I think it's a miracle the whole page didn't go to hell with all those queenhaters out there. :D
(Glad uncyclopedia exists)
Anyway you're right with the decision not making it a public thing.

It is best that the page is not open for modification by anyone and I am glad since I know it is in very good hands.
Keep it up, guys (and gal).

Have no idea either :)
Though I indeed dont update it anymore, its still hard for me to let it go. Though I probably have to do it one day..

Greg just go for it you can do it on your own. It is a great idea one we will support and I am sure that others out there that are not locked in so to speak will contribute to it once it is up and running. Once it is up I will pass on the url to a couple of people I know that have data bases that may be of use - if you let them auto submit the information like you can on the system you are basing yours on they will just do it without you or anyone else knowing about.
Not everyone with a massive database of information on Queen are in here or in Queen Online so I am sure those people will contribute to it once it is running. Good luck and it is a great venture for your end to take on. I am sure we will all benefit from it and also Queen.

Isis, with all respect to you and the work you do for the Aussie fans - if there should be a website that would use and publish info from various, it should be done by a programmer. Website isn't just about HTML and JS, it's about keeping the content up-to-date with PHP/ASP scripts, MySQL/MSSQL/Postgres databases, interface with web services (XML/SOAP) and many other things. And I'm not even talking about (X)HTML validity, proper CSS, SEO etc. Aussiequeens.com is a very amateur-looking fan site, it will take years before it becomes a useful source of info.
Btw. I didn't even know you used the list of concerts from my site :-) And this is what I talk about - how do you update the list? If I make a change in one venue, when is it corrected on your site? With a cron + ws interface it would be automatic and could happen immediately. Manually it will take you probably weeks or months (IF you even notice the change).
The chance that we (fans) create a huge Queen portal that would use info from various websites is pretty close to zero. And the chance that the portal could belong to Queen Productions IS zero.

I disagree. It is possible, if people are willing to work together. I already have received more help that I thought I would.

I still use your site, btw, Ron. I know the price guide is out of date and is missing items, but it does help me when I am debating whether or not to buy something off of ebay. ;-)

Yes, of course there are plenty of kind fans and collectors who are willing to submit info and/or photos to Queen websites. But I'm talking about cooperation between the already existing Queen websites. If nothing else, then the different technical level makes it almost impossible (and I'm not talking about you or me because actually I think we would be able to cooperate if we needed to).

Obviously it would be very hard from a technical stand point.
I wish I could develop a site in Coldfusion, but unless you can manage your own install it becomes a pain to deal with a third party host.

I think it's funny how the first photo of the cassette single of 'The Show Must Go On' w/Bohemian Rhapsody is listed 'The Show Must Go On w/Keep Yourself Alive in the UK cassettes section.

Just a small error. Nothing amazingly funny :-)
I will blame it all on Lester. He's not here to defend himself.

Not as funny as Eddie Van Halen's entry:
Born to Dutch immigrant parents, formed a band in the mid 70s with his brother and became known as an innovative guitarist.
That's it? What a waste of time. You should link it with Wikipedia's entry, at least. I'm afraid to see what Steve Howe's says:
A classical guitarist who gained fame with an English prog rock band?
EDIT
Well I was close:
Steve Howe played "wandering minstrel" Spanish guitar on the track Innuendo.
Wow, you guys can read liner notes!!! Congrats!
Queenpedia is great for pictures and facts about albums and sleeves, but if you guys are serious about this, maybe you need some research assistance. Or don't bother to write anything about non-queen personel. That was pathetically lazy.
