Talk:Whitby Goth Weekend

message: Might be worth filling in the older history? I know that the full line-ups from 1994 onwards are recorded in various places online, so we should be able to capture that info here. It might also be worth adding a bit more history text? Or maybe just a link to the Starvox history? Mrph 09:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, I know that October 2006 has sold out. And it might be fair to say that it usually sells out these days. But I've turned up and purchased tickets from the info stall 'on the day' before - only anecdotal evidence, but if we're actively going to claim that it always sells out, I think we need a source to cite. --Mrph 17:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Always sells out?

message: I'm not really bothered by what the heading is, but is there some reason for using "Alumni" over "Line ups"? I'm not aware of any such usage of the word in this context (and especially misleading if we are listing band line-ups in the future).
As an aside, it is probably not a good idea to mark reversions as "minor" - please see Wikipedia:Minor_edit. Thanks. Mdwh 22:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Wgw logo.GIF

message: I agree that sorting into a table is nicer , but I'm suspicious that a lot of the information for older years is incorrect. Was the editor who made this change working from sources, or just randomly splitting into each day?
I just fixed errors for October 2004, and I can confirm it's correct for April 2004 (again from the official flyer), but I don't know apart from that.
In particular, October 2003 had four nights... Mdwh (talk) 16:41, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've fixed October 2003 - reference is the official flyer (it lists Sunshine Blind instead of Faith and the Muse for Thursday, but I believe that was a change in bands after printing - the official website confirms this change  Mdwh (talk) 17:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Listing bands by each night? 

message: I think the numeric naming (as in X, X.V, etc) is wrong.  Autumn 2003 was definitely branded as "Whitby X", not X.V. (source, an original programme owned by a friend, of which I have high res photos of all pages).  I have a feeling April 2003 was "Whitby 10" and Autumn was "Whitby X", with April 2004 then being "Whitby 11". Can anyone who has promotional material from April 2003 conform this? 83.136.123.72 (talk) 17:00, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Should this article include lineups for the "Tomorrow's Ghosts Festival", which is running bands at the Spa as a de facto replacement for the Whitby Goth Weekend? I think one could argue it either way since it is a de facto but not a de jure replacement; conversely the rump of WGW intends to continue organising something at Whitby.
I have a conflict of interest; I am not associated with Tomorrow's Ghosts, but I am dissatisfied with the "old" WGW regime and hope for the success of the replacement. I hope other editors with a conflict of interest will also declare it. Pinkbeast (talk) 00:35, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
