message: Some artists are listed by last name (Robert Johnson under "J"), while others are listed by first name (Robert Johnson under "R"). Difficult to find people that way. I propose we add a text asking all submitters to use the same rule. Now, which way is better? Last name is more encyclopaedia-like, First name more Wikipedia-like (artist categories are sorted by first name). If nobody cares, I will add such a text.
:Hi. I started sorting, according to FIRST name. However, after I had done several sections, I noticed there's a blurb about how new entries should be entered alphabetically according to LAST name. Should I undo all this? I'd like to continue sorting, since many of the categories aren't in order going by either convention. It's more difficult to sort my way by last name, I just plug the entries into a spreadsheet and sort them. Since all the listings are "first name first" and not "last name first" this shortcut won't be of any use. What is the sorting rule?? If there's any choice in the matter, I vote to sort by FIRST name. It is the most convenient to maintain and the easiest to read. Several sections look as if they are already following the first name sorting convention, while other sections look like they are going by last name.

message: Would anyone mind a seperate composers heading?  This would help greatly with the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Composers This includes any composers under the current broad :Category:Composers, so the new heading could be Composers/Songwriters for clarity.  I'm not suggesting going through and moving all the current names, but just seperating the categories and new additions would go under the new composer category?  A note under the new and current category to say that it is new and that new additions should be made here would probably be necessary.  The current heading is pretty broad as is and this might help reduce the number as well.  Please advise. :) --Sketchee 14:09, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)

message: Ideally the performers section should be split up in to genre categories, in my view. I've started with Jazz (and the Orchestras category), where I possess some competence. The prominence of some of the critics and performers without articles suggests the validity of my action. Some might feel that the critics are best placed in the writers section on the culture and arts requests page, though that section is also, perhaps, too generalised, if unwritten articles are to find an author.

message: I took out Access Virus, Roland Sound Canvas and Parker guitars from the instrument list.
These are specific makes of instrument, and having an article on them would be very close to advertising I think. Once you go down that route it's endless: Steinway pianos, Boosey and Hawkes clarinets, Conn trumpets, etc etc. Unsigned, by User:Stephen Burnett 08:14 UTC, 20 June 2005
:We have articles on a lot of companies and manufacturers of things, and I see no reason why an encyclopedia shouldn't. Steinway and C.G. Conn, among your examples, already have articles. EldKatt (Talk) 15:17, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's true, but it's an instrument list and not a manufacturer's list. There are probably hundreds of companies who make pianos, hundreds more making guitars, trumpets, etc etc, and mostly they are turning out instruments which are generic copies of well-established prototypes. If the manufacturer is noteworthy there's no reason not to have a page on them, but I'm not convinced that their instruments need an article too. This is specially the case with companies like Yamaha or B&H, since there's hardly an instrument they don't make; would we have a page on "Yamaha flute"? Manufacturers who have made notable contributions to the development of the instrument will be noted on the generic instrument page, as Steinway is in Piano, and Robert Moog is in Synthesizer. --Stephen Burnett 19:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, I think it will be a good idea to open a section where requests for "learning music/instruments" can me listed.

replies: text: This sort of thing probably belongs in Wikibooks, not here. (Incidentally, I also have my personal doubts as to whether a good textbook for the study of any musical instrument, with consistent and reliable pedagogy, can be produced in a wiki medium. But that's another story.) EldKatt (Talk) 15:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your input, EldKatt, I agree (on both counts). But then, I thought if schools could be listed under Music education, why not students/aspirants? Originally, it was a simple matter of creating such a category to me (be it for a babel such as, "This user would like to be able to speak more languages"). But I thought it useful to get a few opinion. What do you think? --Regards. Miljoshi | <FONT style="color:#008000">talk</FONT> 13:28, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Sorry, I don't really know a lot about Wikipedia, but if an article is on this page as requested, does that mean it's been judged as being of merit? I see a few independent artists on here that I assumed would just get VfD'd immediately on WP:MUSIC if I tried to create articles, but I'm wondering if their presence on this page means it would be worth my time to go ahead and make the entry. 74.132.201.208 08:46, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't necessarily mean the article's of merit.   It just means that somebody wants to see an article about the topic.  I say go ahead and make the entry; there are some independent artists that have Wikipedia entries (for example, Bright Eyes).  As long as the artist has a decent body of work (that is, more than one album), it probably won't get deleted.RedRollerskate 13:10, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
