Multimedia technology
- Hey Calicocat. I'm looking for a place to coordinate VST, Free audio software, Digital audio workstation, and other articles related to Multimedia technology, especially of the audio/video type. Could this project's scope expand to include that? (BTW,There was a comment tag on the project page that had commented out a big chunk of the page. I fixed it.) Quinobi 08:55, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Great, we need about 10 to 15 people to make this project really go, I think. at least 10. That's what's advised for projects. Some of these items fit on the articles list, so can certainly add those. Also any other thoughts are welcome. I see us looking at Media from the technical and the application side, creative solutions, compeating formats, economics, journalism, entertainment, law, ethics. Are you good at formating templates? A project needs a template to help promote it, those are placed on the talk pages of articles of relevance to the project. So we need to advertise the project some more as a good start. Hope we can make this go a bit. I'm also working on a related project on journalism. Calicocat 09:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- If you want to associate an article with this WikiProject just type in {{WikiProjectNotice|Media}} on its discussion page. I went ahead and stuck one on Multimedia which was nominated for an article improvement drive but never got improved. My interests are in things like audio production and the music business, but this seems like a good project to work through. BTW, haven't I seen you in #wikipedia? Maybe we can talk there and get some activity on this project rolling. Quinobi WP:CBTF 16:59, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Title and scope
Hi, Calicocat. The project title seems much wider than the stuff I saw listed so far. I'd like to suggest a middle ground, with a title of "Mass media", which would also include, for example, TV and records. Maurreen (talk) 15:02, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Media at this time, redirects to Mass media, which has a link to Media (disambiguation), which I just tried to expand a bit. We might could work from there to disambiguate the purpose and scope of this project. |wink| -----CQ----- key-up----- 05:38, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Suggestion for media articles
Hi there. I think it would be a good idea to start a series of articles on media bias in different countries/regions, or just media overviews in general. For example, the article Media bias in the United States would be well complimented by articles on the UK, Australia, Canada (although very close to US), Israel - in fact any country. I'd love to read about media bias in Russia, for example.
I know very little about most of these countries, but I'm willing to start the one on the UK as soon as I'm done writing my current research project (see User:Will Lakeman/Wikipedia research for details). I think it might make a nice series.illWill 22:47, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
