Timeline of Portuguese history (Fourth Dynasty)

Good work in Timeline of Portuguese history (Fourth Dynasty)! I was wondering when someone was going to pick that up and continue... The Ogre 14:48, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Sources, please

Hello Cenedi,

Your recent edits to Johannes Brahms are literate and thoughtful--but you're not stating where your information is from (i.e., in the form of scholarly citations). The Wikipedia has recently been trying to crack down on this--see the policy Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:No original research. So could you please return to your work and provide suitable references? Thanks very much.

Yours sincerely,
Opus33 17:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

<Cenedi replied on Opus33's talk page.>

Hi Cenedi,

I can suggest a few things. (1) Label the reference section, e.g. "The following three works are the primary sources used in the biographical material above." (2) Find the cases in the text where not all scholars agree, and say things like "In the view of Smith (1984), ". (3) See also what User:Raul654 did in Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven)--you put <ref> and </ref> around a reference source, and it automatically makes a footnote and adds the reference to the bibliography.

As far as details go, I can't help much, since I've never read any books about Brahms (which I why I don't usually edit the Brahms page). You would be the best judge.

Why is this worth doing? Two reasons: unless you have an utterly steel-trap memory, you'll find that in editing you occasionally misremember what your reference sources say (I certainly find this to be true in my own editing.) Also, it helps serve as an example to other editors. In particular, we want to hold back the nitwits who uncritically repeat the myths they were told as children (these are numerous in classical music). The best way to do this, I think, is to insist on a source for every edit.

I hope this helps.

Yours truly,

Opus33 20:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Categories

Hi there, I noticed that on a few articles you placed the category tags in {{}}, which produced some strange results. Better to use square brackets! Cheers, David Sneek 10:49, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Morgaine edits

Hi Cenedi. Thanks for your edits to The Morgaine Stories. Judging by your handle, my guess is you might want to take a look at some of the other articles in Category:C. J. Cherryh. There's a lot of work to do in terms of getting some of these articles to full potential, and your efforts there would be most appreciated! Thanks again for your contributions.

Maritime military history

Hello! As I see you have an interest in naval history I just wanted to let you know that a Maritime warfare task force has been established under the WikiProject Military history. Why not take a look? :) Inge 11:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

1928 International Columbia Graphophone Competition

Hi, Thanks for providing references for this article - it makes an interesting read! However, I am a bit confused, though, because the titles of all the books etc cited run in together. Would you kindly put a * at the begining of each line and this will start a new line for each work referenced. Thanks for the input!

Schoenberg and Brahms

Would you care to leave a comment at Talk:Johannes Brahms about your source for the statement about Brahms having approved of an early form of his D minor string quartet? I'm interested in looking it up (I'm a big Schoenberg fan), and I think others might be too. - Rainwarrior 18:27, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for correcting me on the Schumann-Brahms meeting; 1 October is clearly correct. The point of my addition was to correct the impression given by the previous editor, that Schumann single-handedly discovered Brahms' genius without anything to go on! As you no doubt know, Brahms had already impressed Joachim, and written three piano sonatas! Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 11:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Charles Napier (naval officer)

Isn't it normal in Bio articles to give a dead subject his more senior title? E.g. No King or Queen were Kings and Queens for all their careers either, yet are always referred to as such. This article should at least be entitled Sir Charles Napier, so by dissociating him from Charles James Napier, (also a Knight) his cousin and General officer in the army. Although I have done it myself in earlier articles, it seems that the use of information in parentheses in the title, should be reserved for the main article or info on a disambig page.

Hadrian

Thank you for finishing the section of Hadrian concerning the emperor's journeys! EALacey 21:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for creating Malcolm MacDonald

hope my edits don't seem too persnickety, I really appreciate that; long overdue! Have admired his work since before 1991. Schissel | Sound the Note! 18:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! And m:de:Bernard Stevens can be translated to begin with... (I couldn't believe it when I found they had articles on David Stanley Smith and Stanley Bate- we still don't have the latter- but yep...) Schissel | Sound the Note! 20:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC) (edit: except I think they have the year of death wrong. A quick check suggests he died in '83. Must reconcile!!)

Nikolay Zhilyayev

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Nikolay Zhilyayev, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Roy Harris & the curse of the ninth

Schumann violin concerto

Hi Cenedi, your attempt to de-tag this article for bias had been reversed by some means or for some reason. I agree with your February remark that the tone does not warrant such a strong flag and have removed it again, after revising the article a bit: and left a comment on the talk page. Hope you approve Kretzsch 10:32, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Cheers, that's better! I have activated your footnote in a references section. best wishes, Kretzsch 12:54, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

CfD nomination of Category:Works by Myaskovsky

I have nominated Category:Works by Myaskovsky (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for renaming to Category:Works by Nikolai Myaskovsky (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. Bencherlite^Talk 18:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Oops, I should have said "renaming to Category:Compositions by Nikolai Myaskovsky"! Anyway, you may have noticed my correction at the discussion page - thanks for stopping by. I've also created Category:Symphonies by Nikolai Myaskovsky so that the article about his sixth symphony can now be found through the Category:Symphonies by composer structure. Regards, and happy editing. Bencherlite^Talk 19:13, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Harold Truscott

Dear Cenedi, I see you originated the article on Harold Truscott. I am quite interested in him at present and wonder if you could tell me where this information comes from? More a personal question than a WP worry (though of course a source on the page would help the article....). Thanks very much for any help you can give. Best wishes and Merry Christmas, Kretzsch (talk) 22:36, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much! Do you know if those LPs and CDs include recordings of the composer performing his own works at all? I ask as I have 2 acetates of I think himself playing Piano Sonatas 5 and 7 and (with Rodney Bass, original performer) the Clarinet Sonata no 1, both home studio rec of c 1960. Attepting to ascertain their status. Kretzsch (talk) 12:46, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou, that's very useful: I have been trying to contact him (GR) and may hear more before long. Thanks for your help! Kretzsch (talk) 22:10, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for replying about my edit .... I wonder if you can provide me with all informations you have about Marcus Valerius Maximianus ... thank you in advance

1869

Besides the fact that it's good to get in the habit of doing so anyway, what's the source of that information? (clarification, since I shouldn't be writing these things when it's almost 7am my time and too early. 1869 rather than 1870 for Dietrich's symphony.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 10:41, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Here is good evidence: Dwight's Journal of Music at Google Books - December 4 1869 issue, page 149. Dietrich conducting the premiere of his own symphony, a good review. Schissel | Sound the Note! 02:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Commodus

I think some of the content in Commodus looks like it was scanned and copied from another source - notably "0n" and "cashiered". Could you look over this article and address any possible concerns? Wnt (talk) 11:53, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Cenedi, Thanks both for fixing the typo and for the words of encouragement. Both are helpful and appreciated. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 15:11, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
