thread_title: Operas by year

message: Here are some ideas/previous suggestions for the November composer(s) of the month:
*Early German composers and the development of Singspiele: Johann Adam Hiller (1728-1804), Anton Schweitzer (1735 - 1787), Johann André (1741-1799), Christian Gottlob Neefe (1748-1798), Johann Friedrich Reichardt (1752-1814), Peter Winter (1754-1825) 
*Kurt Weill (1900-1950) and Ernst Krenek (1900-1991)
*Gaspare Spontini (1774-1851) and Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842)
*Johann Strauss II (1825-1899)
*Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868)
*Albert Lortzing (1801-1851)
Any other suggestions as always welcome! -- Kleinzach 03:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Krenek is one that I'd work on; Rossini (and Verdi for that matter) could still use some attention but wouldnt need to be a composer of the year like Gounod or Haydn.Sparafucil 06:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Cherubini was popular and influential during his lifetime (although I suppose not necessarily for his operas) and his article is weaker than he deserves. Strauss and Rossini are certainly popular enough to be improved on eventually without a specific drive being required Lethe 14:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Weill and/or Krenek for me - for no particular reason. Moreschi  Talk 15:44, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: GT (currently away) and Peter Cohen were originally interested in Weill (here) so let's go with Weill and Krenek! Thanks. -- Kleinzach 11:44, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: November Composer(s) of the Month

message: Okay - so I can see why Compositional style of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky might be its own article - it's really long, so should be separated from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.  But my question is - does the new article get the same cats as the old one?  I mean "Compositional style..." isn't a :Category:Russian composer, right?  Or how does that work? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 09:02, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Welcome to our tech guru! Unfortunately Compositional style of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky isn't really in our bailiwick. Maybe Composers' Project? -- Kleinzach 15:09, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hunh.  Good point :)  I'll try over there :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 07:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

There are not so many of them and I'm wondering if we could each deal with a few of them? Thanks in advance. -- Kleinzach 09:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done a couple. We should come back to this issue of unsourced articles periodically. It's good to keep on top of. After all, Wikipedia's main problem is our unreferenced content. Cheers, Moreschi  Talk 13:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I can't find refs for the Hungarian operettas. Any ideas? -- Kleinzach 15:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: On the Soprano talk page I suggested permanently removing the Pop singers list to a new article. In the talk page, I have tl;dred the reasoning behind the proposal. John Holly 19:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Soprano page - Pop section

message: A rather rough-and-ready version of this is now up, in case anyone cares. I've put a to-do list on the talk page, if anyone wants to chip in. At least this time we don't have the palaver over list selection...Cheers, Moreschi  Talk 20:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Ye-es. That does need to be done. There will be quite a lot of repetition, but not all the time. Moreschi  Talk 20:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
