Rapsody in blue

This article has been deleted as it already exists at Rhapsody in Blue. It is sensible to research subjects before beginning articles, in case another editor has already had the idea and established a page on the same subject. This page is best served as a redirect to the established article. (aeropagitica) 23:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did search for it both under "Rapsody in blue" and "Rapsody in Blue" and it did not turn up. So what do you suggest? Tip02 23:22, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I very much resent that you send a message like that and offer no opportunity to message you as your page is locked down. Tip02

Hi, thanks for turning up your query on the Village Pump. aeropagitica was correct to note that Rhapsody in Blue already exists: Rapsody in blue and Rapsody in Blue are misspellings of the word rhapsody. However, I believe that immediately deleting the page was inappropriate: that page would have very well served as a redirect for others who may have used the mispelling (indeed, a google search seems to indicate that this mispelling is quite common).

In the future, I recommend doing a search like this on Google: "site:wiki.riteme.site Name of Article". Google has a very helpful spelling correction facility that can help you catch mistakes like this in the future. In the meantime, you can create redirects on those two pages to the real article, and, I have copied your short article over here if you would like to integrate this material into the real article. I am quite impressed that it was stylistically formatted correctly! Kudos for that.

Aeropagitica's user page is locked to you due to numerous vandalism attempts from people who are disgruntled with (for malicious or benign reasons) with aeropagitica. New and anonymous users cannot edit the page, but I will leave a note for you. Posting to the Village Pump is appropriate and I'm glad you did. — Edward Z.

Rapsody in Blue is a jazz-influenced concert piece composed by George Gershwin in 1924. It is meant to be played by a piano and jazz band or a piano and symphony orchestra.

Blue notes

The reference to "blue" in the title draws attention to the fact that the music throughout the piece is colored by blue notes, that is notes in the major scale that are slightly flattened or lowered, in the manner of blues or jazz musicians of the time but not considered appropriate for orchestral music. The effect of using blue notes is a wavering between major and minor key.

Pleae don't blank talk pages: it's not considered good etiquette around here. Once your talk page gets big, you usually archive it or something (see my page for an example). :-) — Edward Z. Yang^(Talk) 23:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't leave!

Please don't leave because of one bad experience you've had here. I'm sorry that your first taste of Wikimedia was having your article deleted. However, there is still a whole world here, which could do with your help! It is not nice seeing users leave, and it is worse still to see someone do this without even a glimpse of what Wikimedia is really like.

Please stay! —D a niel (‽) 18:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
