Hello there. I have started a discussion for the article Foals (band) on their origin, and there is a bit of edit warring from an IP regarding the lead section on whether the band is British or if they are English. I have started a discussion on the article's talk page for this thread: Talk:Foals (band)#British or English?. I would like to see some discussion to see if a consensus could be reached on whether they are British or English. The categories say they are an English band, but IP (who refuses to communicate in talk discussion) persists that it is a British band via their edit summaries. So far, there's been no communication from the IP and users I have pinged. HorrorLover555 (talk) 16:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could use some assistance sourcing and (preferably) trimming the discography for Jamaican musician and producer Aston "Family Man" Barrett, who died yesterday and is nominated for a Recent Deaths listing. Funcrunch (talk) 04:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 4 most common attributes seen on timelines are vocals (red), bass (blue), guitars (green), and drums (orange). I believe that the guitars (green) and drums (orange) are too similar (at least here on Wikipedia due to EasyTimeline's default shades), especially to someone like me who is partially colorblind.

I feel like, since these are the 4 most common instruments, then 4 vastly different colors should be used. Naturally, I'd say red/blue/green/yellow, but because of the white background, yellow is not practical. Thus, maybe a different shade of another color or dark purple or bright teal? Literally anything else besides this particular orange? (fyi I understand that there are plugins/options for colorblindness on browsers, but since these 4 colors are the most common, I figured that I'd bring it up due to

I also wanted to point out that I'm not trying to skew this towards only 1 disability (since there's indeed a few different ones than just mine). But that I think it'd be beneficial to simply have 4 vastly different colors across the board, such as the 3

primary colors (albeit with a different shade for yellow due to the site's background) but only 1 secondary (as opposed to how it is now with 2 primary and 2 secondary). Xanarki (talk) 04:56, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

The article Ozzie Melendez has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

many issues, no movement on fixes in 6.5 years. Not super notable and reads like an advertisement

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hi all, I'm just dropping this message on all of the WikiProjects associated with The Mary Wallopers. An IP editor has been repeatedly adding a line to the article describing their musical style as Anglophobia. I have been repeatedly removing these inclusions as I do not believe the source a) is reliable enough or b) discusses the supposed Anglophobia in sufficient detail to warrant its inclusion.

There is an active Talk Page discussion which both myself and the IP editor have commented on today. I would value your input either way on this discussion as I really just want to stop edit warring with this other user. Thanks. Xx78900 (talk) 23:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Xx78900 Have you applied for page protection, or reported the user(s) behind the edits? If not, I would recommend both options. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 04:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The contribution was sourced and, in the context of Ireland, there is nothing wrong with being Anglophobic. Threatening a user, even and IP user, with a ban is inappropriate. 2A00:23C6:7682:F101:B9BC:7F47:C3CA:6F67 (talk) 08:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A musician's article recently created underwent a review, and the reviewer decided to place a redirect to the band's article. They noted that a musician must be "notable" outside of their band. However, I'm not entirely convinced by this reasoning, and now it's causing some confusion. Anyone searching for the individual artist will be directed to the band's page, where there's no information about the person, only about the group.

The references used to create the article were from sources primarily focused on the band. However, within those citations, there was substantial information about the individual artist.

I believe the mere presence of enough references to compile an article, coupled with participation in various other projects (which can be cited and referenced within the article), should suffice? If an article is supposed to be based solely on references and they're are enough about the topic wouldn't that qualify?

This discussion brings up an interesting point. If musicians are expected to be notable outside of their band to warrant an article, it could exclude many talented artists, especially drummers or bass players, whose prominence is mainly due to their contributions within a band. In such cases, their significance lies in their role within the band rather than individual achievements outside of it. Therefore, the criteria for notability should consider the context of their contributions within the band. ChiliDog22 (talk) 17:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
