Copyvio check

[edit]

Earwig says good to go. The lyrics are in the public domain as a literary work; copyright expires 70 years after author's death and Warlock died 1930. Quotations used in-line with WP:COPYQUOTE.

Prose

[edit]
  • This article uses Barry Smith's full name a couple of times; just "Smith" should be find outside of his first mention in the lead and body, as he is the only Smith ever referred to in this article.
    • Thanks, I've fixed it.
  • "by British composer Peter Warlock (1894–1930) (the pseudonym of Philip Arnold Heseltine)." – might be personal taste, but the parentheses right after other parentheses looks rather odd. May I recommend replacing the last set of parentheses with a single em dash instead?
    • Looks good, I've changed it.
  • "again the following year by Winthrop Rogers (later Boosey & Hawkes)." – Sorry to nitpick, but I believe later is used for erstwhile things, and Boosey & Hawkes' Wikipedia entry suggests that it still functions. Recommend replacing with now instead.
    • Yep that's clearer, have changed.
  • "especially for Arnold Dowbiggin to perform perform as part of" – duplicate word.
    • Fixed.
  • "Chromaticism is used throughout the piece," – wikilink chromaticism.
    • Done.
  • "Ian Alfred Copley writes that this is a common recurring motif in Warlock's music." – wikilink motif (music).
    • Done.
  • "although Warlock was not religious and was anti-Christian, he liked the story of Christmas." – this could mean a couple of things; maybe wikilink nativity of Jesus to avoid confusion?
    • Good point, I've wikilinked.

Refs

[edit]

All sources are RS. Given their prevalence, I decided to spotcheck all the refs citing Smith 1994a and Copley 1979, picking the rest at random. Refs 1, 2, 7, 9–13, 18–20 and 25 show no concerns—they all support the article's content. I had access to Smith 1994a and Copley 1979 via the Internet Archive, and ref 7 via bypassing the paywall.

Other

[edit]

Infobox, external links, notes, navs, portals and cats all good.
