Working on articles

[edit]

I'm working on articles for the phenomenon - The Memphis Sound: Southern soul, Southern rock, Stax, The Mar-keys ) and members and other Memphis Sound people:

Introduction

[edit]

I believe the introduction is getting too long now and should be shortened. I may shorten the intro myself when I get around to it. Steelbeard1 (talk) 12:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the last paragraph of the intro is expendable as it duplicates info in the body of the article. What do you think? I may delete it myself tomorrow. Steelbeard1 (talk) 14:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think far too much has ben removed. The intro should properly summarize the topic at hand, to where one doesn't necessarily have to read the (on the long side) article to get the general gist of who or what it is about. The old intro also had the misfortune of having a poor tone (While Stax almost exclusively produced African-American music, the label is noted for having several popular ethnically-integrated bands." is a very problematic sentence), At three paragraphs (one of which is rather short), the new intro properly sets up the article, and explain the important points of what Stax was, who was primarily involved with it, and why they are important enough to have an article. --70.119.13.45 (talk) 22:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The hyperlinks for the musical group, The Astors, is wrong. The link leads to The Astor Family - the richies in NYC, who are descendants of John Jacob Astor Sibber91 (talk) 00:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC) sibber91 Sibber91 (talk) 00:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
