I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to someone who posted on the Deletion page for ProgArchives on Wikipedia.

But the deletes are 6 and the keeps are 3, so it's looking likely to be deleted.

By the way, I was curious as to why you wanted it deleted?

Oh, is that you, Rico?

There are other websites with forums that have wikipedia entries, so we thought it would be a good idea to add a wiki for the page.

If it goes, it goes, I understand the reasons for it.

I think entry for P.A on Wikipedia should read:

Why should I,Imo? I'm not fit for something like that.Nor do I have the references or the desire to manage something like that. In my opinion, Prog Archives should be an external link or most of all a connotation of "a fabulous, extensive, extraordinary reference to prog rock and et etcaetera" Confused inside the progressive rock main section of Wikipedia.

This side exteriorization of the site and of the forum is merely a mellow appreciation of its value. You literally explain the features of the site and the definition of the section, you succintly describe the normal characteristic and so on...

I don't want to elaborate much on this, yet I don't really feel content with what was made. And a "d.i.y. then" response is also something I don't consider valorous...

So what you were saying is there shouldn't be a PA article on wiki? Is that because of the entry James and I have put in or you just simply dont want it there? Confused 
 
If its because of the information there, why dont you make it better? Because you dont have the desire to do so? Well I do, and I think many people here as well, as I reckon its better to improve than delete. Moreover, I rather silent than say something like you said.
 
I think progarchives is one of the biggest reference (and there is also progarchives.com in the external links on prog rock article) in progressive rock and deserves a place on wiki.

Not a very coherent conversation, Imo, I'm standing by my opinion.

Hey Rico, Don't be so harsh on Wikipedia. I just went there and searched for Ricochet and I found the reason why you chose your name for this forum:
 
 
Do you still have the tartan trousers?

LOLLOL... That's not possible!

But he post rock team consists of GS alone and Bryan who is also a PM specialistWink
 
Funny you should say that considering Jimbo does probably the most work of any post-rock team member... Tongue
