Hi MuseWikians!

I'm Ade and I'm new around these parts (joined in Nov 2014). I may, eventually, get around to writing something interesting here.

I'm British and live and work in Switzerland. I'm also a guitarist and have played in loads of totally unknown bands over the years, both in the UK and here in Switzerland.

My to do list

• My principle interest is tablature and I intend to work to improve this where it is needed.
• Gig navigation needs some work - we have loads of categories and a tree structure, but it isn't evident when viewing a gig page.
• Flesh out some of the subsidiary content, eg venue pages, etc.
• Seek and destroy (or rather fix) dead links
• Clean up spellings when I find them.

Gigs Reconciliation Jan 2015

Decided to reconcile the Main Gigs page listings with the various categories currently in use, namely Category:Gigs_by_country and Category:Gigs_in_location, to make sure that we have correctly categorised all the gigs. Thanks to the Gigbox template, this categorisation is taken care of automatically and will result in a correct categorisation (unless there is a location or country error in the Gigbox). However, quite a few gig pages do not use the Gigbox, and therefore this automatic categorisation doesn't take place.

Here's what I did:

1. Copied all the 1991 to 2014 gig template contents into a spreadsheet
2. In my spreadsheet, added additional columns for Year, Redlink and Cancelled so that I could filter the data as required.
   1. Year is useful for sorting as some dates are incomplete, eg 1996-10-??, so are treated by Excel as text rather than a date.
   2. Redlink gigs will not appear in any of the gig categories, cos the gig pages don't exist, so I added a flag in the relevant rows in my spreadsheet.
   3. Cancelled gigs do not get categoried either (as per the Gigbox code), so these too needed to be flagged.
3. I decided to ignore 2015 as this list is still being added to and there is still updating going on with these gigs.

Results so far:

1. Total number of Gig template gigs = 1306
   1. 1991 = 2
   2. 1992 = 1
   3. 1993 = 1
   4. 1994 = 6
   5. 1995 = 14
   6. 1996 = 4
   7. 1997 = 33
   8. 1998 = 20 (Redlink = 2)
   9. 1999 = 147 (Redlink =12)
   10. 2000 = 146 (Redlink = 42)
   11. 2001 = 120 (Redlink = 12)
   12. 2002 = 38
   13. 2003 = 53
   14. 2004 = 147 (Redlink = 2) (Cancelled = 4)
   15. 2005 = 23
   16. 2006 = 106 (Cancelled = 2)
   17. 2007 = 111 (Cancelled = 10)
   18. 2008 = 17
   19. 2009 = 56
   20. 2010 = 101 (Cancelled = 4)
   21. 2011 = 18
   22. 2012 = 42 (Cancelled = 3)
   23. 2013 = 96 (Cancelled = 1)
   24. 2014 = 4 (Cancelled = 1)
   25. Total = 1306
2. Total number of Redlink gigs = 70
3. Total number of Cancelled gigs = 25
4. None of the Cancelled gigs are also Redlinks

From this raw data:

1. Exclude Redlinks and Cancelled gigs, ie 70 + 25 = 95 to be excluded
2. Theoretical number of gigs categorised by country and location should be 1306 - 95 = 1211, based on Gig/year boxes on Main Gigs page
