know-you need reliable sources for any information that you submit to Wikipedia and after weeks of researching, there was a lot of holes that I couldn't find sources for. And that was just looking for sources which confirmed their tour dates, never mind looking for reviews or images or any of that. (see my sandbox to see what I came up with before) So yeah, if you can find sources to confirm every single gig they've done on one tour then please provide them because I'd be more than happy to help create those articles.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  12:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I got a source for reviews. Not professional, but reviews nontheless. It has rougly 30 dates for the Subliminal Verses Tour. I'm just not sure if it's a RS. If you wouldn't mind checking it out, it would be greatly appreciated. Here's the link--. Xanthic-Ztk (talk) 00:22, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid fan-sites are not reliable sources for any information so please refrain from relying on them (I know they have a lot of info and a lot of it could be true but a lot of its not and wether to beleive it or not is up to you, you jsut dont know if the information they provide is based on printed facts or rumours). Of course when it comes to reviews you can't contest somebodys opinion and that's were notability comes in and on Wikipedia we only use reviews and opinions from sources that are generally respected in their area. So for example... popular music websites/magazines and stuff.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  02:25, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't expect it to be a reliable source. But I thought there was a chance that in this case it would be. Oh well, it was worth a shot Xanthic-Ztk (talk) 20:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I found a review for a show on the Subliminal Verses Tour. And also one from the recent All Hope Is Gone Tour. Xanthic-Ztk (talk) 20:58, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Slipknot Demo
Perhaps more feedback will be given here. The article has gone through 3 GANs and long-story-short: the article has very limited information which may or may not become available in the future. What do people think about merging the article into the Slipknot (album)? Nergaal (talk) 03:39, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sure blackngold29 addressed this issue before with you. First of all.... "the article has very limited information which may or may not become available in the future". Yes, we know at the moment it cannot be expanded and yes we know it's unlikely that we can expand but that's no reason merge the article. This has nothing to do with Slipknot (album), it was a demo that they produced that which is turn got them signed to Roadrunner and working with Ross Robinson on that album but it is not a Demo OF that album... its completely separate.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  15:22, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Category:Slipknot concert tours
I'm creating a few articles in the category, so you might want to check them out, link to them from wherever necessary, expand them, etc. Gary King  ( talk ) 22:32, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * They also performed in a few other tours that aren't in the category because they didn't headline them. I tried to fit in these tours somewhere in Slipknot (band), partly so that the articles don't just fall by the wayside. Gary King  ( talk ) 22:42, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay I'm done at List of Slipknot concert tours. I'm trying to only include tours that are primarily Slipknot. Is it complete? Gary King  ( talk ) 21:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * One of the main reasons I never created articles for those tours (so far).... is due to a lack of sources to back up all the information which I think is needed to make a good article. For all but one of those articles you don't list their tour dates or anything.... they seem kind of weak tbh... no offense. You've also taken a different style to that of All Hope Is Gone World Tour which is a weird decision. For example... in that article we include all of their appearances in support of All Hope Is Gone... not articles for each singular leg. I'm just not convinced it's possible to make these articles as comprehensive as I feel they should be. I think a good indicator of if you missed any dates would be this, but as you know... that's unreliable. I've been working on collecting data for the subliminal verses tour on my sandbox, however there are holes and I can't find sources for shows I know they've performed.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  07:42, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If necessary, all the Slipknot concert tour articles articles can be merged into List of Slipknot concert tours, as there should at least be enough information to support that article; that would be the worst case. Gary King  ( talk ) 04:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Copied from Talk:Slipknot (band)
Do we really need four articles for the Iowa tour? Every leg of the tour has its own article and they really don't even warrant existance - no tour dates, very little information (about a paragraph, and that's the whole article) and offline references so they cannot be varified. The Pledge of Allegiance could warrant an article but needs serious improvement, as does The Subliminal Verses Tour, but at the moment, All Hope Is Gone World Tour is the only one that should have an article.

I don't know how to nominate them for deletion, so could someone else do it? Xanthic-Ztk (talk) 22:19, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm gonna suggest that the four Iowa tour articles should be merged in to; Iowa World Tour. Then we can focus on potentially improving them and making them the quality they could be. What does everyone think?  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  13:24, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

It's better than all the legs in different articles. It should be set out like the AHIG tour article, with tour dates and everything, if we can find it. The Disasterpieces DVD could also provide info such as set-lists. Xanthic-Ztk (talk) 05:51, 26 March 2009 (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 06:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I would like to help
Umm .Is there anyway that I can help you guys out.I love Slipknot and know a lot about them. Peace Out—Permethius (talk) 14:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I added The Rock on the Range info and references to All Hope Is Gone and SlipKnot.Hope That helped—Permethius (talk) 15:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * That is good info, but it your recap was way too long, and it isn't deserving of its own section on any article. I trimmed it down on AHIG and removed it from the main article for those reasons. As for everything else, you're certainly welcome to help out! The main project page has pretty much everything you should need to know.  black ngold29  15:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok ,Cool.I'll be adding all the info and such and make sure its written down correctly.Peace Out—Permethius (talk) 16:48, 3 March 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.

Info on Slipknot's "World Domination Tour"?
I know that this took place, but could we have some info about it on Wikipedia somewhere? It probably does not warrant its own article, but surely there's an article where info on the tour can be added to? Where would that be? Gary King ( talk ) 20:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Well first of all we need some sources and then we can figure out roughly how much information we have and then we can decide were it can go.  REZTER  TALK   &oslash;  12:38, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay; I'm going to need some info on it before expanding List of Slipknot concert tours, which I'd like to work on soon. Gary King  ( talk ) 18:09, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
