Welcome to living composers

Welcome especially for giving WP living composers! Obviously you are familiar with some general aspects of WP editing. On top of the above, I have a few recommendations for translations from the German WP. I recently translated Herbert Blendinger, perhaps you take that as an example, for headings, "Persondata", categories, template DNB portal, etc. Please use capitals for names of countries, but don't overlink. Reference by inline citations!!! (English WP doesn't believe German WP.) Avoid lines such as "The list of works is very long" as completely uninformative. Mark language if not English. - Create redirects, for spellings of names without accents and for last names (unless there is already an article on the last name). Drop "Prof Dr" etc. Avoid "point of view" (POV) language such as "important". Format external links by giving the heading within the link, author (if known) before the link, publisher, date, language behind it. (I did it now for Hensel and Schedl.) Make the connection to articles in other languages (de, hu ...). - Once a composer article is good, insert the one in list List of composers by name. Once it's very good, into List of 20th-century classical composers by birth date. - Ask questions here, I will watch. I like the music of both Gárdonyis, that made me look closer. Happy editing, Mozart changes! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Gerda,

thank you very much for your help and your suggestions. I will consider them soon. I have to apologize for my inadequateness using wiki. I am working on polish translations also. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it. Yours, Henryk.

Hi Henryk, nice to meet you! Please don't call inadequate what's just a learning process. My first article was speedily deleted (also a living composer). Let's improve the articles together. I think Hensel has too many details, compared to Trojahn. I guess some of your composers might go to the Main page as "Did you know" eventually. I have some other topics first but then could pursue that. - Minor formal things on talk pages: please sign your entries by 4 tildes (which supplies date and time automatically), and use : to indent. You could say a little bit about yourself on your userpage. - I heard Liszt on the organ tonight! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:35, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Found Winbeck (I like Rudi Spring!) and worked a bit. Do me a favour: not too many at the same time! Dennis Russell Davies. Please look at links in German, see if they have an English version. Use original names such as Würzburg (not Wuerzburg). - I would not yet have placed Winbeck in a list, first improved. Persondata missing, categories ... Enough for today, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:38, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Winbeck

I took the liberty to treat Heinz Winbeck as if he was "my own":

reference with the external links and find more sources

find one line which characterizes him

create a redirect from his last name

list him in "composers by name"

find categories

find interested projects for the talk page

search for his name within Wikipedia and wiki-link (wl) where not yet done

find more pages where he should be mentioned

nominate for DYK (link also on DYK)

You may get questions concerning that, feel free to answer or ask for help here. You probably know that you find what links to a given page by going in the left column on "Toolbox".

Now please go ahead and follow the example at least for the older Gàrdonyi because he is in the 20th century list already. I want to do my weekly Bach cantata, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:17, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gárdonyi

As nothing happened, I did the same for the Gardonyis. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:56, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
