replies: text: Hello, I merged it into a 'legacy' section. Let me know if there are still issues you see. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk  16:35, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the two subsections for "Awards" and "Honours". However Debussy's 1915 dedication of a score to Stravinsky seems odd under the heading "Legacy".—Jerome Kohl (talk) 01:06, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Jerome Kohl on the Debussy point. Interesting information, but if it's to go in the article, I think there's likely another, better location. Noahfgodard (talk) 02:00, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I am at a loss to suggest a better location. In the meantime, I have added another score dedicated to Stravinsky.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 05:59, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two Honours sections 

message: In the Innovation and influence section of the article, the instrumentations of the Firebird, Petrushka, and the Rite of Spring are written out. I fully support their being there, as I think the section is an interesting and valuable look into Stravinsky's orchestration. That being said, they're a bit unwieldy in paragraph form. Should we use standard shorthand instead, or is it worth it to write the instrumentations out fully in words, so that people who aren't familiar with orchestration shorthand can understand it more easily? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noahfgodard (talk • contribs) 00:18, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me that any of the shorthand notation methods is going to make it more difficult for the general reader. What we are looking at, of course, is Stravinsky's scoring. His orchestration is a far more interesting subject, but too complex to go into here.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 01:32, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, thank you for the correction, Jerome Kohl - my mistake. And yes, I think you're right. Noahfgodard (talk) 18:33, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orchestration shorthand? 

message: I understand the reason for referring to stravinsky as a Russian-French-American composer, but I don't think it reads particularly well. Would it be better to refer to him simply as a Russian composer and then note that he later lived in both France and the United States? Noahfgodard (talk) 20:52, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought there had been a discussion of this in the past, with that solution being agreed on, but I have searched this Talk page and its archive and found nothing.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 21:13, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: He was a Russian composer - who cares where he lived at various times or what citizenship(s) he held in this respect! 50.111.34.214 (talk) 06:19, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

message: Would it not be useful to have separate sub-headings to document his achievements as a pianist and conductor? He is, obviously, identified as a composer but both these aspects of his life are important.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:5B95:FA01:D4D7:1208:5984:4E8D (talk) 14:30, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

message: In the section on early life, there is a peculiar sentence: "At around eight years old, he attended a performance of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Sleeping Beauty at the Mariinsky Theatre, which began a lifelong interest in ballets and the composer himself." To me, it would seem that the sentence should end with "interest in ballets". What is meant by "and the composer himself"? Does it mean that his interest in composition also started on this occasion? It would be good if an expert on the topic could clarify this sentence. KaldeFakta68 (talk) 22:04, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

message: Hey everyone, I've gone through the article and fixed it for a GAN. If there's anything that you think should be fixed, I'm here to do anything I can. Thanks! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 02:23, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The current music section should be immensely larger than it currently is (at least 2–3 times), particularly given the enormous literature written on Stravinsky. The lead is also hugely unsatisfactory, including practically no biographical information. I recommend you take a look at FA/GA composer articles (Gustav Mahler's article is a great example). Still quite a bit of work needed, I'm afraid. Aza24 (talk) 02:39, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

message: I had a question: is there any reason why Vera Stravinsky is referred to as "De Bosset" throughout the article, even in sections covering periods well into her marriage with IS? Walsh refers to her first as "Vera Sudeykina" then later simply as "Vera". Sitting next to my desk is a book entitled The Salon Album of Vera Sudeikin-Stravinsky; its book information page says that its subject is "Stravinsky, Vera". Maybe things have changed in the last few years, but I seem to recall she is generally referred to as "Vera Stravinsky", "Vera Sudeikina", or "Vera Sudeikin". According to WP:COMMONNAME, if any of those names are more often used to "De Bosset", then the article ought to be amended to reflect that. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 01:42, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: De Bosset?

message: I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding something, but a number of users have attempted to change his place of birth in the infobox to "Russian Empire" rather than just "Russia". I believe it is correct to use Russia, as the Russian Empire is a political entity, while Russia is the place itself. Besides, I can't find many sources that state his place of birth as "Russian Empire". MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 14:17, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Craft, Walsh, Taruskin, White, Slim, Joseph, Théodore Strawinsky, and Stravinsky himself refer to Russia, not the Russian Empire. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:54, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
