unreferenced "Selected works"
In an effort to use a neutral point of view, I have been trying to add citations correctly to Katherine Hoover's page. As it is inappropriate to remove the unreferenced template I am asking for a review of ==Selected works==. Please let me know what may be missing or in error. Also, subsections have been sorted in chronological order.

thankyou, Mkoronowski (talk) 00:24, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Selected works moved from main article
This list has been moved from the main article. These compositions should have references. WorldCat should be checked, where approximately 146 of her compositions are listed. Ideally, this information should be placed in table format, similar to how a discography is shown. This list should remain here until finished with references, then it can be returned to the main article. Regards, Spintendo  20:16, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

hidden with intent to delete in 30 days. Justification: rewritten with citations and other improvements 2 January 2022 to current, AjAirFlex (talk) 18:11, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Revised: Known works, chronological
Hello Contributors, I have found many issues in this table. Literally hundreds of conflicts between different citations for the same composition exist. Also, many references are incorrect or inconsistent. To correct and clarify, I have incorporated relevant citations from: The Copyright Public Records System (see publicrecords.copyright.gov), ASACP-ISWC (see https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/writer/335043592/HOOVER%20KATHERINE), and WorldCat-OCLC. This work is shown below.

I ask all interested contributors input, advice and comments.

 * Does the table need to be on the talk page, or can it be worked on in the article itself? Or have your changes already been incorporated? -- Beland (talk) 00:26, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Wikiprojects reassessment
This Katherine Hoover Article does not appear to classify as of low importance or Class-C. According to guidelines Class-A or higher seems to be more appropriate.

Per my observations, I ask this article be reevaluated.

Thankyou

 * A quick skim finds the article has style problems with inline external links, awkward phrasing, incorrect punctuation, and in a bunch of places there are years in parentheses which have an unclear relationship with the prose. The overall content may be slightly too promotional than is ideal for WP:NPOV. Given it does not pass B4 on Content assessment/B-Class criteria, but is more comprehensive than a Start, I would rate it a C-class. Importance is different for different Wikiprojects; for which project would you think Hoover rates as higher than "low" importance? -- Beland (talk) 00:22, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello Beland,
 * inline external links have been removed. Not certain i removed all.
 * Tried to remove award phrasing, please check.
 * Corrected some punctuation, please review.
 * Remove as many parentheses as possible and removed brackets used in music shorthand.
 * Removed self-promotion, but again please check.
 * Hoover is considered the top contemporary classical composer for Flute of her generation, and a real glass ceiling breaker for women. Hoover's career has spanded from paper music an LP recordings to iPad music and redubbed recordings. Unfortunately, performers get most of the attention, even in Wikipedia. I'm no expert, just a fan. I'll try to look for others of similar background and see how they are rated.
 * I have seen younger composers that have been more prolific by mimicking the great classics. I'd rather listen to the Mozarts and Tchaikovskys. AjAirFlex (talk) 03:01, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Separation of List of compositions by Katherine Hoover
Seeking advice:

A new Wikipedia entry entitled List of compositions by Katherine Hoover is near completion. Many citation corrections have been made and the list is broken into subcategories that reflect Katherine's talents as a flutist. This may be a little unconventional but very consistent with Hoover's biography. Recently a significant chapter has been added entitled

Compositional style. Are there any considerations that I need to incorporate to improve this Wikipedia entry? AjAirFlex (talk) 03:05, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
