I have propose the WP U2 for a WikiProject report. Cross your fingers!!  Miss Bono (zootalk) 17:10, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We've already interviewed WikiProject U2 before. Have there been significant changes at the project that would warrant conducting another interview? –Mabeenot (talk) 04:13, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think all of our efforts for the input of the project should be shown to everyone  Miss Bono (zootalk) 11:58, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On Bono's Talk Page there are some suggestions for improving the article and finally get it as a GA article.  Miss Bono (zootalk) 18:49, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently taking care of this U2 360° Tour task on the project's main page. Difop 12:12, 13 April 2013‎

Thanks! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 18:44, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, thanks!...  Miss Bono (zootalk) 18:51, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's now finished :) Difop 18:28, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are several U2 articles which are relatively close to featured article status, in my opinion (or at least, they were prior to my relatively lengthy absence). These could, I think, be promoted without an excessive amount of difficulty. They are:

1. U2 concert in Sarajevo
2. "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"
3. "Exit"
4. "So Cruel"
5. "Love Is Blindness"

Most of these are already close to the FA standard; in the case of the song articles, all that they are missing is composition information (as presented in "City of Blinding Lights", "Mothers of the Disappeared", and "One Tree Hill" for examples on what is needed). I can't read music beyond identifying beats per minute and the time signature, so if anyone is able to assist on that front it would be appreciated.

In addition, while the project is looking at bringing Bono and The Edge to GA, I'd like to see Larry Mullen, Jr. and Adam Clayton given a Good Article Reassessment. Both were promoted in September 2007, five and a half years ago, and the standards have changed dramatically in that time. I think a GAR would be the most effective way to see what the articles need to actually be at the Good Article quality threshold. Thoughts?

I think that's a great idea. Thanks for join!! I hope you are healthy now!! Cheers!  Miss Bono (zootalk) 12:28, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is a good idea to update the Tasks section at Wikipedia:WikiProject U2/rightpanel by adding this "work plan" (or parts of it), and also to add these pages (all or part of) to the collaboration of the fortnight department. Unfortunately, I cannot help with the music, but I will have a look around and if I find something I will let you know. Cheers! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 14:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To all members of the project. Please leave a comment about the new WP U2 barnstar. Thanks.  Miss Bono (zootalk) 14:27, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great, excellent use of different icons from throughout the band's career! Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 20:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's very creative, but unfortunately the three images are all copyrighted. I apologize but I had to put it up for speedy deletion since it violations Commons' policies on non-free images. –Dream out loud (talk) 21:46, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will create a new one without the imagesand will ask Cullen328 if he can upload it for me. But what else can remember to U2 more than the icons through the band´s career. I need some fresh Ideas....thanks-- Miss Bono (zootalk) 21:57, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dream out loud, I'm not sure, but is it possible to replace the image with a blanked version (a transparent PNG, the star with the target but without the three images, or File:Original Barnstar Hires.png) while we are waiting for the new version (which will surely come :D)? In this way we avoid Cullen getting a file deletion on his log.←(I was too late with this; the file has been deleted.) The word "U2" could be an (easy and simple but not so very "artistic") alternative to the three copyrighted images. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:19, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on the new barnstar. It will be ready for next week. I promise. Maybe for today, I don´t know yet.  Miss Bono (zootalk) 13:04, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To all the members of the WP: U2. Please, leave a comment about the Newsletter for this month (suggestions for the next newsletter will be well appreciated ) Thanks.  Miss Bono (zootalk) 13:07, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than "monthly", I think these newsletters will be more like "every few months" (bimonthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual) or "as needed", because, in my opinion, there are few news and not enough content for a monthly newsletter. We also need a list of subscribers to the newsletter, but, I would like to see how this discussion proceed first. Happy editing! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 14:53, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just added our newsletter to the Category:Wikipedia news which perhaps will give us more visibility. (It now shows up at the newsletter's end, just like any other article). There are 76 mostly project newsletters there. There is also another page called Wikipedia: News, which we can add ourselves to; perhaps when we decide how often we will be publishing. I agree that we probably don't need to send something out every month. Thanks ! Fylbecatulous talk 02:04, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved Vaillancourt Fountain out of my sandbox to article space. U2 performed at the fountain on November 11, 1987. Comments and improvements are welcomed. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 19:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is GREAT!! :D---- Also I would prefer a pict from the 1987 concert :D Miss Bono (zootalk) 11:58, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cullen, it's very interesting, thank you. I've moved the See also section above the References section and added the geolocation coordinates (please, check out if it points to the correct place). I'm not sure if Template:Infobox Sculpture→{{Infobox artwork}} or {{Infobox monument}} can be used on this article. I'll investigate it. Happy editing!
(upadated: 14:28, 6 May 2013 (UTC)) – Is this fountain listed on the US National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)? Some internet resources say it. If it is true and this fountain is listed on the NRHP, then you can add {{Infobox NRHP}} to its article (as per Buckingham Fountain). I've tested the page with some tools at toolserver (WebReflinks, Reflinks, Checklinks, and Dab solver) and it is PERFECT!
