Welcome!

[edit]

Hi Keacord and welcome to Wikipedia! I've written some advice for past students in your class at Longy which you might find helpful. You'll find it here. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page (User talk:Voceditenore), or place {{helpme}} here on your talk page, ask your question, and another editor will come along to help. You might also be interested in WikiProject Classical music, WikiProject Composers, and WikiProject Opera. They have various guidelines for articles in this area and talk pages where you can ask advice from editors experienced in writing articles on classical music and related subjects. You'll find these guides particularly useful: WikiProject Composers: Guide to online research and WikiProject Composers: Copyright guidelines. Happy editing and best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 18:06, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Teahouse

[edit]

Hi. Me again. I wanted to let you know about another resource for beginners—Wikipedia's Teahouse. It's a place providing great support for new editors. You can ask questions (no question is too basic) and get helpful answers and advice from experienced editors. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 18:06, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New article ideas

[edit]

Hi Keacord! Take a look here for places to look for "missing articles" to be created or stubs that need expansion into proper articles. Another thing you could do is check the articles on your favourite composers. Many of them list their works either in the article itself, or in separate spin-off pages. See, for example, Aaron Copland#Selected works. Any compositions that don't have a blue link can be made into an article. Biographies are fairly easy to write and research, and you can be sure that if they're listed at Wikipedia:Music encyclopedia topics, they will definitely have sufficient secondary coverage. If you chose to write about a particular composition, it's best to choose one which has contemporary recordings as the reviews can supply a fair amount of information about the work. Hope that helps.

Hi Keacord, me again. You're probably wondering what the new article thing above was about. I had a senior moment yesterday and by mistake answered Snaudrey's question to me on your page. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 06:34, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
