Where are all the DCA people?!
[edit]DCI has its own page, so DCA should too. Where are the DCA fans? Please contribute!

- I've been editing some of the pages, trying at least to improve them. On this page I removed a few corps because they are part of MCA or not a field corps, and even a corps which competes in DCJ.

Just a quick note, The Music City Legends are in Anioch,Tennessee not Nashville. It's very close to Nashville, but not really in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.129.128.50 (talk) 00:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Bands
[edit]I've been through this list deleting those articles that were copied from websites or were clearly promotional. Several of the survivors do not provide independent verifiable sources that they meets the notability guidelines, having only the band's own page as a reference, but I've left these for now to give a chance to reference properly.
An article must be neutral and encyclopaedic in tone, and unreferenced claims of excellence or sentences beginning with "we" are clearly promotional. You cannot use copyright material. If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article's talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at the talk page with a link to where we can find that note.
- If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article talk page.
- Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at the article talk page with a link to the web page details.
- Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at the article talk page saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action. Jimfbleak (talk) 06:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Champions Table
[edit]There's already an article about the DCA champions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCA_Open_Class_World_Champions.
I don't think the table is really necessary, but if it is, I think it should just include the champion from each season, rather than the runner-up, the scores of both, and the locale. It's too much trouble to maintain this information in two places.
