Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Post-hardcore/My Chemical Romance task force/Archive 1

message: I think we need a to do list or something because there are some things I can think of that should be done and more people that might want to join can see in what direction we're heading. Just some things I think need to be done:
*New picture of My Chemical Romance
*Genre resolution
*Clean up of all new song articles (on The Black Parade page)
*Clean up of The Black Parade so as to include an Overview (this includes the concept) and then add a section for the whole Black Parade controversy. Like how people thought of different theories for what the Black Parade was and the whole mystery.
Thos are just some other things that I think should get done.  Orfen User Talk 03:42, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi all!
I think we should all introduce ourselves and say why and how were helping this project.
I'm Matt Oakes. I'm 15 from Cheshire, England and I'm a massive My Chemical Romance fan. I've been a fan since the music started filtering onto british music channel in 2004 and have been a massive fan ever since. I plan on helping the project by adding as much as I know to all the articles and helping to organise the project. --Lotrgamemast 21:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea, I'm Mitchell. I also am 15 and from Illinois. I have been a fan of My Chemical Romance for a while now, probably since 2004 as well. I was introduced to them by my cousin and have been hooked ever since. Basically I have been following the whole Black Parade mystery from the beginning since the site came out over the summer and have been keeping up with all new information. I have been contributing to the My Chemical Romance related articles probably more out of any other articles right now. For this project I have created the Our Lady of Sorrows article and I am also attempting to get a genre resolution for My Chemical Romance. I am trying to watch vandalism on all related articles and adding, removing, and revising information as appropriate. But my goals for this project is to eventually make My Chemical Romance article a FA and a couple song articles Good articles if not Featured. Right now I want to get a genre resolution though so we can finally get community consensus on a genre. Anyways, nice to meet you, and looking forward to working with you. If you need anything, let me know.  Orfen User Talk 22:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok. So my name is Hunter and I'm only 12 1/2. I live somewhere in New Hampshire, but I don't really want to tell you. You can try and figure out where yourself, but I really don't anyone writing it out in clear view. I like to make my identity a little mysterious, plus, I don't want to end up getting stalked, but I seriously doubt two 15 year old will find where I live and sneak into my house. So, I became a MCR fan over the summer after I heard one of their songs a friend had. I had heard of MCR before that, but had never heard their music, and people I know always said they were emo and really weird and played bad music. But once I heard it, I realized that everyone that said those things were dead wrong. I progressively became more and more "obsessed" with MCR, and here I am now. Like Orfen, I hope to make the MCR an FA, and I also hope to resolve the genre dispute. Just to let you guys know, you guys make it sound like something being emo is a bad thing, but I don't really see why. I'm not exactly emo (ok, maybe 1/4), but I love the music and have complete respect for those that are emo. So, you make it sound like you would hate the band if they were emo. But whatever, maybe that' just me. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 00:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem that people have with it is the fact that by "emo" they are saying My Chemical Romance promotes self harm and stuff usually associated with being emo. However My Chem is total opposite of this where they promote hope and living. I don't think emo people are bad or anything but I feel that emo really doesn't mean anything, I never say it in real life. I think what people need to understand is that depressed and emo have different meaning but people are saying MCR is this emo depressed band. I just think they don't deserve to be labeled as something they are not. I wouldn't hate them if they were emo because I am one of those My Chemical Romance fans that are practically obsessed. I seriously can't get enough of their music and am constantly amazed at what they do. I just feel the term emo is being thrown around way too much lately and we should only use it where appropriate. But that's my thoughts on the word emo.  Orfen User Talk 20:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

text: i never really thought mcr to be emo. people really think that just because some current music is dark, they think it's emo. i always thought that they were more goth and metal influenced. which, as far as i know, emo came from punk. but this is all totally my opinion. i also think that even if they aren't emo, there sould be somthing in the article saying how lots of people think that they are. but again, this is all just my opinion on the subject.Dizzydark 18:17, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I think some areas of thier music is somewhat punk based and they have said themselves in the recent iTunes interview that some of the newer stuff that they didn't put in the album were "straight punk songs", so there is that element in there. I however do think that they also have some metal sound in the first album and a little less coming towards the newer stuff. The music/riffs in Three Cheers for sweet revenge is very punk infuluanced.--Lotrgamemast 23:14, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

text: That would make them boring if it was only one genre. I really think it is more punk influanced at the start and more metal nearer the newer stuff.--Lotrgamemast 00:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

text: i agree with all that. and i think if i go any farther with this whole emo thing, theres just gonna be another thing on what genre they are and/or arent. but i really dont think there can ever be a definate answer.Dizzydark 00:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I think they should all be looked at. There is definatly a story, but there is no original research on Wikipedia. I think these should be discussed and maybe searched for on a different website or something. There is a story and it should be put down on The Black Parade page each of the individual pages but there isn't allowed original research on Wikipedia.  Orfen User Talk | Contribs 23:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I just want to thank whoever it was that did The Patient's Story for Mama. I was having a really hard time with that one, and I had tried to write it many times, but it never translated well. So again thanks to who did that, and the Patient's Story is now done. The only two songs that don't have them are Sharpest Lives and Teenagers, because they don't seem to relate to his story. If anyone thinks they do, feel free to add a Patient's Story section to them. Also feel free to add or remove from the existing Patient's Story sections if you feel there's a need for it.

Hi guys!  I'm Jude ( the female kind of Jude, not the Law kind ) and I'm 21.  I don't have a "home town" because I've lived everywhere, otherwise I'd state one.  I typically use British English, but on articles that aren't about Britain or British people, I try to use American spellings and phrases.  If you see me slip up and put something "too british" in, feel free to edit.  I definitely won't be offended.
I've been an MCR fan for about 4 years now; since Bullets came out.  I recently wrote a letter to The Sun (newspaper) about their "Emo" article which poked fun at them personally rather than fairly and about their music.  I invite you all to do the same, if you wish.--Jude 01:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The part I could see that should be deleted is the part about saying it was in an article. If that article is not found then that part should be deleted. We do need a source saying that they had a disagreement and I don't even know how the song "Disenchanted" has anything to do with My Chemical Romance's relationship with The Used. That I feel should be sourced or even removed since it doesn't seem to apply anymore.

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages: 
*User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
*User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
*User:Badbilltucker/Science directory
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory.
The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. 
It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Not only is the entire thing devoid of basic necessities such as question marks; the link to the song page is dead because it is typed as 'Vampires Will Never Hurt You' and the layout is far from genius.

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

It has Matt in it and since he is no longer in the band it is not current information, but if I am wrong and you would just like to use it towards the Early Career section then fine, but I don't think it should be used as the main picture. I'd rather go without a picture than add a non-current one. For the Sum 41 article as soon as a member left their band they stopped using him in the main picture. Since Matt left quite a bit ago I don't think we should use it as the main picture.  Orfen User Talk | Contribs 22:08, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Should contact the band's management company and see if they'll release a photo for your use, or better still, under the GFDL (basically "any use for any purpose") There's form letters somewhere around on Wikipedia that you can send out. The plus side is they get to have whatever photo *they* want of themselves up there. For CD covers I'd recommend looking at the rationales used on the Tool page's images, last I checked they were all correctly done for CD images for fair use. Orderinchaos 15:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It apparently is a rare EP that only about 200 or so were released as a supplement to a show they did early on, I believe that they were sold out before the band even got a copy. There isn't much information about it or the other EP so not much can be sourced anyways. This is why I am not sure if we should create an article for these EPs as they are fairly insignificant and if there isn't much to source anyways it wouldn't last long. Especially with The Black Parade songs up for deletion. Not enough significance and lack of sources is going to be the end of those articles unfortunatly.  Orfen User Talk | Contribs 21:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the article is not a featured article, although I have no doubt you're all working hard to make it one in the near future, and wish you well on that. However, adding it to the queue will not make it a featured article, and may attract complaints which may prejudice the very people whose votes and help this project needs in the Featured Article Candidates process later on against doing so (I'm not an FAC reviewer, but I worked with some a while back and they are very helpful and very thorough).

thread_title:  Article Assessment 

message: I have been adding multiple things for this WikiProject and helping put it through a revamp sort of thing. I have added the Article Assessment Department which was created to help be a collection of our assessment information. Also I have moved the member list and added a sidebar for the WikiProject with some suggested pages we should create. I moved the member list as it was getting quite long. Everyone is still there but a majority of the people are inactive and I don't see too many discussions on this page almost making the project inactive. I think as a project we need to band together and make our contributions known and act as a project. That is why I added a departments section. We can create an Outreach Department to help recruit new members and create Newsletters to help keep everyone up to date. Also as suggested above we can have an My Chemical Romance Collaboration of the Month which can help us concentrate bringing up those B-Class Articles to Good Articles or Stub Articles to B-Class or something like that. Also I would suggest creating a Portal as well as a News page for WikiProject news and a Guidelines page for guidelines in creating new articles for the project. While my ideas may be big most of us have joined because we like My Chemical Romance, so why should they not deserve some Featured Articles? I think this project can be very successful and but I of course do not want to do it alone and I would like to have everyone's imput on ther project and where we should go with it.  Orfen User Talk | Contribs 23:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

And that is just my main reason for this discussion. I think we need to have some organization and actually concentrate on fixing up MCR related articles. While the discussion isn't directed upon you personally it'd be helpful to get some free active members working on making this project into something big and having notable contributions. I think the main thing is organization which is why I suggested to create more pages and more departments and get members assigned to specific tasks instead of just running around.

Someone's undoubtedly going to point to that picture of Gerard with those cheerleaders as a better source. Please keep in mind that My Chemical Romance has not stated that it's a picture from the video shoot for Teenagers.

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.  This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year.  Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

I also deleted a piece of info on the Frank Iero page, which needed a citation, because of false info. Grungedude22 (talk) 12:00, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: That's what I thought, but it had [citation needed] next to it, so yeah. Grungedude22 (talk) 11:01, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Oh, I just found the reason why. It's mentioned twice in the article, once in Musical Style & Influences and once in Criticisms, the one that 'needed a citatation' was in Musical Style & Influences. Which do you think fits it best, or shall we leave both in? Grungedude22 (talk) 11:05, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations. 
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible. 
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

message: Hi!  I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate.  This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group.  If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I propose turning this project into a task force of either WikiProject Punk music or WikiProject Emo. The rationales for this are:
#The scope is too narrow to warrant the administrative overhead of a full project. The WikiProject Council guide recommends that if a project might only ever have a few dozen articles and a handful of members, a task force is a much more suitable alternative. The topic of My Chemical Romance has only 31 in its scope and isn't likely to ever have more than a few dozen. The project has been inactive for at least 6 months, and many of its members are inactive.
#The task force could benefit from using the parent project's administrative infrastructure, which is already in place. These include assessment scales, categories, etc. The project does not really merit its own assessment scale or categories as, again, it's only ever likely to cover a couple dozen articles at best.
#Becoming a task force would encourage members of the parent project to join the task force, thus spurring activity in the most critical area: actual article editing.
In general, full WikiProjects dedicated to a single musical artist/act almost always die of administrative overload. A vast majority of artist-specific Wikiprojects peter out and become inactive; a task force of a larger parent project is a much more suitable means of encouraging editor collaboration around artist-specific article families. Please voice your opinion below, and if there are no objections within a couple of weeks I will go ahead with a task force merger. --IllaZilla (talk) 00:52, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:38, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone.  Articles were selected based on their assessed  importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the My Chemical Romance articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details.  You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010.  As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide.  Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

message: The moving of WikiProject My Chemical Romance to it's own WikiProject page. MCR's singer Gerard Way does not see MCR as an emo band, as a matter of fact, he condemns the description. See this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hallows AG (talk • contribs) 09:51, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The "MCR isn't emo!" business is a very old, tired topic. It makes no difference whatsoever what Way thinks: Numerous reliable, third-party sources have described the band as emo and placed them within that style. Ultimately this has no bearing on whether this should be a stand-alone project or not: The only thing that does matter is whether the topic area of MCR is broad enough to warrant a stand-alone project, and whether there is enough active editor interest to keep it going. It's not and there isn't. That's why this project went inactive very shortly after being launched, and why it was instead transformed into a task force of WP:EMO, the most relevant parent project. Your opinion about the band's genre is irrelevant in this regard. You may want to read the Wikiproject council guide for advice on Wikiprojects and task forces. --IllaZilla (talk) 14:16, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
