'''Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue''' is a live stage show based on the [[Beetlejuice|film of the same name]] and [[Universal Monsters|Universal's Classic Monsters]]. It is located at [[Universal Studios Florida]], and, formerly, at [[Universal Studios Hollywood]]. The venue at the Hollywood park was removed in 2002, and replaced by ''Spider-Man Rocks''. |

Oi, that dark-text-on-green-bachground is awfully hard on the eyes. — '''[[User:pd_THOR|<span style="color:#CC0000;">pd_THOR</span>]]''' <sup>|''' [[User_talk:pd_THOR|=/\=]]'''</sup> | 02:10, 6 October 2008 (UTC) |

The attraction opened at both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood in 1992. The Florida venue replaced ''An American Tail Theatre'' which was opened with the park on June 7, 1990 and removed in 1992. The Hollywood venue replaced ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'', which opened in the Castle Theater in 1983, and was removed in 1992. |
|||
The venue at Universal Studios Florida was refurbished in 1996, to include the addition of a canopy to block the sun. In 2002, the show itself was changed to add more modern songs and costumes, and was given the removal of [[Erik (The Phantom of the Opera)|The Phantom of the Opera (1925 film)|The Phantom of the Opera]], who was replaced by Pip and Pop, Beetlejuice's Translyvania cheerleaders. The show was once again changed slightly in 2006, this time with a new opening, and with slightly more adult themes. |

==Summary== |
||
The show begins once evreyone is seated. [[Kharis|The Mummy]] opens up his coffin on the stage to tell the guests their safety precautions. He closes the lid, and then fireworks burst from the top of it and [[Beetlejuice]] merges from it. He goes on to mingle with guests and tell them what he has in store for them, including [[Paris Hilton]] live on stage, to which [[Igor (fictional character)|Igor]] is heard from backstage telling him that she is "unavailable". Beetlejuice looks for a park guest to take her place, and the Universal Monsters, [[Count Dracula|Dracula]], [[Frankenstein's monster|Frankenstein's Monster]], [[The Wolf Man (1941 film)|Wolfman]] and [[Bride of Frankenstein]], then appear out of doors and corridors from the stage, and Beetlejuice directs guests to say his name three times, and the Universal Monsters are transformed into rock stars. After the first musical segment, Beetlejuice introduces Trenslyvania's resident Ghoul Girl Cheerleaders, Pip and Pop. The show continues through various other songs and dances with each monster singing their own song. At the end of the show, Beetlejuice has park guets cheer for all of the monsters, especially himself. |

I notice there is currently a list of nominations for next month. But can I suggest we either change the procedure or at least make sure the final five nominations form a cross-section over the different GA topics, and that all the nominations don't end up being US or English-centric.

:No, I think it's fine. I plan to have everyone vote on it at the nomination page, but I haven't gotten around to doing it myself. As for articles around the world, that has to be my fault. I put in four USA related. I remembered the mix after four, so I added the Tower of London. I'll be adding some more noms. --[[User:LAAFan|<font color="orange" face="Times New Roman">LAA</font>]][[User talk:LAAFan|<font color="black" face="Times New Roman">Fan</font>]]''<sup>[[User:LAAFan/Guestbook|sign]]</sup> <sub>[[Wikipedia:Editor review/LAAFan 2|review]]''</sub> 01:09, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |

*2. ''You'e so Fine'' - Pip and Pop |
|||
::My concern is not to have a list of five which includes all articles from sport or all from music, or all five dominated by a couple of sections. Most GAs are from either music, television and sport, and I don't think the list of five (while it is likely to contain a few from these sections) to be too dominated by those three "popular culture" sections. |
|||
*3. ''I Will Survive'' - Bride of Frankenstein |
|||
::I suppose the final choices, will depend on what the goals of the collaboration are? Is this to simply promote any articles to GA, to promote vital articles, to promote poorly-maintained articles, etc? [[User:Peanut4|Peanut4]] ([[User talk:Peanut4|talk]]) 01:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |

This has the potential to be a really, really good process at getting some broader articles up to GA. For newbies, big subjects like [[the Eagles]] may be a bit hefty. A band with a shorter history, with maybe 3-4 albums and 5 years max may be better, I don't know. Articles with lots of easily accessible material would be good - can't think of what this may be as yet. Am sort of free-thought writing at the moment.

::Also, you're right about the difference in difficulty of making something like the eagles a GA and a smaller subject. If we really work together, we could choose a small subject and turn it into a GA in one day. Say, the latest episode of Lost or Madonna's latest single or whatever. Again, I think we need to build our confidence.

:::::A film would be of medium difficulty, but easy to research. I'm not a fan of rap, but I created [[Why Me?

It's special because the video features the family of murder victims.

I was going to say ":::::::I don't think a Simpsons episode is the best way to start.

I'd like to propose that we intentionally select articles that are more encyclopedic than they are popular: Historic people and places, academicians, broad topics (like [[Firefighting]]) that have suffered from too many enthusiastic newbies. Obviously, there has to be a balance between things that are "fun" and things that are "meaty" but I'd like to see us have an articulated goal to shoot for a better proportion of the latter than is currently represented at GAN. [[User:Jclemens|Jclemens]] ([[User talk:Jclemens|talk]]) 04:35, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:I agree with that, other than I'd like to pick an easy one to start with. Any ideas on something that is generally considered cyclopedic yet easy? Firefighting would require around 100 refs to be a GA, I'd guess. Let's pick something that's around 30 refs. I just worry about us getting bogged down to start with. - [[User:Peregrine Fisher|Peregrine Fisher]] ([[User talk:Peregrine Fisher|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Peregrine_Fisher|contribs]]) 04:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |

:::I was bold and removed Tower of London. User:RyanCross started working on [[Jackie Robinson]]. As he was the only user actually improving an article, and he chose Jackie Robinson, I figure that's the one to go with. I joined in and added about 7 references and removed a trivia section.

(redent)I'm not sure how we should be selecting these. RyanCross started on Jackie Robinson but it looks like he's a baseball editor. I've checked on a number of the volunteers GAs, and they're usually in one specific category. TV Shows, storms, songs, etc. Should we have an article of each type? It's easy to get people to sign up, but it's hard to get them to work on articles outside of their interests. - [[User:Peregrine Fisher|Peregrine Fisher]] ([[User talk:Peregrine Fisher|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Peregrine_Fisher|contribs]]) 16:21, 9 October 2008 (UTC) |

Since we have a variety of editors here, why don't we do a variety of types of articles. Doing just one hasn't really quickened out pace. Why don't we create sections for Sports, Music, TV/Film, History, Storms/Roads, maybe a few more.

:I would have to '''oppose''' that idea unless we get more users (about 45) who are dedicated to it. So far, the most dedicated are only you, I, and RyanCross. If we can get more, I would support. But, if we lack dedicated users, we'll have to set up something like the FA Team, where we just copyedit, instead of actually renovating articles.--[[User:LAAFan|<font color="orange" face="Times New Roman">LAA</font>]][[User talk:LAAFan|<font color="black" face="Times New Roman">Fan</font>]]''<sup>[[User:LAAFan/Guestbook|sign]]</sup> <sub>[[Wikipedia:Editor review/LAAFan 2|review]]''</sub> 00:59, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |

:And I will have to '''endorse''' it. I'm not going to do a single thing on Jackie Robinson, ever. It's either a sports article or an history article, depending on how you look at it, and I don't do either. It's a great subject to have as a good article and I encourage those who know and care about it to go kick butt and make it the best Jackie Robinson article Wikipedia could ever hope for. But I [[WP:Contributing to Wikipedia#Start with what you know|stick to what I know and care about]], and just being a part of a Wikiproject won't change that. I've expanded the areas I've helped with greatly since I started in Wikipedia, but there's no way every editor can meaningfully contribute to every topic.

:::Sounds good. I think to start, anyone who's following this discussion and is about to work on making an article GA should create a category for it on the page and put the article under it. If we get too many or too few, we can discuss it here.

::::That's a good idea. I haven't joined the project since I have my own concerns, and there was nothing that grabbed my interest (I doubt I'll ever work on a sports article, or a road, cyclone, music, for example). But work groups in various areas might prove successful. Or a noticeboard of current activity, inviting others to join. As Peregrine Fisher said above, if there is a lead editor, who is personally motivated, then it is more likely to happen. If there's only a few people saying "that's kinda a good idea", then it's not going to happen. Likewise, if potential members (like me) or early signees watch the topics and go away thinking "that project's no good because they never do anything interesting", then they'll not come back. Run a topic based noticeboard, with rolling work, then people will keep dropping in to see what's going on. You could provide the main headings offered at [[WP:GAN]], or similar, and have no more than one on the go from each. When that's done, someone else can offer another. If you want five groups, then how about: popular culture (music, TV, sport, film etc); history; literature, arts & architecture; science & maths; social sciences (geography, politics and so forth). You'll soon see what works by who signs up for each group. [[User:Gwinva|Gwinva]] ([[User talk:Gwinva|talk]]) 07:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |

Hm, I see why this seems like a good idea, but if we have too many going simultaneously then I think interest will wane. Best that it's only a couple at a time, I think. Then again I can pretty much write about whatever if I try hard enough.

:I see it like this: At the very least, it will be a bulletin board of "other editors wanted to help me get this article to GA" which itself is collaboration-encouraging. I agree that focused output can be achieved by limiting current work to one at a time, but I see this as an ideal candidate for parallelism: I'd rather see plenty of articles getting attention, because GA is just a milestone, progress and improvement will be happening across a broader spectrum of articles, even if we don't get a faster throughput.

Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue is a live stage show based on the film of the same name and Universal's Classic Monsters. It is located at Universal Studios Florida, and, formerly, at Universal Studios Hollywood. The venue at the Hollywood park was removed in 2002, and replaced by Spider-Man Rocks.
History
The attraction opened at both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood in 1992. The Florida venue replaced An American Tail Theatre which was opened with the park on June 7, 1990 and removed in 1992. The Hollywood venue replaced Conan the Barbarian, which opened in the Castle Theater in 1983, and was removed in 1992.
The venue at Universal Studios Florida was refurbished in 1996, to include the addition of a canopy to block the sun. In 2002, the show itself was changed to add more modern songs and costumes, and was given the removal of The Phantom of the Opera (1925 film)|The Phantom of the Opera, who was replaced by Pip and Pop, Beetlejuice's Translyvania cheerleaders. The show was once again changed slightly in 2006, this time with a new opening, and with slightly more adult themes.
The show in Orlando remains operating today, while the show in Hollywood was removed in 2002, and replaced by Spider-Man Rocks.
Summary
The show begins once evreyone is seated. The Mummy opens up his coffin on the stage to tell the guests their safety precautions. He closes the lid, and then fireworks burst from the top of it and Beetlejuice merges from it. He goes on to mingle with guests and tell them what he has in store for them, including Paris Hilton live on stage, to which Igor is heard from backstage telling him that she is "unavailable". Beetlejuice looks for a park guest to take her place, and the Universal Monsters, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Wolfman and Bride of Frankenstein, then appear out of doors and corridors from the stage, and Beetlejuice directs guests to say his name three times, and the Universal Monsters are transformed into rock stars. After the first musical segment, Beetlejuice introduces Trenslyvania's resident Ghoul Girl Cheerleaders, Pip and Pop. The show continues through various other songs and dances with each monster singing their own song. At the end of the show, Beetlejuice has park guets cheer for all of the monsters, especially himself.
