@IRONICtypo: examples? are these registered users? how about writing them and say something like: wiki edits need to be licenced under: cc by sa AND gfdl since this permission is missing (I guess most of the times it will be), it must be deleted and our lawyer is contacting your lawyer right now :-)

Anyone else hate the rising trend of labels replacing the whole wiki article of a band with a press release? Ugh.

those guidelines are great and include a lot of things I already do and insist everyone else adapt.

not to sound like a broken record (how appropriate!) but seeing as how we *are* the wiki improvement group, couldn't we make a formal group request to the staff to put in a decent set of bbcode buttons (plus all the special ones) to make life easier for wiki editors? it's so ridiculous to have to draft/edit wikis in a journal or forum page (because they have the buttons and wiki pages don't!) and then copy/paste them onto the wiki page. i don't think it's too much to ask?

Yes, I've suggested birthdate, birthplace, etc. for solo artists in the past, but it was ignored, probably because the system can't tell whether an artist is a group or a person. I support the use of those band markups in solo artist wikis :D

this thing about placeformed, yearformed, yearsplit etc - it applies only to artist groups right? not solo artists? just want to be clear. some wikis i've come across have placeformed tagged to place of birth(!), yearformed as the year a solo artist's career took off, so to speak, and... yearsplit as the year the artist died! i hope i did not assume wrongly.

Try "Akron, Ohio, United States" instead of just "Akron, Ohio".

I've submitted a query to the forums since there's a problem with the [placeformed] tags (among other things, a glitch is causing the wiki for a band from Akron, Ohio is proclaiming they're from "Cleveland, United States")

Hi, All! I'm the new co-leader! please message me if you need anything. Currently, i'm in the middle of adding the new yearformed, yearsplit and placeformed tags to as many wikis as I can. Whenever i'm on the site, i'm usually available.
