Talk:Columbus Symphony Orchestra

message: In time this entire section can probably be deleted leaving the timeline entry to summarize the events. Meanwhile, the history section can certainly stand to be improved and expanded.  Markhh (talk) 04:26, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: 2008 financial crisis section

message: I was contacted by someone who said that they work in Columbus Symphony Orchestra's administrative offices in the Marketing Department.
They said that they are currently changing the name of the symphony to "Columbus Symphony" and dropping the "Orchestra." 
I responded by saying that we need verification of this - in fact, I suggested that they get their webmaster to put a note on their web page to mention this.
I have yet to hear from them again, but until we find some kind of verification of this, we can't change the name.
This is just to keep people in the loop, as it were!

replies: text: Sorry I didn't respond here sooner. I think this change is mistaken and recommend returning to Columbus Symphony Orchestra. The reason is simple: That is the orchestra's name. While the organization may use the less formal "Columbus Symphony" in its promotional materials, the full name remains unchanged. The full name is still used in sections of the lead page of the orchestra's website, as is the abbreviation "CSO". Until/unless the CSO officially changes its name, I Strongly support returning to "Columbus Symphony Orchestra". Best wishes  Markhh (talk) 04:25, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the response. I actually heard from two different people from the CS - one in September when I left my original note, and one a couple of days ago when I moved the page and left the second note. When I checked the website on the first occasion, all the references were to the CSO, not the CS. When I checked as on the 26th, all of the references are to the CS, with just a couple to the CSO (including the copyright notice). That is why I altered the lead section to call it Columbus Symphony and mention that the formal name for the orchestra is CSO. If someone searches for the CSO, they will be redirected to the article anyway, but the guidelines for naming articles say (see WP:Naming) Articles are normally titled using the most common English-language name of the person or thing that is the subject of the article.. As the CSO's preferred name for themselves is the CS, I feel that this should be the primary name for the article, with the CSO being a redirect to it. Future searchers will probably lookup CS rather than CSO, as that is what they will see in all publicity, throughout the CS's website, etc. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 11:25, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your explanation. The Columbus Symphony can certainly call itself whatever it wants, but an official statement to that fact would be helpful. In any case, the new name won't hinder anyone from finding the article, as you say. A note in the article explaining the name change would be desirable but this would require some cite-able source which doesn't seem to exist, at least not yet.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Proposal to change info box image to the following: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Columbus_Symphony_Orchestra_Popcorn_Pops_concert_at_Columbus_Commons.jpg/1200px-Columbus_Symphony_Orchestra_Popcorn_Pops_concert_at_Columbus_Commons.jpg?20231020015628
Rationale: The new photo is more representative of one of the CSO's typical venues (Columbus Commons for summertime pops concerts) as opposed to a random performance in a park tent. 204.156.192.146 (talk) 20:13, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
