I've just spent a while updating the On An Island page, trawling through news archives and checking details from the booklet. Lots of red links, which I'll try to update some information for.
Next up I'll tackle "2006 Tour - David Gilmour" and change it from being written in future tense!! Perhaps we could rename this article to "On An Island tour"?

Look no further Keith for I am your man. I have just joined the WikiProject PFon Wikipedia.org, not much going there.Keith Jordan wrote:Well, the history of Pink Floud project has the aim of filling the wiki up with info! I do add to it now and then myself and am disappointed that more poeple are not adding to it!!
Just tell me what needs expension and tell me.
BTW You need to start a maintenence system like they do on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Maintenance
That way someone would notice a problem on a certain article (expansion needed, needs cleanup, needs sources, deletion etc.) and they tag it. (example)
So don't see your wiki as a seperate project but as a seperate community.[/quote]

I would like the wiki project to be big enough to warrant the putting together a team of volunteers to look after it but, alas, people don't seem to be editing at it much! I really dont know why. Perhaps people need more education about what to do? Perhaps I will write a tutorial on the basics of editing to encourage people to edit it! Do you think I should disable the option whereby people are required to register before they can edit? Perhaps that barrier is stopping too many people from contributing?
Anyway, I think it would be logical to get the discography finished first. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

YES!!! That's what keeps me from adding to it- I'm technologically retarded, and don't want to fuck it up!Keith Jordan wrote: Perhaps people need more education about what to do? Perhaps I will write a tutorial on the basics of editing to encourage people to edit it!

I think a tutorial is a wonderful idea!

I'm going to 'adopt' David Gilmour. Some may have noticed I've updated all the On An Island related pages, and I'll now work backwards and do the In Concert, About Face and self-titled pages similarly. I'll also try to fill in all the blanks for the associated musicians that I've created links to (Wyatt, Bowie, Crosby & Nash, etc).
What's the intent with regards concert dates? At the moment we have mostly empty articles for the venues - why not create an article for each tour date, and include setlists and details of any bootleg recordings, etc? The naming system could mirror that on the tracker, eg DG-2006-05-27 would refer to a specific concert.
Also, why does Leaving Beirut redirect to Leaving Beiruth?

Sounds good, but there might be problems for some dates in 1987. Weren't Floyd and Waters touring at the same time, and no doubt sometimes playing on the same dates? Can cross that bridge when we come to it, but a simple fix might be to have the Floyd dates like you suggested, but add a -RW or -DG at the end of a date if it is a solo concert.
