[Wikipedia-l] Year in music

Wed Dec 25 19:52:02 UTC 2002

I didn't care for it from the beginning, especially since it seems to be solely dedicated to The Year in Rock Music, and all other genres are ignored.  Also, I don't like that he's predicting the future with "2003 in music", etc.

Having finally checked the Recent Changes last night and read some of 
the "Year XXXX in music" articles, I agree with Mr. Manske. I think this is 
not a good idea and foresee this followed by "Year XXXX in painting," "Year 
XXXX in dance," "Year XXXX in literature."
Further, the articles are rather summary, listing publication of songs, 
performers' highpoints, deaths etc.
I would think this information will be incorporated in Wikipedia in some 
other form eventually, if it isn't already. For me. it is hard to find much 
meaning in these entries, as events appear out of context. For this reason, I 
think we should consider whether this is a good idea, before it goes much 
further.

As Ever,
