Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers/Archive 4

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikipedia Day Awards 

message: Is there a policy or guide line concerning how a composer's works should be listed in an article? For instance on the John Coolidge Adams page the works are listed by form and then by date of composition with the date first. However on the Steve Reich page they are listed only by date but with the date at the end of the entry. If there is no guide line about this could one be made to help standardize things?

A Composer's works


message: I have submitted numerous articles for peer review and never get more than a bot's suggestions.  I am determined to get an actual peer review for this article, so I figured I would post it here.  If anyone wants to contribute, feel free! --Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 07:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Would Tenacious D come under the umbrella of this WikiProject. I know they compose their own stuff but I am not sure if they should be here.

thread_title:  Tenacious D 

message: I could use some help, potentially, here: User_talk:Antandrus#Unwarranted_deletions.  Composer Lera Auerbach's husband has written her article (probably) and is inserting her name into many, many articles, in an aggressively promotional manner.  Any help/suggestions appreciated.  I think she's notable enough for an article on Wikipedia, but should she be in short lists with Bach and Britten?  She's neither in the New Grove nor in the New Grove Dictionary of Women Composers, which is quite exhaustive.  If anyone's watching this, feel free to drop me a line.

thread_title: Conflict of interest:  backup requested

message: It has just occured to me that linking to sheetmusicarchive as an external link is inappropriate since only two downloads per day are allowed, when the alternative IMSLP   is available giving unlimited public domain files. It is much more comprehensive and the content from SMA seems to be entirely available there. I'm not saying we should replace every link to SMA in every composer's article, but I think we should bear it in mind when working on the pages. Any thoughts? M A Mason 20:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, especially as the IMSLP seems to be similar in spirit to WP. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 20:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have already replaced SMA links with IMSLP links on some occasions, when all content of SMA was available on IMSLP, too. For the links, one can use the template . --Leonard Vertighel 22:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
