replies: text: I've just used the font they used on the cover of the album (Dream Days) and made it as an SVG image. Tell me if you like it. I can adjust the colour in the BG to be anything (I was thinking a gradient, but that can be easily done, too). --lincalinca 13:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't mean to put a damper on things, but this is a pretty narrow focus for a WikiProject.  Wouldn't it be more practical to create a WikiProject for Australian music (for example)? -- Chuq (talk) 04:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Appropriateness of this WikiProject 

message: I was thinking that maybe we should expand to cover all of Bernard Fanning's individual work, as well as Darren Middleton's work with Drag.  What do the other project members think about this idea? G1ggy! Review me! 04:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't read this until just now, but I did all the drag stuff last night. It all needs work, but there's a Drag article, one for each album/EP, song and categories for them. The drummer needs an article created, as he's also Powderfinger's live engineer. The other two ought to also. --lincalinca 04:27, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: WikiProject concerns

message: Is there a Predators page yet? I haven't actually looked yet but I'm guessing there isn't. I'm not totally sure what my point is, but I thought it'd be worth bringing up (as it was formed by 2 PF members and an ex-PF member) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matoran (talk • contribs) 
:No, there isn't (as far as I can see), but you are welcome, and encouraged, to create one (if the band is notable enough).  If you make one, it would be rated as low importance - G1ggy Talk/Contribs 01:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say they are notable enough, plus it gives more backbone to Steven Bishop having his own article. They're released an album on Dew Process and they have a page there. --lincalinca 04:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I've just added Passenger and Sunsets to the appropriate disambiguation pages.
Sunset (disambiguation) and Passenger (disambiguation). Slabba 03:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work.  On another note, great work on the tables on the Powderfinger article, but the thought just came to me that we really need refs for all those (especially chart rankings).  Got anything? - G1ggy Talk/Contribs 03:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's listed on the appropriate Hottest 100 lists. I've linked to them (under the year) and they're all referenced within themselves back to a source. --lincalinca 04:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, no. If you're referring to the yearly articles (eg. Triple J Hottest 100, 2004) they are currently have no source at all. RaNdOm26 17:18, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation 

message: The recent RS article, an interview with the band and Rob Hirst, contains some nice information that could be worked into the Finger article, as well as the Dream Days, L&R and Black Tears articles. I read somebody else's copy and don't have one to source from, but I do remember it contained some good commentary on a wide range of issues, so if anybody has one, flick through it and see what will be worthwhile. Wwwhhh 14:50, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a quick look, and could only find this - no article.  I'll search more later. - G1ggy Talk/Contribs 23:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rolling Stone Mag article 

message: I've just done the big job of changing all of the references on the Powderfinger page into Harvard References.  I just used today's date for the retrieval date.  There's still the mammoth task of converting the others refs on all of the other pages...  At least it will make it one step closer to becoming a GA. Slabba 06:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work. You could also use the  template if it is easier to write. RaNdOm26 06:20, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Didn't know about that template, but I'm fairly used to writing references, I couldn't remember if I had to use quotation marks around article titles, may have to look that up one day. Slabba 23:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Harvard Referencing 

message: Whew! Goteen through a stack of new articles in the last few days (3 in the last 10 minutes) so now we're much less red, far more blue, but we've now got a stack of stubs. Anyone interested in now helping upgrade all the articles? Anything that's stub to start, start to B and B to A/nom for GA? I'm throwing my hat in the ring. --lincalinca 11:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that we're now almost done with article creation, we might be able to do some focused collaboration.  Hopefully a bit more successfully then with Internationalist ;)  At the end of this week, after Lost and Running's collab ends, are there any suggestions for which article to do next?  Oh, and I'm throwing my hat in the ring too :D G1ggy Talk/Contribs 00:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Gah, I'm going to be away for two weeks.  If someone else wants to run the collab, go ahead. You need to update  and the to do list G1ggy Talk/Contribs 05:34, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Happy to step up. I reckon I'll do Bernard Fanning one week and Double Allergic the other. Any objections? --lincalinca 06:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Red to blue.... 

message: I've been busy this morning making a few changes, most notably on the Powderfinger awards page.  Also I fixed up the spacing in the Powderfinger template, and created some disambiguation links, i.e. My Happiness (disambiguation) and Songbird (disambiguation).  Also corrected a couple of minor things on the Lost and Running page.  Slabba 01:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Been busy 

message: I just created a new page for "Waiting for the Sun".  It's very similar to "The Metre" at the moment, needs a little work.  I also created a disambiguation page for Waiting for the Sun (disambiguation). Slabba 04:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Waiting for the Sun 

message: I've just gone through the Dreams Days at the Hotel Existence article and fixed up the grammar, it must be close to GA status now.  I think the references need to be updated, with a proper format, it will be a big job as there's about 30 refs.  Slabba 05:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work Slabba. I've been pottering around the Crowded House pages lately and have gotten a bit sidetracked from improving the dd page. It has been suggested that someone new look at the article and do a bit of a format before re-requesting the GA review. To me, though, the review just given really was with FA considerations, not GA. --lincalinca 05:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dreams Days 

message: I have just spent quite a bit of time creating tables on the WikiProject page to make things appear clearer.  I would suggest that as an article's rating changes can you update the table too, so that we can keep track of the progress of each article.  Also I think we should add every article to the tables, so we can keep track of their progress and just use the urgent table for very important things. I hope it doesn't seem like overkill, let me know what you think. Slabba 02:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also noted when I was going through all of the articles that there was 2 or 3 band members who weren't part of the WP Powderfinger, can't remember which ones.  I rated them, but if someone wants to check it out, please do. Slabba 03:22, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Band members you rated: Darren and Ian (on my watchlist, dunno how I missed them).  As for having every article on the tables, I'm not sure it's a good idea.  Unless someone wants to suggest something specific, we don't really need to tell each other that DDatHE is a B verging on GA (although I've placed it there citing the GA review improvements). Giggy UCP 03:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the headings you used for the articles on the project page Giggy.  I think we should see what the others think first before we remove them from the tables, I'm happy to remove the unnecessary ones  if its not helpful to people. Slabba 04:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Summary tables for Wiki Project 

message: I just want to say congratulations to everyone who helped contribute to the Dream Days at the Hotel Existence article as it is now has GA Status, especially Linca and Giggy.  Well done! :-) Slabba 23:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Aww, thanks Slab.  You and Random (and everyone else helped too =D.  Now, to FA! We mustn't rest on our laurels :P Giggy UCP 23:34, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm just wondering if our laurel that is Dream Days ought to be rested (though updated as events occur) as we contribute to expanding the flagship page to have a better account of 89-98 and bring it up to GA and also get all of the individual member pages up to at least B class. I think priority #1 should now be towards getting Powderfinger to FA. I'm sorry I can't contribute as much as I used to here, now that I've also got the same task ahead of me for my new project with Crowded House, Split Enz (have a look at the logo I just did there :p ), Tim Finn, Finn Brothers and Neil Finn... I'm going to be busy for a while. Haha. Good luck guys, but that's my opinion with the project's priorities. GA's good enough for DD for now. --lincalinca 05:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Powderfinger is right up there as well.  But an FA would be  nice....working on both wouldn't hurt!  On, and nice logo :P Giggy UCP 22:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA Status 

message: As noted here and here, I'll be taking a break, and will hopefully return in about a week.
