message: 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 MOS:ACCESS).

replies: text: 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).

message: 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)

thread_title:  The Mary Wallopers and "Anglophobia" 

message: 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)

replies: text: If you don't know already, be aware that infoboxes are a source of great contention among classical music groups. Some groups take the attitude that if one doesn't already exist for an article, it is not to be added; new articles that come with infoboxes are ok. For some reason some people are very vociferous in their dislike of infoboxes (I'm all in favor of them). - kosboot (talk) 20:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

text: I’m new to the concept of templates and the parameters they have, so I was wondering if someone can make some for this since I had no idea how to make them. If someone tells me how I will gladly develop this template further. Nickkontek (talk) 16:59, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
