Talk:St. Michael's Choir School

message: "These concerts were originally held at Roy Thomson Hall, but have been held at Massey Hall since the 70s"
I don't know for certain where the concerts were "originally" held but I would suspect it was at Massey Hall.  At least that's where we performed when I was a member in the late 60's.  Roy Thomson Hall didn't even exist until sometime in the 80's.

replies: text: Not sure where this original information may have come from, Cavan. Christmas Concerts were originally held at Columbus Hall on Sherbourne Street. The school will celebrate 50 years at Massey Hall in, I believe, 2016 which would mean the boys began performing there in 1966. I'm working on an update for this section that will be more accurate. Thanks for your work on this.Astra Inclinant (talk) 20:40, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I removed
   On October, 15 2007 there will be a concert with Barenaked Ladies, Matt Dusk, and others
because there was no citation. Also, I removed
   The Elementary and Junior choirs recently won two 1st place finishes at the Kiwanis Music Festival.
because I'm sure there's a history of them winning the Festival, not just recently. Stearnsbrian 05:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: I've removed the COI tag, which is over the top considering User:Smcs.archives has only made one very minor edit, has fully disclosed her conflict of interest and has been given constructive advice at the Teahouse. If they start making major problematic edits then, by all means, replace the tag. They have been advised to make a request for any future edits to the article, here, on the Talk page. Sionk (talk) 19:44, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's fair enough. Obviously, I didn't place the COI tag because of a couple of edits by one person, but because there seemed to be several of them. If one is spurious, I don't think the tag is justified. I'll tag this page instead for the declared COI of /Smcs.archives. By the way, compliments to both  and  for all the work they've done here. Unfortunately there are still other problems that need dealing with. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:29, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now made a couple of minor edits, including adding source materials and rewording a sentence so that it wasn't in direct conflict with another statement. I'm also about to correct the spelling of a name, if that's okay, but as I prepare to make a broader correction of materials, I will post it here with the request edit tag. Should I post information in paragraphs, or in larger sections? How do I request creation of new sections?Astra Inclinant (talk) 20:35, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: My suggestion would be to simply make the edits you think are required and are in accordance with the relevant policies and guidelines you've reviewed. If you are worried that it might be a controversial edit, you could then undo your edit and post a wp:diff to the original edit for consideration. –xenotalk 20:42, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

text: The message at the top of this page is much better. Obviously we want to encourage as many people as possible to be open about their close connections to the subject at hand. Clean-up templates on the main article should be used to deal with very major problems IMO, not instances where the editor is making only small, well-intentioned amendments and being completely open about their actions.

thread_title:  COI tag 

message: ::The school is part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, yet students are required to pay additional tuition for the additional musical training the school provides.
Can I please change this to:
::The school is part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board. Students pay an additional tuition fee which covers the cost of the music programme. 
My concern is that the above edit was made by a user who was impersonating the school's principal (barry.white.smcs), and the tone is one of critique rather than information. As this is a larger edit, or at least more significant edit, I would like to have the approval of editors. Astra Inclinant (talk) 21:32, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems non-contentious to me, but thanks for raising it here. The addition of the word "yet" seems to be making a sideways comment about the school. I see someone's already actioned the request. Sionk (talk) 21:40, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks User:Theroadislong for carrying out the edit. The suggesting author should be mentioned in the accompanying edit summary, for attribution purposes. –xenotalk 22:00, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks I'll remember that next time. Theroadislong (talk) 22:04, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Request to add information 

message: This article now has 23 references over 903 words, or about 1 citation to every 3.5 lines. Can we now remove the verification tag? It seems like it's pretty well verified. If there are sections that require additional citations, I would appreciate some guidance on what they are so that I can make the corrections that are necessary. Astra Inclinant (talk) 14:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed tag. Thanks for your efforts! --NeilN talk to me 15:31, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: @NeilN thanks for checking. The last line that needs a citation is, I think, cited in an article that is behind a paywall. Would it be better to remove this line? I'm not sure it really adds anything to the factual makeup of the final section.Astra Inclinant (talk) 15:36, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Cites behind a paywall are perfectly acceptable but I have no objection to removing the line. --NeilN talk to me 16:00, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
