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 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]

Form and Style in the Music of U2

I have found a 2008 thesis that may be of help:

Endrinal, Christopher James Scott (2008). Form and Style in the Music of U2 (Thesis). Paper 564. The Florida State University.
Code:
{{Cite thesis |type=Thesis |title=Form and Style in the Music of U2 |url=http://diginole.lib.fsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1394&context=etd&sei-redir=1 |last=Endrinal |first=Christopher James Scott |year=2008 |publisher=The Florida State University |series=Paper 564 }}

It was submitted to the College of Music of the Florida State University in 2008. I gave it a quick look and it seems to have some interesting information about designs, sonic and stylistic characteristics, musical complexity and analysis, ... in U2's music. Happy editing! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 11:12, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone post the information for me??  Miss Bono (zootalk) 12:18, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've added all atricles suggested by Melicans to Wikipedia:WikiProject U2/to do. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:07, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The U2 360º dead links have been fixed for a while now (by me :D)... Shall I remove it from the to-do list?Difop (talk) 18:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A few months ago, I asked Mabeenot, how big must be the changes in a WikiProject to request for an interview and he told me this:

So, I was thinking about gathering all the improvements we have had until today and add them to this ^{click me!} list. We can see better what we have done so far and gain organization -which is the best thing in a team- More organization, we work faster. Also, I was thinking about this Melican's section Looking forward: article pushes to FA, and cleaning up the garbage, it is a great thing to work on, but I can't do it by myself. I am going to ask Y2kcrazyjoker4 and Dream out loud since they seems to be experts in GA and FA and have been working on U2 related articles for a long time. There are plenty of things to do and I will need help. So... thoughts? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 13:41, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to push some articles to FA/GA, although I think we should focus on the group's more prominent songs/albums. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 13:52, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
