Rosario Marciano
A tag has been placed on Rosario Marciano, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why Rosario Marciano is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template  to the page and leave a note on Talk:Rosario Marciano, explaining how Rosario Marciano is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.Diez2 20:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

statement: relistening a double LP (FSM 33 056 / 57 FONO Münster 1985) containing compositions of 15 different female piano composers, completely played by pianist Rosario Marciano (female) I was glad to find any information about this pianist. I guess she got enough merrits to spent memory capacity of Wikipedia for an article.

To quote from the record cover: "...first concerts when 6 years old, lived in Europe since 1962, continueing education with Jörg Demus, Alfred Brendel, Paul Badura Skoda,

first prices (not specified) in international contests,

she founded a museum in Caracas accomodating her piano collection of historic instruments,

she achieved obligatory music lessons for pupils in Venezualian schools in 1973, !!!

she was interested in female as composer and identified more then 2.000 female composers."

Frankel, film score composing- I still say, remove the larger category.
I have scores and recordings of several of his concert works and couldn't agree more- it's through a review of his symphonies on cpo in Fanfare, I believe, that I came to know his music, and I'd heard at least 6 of the 8 symphonies and a number of other works before I heard any of his film music. What did I mean (and I still stand by my deletion)? I meant, that having both categories was redundant, if one was a subcategory of the other at least (and if not, there should be such a link formed). The more specific category gets used. Otherwise, we'd have

Musician Composer British composer English composer English film score composer and this is much advised-against. (Having his other musician-related activities- instrumental, conducting, iirc?- no problem there... Wikipedia guideline. Schissel | Sound the Note! 12:38, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Classical pianists (recorded)
Dear Ronan, while writing some biographical notes on pianists I have on a couple of occasions added a few to the list of recording pianists. Some I think are legitimate (e.g. Pouishnoff) but others you may think too insignificant. It is difficult to know where the boundary lies. If you think some I have added are outwith the purpose of the list, (easy to check on the History tab), please strike them out as you think appropriate. best wishes Dr Steven Plunkett 01:03, 17 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not for me to decide, but for you! If you care enough about a pianist, and they have left recordings, then add them, I say. All the best Rconroy 20:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed Merger of Classical pianists (recorded) and List of classical pianists
Just a heads up—a proposal has been floated to merge these two lists. A notice has been placed on the former's discussion page, and discussion is actually taking place on that of the latter. I've made a case, from my own perspective, as to why I think they should stay separate, but as the originator of the "Recorded" list you may wish to add your own thoughts as well.

Yoko Akino (artist)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Yoko Akino (artist), and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.graphicstudiodublin.com/artists/yoko_akino.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Non notable, no indication of notability, no sources can be found other than myspace, amazon, etc. which are not reliable third party sources

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jean-Marc Luisada
A tag has been placed on Jean-Marc Luisada 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Rconroy! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:17, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anton Urspruch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Genuin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for August 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Celeste Rodrigues, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Castelo Branco and Fundão. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thank you for adding to BWV 78. Can you add a source for the details, please? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * The details are taken from the score, available from IMSLP. I'll reference them in some sort of way. Rconroy (talk) 14:22, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's under the external links, you can just frame it as ref. However, things directly from the score are frowned upon here as original research (WP:OR). It would be safer if you found a reliable musicologist who arrived at these observations. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * This brings up an issue that bothers me a litte, Gerda.
 * It's hard to see how quoting from a score is any more original than quoting from a text. No judgement is required, simply an ability to read. It does not require "any analysis or synthesis of published material that reaches or implies a conclusion not stated by the sources. "
 * I don't know how reliable I am as a musicologist, but I can score read!
 * I'm tempted to leave it and see if anyone contests it!! Rconroy (talk) 20:49, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
