User talk:Scooby dwyer

Hello

Welcome
Hello, Scooby dwyer and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Drm310 (talk) 20:08, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Welcome from me too!
Hi Scooby dwyer, and welcome to Wikipedia! I've written some advice on editing here for students in Prof. Jackson's similar classes at Longy School of Music which you might find helpful. You'll find it here. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page (User talk:Voceditenore), or place here on your talk page, ask your question, and another editor will come along to help. You might also be interested in WikiProject Classical music and WikiProject Composers. They have various guidelines for articles in this area and talk pages where you can ask advice from editors experienced in writing articles on classical music and related subjects. You'll find these guides particularly useful: WikiProject Composers: Guide to online research and WikiProject Composers: Copyright guidelines. Happy editing and best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 11:09, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

The Teahouse
Me again. I also wanted to let you know about Wikipedia's Teahouse. It's a place providing great support for new editors. You can ask questions (no question is too basic) and get helpful answers and advice from experienced editors. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 11:09, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Kevin Callahan
Hi "Scooby". I had a look at your draft and did some tweaking of the format and referencing as well as some copyedits for encyclopedic style and tone. However, I'm not sure whether the draft will be accepted by the AfC reviewers in its current state. The main problem is establishing his notability via independent reliable sources. This is key, and especially when writing about living persons. WP:MUSICBIO has more about the notability requirements. The classicalguitar.org interview seems to be the only in-depth piece about him currently in the draft and that site is self-published blog, i.e., not a very high-quality source. I think you need to find more reviews of his work either in live performance or on recordings that are of a similar quality to the NYT review of Red Fantasy already in the draft. Also, do take care that you don't paraphrase too closely from your sources, including Callahan's website. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 13:29, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
