ProgArchives on Wikipedia!

I see....

If you refering to me, Mr. James, you couldn't be more wrong.

The entry's still on?!Hmm..

Purely informational.   2) No mention whatsoever of any perticular member.   3) No mention whatsoever of "The Velvet Crew" or any similar likeness.   4) Don't mention any band members who may also be members on the forum without their consent.   5) If any member or review by a member appears in a picture, get consent from that member/reviewer before posting that image.

I quite agree, Stonie.

When I mentioned that there are band members on the forum, I didn't mean naming either the band in question, or the band member(s), but just mention the factual information that some band members do post here.

I think, apart from M@x and Ronie, we have deleted all mention of members on there and don't plan to add any in either.  The Velvet Crew and Swelsh information has also gone and rightly so.

The image in question was added by Imoeng, so if he wishes to ask the member in question whether it's fine to use his review example (which you cannot read clearly anyhow), he can do.

You need to highlight the fact that it's one of the few prog rock music sites that let anyone review an album (if they have an account of course) and that the admins are strict on which reviews will be kept.  You also need to highlight that those albums reviewed by prog reviewers and specialists, get a higher waiting, because these collaborators have been given the titles, because the admins feel they bring a vital addition to the website.

You also need to mention (but without going into detail), that the forum has a few members that are in bands that appear in the archives themselves.  Yes the site may not get media coverage so much, but I know a lot of bands, such as White Willow, list the wesbite on their website.  That's coverage.

We don't need the Velvet Crew part Ansen, I'm happy to see it go.

I'm referring to the PA entry, which is still there for the time being.

The section on The Velvet Crew is irrelavent to the layperson and may infact put people off reading the wiki entry, therefore it has gone.

The entry still exists in its own right at a separate wiki entry, but that will also soon disappear.

If we can make the relavent changes and not make it seem like an advert for the site, then there maybe a saving grace, but we'll have to be quick about it.

Wikipedia has strict guidlines.

I do however have an idea...

If we let them delete it, but save all the information... we can then make a much better entry from the old one and repost it and not have the previous edit history, that the current entry has.

Therefore, people won't have to read all the previous edit histories and read all the irrelavent stuff that was there originally.

The part about The Velvet Crew is gone. I'm afraid the main article will also be deleted soon.

No matter how many forums i frequent, and how much time i spend on them, i just never become part of the "team", you know? :)  Seriously though, that kind of internal jokes can scare people off. You do whatever you wish though, of course.. :) If you want to become part of the team, I suggest you take a step into the Velvet Room. However, be sure to bring everything you need first because once you're in, there's no way out! I could do that, but people tend to think that new posters that post in those kinds of topics are just out for postcounts :) then again, this is one of the most friendly forums i've ever had the pleasure of visiting. I guess it's a quality that's just inheritedly "prog", haha... We're always looking out for newcomers. Feel free to drop by

Haha, that sounds great. Thanks for the invite..
It will have to be in the future though, as it's kinda late where i am.
However, i'm gonna finish by asking a pretty unrelated question; Has anybody ever been kicked out of PA due to... unorthodox behavior (niiice...)? Any trolls you've needed to get rid of?
