 * Good resource, but I see that they list concerts that were cancelled. So we should consult other sources, too, to make sure we don't list such concerts.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 09:09, 22 June 2015 (PDT)
 * Sure. Another option is to list,  then italicize and/or strike out, canceled tour dates. Canceled dates are often displayed at Wikipedia with sources verifying the cancelation. -Jason (talk) 09:21, 22 June 2015 (PDT)

 * The list of 2005 dates is complete, at least according to the list provided by RufusWainwright.com. I wonder if we should fork the contents over to 2005 Tour or 2005 Tour Dates (which may require us to move Tour to Tour Dates for consistency) or Tour (2005), or similar? -Jason (talk) 11:44, 17 June 2015 (PDT)
 * Also, I am now going through the list of 2005 tour dates and creating pages for cities. I figured city pages can display when Rufus performed there. Some pages may only have one entry, but others like London will have many tour dates. So far, I am done with 1/2 of the 2005 dates (up to York on 5/16). -Jason (talk) 13:34, 17 June 2015 (PDT)

Update: City pages have been created for all 2005 entries! I would consider the 2005 Tour section done, though ideally it would contain inline citations to verify that the concerts took place. -Jason (talk) 09:18, 23 June 2015 (PDT)

Tours
(See August 23, 2005 for context.) Instead of writing out notes repeatedly for tour legs, we might just add symbols such as asterisks to the end of date entries and include a note at the bottom of the section. This is done at Wikipedia often. May also be helpful for solo tour dates that are associated with a specific named tour. -Jason (talk) 13:41, 17 June 2015 (PDT)

naming of pages about concerts
I see we have discrepancies here. See April 25, 2012: Konzertsaal der Udk and Seattle (December 2014) for example. So we should decide what is better. The former is more precise and works better when there is more than one concert in the same month at the same town. Maybe we should use the name of the town then instead of the name of the venue, so it would be April 25, 2012: Berlin and December 6, 2014: Seattle. What do you think?--Sylvia Anna (talk) 08:07, 21 June 2015 (PDT)
 * I think, ideally, we would just display City (Year). If he performs in a city more than once within a year, then City (Month Year). If he performs within the same city more than once in a month, then we will have to resort to displaying full dates. But, I don't feel too strongly about the naming convention or inconsistencies, so if you have a preference I am fine with that, too. At this point, I am just glad to see any contributions to the wiki. :) -Jason (talk) 10:27, 21 June 2015 (PDT)
 * Hmm, if we choose "City (Year)" and then he plays in the same town that year again we have to move the article to "City (Month Year)". And we already have examples where he played the same town more than once a month. So there (if we ever create an article about those concerts) we have to go for the whole date anyway. So I think it would be more consistent and straightforward to go for this from the beginning. I will move the articles accordingly.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 11:07, 21 June 2015 (PDT)
 * Sounds great! Thank you. -Jason (talk) 20:16, 21 June 2015 (PDT)
