Composer project review

I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles. This is a pretty good B-class article; it mainly wants a complete works list. My full review is on the comments page; questions and comments should be left here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 17:30, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

;Composers Project Assessment of Adrian Willaert: 2024-12-24

This is an assessment of article Adrian Willaert by a member of the Composers project, according to its assessment criteria. This review was done by Magicpiano.

If an article is well-cited, the reviewer is assuming that the article reflects reasonably current scholarship, and deficiencies in the historical record that are documented in a particular area will be appropriately scored. If insufficient inline citations are present, the reviewer will assume that deficiencies in that area may be cured, and that area may be scored down.

Adherence to overall Wikipedia standards (WP:MOS, WP:WIAGA, WP:WIAFA) are the reviewer's opinion, and are not a substitute for the Wikipedia's processes for awarding Good Article or Featured Article status.

Origins/family background/studies

Does the article reflect what is known about the composer's background and childhood? If s/he received musical training as a child, who from, is the experience and nature of the early teachers' influences described?

ok

Early career

Does the article indicate when s/he started composing, discuss early style, success/failure? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed?

ok

Mature career

Does the article discuss his/her adult life and composition history? Are other pedagogic and personal influences from this time on his/her music discussed?

ok

List(s) of works

Are lists of the composer's works in WP, linked from this article? If there are special catalogs (e.g. Köchel for Mozart, Hoboken for Haydn), are they used? If the composer has written more than 20-30 works, any exhaustive listing should be placed in a separate article.

Works are counted but not enumerated; =YL0qshtVVU4C this book might help. List should be in separate article.

Critical appreciation

Does the article discuss his/her style, reception by critics and the public (both during his/her life, and over time)?

ok

Illustrations and sound clips

Does the article contain images of its subject, birthplace, gravesite or other memorials, important residences, manuscript pages, museums, etc? Does it contain samples of the composer's work (as composer and/or performer, if appropriate)? (Note that since many 20th-century works are copyrighted, it may not be possible to acquire more than brief fair use samples of those works, but efforts should be made to do so.) If an article is of high enough quality, do its images and media comply with image use policy and non-free content policy? (Adherence to these is needed for Good Article or Featured Article consideration, and is apparently a common reason for nominations being quick-failed.)

ok

References, sources and bibliography

Does the article contain a suitable number of references? Does it contain sufficient inline citations? (For an article to pass Good Article nomination, every paragraph possibly excepting those in the lead, and every direct quotation, should have at least one footnote.) If appropriate, does it include Further Reading or Bibliography beyond the cited references?

Article has references; mostly inline-cited.

Structure and compliance with WP:MOS

Does the article comply with Wikipedia style and layout guidelines, especially WP:MOS, WP:LEAD, WP:LAYOUT, and possibly WP:SIZE? (Article length is not generally significant, although Featured Articles Candidates may be questioned for excessive length.)

Lead is short; footer material needs organizing.

Things that may be necessary to pass a Good Article review

Article requires more inline citations (WP:CITE)
Article lead needs work (WP:LEAD)
Article footer material needs organization (WP:LAYOUT)

Summary

This is a pretty good article. It covers an obviously important figure pretty well, although there is no complete works list (pointer to reference provided above). Aside from that, and some minor MOS issues, the article looks in fine shape. Article is B-class. Magic♪piano 17:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

What is the evidence for him being born c.1490? It is, for one, hard to believe that the portrait, on which 1527 is written, is of a 37-year-old man.
