Talk:Maria Barbara Bach

Sources?!?!!?
I'm amazed this article has not been deleted. Someone could go to the library and find a bio or two on JS Bach and use the Grove to put together Something that is ref'd. Sad. HammerFilmFan (talk) 03:08, 28 March 2011 (UTC) HammerFilmFan

Regarding the edit of 22:03 on 23 May 1018, I did not remember to add an 'edit summary' to my revisions before saving them, so I am placing it here:

1. The article contained a major factual error which has been corrected (i.e.: 'Duke' of Kothen corrected to read 'Prince Leopold' of Kothen.

2. There were no sources listed whatsoever. I have cited sources for the new material I have added, and I have also found and cited sources for much of the existing material that I left unchanged or did not modify substantively.

3. I removed the banner warning which stated that this article did not cite any sources, since I had added them.

The article remains a 'stub'. I am a professional musicologist, but I simply do not have the time to do a complete, fully-researched bio of Maria Barbara Bach for Wikipedia. That is a year-long project (at the least!), and musicologists have to eat and pay the mortgage just like everyone else. Nonetheless, I was so frustrated by the complete lack of scholarly rigour in what I found on this page that I donated an hour to revising this pathetic excuse for an article so as to make it at least accurate, if not complete. I have corrected egregious errors that should never have been published in the first place; I have provided basic information about her that anyone with half a brain could find on the internet in two minutes flat; and I have cited authoritative sources. That is the most I can offer. Do with it what you will.Recorder485 (talk) 02:48, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
