 * Symbol question.svg The article is well written, well referenced, within the timescale and sufficiently long. I've added a couple of references and amended an error (I'm pretty sure D Mus is a Doctorate of Music degree not a Director of Music position). What I'm struggling with is the reference for the hook. It's clear that this piece is a setting for Evensong canticles. I just can't find a reference that says it's the first. I wonder whether it would be better to cite Boosey & Hawkes "... is his most popular setting of the Canticles." Bermicourt (talk) 20:03, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for looking! - Sigh, I just went by our list which assigns years to the compositions, and "in D" comes first, but can't find a source online. I found the year there, too, 1898, but the free scores say 1891. Looking closer, the source saying 20, says "some 20", so perhaps drop that also. I like the sentence - in a book! - about epitome of English Church Music for many, but can imagine what our DYK critics think of that. - I'd like not to quote the publisher ...
 * ALT1: ... that Charles Wood's Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in D have been regarded as an "epitome of Church of England worship"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:11, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Perfect. Good to go! Bermicourt (talk) 07:06, 24 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Quick query before I add to a prep. Should the title be italicized? I thought no for song titles per MOS:NOITALIC but is this in a different category? can you advise me? It's not my specialty, I'm afraid! Innisfree987 (talk) 18:21, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Magnificat would not be italic, as Sonata would not by italic. Nunc dimittis in D major would not be italic, as a generic name with a key. But I feel that Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in D is a specific title of a larger work (not a song). I also found it like that in the list of his works. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:34, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Makes sense to me, thank you! Innisfree987 (talk) 19:21, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
