Talk:The Royal Conservatory of Music

message: One should also include more information on the teaching method and style... as well as mention to 'ARCT' level, which goes beyond their grades 1-10, and includes two branches, teaching and performing. The RCM is not just a place/building but also a distinction, of a strong musical background.--Skugg 19:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was moving it back to the established status quo, where it had been for some time.  The prior mover, should have gotten consensus.  At the time of my move, most links were to "Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto)" already.  So, my single act of moving *decreased* the number of re-directs.   Also, at least one (maybe more) of the links to "Royal Conservatory of Music" was in fact referring to " the Royal Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen" (see Sigurd Rascher).  That's a serious error, which is noticed when it's a re-dir, but not when it's a direct link.  You break, *you* fix it.  --rob 12:55, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: About the disambig page, that's a good idea, which I'll do once I get a reliable list of all the placees with the name (if somebody doesn't do first).  But, my move was still an improvement.  Re-dirs show up very clearly in "What links here", and are quite easy to fix.  However, direct links to an entirely unrelated article, are rarely noticed.  --rob 13:00, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

This is followed by six points.  Is it meant to be 5 or 6?

thread_title:  Five key divisions 

message: QUOTING THE ARTICLE: "The concert and recital halls of the College Street site were only partially replaced in the move, while the library, residence and all three pipe organs were lost."
How extraordinarily careless of them!
I think it would be a good idea to elaborate on what happened in this relocation. 
Wanderer57 (talk) 12:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There should be a source for the three lost pipe organs.  If the sources cannot be found, then remove them.  Additionally, I have merged the information from the RCM Examinations article into this article.  Johnny Au (talk) 14:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I found it.  It is this website. Johnny Au (talk) 14:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Three pipe organs! 

message: QUOTING the article: 
"RCM Examinations makes the high standards of the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum available and accessible to students across North America through the RCM Examinations Certificate Program. It is a division of the Royal Conservatory of Music that is dedicated to administering the Certificate Program on the RCM curriculum. In this role it conducts examinations three times each year across Canada through a network of Examination Centres."
I have a few questions about this.
If the "curriculum" is available "across North America", why are the examinations only conducted "across Canada"?
In the sentence starting: "It is a division", to what does "It" refer?
Does "available" mean something significantly different from "accessible", or would one of these words suffice?  Wanderer57 (talk) 04:56, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  questions 

message: I've made some changes to the article to make it more neutral. I've also added some more references (The Encyclopedia of Music in Canada). Can someone let me know how I can have the article reviewed and the warning removed? I'll continue working on some of the suggested changes found in this discussion. M. White Morwennaj (talk) 19:50, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your work. I believe it no longer qualifies for the advert issue tag and have removed it as any editor may upon correcting the issue. It still needs a great deal more references and I think the tone could be more encyclopedic so I still think it qualifies as a Start class article WP:ASSESS. If you are looking for an update on a quality assessment, you can generally ask the WikiProjects who have tagged the article as within their purview. Cheers!

thread_title:  New editor - would like to have article reviewed 

message: The image that was used in the infobox (:File:RoyalConservatoryofMusic.JPG) is now badly out-of-date, given the significant expansion of the RCM building on Bloor Street.  For the time being, I have replaced it with a close-up image of the heritage building (which does not show the entire building, and thus is "timeless" in a sense).  However, we really need to upload some new images of the RCM, from both Bloor Street and Philosopher's Walk, to the RCM category over at the Commons for use in this article.  Any photographers in Toronto with some time? --Skeezix1000 (talk) 14:40, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I suggest a page rename and adding "The" so the page title becomes The Royal Conservatory of Music. This is how RCM has been known throughout its history and there is a "The" in its current emblem. Mjk17 (talk) 18:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Hey there!
We're making some edits and hoping the NPOV dispute can be removed. Any tips on how to expedite this? Does an editor have to read it over and make the call? How does the NPOV Dispute tag get removed from the main article page?
Thanks!

thread_title:  Removing NPOV Dispute 

message: I propose that Canadian Academy of Music be merged into The Royal Conservatory of Music. I think that the content in the Canadian Academy of Music article can easily be explained in the context of The Royal Conservatory of Music especially since the former was merged into the latter in 1924. Comments please. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 14:13, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, but 7+ months later and Canadian Academy of Music has not been significantly expanded and it remains single sourced.  The Canadian Encyclopedia article is itself short.  Right now the history of these former institutions is muddled on Wikipedia, and would benefit from consolidation in this article.  Having separate stubs does not help the reader. Any merger would, of course, be without prejudice to someone who wanted to later create a History of The Royal Conservatory of Music article or significantly expanded Canadian Academy of Music.--Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:24, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Have left a note at WP:CANTALK for further input so we can eventually wrap this up. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:24, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
