Talk:NeXT (demogroup)

message: Ok, just noticed a *this article lacks of context for people unfamiliar with the subject*.
I read the guide to layout, but I'm still not sure about what kind of context I should add.
Technically, finding something that works also for other similar pages (other demo groups) would probably be a good idea for the sake of coherency, don't you think ?
Here is the list of existing demo groups pages on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Demo_groups
I notice that a number of famous groups pages were deleted (like "The Carebears", "The Lostboys", "The Replicants", "Delta Force"), which is particularly annoying, because in turns it triggers the 'this page is orphaned' label.
The real problem here, is that I personally had to discuss hard to get this page kept on wikipedia, based on the fact I could provide a lot of hard facts, name lists, cross references with other sites, etc... to prove the existence of members, the publication in media, etc... and this took me a lot of time to do, despite the fact that as a member of the group I knew where to search. I did my search job. Doing the same thing for the other group pages is a lot more difficult, I do not have the facts, I can give lists of demos, or partial member lists, but I do not know all the real names behind the nicknames, I cannot give hardfacts about "The Carebears was the most fabous demo group on the atari st".
So in the end, to give context I probably have to give facts, and statements, that I have to be able to proove. And then the hell starts :D
Thanks for providing me with some easy/clear way to solve this dilemna.

thread_title: Lack of context

message: I posted the following on the move page (since I cannot do the move myself):
* Talk:Next_Demo_Crew – Next_Demo_Crew ? Next (Demo crew) – I made a bad choice of name when creating the page. (I based my choice on some existing pages in the same category, they should probably be moved too) — Mike 15:34, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested a move

message: I notice the article was listed for deletion. It may not produce any google hits on " Next Demo Crew", but it does on the words: Next Demo Crew atari. Perhaps it is just a case of bad article name, should it perhaps be: Next (Demo crew) instead? anyway, perhaps the author should justify it, not me. Jens Nielsen 14:46, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Should I remove the deletion warning on the page ???
:I'll remove it temporarily and replace it with a "not verified" tag. —IslandGyrl 16:36, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Editing 

message: :Image:Phaleon st format.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
