message: I have changed the layout and format - Jay (talk) 15:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the layout, but the featured picture looks a leetle kooky (jutting out of the border). I'm also not a big fan of the colors. Perhaps black and gray would look nicer? With some fancy transparency? —La Pianista (T•C•S•R) 22:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe what is more important now is the content. The portal has been "abandoned" for quite sometime. About the color, it is up to majority's idea. I changed it because the former colors are too dull. I am in a process of changing contents and create archived pages like what I do for :Portal:Opera (the contents are updated every month). I will post suggestion contents in Classical Music talk page, feel free to suggest for contents. I wil update :Portal:Opera first. If we have volunteer to manage this portal, it is even better, so I can concentrate to :Portal:Opera only.  - Jay (talk) 02:44, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I will be more than willing to volunteer (I'm hungry for a serious task); but first, what exactly needs to be worked on, in your opinion, before I accept? —La Pianista (T•C•S•R) 03:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Great, read at CM talkpage (bottom page). I have list down some of the tasks to do every month and the most important is, this portal content must not clash with Opera portal contents - Jay (talk) 03:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why... 

message: Please help me stop an apparently British editor from violating WP:ENGVAR by censoring well-sourced information about US usage. Ironically he even feels authorised to remove Oxford online dictionaries' information that he feels is wrong. --Espoo (talk) 21:46, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, on his user page, he claims to be a US citizen of Ukrainian descent. He's also a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Musical Instruments; I suspect you might do better to raise the issue for discussion there. Totally anecdotal, to be sure, and possibly idiosyncratic, but for whatever it's worth I'm from the United States, and I do use the word "luthier" with some regularity, admittedly more for those who make plucked instruments than for those who make bowed ones.Drhoehl (talk) 01:40, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  luthier 

message: In the "list of articles every Wikipedia should have" there are nine composers of XIX century, and only one (Pierluigi da Palestrina) of pre-bachian "ancient music". I have suggested to add at least Dieterich Buxtehude. The talk is here. --95.232.195.147 (talk) 00:03, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Segnalation 

message: My first Wikipdia article about a classical piano duo has just been approved and I just wanted to know if is it possible to "link" or relate this article to the Classical music portal and how should I do it.
Please find the link to the article here: Carles and Sofia piano duo
Thank you very much  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Littleparrot (talk • contribs) 08:31, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Given the articles currently linked to from this portal are of such stature as Bach and Stravinsky, where do you propose that the Carles and Sofia article link be placed? Not even artists of such stature as Yo-Yo Ma or Jascha Heifetz or Enrico Caruso are linked from this page.  By the way, very nice, well-sourced article.  Encore!  Encore!  78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 15:15, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Linking new articles 

message: I hoped to amend the musical example in this article, but was told that  "the melody" had been "more clear" before. I am rarely working in the English Wikipedia, so I wonder if this is consensus?

thread_title:  Design 

message: Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject.      — The Transhumanist    03:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
