[edit] Trent Reznor at FAC

I've nominated Trent Reznor for Featured Article status. Take a look and feel free to post some comments and/or vote on whether or not you think it matches the criteria. Drewcifer (talk) 05:31, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

As soon as I get home from school today I'll give it a review. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 15:20, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Nine Inch Nails task force

Suggest merging here to avoid branching of collaboration. –Pomte 23:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Year Zero (album) at WP:GAN

After a bunch of editing of Year Zero (album), I've nominated it for GA status. Take a look and let me know what you think! Drewcifer (talk) 10:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Well that was easy. It's already been given GA status. I plan on nominating it for FA soon, so please take a look at the article and make any last minute edits you might want to. Drewcifer (talk) 07:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

That's great news! It looks pretty good, and I think that taking it to FAC now would result in a pass once the whole process was completed. Tomorrow I want going to tweak a few more things before the nomination, if that's OK. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 08:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Of course, go for it. I think it could still use another copyedit sweep or two, so have at it! Drewcifer (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 09:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Is there anymore copyedits anyone feels needs to be done? If not, I'll nominate it at FAC. Drewcifer (talk) 13:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

The lead is still a little short, and it cold use a section about the music on the album. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 18:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Good call. I was looking through some of the other album FAs, and some of them have a similar section but some don't. But I definitely think it would be relevant here. Any articles in particular you think we should model it after? 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?) does something interesting, it describes each song in order. But I'm not sure if I like that. Be Here Now (album) does a pretty good job of it, I think. Any ideas on how to proceed? Drewcifer (talk) 18:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I think that descriptions of songs are ideal when the track list is somewhat low and/or when information for each track is available (I did this with Spiderland, which has only six songs, each with a full individual review from AMG). I think that for this article, a section describing the album's sound more generally (like Be Here Now) would be a good idea. I'm not sure what the album sounds like (I've heard it only once, when it streamed online) so I can't really help there. I can create a sample or two for the article if you want; I think that "Survivalism" and probably "Capital G" would be good in the article, but if you want samples put in tell me which songs to use. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 00:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello There

Hey there! I'm a long time user of Wikipedia and I have now began to become more contributive to it. I would really like to help you guys with expanding wiki's database of Nine Inch Nails information seeing as I'm a huge fan. I've already started to edit some past touring band members pages, updating their status in the current configuration of the band. Anyways, thats all for now. user:Heckler1337 - added at 23:14 UTC , January 14, 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 23:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Awesome! Welcome! Drewcifer (talk) 23:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alessandro Cortini

Perhaps we can upgrade this article from a stub to a start? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heckler1337 (talk • contribs) 14:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd say it's borderline. Feel free to change it if you like though. Drewcifer (talk) 14:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nine Inch Nails live performances

After a HUGE remodeling, I think the NIN live page is ready for GAN. I'll nominate it in the next few days, so if there's any last-minute additions/tweaks necessary, help yourself. Drewcifer (talk) 21:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 10 Miles High

Is 10 Miles High (and other NIN non-single tracks) really worth their own articles? I was thinking about nominating if for deletion, but I thought I'd bring it up here first. Drewcifer (talk) 04:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

The Alternative Music Wikiproject recently had a similar discussion, most of which centered on Nirvana songs. I would advise either redirecting the song to an album it appears on, or in cases where the song appears on multiple releases I would recommend nominating the article for deletion. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 05:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Nominated 10 Miles High for deletion, along with The New Flesh, At the Heart of It All, Just Like You Imagined. Joint nomination can be found here. Drewcifer (talk) 19:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move Closer to God to namespace: Closer (Nine Inch Nails song)?

Since the main version of the song is titled "Closer," it appears on The Downward Spiral as "Closer," it appeared on MTV, radio, etc. as "Closer," the single is listed in Template:Nine Inch Nails as "Closer," and numerous editions (both commercial and promo) of the Halo Nine single (US/Australia cassette and UK CD 1, to name two) are officially titled "Closer," I would argue the logical primary namespace for that article should be [[Closer (Nine Inch Nails song)]]. I propose moving the article and making Closer to God a redirect to it. If you have an objection, speak now.

Your friend, Augustus Chip (talk) 20:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree. But to keep things all in one place, let's discuss the change at the article's talk page. Drewcifer (talk) 20:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Filming location for Closure's "Gave Up" video?

I've been adding some info about Reznor's studio "Pig" / "Le Pig" to the article 10050 Cielo Drive and wondered if the video for "Gave Up" that appears on Closure (the live-in-the studio rerecording version with Brian Warner playing guitar) may have been shot at Pig. Unless I'm misremembering, the video was set in a home studio setup and featured some establishing shots of the house. If anyone can confirm that this video was shot at Pig, that info would make an excellent addition to the 10050 Cielo Drive article.

Your friend, Augustus Chip (talk) 00:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

That's the house alright, though I'm not sure where to find a source for that info. Drewcifer (talk) 03:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks; good to know we're on the right track, at least.

Your friend, Augustus Chip (talk) 21:05, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Old Closer to God redirect pages

In the process of moving Closer (Nine Inch Nails song) to its new namespace, I found and re-redirected a bunch of pages that had redirected to Closer to God; several of these had nothing listed on their "What links here" sections:

Any objections to the idea of getting rid of these pages? They seem useless to me. Also, assuming no one objects, how does one go about deleting them?

Your friend, Augustus Chip (talk) 21:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd leave them as is. They aren't doing any harm, and I would imagine alot of people unfamiliar with NIN outside of this one song might not know the actual song title, so they'd try one of the lyrics. Drewcifer (talk) 21:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Collaboration of the Month ?

So since we've got a pretty decent sized WikiProject on our hands – 13 people, not too shabby – howabout we figure out an article to collaborate on? Something like a "Collaboration of the Month"? I was thinking there's plenty of options to collaborate on, so maybe the first order of business would be to figure out which article. Personally, I'd like to see Trent Reznor improved to FA status. We could also focus on an album and perhaps work backwards – YZ is already at FAC, and Ghosts is at GAN – so I think that would leave With Teeth if we wanted to work backwards. Any ideas or suggestions? Drewcifer (talk) 08:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Let's get this Discipline (song) in order. There is a little information right now, I just cleaned alot of OR out of the article AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 12:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there's enough sources out just yet unfortunately. Might wanna give things a bit of time to develop. Drewcifer (talk) 13:41, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I think I jumped the gun - but I do think it's an article that we should give attention to. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 13:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Even though I am not part of the WikiProject, may I suggest focusing on a major studio release? Perhaps either Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral or The Fragile? I'm currently picking away at With Teeth. It can help towards making NIN a featured topic (see discussion). -- Reaper X 01:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Good point. Well, I think we just got our focus for a major studio release The Slip (album). News coverage is coming through slowly right now. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 15:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The long hard road to Featured Topic...

Moved this from the Nine Inch Nails talk page. Drewcifer (talk) 05:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Articles

Nine Inch Nails

Wikipedia:Featured topic criteria

WP:FT? presents the following requirements:

It is a set of similar, interrelated articles that cover a specific topic

(a) There are at least three distinct articles. Y Done

(b) The articles have a clear similarity with each other under a well-defined topical scope. Y Done

(c) All articles in the topic are linked together, preferably using a template, and share a common category or super-category. Y Done

(d) There is no obvious gap (missing or stub article) in the topic. A topic must not cherry pick only the best articles to become featured together. Y Done
The topic has an introductory and summary lead article or list. Y Done
Each article is of high quality, including references. N Not done

(a) A number of articles are featured class (featured articles or featured lists), according to the following rules:

(i) At least twenty percent (rounded up) of the articles are featured class. Y Done

(ii) At least two articles are of featured class. Y Done

(b) All other articles are good articles. N Not done

(c) Items that cannot achieve a high rating (as stated in 3.a and 3.b) due to their limited subject matter have passed an individual audit for quality which included a completed peer review with all important problems raised fixed. Such items cannot be used to fulfill criterion 1.a. Not Applicable

Glad to see the Live performances made FA. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 10:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Here's another (I think preferrable) option. Instead of having one massive FT, we can split it up into a couple smaller ones. IE:

Main page	Articles
Nine Inch Nails	Trent Reznor Nine Inch Nails discography^{(sub topic)} Nine Inch Nails live performances‎ List of Nine Inch Nails tours Tapeworm (band) Year Zero (game)^{(sub topic)}

Main page	Articles
Nine Inch Nails discography	Pretty Hate Machine The Downward Spiral The Fragile With Teeth Year Zero (album) Ghosts I–IV The Slip

Main page	Articles
Year Zero alternate reality game	Year Zero (album) Campaign timeline of the Year Zero alternate reality game Numbers in the Year Zero alternate reality game Chronology of the Year Zero alternate reality game Characters and organizations in the Year Zero alternate reality game Drugs and devices in the Year Zero alternate reality game Websites and phone numbers in the Year Zero alternate reality game

The subtopics of the main FT would of course link to the other ones. This is similar to how the Powderfinger discography FT works, with the subtopic going off into the various singles from Dream Days. Drewcifer (talk) 06:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
