Congratulations
Wonderful news - I cleaned up my watch list yesterday and seem to have unwatched the FAC in the process (whoops!), so I especially appreciate the heads up. I am glad to have played a small role in improving the article, but the credit is yours, keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:33, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Let me add my congratulations; I feel I helped to get this article out of the traps, but as Ruhrfisch says, the credit is yours. Brianboulton (talk) 11:24, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Rimsky-Korsakov
Your welcome! You (and RobertG) seem well versed in redundacy removal, so much so that my 'how to' link on the talk page seems itself redundant. Amoung the TFA requests the article is excellent. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 18:23, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The support is well deserved - looks like R-K has a date with the Main Page, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 00:32, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Wonderful news (not that there was any doubt). I will try and keep an eye out for vandalism on the day, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:27, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria
I've sent the article to FAC after a pretty thorough PR. Thanks for your help & encouraging comments. Brianboulton (talk) 13:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know that the article was promoted, over an oppose from User:Stifle who objected to the non-free image and the soundfile. Fortunately he was rebutted. In my view both of these are important elements in the article, and it would have been a great pity to lose either. I'd like to thank you again for your helpful comments at peer review and for your support at FAC. Now, for the next few weeks, my wiki life belongs to Mahler.

Phrase
Could you explain me the meaning of this sentence: When Rimsky-Korsakov was offered a professorship at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory after Zaremba had left, it was to Tchaikovsky that he turned for advice and guidance.? I'm not sure if you mean that the place was offered finally to Tchaikovsky, or due to Tchaikovsky it was created for advice etc. Thank you, OboeCrack (talk) 18:59, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * So, he turned it for advice and guidance due to Tchaikovsky, didn't he? OboeCrack (talk) 19:32, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * In this sentence Piano manufacturer Franz Becker made occasional visits to the School as a token music teacher. what is the meaning of token, like provisional? OboeCrack (talk) 18:11, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Quehanna piecemeal peer review
What a kind offer - thanks so much. If you want to and have time, the first four sections of History are done (1.1 Native Americans, 1.2 Lumber era, 1.3 State forests, 1.4 Atoms for Peace) and the Piper complex and boot camp section (1.5.2) is done too. The Geology and Climate section is also done. Any comments on the talk page would be great. Thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much, I think I can finish the last two sections (Ecology and Recreation) and rewrite the lead in the next 24 hours. By this time tomorrow I should have some new photos if all works out. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:44, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for your help - if you are interested, the FAC is now open at Featured article candidates/Quehanna Wild Area/archive1. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:08, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries, had I known Raul had already picked the April Fools TFA, I would a) not have worked so hard on deadline, and b) submitted the article to peer review (which I have been sadly neglecting). I find if I read something when it is still rough I sometimes miss things when it is much more polished ("but it is so much better than it was" syndrome). That's why FAC requires multiple reviewers. The rough spots are my fault for not catching (or in some cases ignoring in the rush), not yours ;-) Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 04:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

You have no reason to be apologetic for the work you have done. Different reviewers spot different things, and as editors we all have a common goal: improving the encyclopedia. You should feel proud of your contributions. You can surely spot issues that other reviewers miss, just as other reviewers may spot things that you missed. It is teamwork, so thanks for your help.

Gustav Mahler
The article is slowly taking place. I have drafted the Biography sections; the lead is unamended and the Music, Reception and Legacy sections are still to be written. However, I would appreciate it very much if you could read though the biography sections and perhaps leave comments/suggestions on the talkpage. Apart from me (Smetana) you are the only editor who has recently brought a composer biography to featured standard, so your views will be greatly valued. The Mahler biography sections, at around 5,800 words, are roughly the same length as those for Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov, slightly longer than Smetana's. My style tends to be spare, but if you can suggest any further economies in the phrasing, that would be particularly helpful. Brianboulton (talk) 15:04, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I have left some comments on your well-judged remarks on the Mahler article talkpage. Brianboulton (talk) 17:07, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know that I have taken Mahler to peer review. You gave plenty of comments on the talkpage, but I would value anything further you have to say on the polished article (some glitches always get through). Brianboulton (talk) 18:26, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Peer review: Adrian Boult
You were kind enough to give me your comments on the John Barbirolli article a few weeks ago. I wonder if I might trespass on your time to do the same for the article on Boult, which am trying to get up to the same sort of level? - Tim riley (talk) 15:33, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Warmest thanks for your suggestions on the peer review page. They have greatly improved the article, and I am most grateful. At your service whenever you need a reciprocal eye on an article. - Tim riley (talk) 08:25, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have nominated the article at FAC. Any contribution there from you, if you were so inclined, would be most welcome. - Tim riley (talk) 17:40, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Article now promoted. Thank you so much for your help. At your service for any reciprocal reviewing. - Tim riley (talk)

Re Mily Balakirev
I will be glad to look it over, but it may take me a few days. Thanks for asking, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 21:08, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Just in case you missed it, I made some comments at Talk:Mily Balakirev. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 00:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Mahler's Eighth Symphony
The 100th anniversary of the premiere of Mahler's Eighth falls on 12 September. As you know, I am working on the Gustav Mahler article with the 150th anniversary of his birth in mind (7 July). However, the article may not pass FAC and even if it does may not be selected for TFA - there may be other notable anniversaries. So I have decided to work up the Mahler 8th article, so that if the promotion of the main artice is held up, another Mahler event can be celebrated. We might even get both as TFAs! The reason I'm telling you this is that you have edited the Eighth Symphony page in the past, and may be interested in its future development. Nothing will show for a while; at present I am working on a detailed discography for the Eighth, no mean task given that there have been more than 60 recordings. Brianboulton (talk) 23:25, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, Gustav Mahler has now been nominated at FAC. Brianboulton (talk) 15:57, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Edward Elgar
Hi, Jonyungk! Could I possibly interest you in looking at a peer review of the Elgar article? Most grateful if you could find time and inclination. - Tim riley (talk) 20:00, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your encouraging words! I have been hesitating, but will hesitate no longer. - Tim riley (talk) 17:36, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

The Bells reference in Rachmaninoff's 4th Concerto (manuscript version)?
Hi Jonyungk, I believe you made most of the contributions to the Manuscript Version section of the article on Rachmaninoff's 4th Piano Concerto. I've really valued those anecdotes, so thanks for making them available! I had a question though; I think one of your edits mentions a reference to the coda of The Bells choral symphony at the end of the exposition of the concerto's finale (1926 version of course). I'm listening to the recording by Ghindin and Ashkenazy with Helsinki and am having trouble finding where Rachmaninoff quotes himself from The Bells. I've noticed a section that sounds similar at the end of the finale, but you mention the exposition. Could you provide more details about this quotation, perhaps citing instrumentation? I'd appreciate it. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chewieblue (talk • contribs) 07:41, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Congrats on TFA
Nice to see your work on the Main Page - congrats! Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:59, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I have had articles improved by being on the Main Page and like that. I do not like the infantile vandalism. I had no computer access the day of the last TFA I was a co-nom on - that was odd not getting to see it there at all. Take care, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:52, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

TFA supports
I'd like to thank you for supporting both my recent TFA requests (Mahler and Terra Nova). I note that you aren't editing much these days and hope that you will soon resume. The clasical music field is much depleted at the moment. Brianboulton (talk) 13:48, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Walter Bache
I feel ashamed of my ignorance: Bache is news to me. I shall read carefully tomorrow - not only reviewing but learning. More to follow on review page. - Tim riley (talk) 22:13, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I will also review it in the next day or two. Thanks for asking, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:06, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Date of professorship at RAM: sorry - no date to be found in the ODBN (nor in the Times or the Musical Times, either). - Tim riley (talk) 07:02, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
