I have no personal opinion on this, although if approved I will format the text as an article for the editor. More or less, this rewrite includes some rewording in the introduction, addition of works in the bulleted list, and more sources. Sam-2727 (talk) 15:40, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such as this are generally expected to have the formatting done before the request is submitted for review. Regards, Spintendo  17:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

COI Edit Request, Take 2
The user has amended their COI edit request, and I have applied some formatting:
 * 1) Change "Her music is tonal, and is influenced by Russian and Greek Orthodox liturgy" to "Her musical style is tonal and modal with influences from chant and early polyphony, Orthodox liturgical music and other non-western music."
 * 2) Add "Her music incorporates the Arabic scale with traditional Western harmony." after the aforementioned sentence
 * 3) Change "In 2015 she wrote a choral piece for her old school, Forest Preparatory School in Altrincham, for performance at an inter-school music event." to "In 2015 she was commissioned to write a choral piece, I Remember by her old school, Forest Preparatory School in Altrincham, for performance at an inter-school music event. "
 * 4) Add this citation to the end of the sentence "Her choral piece, Odyssey, was commissioned in 2017 by the Hellenic Institute of Royal Holloway, University of London."
 * 5) Change "Two short pieces were performed at the Three Choirs Festival Eucharist in Gloucester in 2019" to "In 2019 two short pieces were performed at the Three Choirs Festival Eucharist at Gloucester Cathedral and her chamber work, Concertato, was performed at the Chatsworth Arts Festival. " (so the added music festival and the added citation).
 * 6) Add the citation to the end of the sentence "Her chamber work Russian Tableaux was broadcast by BBC Radio 3 to mark International Women's Day in 2015 and 2017."

Again, no personal opinion on this. I'm more or less reformatting the request made at User talk:Lemdee. Sam-2727 (talk) 14:59, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

 * 3,4. Yes check.svg Done The additional citation is not strictly necessary and is a primary source, but there's no harm in having it.

1. As requested above, please add the sentence: "Her music incorporates the Arabic scale with traditional Western harmonies." The source is: Gumert, Lynn (Spring 2018) “Lydia Kakabadse - Concertato”. Vol 24, No 1, pages 25-26. Journal of the IAWM [International Alliance for Womenin Music].
 * Citation added by:

2. "Royal Holloway College of the University of London" is actually an incorrect title. Please change to: "Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL)." This is confirmed by Wikipedia. RHUL lost the "College" reference many years ago, after I graduated from there.

3. Please add the following 7 works to my list of Compositions: "A Vision; As I Sat at he Café; Courage; Haunted Houses; Recitativo Arioso (song); The Ruined Maid; The Way through the Woods." The full list of my compositions is confirmed in the British Music Collection.

- Has "this article has multiple issues" now been resolved? Many thanks for all your hard work Lemdee (talk) 11:37, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * , could you deal with this edit request? It's kind of a follow up from the past one. Sam-2727 (talk) 04:13, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done The list of compositions is becoming a bit long (and there's not any kind of independent critical commentary or information on what they are so it's not very encyclopedic nor interesting (compare, with, just for the sake of example, Bach, where some basic information (in addition to links to articles about the compositions, which probably doesn't apply here) such as instrumentation, tonality, et al. is provided)), but nevermind, that's a minor issue.

 * One of the pieces you mention "Recitativo Arioso (song)" was already there (albeit under a slightly different title). RandomCanadian (talk &#124; contribs) 04:58, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
