Fair use rationale for Image:Castingcrownslogo.png

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

References !!!

Casting Crowns's myspace is not enough reference, not at all. The article really needs references !!! --JB (talk) 20:30, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

members

Most band articles have a "members" section, but they format it differently. Usually, it is divided by instrument and has- "Name (years active in band)." If you guys don't mind, I'm going to reformat it like that. -Kanogul ^(talk) 23:32, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Melodee was replaced by a male violinist on the one off concert in Sydney. Might have also been with them in NZ for concert(s) there.. Forget his name. Can dig it up if that is relevant.

Seems she was busy having/had the baby )

introduction

I would really like to get this article on up there to maybe even an A-class or Featured article, so I'm going to work on it. I believe the introduction is too long, and maybe just the first paragraph should be kept where it is. The rest should probably be moved into a "History" section or something. What do you guys think? -Kanogul ^(talk) 23:38, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soft Rock?

I'm not questioning they do use a soft rock style, but look at more recent songs that are not soft rock, like What this World Needs. They also have many songs, such as White Dove Fly High, 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, Now My Lifesong Sings, etc. that are not rock, but more traditional style. I think we cut the soft rock segment from the top, due to their varying styles. --Carolinapanthersfan (talk) 19:11, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's right. 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus was a really good interpretation that came out on WOW Hymns, and it's actually an extremely calm song! I suggest writing something like "Their style is mostly Rock, but they also play several (or some) calm songs." Sim(ã)o(n) (talk) 11:33, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Partnerships and endorsements section

Does this belong in the article? It seems a bit promotional, unless I'm misunderstanding it. Tom Harrison ^Talk 11:33, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - it probably doesn't belong. Toa Nidhiki05 12:34, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

new comment

Casting Crowns is a contemporary Christian band that has been around for about 13 years now. A lot of their music is of the Christian Rock genre. However, they do have several songs that are more contemporary and less rock. Casting Crowns also performs concerts at universities and usually draws large crowds of people of all ages. Casting Crowns sings the theme song “Courageous” for the Christian movie, Courageous, that was released in 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpdavis79 (talk • contribs) 18:52, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template

Can someone explain to me what that template requests of the editors? What are these "soaces" it speaks of? I mean "soaces" is not recognized by Merriam-Webster. What and where is this "heading formatting?" "Curly quotes"? What is this? I understand the concept of "copy editing", and I see repeated links, but I don't understand the rest. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:24, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Soaces is a typo for "spaces" and "curly quotes" are the opposite of straight quotes, the latter are used around the words to the left. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:03, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of genre by 67.237.63.56

I'm not a genre warrior, and have no intention of ever being one.

I just thought that 67.237.63.56 was being on the mischievous side when (s)he removed "soft rock" from this article's infobox without giving a reason. (S)he did the same thing with Neil Diamond, The Osmonds and Leonard Cohen, and these edits were reverted too.

But if, in this case, (s)he was actually right – that soft rock is not among Casting Crowns' genres – and hence I was wrong to revert his/her edit, then I accept that.

As I said, I have no intention of ever being a genre warrior. And I would never want to be accused of genre warring, even inadvertently. Bluebird207 (talk) 13:54, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So where is the source that supports the genre? I would normally have reverted the anon with something like, "unexplained removal of sourced genre (see WP:GWAR)", but since it's not sourced, I couldn't do it in good conscience. I'm not calling you a genre warrior, I was simply indicating that adding and removing genres without explanation (at least you gave one) and without sources is seen as unacceptable. I didn't follow the editor any more than I followed you, I simply looked here. For that matter, CCM and Christian Rock are not referenced, but their charting supports that. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:01, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. :) Bluebird207 (talk) 14:08, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Deadths should not be listed in the members section, but may be discussed in the article itself"

@Walter Görlitz: What? Literally every band article with a deceased member does that, and while I suppose I agree with your opinion, I'm just trying to aim for a consistent standard. This runs contrary to it, as far as I'm aware. dannymusiceditor ^oops 15:45, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperbole aside, many band articles do have deaths listed, however, the project is not in favour of it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:13, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please link me to said discussion for further reference? dannymusiceditor ^oops 16:27, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can't seem to find it. I thought it was at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians/Article guidelines, but I don't see it there or in the archives. Nor is it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music. @Sergecross73: @TenPoundHammer: @SNUGGUMS: {{ping|Binksternet} perhaps one of you can recall the discussion. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:50, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to do some digging. I feel like I had to ask a Wikiproject about it in the past, because it was something I had learned second-hand from someone, but couldn't find in any if the MOS or guidelines. I can't recall what the outcome was. It might have just been a general agreement that "dying" wasn't really a "band role" per se. Sergecross73 msg me 11:48, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I personally have no recollection of any discussions regarding this. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:59, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having a hard time finding it in any Wikiproject talk archives too. I wonder if it was just a user talk page somewhere instead. In which case, it probably wasn't much of a consensus of course. I'll try to search more. I know it's been discussed, and I know there wasn't any discussion that lead me to not remove deceased from band member sections. But I do know what Danny means too - it is done pretty frequently too. Sergecross73 msg me 15:05, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It might have been a band page, but I do recall that there was another senior editor who offered the option and I agreed. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:14, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
