message: Clementi lived in England from the age of 14, and, I believe, was a UK subject. All of his compositional work was done in England. Should he not be categorised as an English composer?<-----unsigned comment
:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies) states:
The opening paragraph should have:
*Name(s) and title(s), if any (see, for instance, also Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)); 
*Dates of birth and death, if known (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Dates of birth and death); 
*Context (location, nationality, or ethnicity); 
**In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national (according to each nationality law of the countries), or was a citizen when the person became notable. 
**Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability. 
*What the person did; 
*Why the person is significant. 
So, the previous poster is correct.  Clementi should be listed as English. His Italian birth, of course, should be mentioned, but in the appropriate section. I am making the change.THD3 (talk) 19:27, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Cviviani, please refer to the article guidelines copied above. They state that the nationality of a subject (not enthicity) should appear in the article lead. This is the way is appears in every composer article, including Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and Mozart. Listing Clementi as an English composer in the lead is not questionable, and once the reader starts on the next section, it clearly states that Clementi was born in Italy.  But he did not become notable until after he'd moved to England.THD3 (talk) 19:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Charlie the "Italian-born" verbiage then noting his English residency works for me. I am hopeful this will help us avoid the kind of edit war that appeared on Chopin's article.THD3 (talk) 14:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: He sounds a bit Italian to me. And it seems he was born in Rome. But doesn't Wikipedia take "nationality" of a person from the country where they became notable? Martinevans123 (talk) 23:10, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you regarding the possibility of adding an external link to the Muzio Clementi Society website (www.clementisociety.com) from the article on Muzio Clementi in Wikipedia.
In recent times, there has been a growing interest in the work of Clementi as composer, pianist, music publisher, and instrument maker. The Muzio Clementi Society was precisely created to promote all these aspects of Clementi's career. It is a non-profit society, with sole aim to promote the image of Clementi as an outstanding musical figure of the late eighteenth - early nineteenth centuries. The website of the Muzio Clementi Society provides information on, and link-access to scholarly publications on Clementi that are available to the general public. Also of interest in the site are: an illustrated page on instruments made by Clementi & Co., a sample of mp3s of Clementi's music, and information on Clementi's work 'Selection of Practical Harmony', currently out of print.
Yours sincerely,
SylvesterYSylvesterY 17:06, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The article gives Clementi's birthday as January 24. I can find no citation to confirm this, although the link given to the Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani  (translation here) gives Clementi's birthday as January 23. ScissorsMacGillicutty (talk)
