In particular I noticed your edits to the Carl Maria von Weber article. I am always delighted to see someone else editing in the classical music articles, as it's my main interest here. May I just make a few polite comments about your contributions? We try to avoid terms such as "great composers" as it is your opinion. Obviously others may share your opinion, but Wikipedia has an official policy of avoiding it. Try to be more precise by using terms such as "notable composers" or "influential composers" instead. Wikipedia has another official policy of attempting to keep everything verifiable, so please contribute ideas from reference works, and not from your own knowledge, and say what those reference works are. If you submit ideas other than the simplest corrections and rewordings without references then the ideas are likely to be criticised as unverifiable, or original research. Finally, try to avoid telling the reader vaguely that "no-one thinks" something is true. (We haven't asked everyone so we can't say this for certain, and we don't want to upset anyone who thinks Meyerbeer is greater than Wagner!)

Please be careful to write correct English at all times. For instance, Even though Weber's music get performed from time to time. is not a well-formed sentence. Best regards, and I hope you stay and enjoy contributing here. --RobertG &#9836; talk 17:08, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Juan Sarquis
An editor has nominated Juan Sarquis, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 03:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Juan Sarquis
A tag has been placed on Juan Sarquis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
