:: [[User:JohnH|JohnH]] 22:21, 27 March 2006 (CST) I was thinking we needed some way of indicating that this was "under developement", so beta made sense to me.
 
== replace Lyrics and Chords links on Sidebar with Songs ==


If everyone is ok with Lyrics and Chords being combined on the individual song pages (see [[Blame It On Cain]] or [[Alison]]), then I think we should replace the '''Lyrics''' and '''Chords''' links on the '''Sidebar''' with a '''Songs''' link, and then rename the current [[Lyrics]] page to Songs. -- [[User:JohnH|JohnH]]
== Tower of London festival with Alan Toussaint ==
: Yes, I think that is good. We need to have a Songs stub so that we use this in future. - [[User:JohnE|JohnE]] 21:42, 7 April 2006 (CDT)

I am a major fan of Elvis's early work. I have tickets to the gig with Alan Toussaint. Does anybody have any idea what the likely setlist will be so that i can swot up. 


We need to have a place to store radio, TV and other non-concert appearances. - [[User:JohnE|JohnE]] 22:58, 23 April 2006 (CDT)

Here's a link to a reuters story describing EC as a "crooner".


We had a problem with the databse that stores the wiki info. This meant that we had to restore the wiki from backup. Unfortunately the last backup was from 26 April 2006, so changes since then need to be inserted again. Sorry for this.

We are putting a much more frequent backup scheme in place to avoid this in future. --[[User:JohnE|JohnE]] 22:49, 7 May 2006 (CDT)

In the Release Dates section, should we link "US", "UK" and "Japan" to Amazon or some other online purchase points?  (I'm thinking of ordering the Japan version, but don't know where to go...) -- [[User:JohnH|JohnH]] 17:12, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

Forthcoming schedule?

It would be good to have the forthcoming appearances for the next week or 2 on the Main Page. What do you think? Or is just a link to this more appropriate? --JohnE 19:58, 1 June 2006 (CDT)
