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 display=none 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.

Help

If anyone has a copy of Des'ree's "Kissing You", could they add the credits to the article? I ask here because the song only charted in Australia. If you have an album with the song on it those notes would do, too. Thanks, Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

The album it came from is the soundtrack to Romeo + Juliet. Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:06, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Save Australia's Musical Heritage project

Hi all,

I'm Skud, long-time Wikipedian etc etc etc. I recently launched a project to save hard-to-find and independent Australian music from obscurity, by increasing the amount of information available online, helping people find that information, helping people find/access/archive rare music, collaborating with cultural institutions that have archives of music and music-related resources (music press, zines, etc), and so on... basically anything that can count towards "rescuing Australian music from obscurity" and is under a sort of open/free license ethos is fair game for us.

I originally blogged about it here, then set up a mailing list, and have now got a website set up for the project and a wiki of our own. All the usual stuff, but those links should help you understand what we're on about.

Anyway, some of us involved in the project (most notably me and User:David Gerard) are long-time Wikipedians and we definitely want to work very closely with Wikipedia and with this WikiProject, if at all possible, to avoid duplication of effort etc. So, I just wanted to raise my hand and say I've added myself as a member of this project, and will be working on Australian music related articles, and that you may see more people from Save Australians Musical Heritage coming this way in the future. Also, we're working on a list of resources that may be of use to you. And if anyone has other ideas for collaboration, we're totally up for it. Just drop me a line on my user page or email skud@infotrope.net. Skud (talk) 06:38, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Happy to help out where possible - have entered some information on your site which might be useful. Dan arndt (talk) 09:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits to our resources page, Dan! It's actually looking pretty good now... I've added a bunch more stuff so for anyone who's interested, the Save Aussie Music resources page should be a useful source of relevant WP:RS type links. --Skud (talk) 07:39, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Australian music will have interest in putting on events related to women's roles in Australian 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)
