If anyone has any information on the Mr. Lady compilation albums released in the early 2000s, please let me know. Proto:: ► 13:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Great work on this page. I've removed references to Queercore since, by all criteria established on that page, The Butchies and Mr. Lady Records aren't queercore but rather, as the Mr Lady Records page asserts, a "lesbian feminist" record label. As written about in the article about the word ' queer', the usage of the word isn't synonymous with 'gay/lesbian' but often, as is the case with queercore, at odds with the 'gay/lesbian' identity. Particularly in light of The Butchies/Mr. Lady stance on the Michigan Women's Music Festival, which helped alienate them further from the queercore community, I think the concensus would be that the label 'queercore' doesn't apply here.

Here's a link: [1] . There are three pages of material, not all related to The Butchies. There was other material, although most of it was on message boards, which wouldn't really be appropriate for Wikipedia, would it? The names of the Mr. Lady compilation albums are "Women's Music Sampler" and "Calling All Kings and Queens", by the way. Hope this helps. Intheshadows 18:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
When I saw this article, I thought the name sounded familiar and eventually remembered reading an AfD about it. Amazing to think that the stub nominated for deletion on Jan 10 is now a pretty polished article. It reads well and seems to cover the topic thoroughly, making full use of the available sources. In my view the level of detail seems right to make the article interesting without risk of descending into trivia. Breakdown on the assessment criteria:
I have removed a bit of extra punctuation around the quotations- full stops are not needed inside and outside. I also fixed a typo on a date. However, these are very minor niggles (really just to prove I actually read the article :-) ). I'd have liked have read more about why the label ultimately went defunct but the sources seem to say little about this- I guess given the industry its not surprising.
I haven't given a pass on "no OR". This is because two artists listed as formerly on Mr. Lady neither have articles nor are sourced ( The Haggard and Tami Hart). Similarly, the articles about The Sissies and Electrelane make no mention of Mr. Lady Records. I don't think that's serious enough to fail GA overall but given that the requirement is rather stringently "no elements of OR", I don't feel its quite been met.
All in all, I see this one as a clear pass. WjB scribe 04:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I have expanded the article a little more. I have also submitted it for peer review, please feel free to contribute. Proto ► 18:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Just a small point, but one which was brought up at an FAC review which I was involved in– with regards to quotations in italics: see WP:MOS#Quotations in italics. In a nutshell, it says quotations should only be in italics if the source is in italics. Alternatively, if you want them in italics, you should add [emphasis added] (which looks ugly to be honest!). Otherwise, it says not to use italics for the only reason that it is a quotation. I'm quite happy to make the changes, just let me know which you prefer. I don't know whether your intentions are to move this up a notch to FA, but that's what they'll pick up on. :) Bubba hotep 20:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, when I said "you", I meant users in general. Gain consensus and all that. :) Bubba hotep 20:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC) But when I said "your [intentions]", I was referring to you. Confused? I was. Bubba hotep 20:42, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Not any more, I've changed it. And when I say "I", I mean... ah, forget it! :P Bubba hotep 20:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I will do the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project. H1nkles ( talk) 00:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
I have a few concerns with this article:
There are significant, but easily correctable issues with this article. It does not meet the GA Criteria though and so I will put it on hold for one week pending fixes. H1nkles ( talk) 00:18, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Does the fact that the label went defunct really belong in the section about the Michigan controversy? The cited source has nothing to do with the controversy, and including it there implicitly states that the ending of the label somehow stemmed from the controversy. hbent ( talk) 10:26, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
