Maxine Neuman
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Maxine Neuman, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Maxine neuman. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 14:49, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Advice
I've removed quite a number of promotional statements and empty words of praise from the article on Neumann. This is an encyclopedia, not a place for public relations. In particular, we include a mention of notable students only if they are notable enough to have Wikipedia articles of their own. We refer to people after their mention by their surname only, without the Ms. or other titles--and when the name is not needed for clarity, the word "she" is preferable.

There's also missing material. It is appropriate to list her recordings; it is essential to list the ones for which she won Grammys, including third party references to the awards. It is also appropriate and necessary to include reviews of the records, and reviews of her performances. You can undoubtedly add this more easily than I, so do so. But do not restore the material I removed.

I give you this advice instead of just fixing the article, because I want to encourage you to write many more biographies of classical musicians. This is a field in which Wikipedia is quite deficient.  DGG ( talk ) 22:02, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
