Hello, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia, however your edits seem a little personal in character i.e. the use of exclamations and a little too much opinion and speculation without referring to a source. As an encyclopedia one needs to avoid placing one's own opinion but instead catalogue what has been said by others (and refer to the source using referencing tags or links).

'personal' contributions
all encyclopaediae are 'personal': simply quoting someone else does not make it objective. As regards something like Britten's Church Music, it may not be statistically significant in terms of total hours of oeuvre, but it is significnat for other reasons: so no mention in the basic article is a small misrepresentation of what his work is about. And yet, while one could cite all sorts of authors (eg. Whittall, Mitchell, Reed, Brett, Cooke and others) who write about his church music, nowhere do they sum that up simply. So an article has to do justice to that. Equally, the best articles i think as well as inform objectively also provoke further study. Thanks for your help: I am new to helping in this way, so I trust that things will develop.
