[edit]You say to only remove the album if its infobox is complete. So you're saying, do not remove this album? Amnesiac. If that's the case, I suspect the majority of the albums will be incomplete :( Gflores 20:50, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Should those with infoboxes in need of conversion be removed? Gflores Talk 05:39, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
How do you sign up to be officially part of the project? Eyeball kid Talk 17:03, 24 January 2006 (EST)
- Hello. There is no real sign-up. However, you may list your name in the maintained banner up top. Simply add a comma after Reflex Reaction's name and put a link to your user page. Gflores Talk 22:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
OK, so what happens after all the album articles are corrected and/or created?
- 140.232.156.122, thanks again for your contributions. If the album has been created feel free to remove it from the list, as the goal is to reduce this list to nothing. But you may want to consider instead of "correcting" the link creating a redirect so that common mispellings go to the correct album. For example I created redirects to Boy in da Cornert and The Glow, Pt. 2. Creating redirects is simple and is sometimes easier than removing it from the list. Just type #Redirect [[Correct title]], check out Wikipedia:Redirect for more info. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 15:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
All right. Now everyone who takes things off, make sure you add the changes to the list on the main page, and ideally make the calculations to adjust the % remaining. That'd be fantastic, and a whole lot easier on us.Eyeball kid 02:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Anyone know why there's a search option? Eyeball kid 21:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sure you've figured it out already - but it's there to help find existing albums if they exist under different titles in wikipedia or to help find info out about the album. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 16:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Percentages
[edit]I have ctreated two articles (By the Light of the Moon (album) and Kiko (album)) and have taken them off the list. At one point I changed the percentages, but I only based it on number of albums that still do not have an article and not the ones that still need an infobox. Did I do this correctly? or should I add the two list numbers together and calculate from there? --WillMak050389 16:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- The latter - they are still on the list so they should still be counted as "needing to be done" --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 23:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- All right, thanx, I will fix that up then. --WillMak050389 02:36, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Italics
[edit]Shouldn't all albums listed here appear in italics?--Sparklism 22:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Doesn't seem like a high priority since it's a listing for editors and the titles get deleted once the articles are created. However, if you'd like to go through each line and make the edit, I won't stop ya. :) -MrFizyx 00:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, now that I've thought about it...no thanks --Sparklism 12:44, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Images/Swingin' Easy
[edit]I've found a listing online for this combo title as "acclaimed", here, but tracing the working links only discloses Swingin' Easy. I found album information on 'Images, including the cover, on an active e-bay sale. It's not the same album judging by the tracklist, but seems to include some of the same songs. It's described at the sale site as "some of the best recordings Sarah Vaughan recorded from her years on Mercury and EmArcy." that's a similar description to the AMG note on Swingin' Easy, here. Though by no means a reliable source, this biography currently states that an album called Images was re-released as Swingin' Easy. I wonder if it was updated. I haven't resolved this mystery yet, but periodically poke at it. If anybody finds or knows something definitive, please share. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Ebay page says Images is a 10" LP (8 tracks) released in 1954. Going by the track listings and personnel there and on my copy of Swingin' Easy, it looks as if Images was the original issue of a 1954 session, and they expanded it for release as a 12" by adding four tracks recorded in 1957 with a different pianist and bass player. The CD issue I have also has one (very short) additional track from the 1957 session. The Ebay page about Images is a little confusing because it includes information about Swingin' Easy. Jimmy Jones doesn't appear on Images, he is on the tracks from 1957. Brunton (talk) 13:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've added a note about this to the existing article about Swingin' Easy. Does Images warrant a separate article, or should we perhaps have a redirect from Images (Sarah Vaughan album) to Swingin' Easy? Brunton (talk) 15:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not late on noticing this one, am I? I think the redirect should do. Thanks! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Finally noticed response and created redirect, also added title to "image" disambiguation page. Brunton (talk) 22:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Jazz-L 100 list
[edit]User:Mel Etitis had started a Jazz-L 100 project. His goal was to create, expand and/or improve articles about the albums in the list of the top 100 jazz albums, as suggested by subscribers to the Jazz-L mailing list and Usenet group. His user subpage shows a number of red links and non-links that could use some work. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
