Talk:Edward Elgar

Roads
Tim riley You recently reverted a referenced addition to Edward Elgar (a street named after him). The summary stated: "rem (misspelled) trivia". Im not sure what rem means, I assume misspelled refers to "Honor vs Honour". As for trivia, the entry followed the line: "There are around 65 roads in the UK named after Elgar...". How is the name of another road/street in a different country trivia and not a proper inclusion to Honours, awards and commemorations? If this revert was done in error please correct it.

 * Why do you believe this specific street merits being called out? Nikkimaria (talk) 05:07, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Infobox
I am planning on adding an infobox to this article. When I wanted to edit it, there was a request to notify the talk page before attempting such a change. So can I go ahead with my edit? 202.142.67.175 (talk) 07:46, 31 December 2023 (UTC)


 * In a word, no. You'll find a lengthy discussion about this matter in the archive. Jmc (talk) 09:00, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Bias Regarding Infoboxes
There is a clear bias I've noticed of late regarding infoboxes for articles about composers. While creating infoboxes for articles on notable British composers like Arthur Sullivan, Edward Elgar, etc. and German composers like Richard Wagner is discouraged, infoboxes exist on the articles of notable American composers like Aaron Copeland and Igor Stravinsky. Why is this so? This seems like anti-European and pro-American bias.

Edit:I felt like this needed a separate topic and does not fit in any of the earlier topics, so I made one 202.142.67.175 (talk) 22:08, 31 December 2023 (UTC)


 * @202.142.67.175 Your allegation of bias in infoboxes for articles about composers is more appropriately raised at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music (where you'll find lengthy (and heated!) discussion of the topic). Jmc (talk) 01:40, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
