Talk:Marc-Antoine Charpentier

message: The Library of Congress authorities website has a recent citation:
New Grove, 2nd ed. WWW site, Feb. 5, 2002 (Charpentier, Marc-Antoine; b. in or near Paris, 1643; d. Paris, Feb. 24, 1704; the year of Charpentier's birth, long uncertain, has been determined convincingly, if without explicit documentation, by Patricia Ranum (1987)).
Is this sufficient to change the dates? Let me know. FeanorStar7
:By all means change.  I was using the 1980 New Grove (actually, never did finish writing this article).  Thanks! Antandrus 07:52, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Dates established

message: I'm one of the 2 biographers of Charpentier. At first I tried to keep as much of the original Wikipedia article as possible. Gradually it became clear that once I began a chronological presentation of his out-put, with the changes in content that came with each new period, the original had to be tossed out. (For example, it listed his works more or less globally, irrespective of the time slot; and it mingled things for Mlle de Guise with things for the Jesuits, etc.) I hope I haven't hurt someone's feelings. I can guarantee that once typos and style have been honed by the Wiki administrators, this article will be a very reliable condensation of what is known about Charpentier as of late 2008. I don't plan to do anything with his works themselves. (I deal only with his life and why a specific work was written in the first place), so please go ahead and make articles like the "David et Jonathas" one! (Actually, I see I am the person who wrote the 2 sections above! Patricia M. Ranum (talk) 20:03, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The major revisions I have made, late March 2009 

message: It's been quite a while since I added footnotes and citations to this article. I'm the world specialist in Charpentier's life, and though I could add several dozen more notes, I believe that other scholars will agree that what I have added more than suffices.
This discourages me from contributing to Wikipedia! That big, critical banner across the top of the page is no longer appropriate and has not been for months. When someone like me has clearly stated in her own talk page, that the article is now reliably and more-than-adequately footnoted, Wikipedia should at least investigate that assertion and if it's correct (as mine was), remove the really offensive yellow banner!
And yes, I did not log in because I want people to know publicly how disappointed I am in Wikipedia.

    This is an editorial template, and therefore the editor who inserted it here is God. Unlike ordinary text, that anyone can delete at will, an editorial template cannot absolutely be deleted except after an express written authorization by Jim Wales, the sacrifice of three goats and a young virgin maiden, and consensus approval by the Editorial Template Designers Syndicate. After all, editors who are unwilling to contribute to Wikipedia are entitled to have fun with it, too. (August 2009)

thread_title:  That statement to the effect that this article needs footnoting and citations is nonsense!
