"Weird Al"

I have opened a discussion at WP:WEIRDAL to determine whether or not there is sufficient interest in maintaining WikiProject "Weird Al" Yankovic either (a) at all, (b) as the current WikiProject, or (c) a taskforce under the umbrella of WPP:MUSIC. If you have any input or interest in contributing, please join the discussion at WT:WEIRDAL#the future!. Thank you! — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 17:15, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

task forces

Based on the discussion linked above, the consensus seems to be to make WikiProject "Weird Al" Yankovic a task force of WikiProject Musicians. However, does WikiProject Musicians even have task forces? All I can find are subordinate Projects for artists, not task forces. Could anybody active with WP:Musicians please comment and input at WT:WEIRDAL#the future!? Thanks again! — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 19:19, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Buckethead task force? (Or even project?)

I'm trying to install a task force under the Guitarists Project. Would you like to join? --HexaChord (talk) 22:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Associated Acts field in Musicians infobox

There is a discussion at Template talk:Infobox Musical artist#Associated acts, including a proposed change to the instructions for using this field. So far only 2 people are discussing it (since the proposal, not counting older discussions). More input is needed. Please come over and join in! --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 19:15, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Get on the Members list

I have copied the project userboxes into project workspace and fixed them up so that when they are copied to a user page, they put the user's name on a category page. The category is new; I'm the only one on it right now. Previously the userboxes were in the personal spaces of the users who created them, and I've given the creators credit. If you have an old userbox on your page, please replace it with one of the two offered on the project page, and your name will appear on the project members page. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 07:21, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Japanese/Okinawan folk music

Some time ago I created the category Category:Japanese folk musicians and a subcategory Category:Okinawan folk musicians after writing an article on Yukito Ara and needing an appropriate category to put him in. He is currently the only one in either of these categories.

If you are aware of any other already existing articles that could belong in these categories (min'yō 民謡 singers, etc.), please add them and help populate these lonely categories. Thank you. LordAmeth (talk) 15:10, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Discussion on what is a "notable instrument"

Well, actually more a discussion on the purpose, use and wording of the "Notable instrument" field on the Musical Artist Infobox. The discussion is here: Template_talk:Infobox_Musical_artist#Notable_instruments. The field is slightly problematic. Should it be removed or reworded? And if reworded, what should the focus be? How does this field differ from the "Instrument" field? Clearly there is intended to be a difference, but it is not clear what that difference is. SilkTork *^YES! 18:58, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
