Re: Underworld wiki
Life has been put on hold for the World Cup but normal service (kinda) will be resumed soon so I should go thru the pages and see what I can add.

me too...

First off, i think we need to make the text on the discography uniform, so basic things like below are standard:

Push Upstairs

NOT

push upstairs (lower case)

NOT

PUSH UPSTAIRS (all upper case)

both versions, of which, appear in some form or other on the discography pages - it looks shoddy...

If these haven't been changed by anyone i'll do it when i get the chance, and in the meantime if anyone is adding things please can we use standard English grammar, and not variations like those above, i suspect some chunks of text have just been copied and pasted from various sources, including my website, where its all capitalised, but my site is uniform in this, and i think the wiki should be too...

i know Raj has basically set this up so everything is there in some format from the start - which is great, now it needs tidying up in the detail and final (fine detailed) presentation. Raj has done a brilliant job in getting it all on there now we need to fill it out.

I've changed a couple of things in a few places already:

for example its: Why, Why, Why and NOT Why? Why? Why?

also in any descriptions i think we should move away from simple opinions and just put in facts, for example i changed part of the description for Rez:

It became one of their best club/live anthems despite the fact it could not be found on an album, to:

It became one of their biggest club/live anthems despite the fact it could not be found on an album.

i felt that read better...

and finally for now, i think we should take down anything that has no verification whatsoever, such as question marked releases '??' and things like the Spoonman promo - which, i suspect, never came out ever.

We can add these things back in, as and when they do surface (if ever) but i'd rather not see them on somewhere like this, i feel that these things are ok on fan sites, which like to speculate about releases and such, but as part of a discography on an official encyclopedia type site, i think they should be removed.
