[edit] Jan 26 - Clean-up
I'm currently working on cleaning-up the page. We have a small team of people gathering the proper information to make the site more extensive. We also received a report that neutrality of this article is disputed? Please advise. Finally, we're cleaning-up our source citations/references and have create this Talk page.

- Hi there. That message was probably added for me because I included those tags. Sorry I didn't have time to give reason last time, but honestly, I'm here to help.
Basically, what you need to do is see the Wikipedia Manual of Style to get an idea how an article should look. It's great that each article is by different people, but regular editors try to make them look the same. A few edits I've made lately are to clean it up a bit.
There's also things like spelling, grammar and punctuation. I'll brush through the article in a minute and help you out with that. Also, (and this was a reason why I tagged it a while back), the article needs to be stating fact, rather than saying things like "...[their] music is quite enigmatic and often paradoxical" because that's a Point of View. We include opinions, but only from sources which we then cite.
Sorry, I know at this point I sound like I'm nagging, but I only mean to help out. I hope I've explained why I included those tags. Anyways, I could always keep an eye over the article if you like, otherwise if you need my help, leave me a message. Best of luck — cuaHL 10:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC) - Me again. I was looking through similar articles I thought you might want to look at to see what a good article looks like, and the best I found to use as comparison was Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction. Hope that helps. If you have any trouble using Wikicoding (ie. {| and |}) ask! — cuaHL 10:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jan 27 - Article naming and copyright
Thanks again. I'll be working to better the page. Quick question: I'm creating song stubs with information about RAQ's songs and their lyrics. How would I create a song stub for their song "Georgia" seeing that Georgia has so many articles already? Makisupa69 00:21, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Music for the basics. I think creating an article like Georgia (RAQ song) would be good, and making an entry on the Georgia (disambiguation) page. Also, be sure to check out this article section to see why I keep editing the subsections! Hope that helps — cuaHL 22:33, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- Also, I hope you don't mind me saying this but many editors may see the articles for each song as unimportant. Just so you know, I'm inclusionist, so it's not my personal opinion, but you'll get those opinions from others! If this happens, the article will be put on AfD. Why not consider putting all song information on an article for each individual album? For example, Shed Tech.
- Oh and as for inclusion of lyrics, be sure to check out the policy on lyrics. I've often seen lyrics been removed (eg1...eg2) but if the lyrics are owned by you, or someone you can get to release the lyrics, I don't see a problem! Hope that's enough homework for you ;) — cuaHL 22:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
